The Grout men in St. John sbury
have filed nomination papers TO, Il
candidate of their own, O.W circuit,
TO run against the regular nominee,
who is for Ross.
Newport has five candidates in the
field-C. A. Ranney, republican,
anti-saloon; Seymour Lane, repub-
lican, high license; J.W. Redmond,
republican, anti-Saloon, and p. ].
Farrell and John Hazel, democrats.
A hot fight is expected.
AS near as can be estimated at this
time, the preferences of Rutland
county's 81 senators and representa-
tiveS stand about rs follows: Dill
ingham, ID; Grout, 10; Prouty, s.
In some cases candidates have de-
clared themselves and in more cases

Moral Responsibility State Issues
and Various WARNINGS.

Senator Proctor sounds bugle
note and broadcasts fervid appeal
to Vermont voters to turn out next
Tuesday and swell the republican
majority, to uphold the administra.
ton, and in fact to do everything but
vote for Vermont, her interests and
her people. There are beautiful
opportunities for reform here and
there in this State, and the people
know it; but year after year they
are asked to ignore every local issue
and indorsc every piece of partisan
jobbery that bears the stamp of re-
publican approval. 1t is the same
song over again.
And now Hon. John Barrett, dis
coverer of Asia, a politician out of
job, has the honor of second
ing Senator Proctor's appeal. He
spreads himself on paper and thus
reaches some influential people who
are not rallying very much this year.
Once again he talks about our
"moral responsibility" in the Phil
ippines, and Vermont voters are
once more asked to sanction the mis- :.
cradle policy that is keeping 60, 900
American soldiers tied up in the
East as hard and fast as a besieged
garrison. Perhaps Vermont voters
can do little thinking themselves.
If there is any independence left it
ought to be shown next Tuesday
They are somewhat concerned, or
should be, with the welfare OF this
State. And, unless they all become
army contractors-a very profitable
business, which now includes a large
number of politicians OF Legislative
lobbying ability-they may manifest
less interest in the administration.

A mass-mceting was recently held

the race riots and outrages in the
North. That Il Southern town, of
all places, should take the lead in
denouncing the brutal affairs that
nave lately disgraced several North

sideration by the virtuous and emo
tional friends OF the coloicd man
here in the North. There seems to

Denunciations of Southern outrages
are henceforth inconSistent-at least
it will not do to say too much about

can furnish better object lessons in

the negro problem. This is a time
