liquor dealers, enough to pay all his sal

to know what other States Attorney has
his ability to draw his salary from the
same source. and have a balance left,
herein we can see good reason why
such men should oppose Mr.. Lucia. If be

we should never have heard anything
from them about Mr.. Lucias running the
state in debt. What the friends OF TEN.
perance fear in the event Of Mr. Chapman's
election is that the 5000, will be drawn
from the state instead Of from the liquor
dealers, and the fact that all the dealers
are supporting Mr. Chapman so cheeriuly,
and heartily, Notwithstanding he is called
temperance man, is good evidence that
they think SO too
My opponent says nothing of fnes and
torleitures still in progress Of collection
and not yet paid in, and that will swell
up his Sl2l0 by number Of hundred
dollars which is fact that he knows il he
has thoroughly investigated Mr. Lnca's
financial showing, which is the best any
States Attorney has been able to show
for number Of years.
As "a total abstinence man" says
nothing of my showing that the meeting
that elected the first list Of delegates from
Middlebury was held before the ad iourn.

therefore their election was illegal, | con.
clude he finds he canrot sustain himself
and therefore abondons that point, and
his Abandonment OF it is a virtual acknowl.
edgemeut that he cannot. therefore the
action OF that committee is not binding
upon the voters of Addison County as it
was not upon the convention. As to how
the admitted delegates did vote, and as to
how the last and legally elected delegates
would have voted had they been admitted
! said do not believed three Of the adj.
mtted delegates voted for Mr.. Lucia, and
my opponent could not name even two of
the last elected delegates who would have
voted for Mr.. Chapman, had he been able
to FROM his position he would have done
so instead of calling my questioning of
his statments false. He stated that three
Of the former voted for Mr.. Lucia, and
four Of the latter would have voted for
Mr.. Chapman bad they been admitted
If this is true be could present the proofs
as II belongs to him to do, and if be has
not, it is only because he knows he could
not, and 10 clubbing nor evasion will
cover up the false position he has as.
