The Nation Wants Peace
But If the National Honor Requires the
Sacrifice 1t VIII Accept the Loss of
Precious Life and Treasure

1t may be that national honor will re
! qure war. Should war come in defence O.
the honor of the country there is enough
courage, patriotism and wealth among th,
American people to leave no room fol
doubts or fears regarding their successful
ending of it. 1t should be remembered
however, that the national honor, so far as
the country's relations with Spain are in.
VOWED, is in the keeping of the govern.
ment, of the President and Congress Both
have been tried IN respect to the serious
troubles between the United States and
Spain, and both have given no cause for
doubt OF their ability or their purpose to
satisfactorily safeguard and maintain in
peace or war the dignity, valor and great
ness of the Republic
During the last twelvemonth President
Mckinley has been confronted with such
difficulties and embarrassment as have be
set no chief magistrate since Abraham
Lincoln filled that high office. His most
prejudiced political opponents cannot
truthtully say, are most unlikely to saw
that his conduct in respect to the Ameri-
can-Spanish question has not been one of
dignity, courage, wisdom and patriotism.
He has borne himself amid the perplexities
OF his position as a genuine representative
OF whatever is most admirable in American
craftsmanship. He has exhibited magnif-
cent self-poise, strength, sagacity, public
spirit. He has intelligently observed all
phases Of his difficult position, and while
waving aside the temptations to strife, and
while shutting his ears to the clamorous
demands of the unthnkng for war. he
has diligently and providently prepared the
country for war. He has strengthened the
army and navy; he has demonstrated to
friends and enemies that while the country
desires honorable peace it will not accept
dishonorable peace He has wisely put the
nations house in order. The doing of
that is neither war nor threat of war. Ii
IS simply wise, patriotic measure of pre-
caution.
The people should trust leadership so
sagacious, firm and cool as that of Presi
dent Mckinley has proved to be. The
time is good one for the display of like
intelligent thought calmness and dignity
by the people In the tangled affairs of ma
lions war is always a possibility, but even
the strongest probability of war does not
always assure war. The nation wants
peace and prosperity. 1t wants no unnec-
essary loss of precious lives, nor even of
treasure; but if national honor requires
the sacrifice it will accept the loss of both,
and, assured of its strength and courage,
IL will bear itself with as much dignity and
calmness in the face of war as it has done
in that of peace. 1t is a good time for the
people to observe and stand by the Pres
dent.

Representative in Congress, Is17-Is5I
---His Nomination in the Windh"m
County WING Convention in Isis.

]
| Mr. Edtor:-In The Phoenix of Feb.
| 4, there is an article copied from the Bel
| lows Falls Times of Jan. ~ in support OF
| the candidacy of Lavant NJ. Read for Con
| gress, in which this passage occurred:
| "There is a legend to the effect that one
/ William Henry of Rockingham was in
| 1876 chosen representative in Congress,
| but the truth of this we have been unable
/ to verify
1t may not be important, but from person
| al knowledge | am enabled to change what
the Times thinks legend to an historical
fact The writer of the Times, however,
is wrong in the date. 1t was not in 1916
but in 1S47. This come from the fact
that there was not at that time a congress
sonal law for the election of congressman.
Each state had then its own law, and the
election in Vermont occurred in Septem-
Der and those elected took their seats in
the December following, and not more than
year after election as now.
The Wing convention of Windham
county for 1917 was held at the court
house at Newfane in June. ] had become
voter the fall before and attended my
first political convention from the town of
Marlboro. Among other business of the
convention was the selection Of some one
to be presented to the Wing congressional
convention that would have the unani-
nous support OF the county, and possibly
, of Windsor county. as the congressional
district was then composed of Wndham,
Windsor and Bennington counties being
divided by the mountains. making geo
graphical iealOusies in the selection of men.
I The district for years had been ably repre-
sented by the Hon. Hilaud Hall Of Ben
nlngton who had decided 20 retire. The
argument before the convention was that
of right the candidate should come
from the east side of the mountain, and by
presenting the name of one man from the
east side ne could be nominated, but if all
the candidates went before the congress
sional convention they would be divided
and beaten by the west side.
When the convention was ready to
ballot for a choice there were three can
didates Calvin Townsley, a merchant OF
long standing of Brattleboro, DR.. W. H.
Ranney, eX-Lieut. Governor, of Townshend,
and William Henry of Rockingham,
cashier in bank The first ballot there
was no choice, Ranney and Townsley
leading with Henry behind At each sue
cessive ballo, Ranney and Townsley lost
votes and Henry gained, till, having finally
received ma jOrity of votes he was declared
the choice OF Windham county and was
eventually nominated and was elected at
the September election in 1917. As
