Mckinley and Proctor.

This is the ticket named by the Bennington
Banner in double-leaded column editorial.
If the selection of a vice-president comes
from the East, there could be no better
man chosen than Senator Redfeld Proctor
of Vermont. The Banner says:
Vermont presents the name of Redfeld
Proctor for the nomination for the vice
presidency at the Republican National con-
vention. She has shown her faith in him
as business man and statesman by
gladly bestowing upon him the highest
honors within her gift. That he may be
further honored by the country at large, is
her sincere wish. In Mr.. Proctor, Yer
soldier, as a legislator and a governor OF
the state, a secretary of war, and United
States senator, has demonstrated the fact
that no one is better equipped than he, to
preside over the deliberations of the Senate,
and if occasion required, to fill the duties
of the highest office in the land.
Vermont on many occasions, has rem
dered signal services to the Republican
party and to the Nation, Of a strength out
Of proportion to her size and population,
but the honor of furnishing president OF
vice-president has never been conferred
upon her. Now, when rousing majority
is wanted in Vermont in September, to
arouse the country for the November elec-
tions. is the opportme time to reward the
Green Mountain State by honoring one Of
her devoted sons.
Give us Mckinley and Proctor, and Yer
mont will set the pace in September by a
10000 majority for Mckinley, protection
and prosperity.
