Il. II. LEWIS. EDITOR.
l.. H. LEWIS.

For the great victory of last week,
much credit is due the Republican
State Committee. True, there were
no sky rockets or brass bands, but
there was a quiet active campaign,
every movement on the political
chess-board being skilfully handled
by the committee and its excellent
chairman. There is always a vast
amount of work in the way of plan
ming and directing which requires
good generalship, and from the re-
suits obtained it is very evident that
the committee performed every duty
and that no mistake was made in
placing Hon. DIN Merrill at its head.
In this connection also We believe the
work of the press should not be over
looked. The Republican papers
throughout the State did most
excellent service for the ticket. From
the day of the convention down to
election day every one of them were
strong and hearty in their advocacy
of the ticket, the party and its prin-
ciples. While good work is always
expected from the press it is seldom
that it's services are complimented,
vet on this occasion we believe it's
good work has been heartily appre-
ciated.

The election last week was the first
popular verdict on "perfdy and dis
honor" and not only rolled up a
magnifi' ent majority for the gallant
one.a'med veterans at the head of
ticket, but emphatically shows how
Vermont stands on the tariff ques-
ton. With wool and lumber on the
free list, tie duties on Canadian farm
products greatly reduced and the
bounty on maple sugar abolished,
the farmers of Vermont were dealt a
heavy blow, and in return they have
severely pummelled the Democratic
administration.

The result of the election simply
shows that the Republicans turned
out in force, in response to the fren-
zied appeals made by their party
leaders, while the Democrats in many
instances stayed at home.-Argus.
And pray, why did the Democrats
stay at home? Was it not because
of disgust with the manner in which
their party has managed the affairs

This week the G. A. R. national en-
campment is holding forth at Pitts
burg. While the attendance is not
as large as on previous occasions the
vets are there in goodly numbers.
The occasion is graced by the pres
ence of many of the old war leaders,
and the reunion of the boys in blue,
like it's other gatherings, will be a
memorable event. The Grand Army
of he Republic has seen it's largest
encampment and the ranks are fast
thinning out, yet there is an abund-
ance of glory and patriotism left.
Far distant be the day when these
encampments shall end.

The chief reason that labor in the
United States has achieved the high
position which it holds has been the
protection Of American industry
against pcuper labor competition.
Republican protection has built up
American industrial independence
and enabled American workingmen
in every walk of life to earn higher
wages than the workingmen of any
other country.

THE ELECTION IN LAMoILLE
COUNTY.
THE STATE VOTE.


Corrected returns from all towns oil
Lamoille county give L. A. Wood
bury a majority of l 1902, an increase
of 324 over the majority OF two years
ago. The increase in total Republican
vote over two years a 20 is 167, while
the decreasein total Democratic vote
is 191. The Prohibition vote is al
most entirely wiped out-there being
but six votes cast-while two years
ago the vote was IS. The main
cause of this decrease is probably ow-
ing to the fact that the Prohibition
ticket was not placed on the official
ballot, because of the failure to file
nominations with the Secretary of
State. The Populists had no State
ticket two years ago, but this year
they poll LOG votes in this county.
For Representative in Congress
Judge Powers has a majority of
l ,445-327 increase over two years
ago. The increase in total vote cast
for him is 1913, while the decrease of
the opposition is 1877. The Judge
may well feel proud of the magnif-
cent support given him by his county.
Out of total vote of 1905 he re-
ceived all but 400. 1t shows that he
is held in high regard by his home
people. Taken altogether Lamoille
county has cast magnificent vote
and coming as it does largely from
the farming people, it cannot be
taken otherwise than as rebuke to
the Democratic administration.
THE COUNTY VOTE. ...
The county vote shows up just as
finely as the State vote. Capt. Ken
fields majority for Senator is l ,4O2,
one of the largest we believe any per-
son ever received for that office.
Sheriff Stevens, who received a ma
jority of 996 two years ago, this
year has 1 Allan increase of over
400. Nobody but a very popular
and efficient person could receive
such d vote. And 50 we might go
through the entire ticket and give
comparisons, but as space forbids
and as we give the entire vote in tab
ulated form elsewhere, it is sufficient
for us to say, All honor to the Re
publicans of Spunky Lamoille for the
handsome vote given your ticket
from head to foot.

The publication in the Argus for
several weeks, at first in a garbled
condition and then afterwards cor
rectly, of an extract from Col. Wood
bury's address at the State conven-
ton, proved a veritable boomerang.
1t did the business in correct shape.
The Republicans of Vermont owe the
Argus a vote of thanks for the aid it
thereby gave the party in the late
campaign.

A Plea for District Representation

EDITOR News AND CITIZEN:-
DEAR SIR:-1 write to suggest that an effort
be made at the coming session of Legislature
to have the basis of representation changed
from towns to districts. That would, in a
measure, do away with the idiotic squabble
enacted IN some towns at every election of
representative. The principle seems to pre-
vail that without regard to fitness, if only
some one will lend himself so that a few can
beat someone else, that is all that is required,
few will have their way by hook or crook.
Sometimes the boiling candidate gets left
after all, and then he is politically dead. kill
Ell by so-called friends who have no fur
Their use for him. Serves him right. we
say. Sometimes the Democratic candidate
gets elected by want of union in the Republi-
can ranks. Serves them right again. Such
management is demoralizing to our youth
and the intelligence of our Legislature is de-
terioating. The last one was a laughing
stock What will the next be? The manage
ment at the election reminds one of nothing
so much as the late Congress, who legislate
like lot of boys, what one wanted the other
wouldn't have on any condition, and two or
three run every thing to suit themselves.
Let something be done to preserve the Yer
mont Legislature that it may be kept on
par Win Othef states. OBSERVER.
