Mason S. Stone for State Superln-
tendent.

The Ludlow Tribune of last week had
the following to say, all of which will be
heartily approved by Mr.. Stones numer-
Gus friends in thi, section.
Hen. Mason S. Stone is a candidate for
reelection to the Office of state .superin-
tendent of education, and his candidacy is
amply deserving of the unqualified approval
and strong support it is sure to comm and.
His equipment for this responsible position
is the best. He is literally educated, has
bad large and successful experience in
the schoo room, and has, it is safe to say, a
degree of familiarity with the condition and
needs Of public schools of Vermont pos
sessed by no other man. To the dis
charge of his duties as state superintend-
ent he has brought excellent judgment, a
progressive spirit, and resolute determi-
nation to bring the schools of the state up
to the highest degree of efficiency. To
this end be has labored most energetically
in season and out of season, and his forts
have been attended with large measure
of success. Under his administration the
record of our public schools has been one
of Steady improvement and progress. 1t is
worthy of note and greatly to his credit
that in the discharge Of his duties he has
been transparently just and comparative
No section Of the state has been neglected
or deprived of attention on account Of re-
moteness from lines of trade or sparseness
of population. His practical capacity and
enterprise tsve commando d the co, fidence
OF teachers, school authorities and those Of
our citizens who interest themselves in ou1
public schools. We hope the Legislature
will re-elect the present superintendent, land
unless all signs fail this will be done.

white democrats and oil who voted
for Bryan in the last presidential
election and who would declare to
support the nominee, be allowed to
vote at the primary. Judge 4. G..
Drew called Judge Richardson's to
the chair and proceeded to oppose
it in vigorous speech in which he
lambasted the populists up one
side and down the other. He de-
cIared that he had been a democrat
and hadalways stood for democrat
ic principles. He was bitterly op-
posed to allowing the Bryan popn-
lists the right to vote at the pri-
mary. He stated that they wonld
promise anything when assisted
with a few dollars. They woald
vote at the primary one way and
at the election for their own candi-
date. Their promises" exclaim-
ed the judge, as he smote the ia
BILE before him, fare not worth a
continental damn. They despise
and 'yillify the democrats and are
worse than the republicans" and
in that emphatic strain he continu-
ed for some time. He wanted
them barred from the primary snd
then, after the nomination had Seen
made, if they still wanted to re-
turn to the party he was willing to
receive them.
He strenuously opposed the
Querbes resolution of giving them
an opportunity to reform. Judge
Drew is the champion of Mr.. Og.
den for reelection, and his utter
ances yesterday are in striking con-
trast to the resolution adopted by
the executive committee two years
ago before Mr.. Ogden's last cleo
ton to congress, and which reads
as follows:
"Be it resolved, that all former
democrats, who will support the
nominee, are invited to return and
participate with us on an equal
footing, to the end that the best
interests Of the people may DO

advocate of Judge Sutherlin, in

Notice 10 EE0mesleaders.

Notices OF Final Proof will be
published in The Colfax Chroni
Gle for $3.50. The law gives
homesteaders the right to select
the paper in which their adver.
tisements shall bepublished. Only
| half price (S1.50) will be charged
for this advertising at this office
until further notice.
All you homesteaders who have
been paying the Natchitoches En-,
terprise $500 for publishing your
Notices of Final Proof will be as
tonished to know that the paper
which is thus begging to publish
these same notices for $l.50 in
Grant parish is a strong Demo
cratic journal, and you will be stih
more astonished to hear the intel
ligent, well-posted editor of the
Chronicle say that ''The law gives
homesteaders the right to select
the paper in which their adver-
tisements shall be published"
Over 3 years ago we went with
q homesteader to see our Register
of the Land Office, Mr.. Edward
Phillips, to know if the Notice of
Final Proof could be published in
this paper, and be said not. We
modestly asked why, when he an
swered, "For two reasons first,
the law gives me the right to Sc
lect the paper ; and second, the
editor of the Enterprise is my
sister, n-law and shall favor her
in the matter.
The then Receiver told us at the
time that he did not so construe
the law, nor does it seem that the
Register and Receiver at New Or
leans SO cOnStrue it, judging from
Bro, Goodwyn's card.
But then we have borne this dis
elimination in silence because our
Registers sister-in -law is a woman,
and those other Registers and Re-
ceivers didn't have sister-in- law
running newspaper, or their de-
cisions might have been biased
also.
And then you old ''punkin
huskers," who had to homestead a
piece of land to live on, you have
got no better sense than to earn
your bread in the sweat of your |
face as the Bible commands You,
and you ought to be made to con-
tribute $3.50 to some mans sister.
in-law who is smart enough to earn
not only bread, but pies and cakes
and fine wine in the sweat of some
body clse's face.
Some of you are Populists, some
of you are Democrats and some
are preachers, but you all paid the
5000 to this Democratic organ, |
and that isn't all the little contribu-
tons you make to this dear, good
"Enterprisingn Democratic organ.
The Enterprises good luck makes
us wish we had some brothers. in
law--we mean lucky brother's-in-
law, for we have some ten or more
but nary one in the U. S. Land

nary one running for congress,
