ABSOLUTELY PURE

politics, law or religion; his advice comes
too high to be afforded in hard times The
Judge bears an excellent reputation among
his neighbors of minding his own affairs
and granting others the same privilege. Al
the time the sentence quoted above ap
peared in these columns the writer had no
knowledge Of Judge Reads senatoii Il pref
erence and in fact has never heard any ex-
preston from him personally.
1t seems, however, that the Randolph
Herald and News has received a straight
tip. 1t states this week editorially:
"We are informed that we were in error
in stating that Judge Read was throwing
his strength to Grout for the senatorship,
for the evident purpose of creating va
csncy in the states representation in the
lower house which he might reasonably
expect TO fill. Mr.. Read personally sup
ports ID bingham. Some of the most
active workers in his behalf, however, in
cludirg his home newspaper, were for
Grout and it was not unnatural that his
own position should be msunderstood.
The Judge should pray for salvation from
the folly Of his tri-nds"
If the Herald's information is authentic
one thing at least is determined Judge
Read will support Dillingham; for the
senate.
The reader will notice that the contem-
poraries have considerable to say about
folly; in each instance folly means
policy or position that differs from that
adopted or t. ken by the contemporary for
the time being. Politics in Vermont is
a morgrel OF deceiving mein. especially
politics that appears in newspapers. There
is r OF to-day, nor has there been for some
time si"ge political state issue we have
issues of candidates instead, and issues OF
this nature are, like prot c'lon, local issues
Hardly two months ago the Randolph Her
aid, the Mortified News, the Waterbury
Record, Montpelier Record AID other up
country journals were singing the praises
Of Gen. Grout, although Gov Dillingham;
was at that time working for Judge Reai,.
ore morton TO the lower rouse. NOW n 4sesl
same papers profess to have experienced
! charge OF heart, and have thrown the
general overheard and are whoopirg 'er-up
for Dillirgham. Why ? Be ause Dilling-
ham lives in their neighborhood. There i
no question of principle at stake, the best
man for the ffice is secondary consider
alton; the absorb G, living, vital issue is
the triumph of our man because he is our
neighbor, lives in our county, and pays
taxes in our town.
Yes, politics in Vermont is matter of
candidates and not of issues
