Judge Powers has issued a card
stating that in view of the attack
that is being madeupon him through
the newspapers by ex-Gov. Page, he
will, at the proper time, meet the
voters of the first district face to
face and reply to any charges that
have or may be made against him.
May we expect to hear of the Nor
ristown-Hyde Park town line being
fortified?

1t will certainly be a matter of re-
gret if the Congressional contest in
the first district cannot be settled on
it's merits and without resorting to
unworthy tactics and guttersnipe
methods. There is no place in the
contest fornasty accusations ormud-
throwing, and there is not one of the
candidates who is, we believe, willing
that his supporters should resort to
this kind of warfare. If we correctly
estimate Judge Powers, Ex-Governor
Page and Railroad Commissioner
Foster, they are men who will in
dulge in no improper methods, but
will rather go down to defeat than
win by means of them.
Let thecontest, then, wage strongly
and earnestly on the merits of the
question. Let there be full and free
discussion of Judge Powers decade
of service in Congress. Let his posi-
ton on the Pacific railroad matter
and other important matters oflegis-
lation be fully understood by the
people of the district. Let the rela-
tive merits of his competitors for the
honor befully and franklyconsidered.
Let all attempts to put the contest
on an improper and degrading level
be summary squelched. Andlet the
man who has the necessary number
of votes win with the best of feeling
pervading the entire district.

The press of the state is still dis
cussing the congressional nomina-
ton problem, and if they reflect pop
ular sentiment the indications are
that ex-Gov. Page will be the next
member of Congress from the First
district, with votes to spare. 1t is
said that our present excellent mem
Der, Judge Powers, may be advanced
a point as they say in the navy, and
be our next senator from his district,
thus leaving the way clear for Mr.
Page.

It's none of our business and the
Times doesn't care a continental who
represents the first district in Congress
so long as the voters are satisfied, but
when the Rutland Herald undertakes
to prove in acolumn article that Gov.
Page is not popular, it looks as if
Editor Perkins had lost his sense of
humor. The Herald only begins to
state the case when it says Page
has simply been yanking strings on
certain newspapers" Bless your
heart, Page has not only been "yank-
ing strings" on the newspapers but
on the voters of this state for some
time, and he has done it in such a
way that they think he is the best OF
fellows.
He has accomplished this partly by
helping to build up and foster Vermont
enterprises, by investing his means
and those of the banking institutions
with which heisconnected in Vermont
industries and farm lands and then
making dom fuss about it." Sim
mered down to cold facts it means
that no Vermont governor since
Proctor has been more successful than
Page in increasing his popularity by
strict attention to business methods
which are the real test of a business
man, and while Proctor's methods

and doubtless this has tended to
bias newspapers in his favor because
such is only human nature; but so
far as we have observed, he has done
his advertising on a careful business
rather than political basis, buying
his space at the lowest rates and
looking for value received for every
dollar of expenditure.

Under the head of "a hot box in
his train of thought" and after pub
fishing Judge Powers card, the Jour
nal says:
If Judge Powers cares anything
for the office of representative, we do
not wonder at his excitement over
the avalanche of enthusiasm for ex-
Gov, Pages candidacy that is mani
fest in the newspapers to nearly a
unanimous degree. However, the
position he has just taken to antag-
onize the press as well as his rival,
we believe, is equivalent to political
suicide, because the support of the
newspapers is essential to hesuccess
of any politician in gaining office
Yea, verify! The pen is mightier
than the sword" We would be will
ing to wager considerable that ex-
Gov Page is accepting the press adj
vocacy of himself for representative
to Congress from the first district in
manner strictly honorable, any
other course would be foreign to the
gentleman's nature.
Probably not more than five or six
papers in the state can be counted on
Powers side;' thus, according to the
Judges sweeping declaration, the
numerous majority are corrupted
Weimagine the naughty congressman
will be sorry for the statement when
he cools off from his "hufs."

Now because the papers that have
seen fit to advocate the election of a
good man, who they believe will win
and who will please the people of not
only the First district but of the
the whole state, Judge Powers is
pleased to call it an attack by ex-
Gov. Page and it is practically an
insinuation that the press Of the state
has been corralled by the genial ex-
Governor for his own base ends,
which the Reporter repudiates and
we think we can vouch for the rest
in the same manner, 1t looks to us
as though the Judge was sparring
for time, but there is no time like the

better "get on to his job" If he
thinks he has a mortgage on the

and the time will come when he will
be sorry he spoke. The Reporter
believes in Page first, last and al
ways.
