Every two years some member OF the
Democracy of Vermont is called upon to
submit to the humiliation of certain de-
feat by accepting the nomination for the
governorship. The nominee has the
honor of getting his name on the ballots
and into the newspapers and so secures
triling compensation in notoriety for
his sacrifice. But, of course, victim
has to be found semi-annually; other
wise the machine would 90 to pieces and
it would be hard to find men to hold Of

Mr.. Smith of White River junction,

Esteemed State contemporaries are dis
cussing with painful proliXity the ques-
tion whether retiring governors Should
send parting messages to the legislature.
BY all means let us have them. How
ever duh he may be by nature, any
governor must have learned something
by experience during his two years
tenure of office; If he has not, his private
secretary, who quite often eXcels his
superior in sense, probably has. In any
event, no harm can be done. Moreover,
nobody Is under sentence to read the
message unless he chooses to do so. As
for the legislators themselves, who will
be compelled to listen to the reading of
it, they are paid for being bored; and
the gaieties of the capital will afford suf-
ficient r9lief from their sorrows.

1t does not require person of abnor-
mally developed intellect to gather from
a brief study of the returns elsewhere
printed what the verdict of the people of
Addison county and of Vermont is with
reference to recent doings of the Democ-
racy. Although no campaign has been
carried on by the Republicans, almost
every town in this county makes a decid-
ed gain over two or four years ago. and
the same thing is true all over the State.
The notion of free wool does not strike
this region favorably and other features
of the new legislation at Washington are
equally repugnant to Vermonters gener-
ally. If the Democrats of the country
at large get any comfort out of the Yer
mont election, they are welcome to
1t. If the people of other States
feel like the people Of this State, it will
90 hard with the Democrats in the con
gress elections this fall.

speak, the trump Democratic card in
Vermont in year when, as everybody
understands, collateral, unusual and un-
forseen side issues are the thilg to break
up and overpower the Republicans.
Here was a skilfuly chosen side issue,
quite apart from the tariff, the income
tax. foreign relations or the sugar trust,
the issue of Smith. But it didn't work.
The Republican Smiths of Vermont held
aloof from their family namesake. even
with the patriotic prefix of George
Washington. They did not vote for him.
despite the determination of the Smith
family of the United States. in conven-
ton not very long ago, to hold together ;
and so it happens that, like the hight
which failed. Candidate Smith. with the
whole Democracy of Vermont back of
him, was snufled out.

SOMETIMES INDICATES THE
COMING ON OF A SERIOUS
ILLNESS.
One Little Granule of DR.. How
ards Specific Gives Re ief.
Has Banished Headache for Scores
of Women in Middleburv.

The enemy of womankind that goes
under the name of headache is response
Bile for many hours of suffering. Its va
rieties are seemingly legion, but fully
fiVe-siXths of the cases can be traced to
constipation and indigestion as the
causes. For this particular kind nothing
is such a reliable and positive cure as
DR.. HOwards specific. Women whose
heads have been raclied with pain, hav
ing hardly an hours peace for years,
have found the little silvered grauules
of this specific to give relief and cure.
One of the July medical journals gave
considerable space to reports of cases in
which DR.. Howard's specific had been
used, one of which is so interesting that
it is worthy of publication in full:
An Interesting Case.
Mrs. d L., aged 30, complained of
more or less headache through the fore
head and eyes, with sense of heat in
the face, an occasional chill or cold SEN
sation at intervals during the day.
Bowels constipated, great distress after
eating food, nausea and disgust for par
ticular kinds of food. She was advised
to take one granue of DR.. HOward's
| specific after supper and one on retiring,
which had the effect, without increasing
the dose, of regulating the bowels per-
| fectly. At the same time a desire for
food was established. she began to gain
in flesh, and where she had been anHmic
and exhausted she was able to do con-
siderable labor and walk long distances
without being out of breath"
Headaches often are the danger
signals of the near approach of fevers or
some more serious disease which DR..
Howard's specific will avert if taken in
time. Scores of women in Middlebury
testify to the grand good effects and the
perfect physical health that follow the
use of this specific.
