character, intellectually, marked sagac
, lty, energy and honest, upright deal
lngs with his fellows. lie is conserv
alive in politics, yet aggressive1y pro
gressive in whatever tends to elevat,
the moral and religious tone of the
people or develop the material resour
ces OF his town, county, State OF
Country at large. While not seeking
the political arena, politics to some ex.
tent having been thrust upon him, he
nevertheless feels that every good citi-
zen should bear his share of public
burdens. The contributions he has
made to the political philosophy Of our
state have all been elevating in tone,
harmonizing upon communities, in
spring to the young men of Vermont
and well calculated to encourage thor
oughncss, both in precept and practice,
and ground the public welfare upon
those broad democratic doctrines and
principles which yield the greatest and
grandest good to the largest numbers.
He has never believed in nor upheld
the fungus growth of special or class
legislation. He believes in the people
and trusts the people, and feels sure
that If left to abide by their honest
convictions intelligently expressed at
the ballot box, they will never perma-
nently get wrong and turn their backs
upon democratic republican opinion
and principles as defined by the fathers
and trainers of our Federal Constitu-
ton and Government. These primi-
tive sources and forces of thought,
may at times in the clash of political
partsanship, sectional pride and local
interest, be temporarily lost sight of,
but second sober thought on the part
of the average American citizen sends
these noble, underlying, granite prin-
ciples to the fore front with additional
clearness and incisive power of asser-
ton for,
Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers,
While error, wounded, writhes in pain
And dies among her worshippers.
He recognizes the American labor
er, as one of the units and great fac
tors in yielding the prosperity and
stability of the republic, and believes
that labor and capitol are twin forces,
to work in harmony for the reciprocal
blessings of both. There is no real
antagonism between them and what
seeming antagonism exists, should be
settled by fair and honorable arbitra-
ton in peaceful ways. He is opposed
to illiteracy among the masses and has
ever fostered the broad principles of
universal education throu gh the sup
port and upbuilding of our public
common schools, academies and insti-
buttons of learning.
AS strikes are destructive of both
capital and labor, and do not rise above
the mere question of endurance, it
seems the height of folly to resort to
them. They are only another name
for We Of material interests, and al
ways tend to lessen wealth and the
poweFto create wealth, and to the eX-
tent TO which they are carried, do they
imp6verisa both the rich and poor man.
Bul strikes must always end in the So
Apn of The problem of endurance,
aere capital always has the advan-
y this tyranical resort, hence the
ilic and laborer should never APP
to strikes; arbitration and chris
tsJn> iucatiosi are far moee effective in
.consNving wealth and liberty, the
great objects for which we are all toll
ing. Labor combinations for other
objects than mutual social benefits are
usually destructive, Systematically, of
all industrial wealth, the stagnatiOn of
trade, the loss of confidence, the pa
ralysis and hiding away of capital and
the sitting of personal freedom. The
remedy lies in paternalistic arbitration
and the education of the masses of the
people up into higher and broader
views and far wider range of think
ing.
Capt. Thomas H. Chubb is most
man personally. Endow-
ed with calm exterior, he has an UNI
fathomed we'll of human kindness
springing up in his soul nature. He is
genial, warm-hearted, moral,
religious and fairly enthusiastic, yet en-
lowed with great equipoise of mind and
remarkable business sagacity to per-
ceive and Judgment to execute his
plans. He POUNDS his political opin-
Ons on safe and sure moral bas s,
with depth of religious sincerity that
lot only holds his own mind up to the
,risis if there be one, but inevitably
,onvicts others and causes them to
Freely follow where he is willing to
cad. This kind of mental magnetism .
md logical reasoning is usually the
larbinger of victory in a worthy cause,
Vermonters need to rally to the sup
,Ort Of such men when discovered in
heir midst. The highly successful
manner in which he has originated,
,uilt up, conducted and ably maintain
N on grand scale the Fish Rod Fac {
DRY, located at Post Mills village, {
Orange county, this State, the largest
n the world, with goods shipped to
very civilized country on the globe,
airly attest his achievements and abil-
ties as business man. His capacity .
o master financial problems of difficult !
y has been fully demonstrated, and if
he voters of the Green Mountain State
hOuld be so fortunate as to secure his |
lection to the highly responsible Of {
ice of State Treasurer, they can rest 5
ssured that there would be no ques- j
ions of judiciary nature arise to the s
olution of which his clear head, brave !
cart and honest hands would not be i
