When Doctors Disagree, Who Shall
Decided

Mr. acknowledging from the tone
of some of the would be leading pa
pers of this state, there seems to be a
manifest anxiety to learn the will of
the people in regard to the election of
certain men to fill positions in the
state and nation in the near future.
If the papers believe their own
words when they say, SIT is evident
the people are for this man, or for
that man. why do they not wait for
the free and unbiased voice of the
people:
Is it not lamcntablc, in this boasted
Republican state, that the people are
not trusted to form their own Opin-
ions and Judge for the mSelvcS who
should serve them? States have long
since become the thing in this state.
Evidences that party leaders, and
those most interested are not willing
to leave the election in the hands of
the people, unbiased, are evidenced by
the numerous deputies who are work
ing for certain candidates at the ex-
pcnsc of some others equally worthy.
This practice, although persisted in,
is abhorrcnt to the early principles es-
tabishcd by our fathers.
wish to ask the people, and when
l say the people, mean those engaged
in the great leading industry of this
state, and all who would encourage pure
and unbiased elections, if it is not
time to call halt, and say to the
"button- hollerS," have no use for
you.
Now at this the last election of the
century, let us step up and out of the
old rutS and take up and maintain the
principles established by our fathers
before US.
In the near future VIC are to enter
on important state elections for state
and county officers and town represcn-
tativcs.
The election Of United States
senator which follows is contingent
on the September election. This
election is, perhaps, the most impor-
tant election in the gift of the people.
Vermont cannot afford to make any
mistake in striving to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of S. Morrill,.
oar position in Congress u has been
second to no state. 1t was made SO,
not by high toned titles, but by hon.
est conviction, honestly expressed and
by continuous service.
Who shall be the man to be elect
ed? 1t is now in the hands of the
people, to say. That power is to be
delegated at the town elections.
The most prominent names men
TONED are those of Gov. W. p. Dill
lingham and Hon. w. W. GrOut,
with that of Judge Ross as possible
compromise. All are prominent men
with good reputation gained in the
positions they have filled.
If the people of the state want
their interests in the senate represent
ed by one of the best lawyers in this
state, and in every sense gentleman,
they will find their ideal in Gov.
Dillingham;.
If by one of the most eminent ju-
rists in the country, then by Judge
Ross.
If by one who has not only made a
reputation as farmer, and a soldier,
but by his continuous service has be-
come one of the prominent members
of the House, they will elevate and
continue in the Senate the one who
has SO long been a faithful servant of
the people in the House, the Hon. w.
w. GrOut.
| speak of the Importance of the ap.
preaching election in the interest of
the people. My sympathies are with
them, being one of them.
l have faith to believe they will act
independently, regardless of the par
tisan papers and the influences that
are being spread broadcast over the
state.
That the result of this fall election
will have much to do for the future
prosperity of our state IS not to be
doubted. The voting power of Yer
mont is largely in the hands of the
farmers. If it. has not been felt in
the halls of the legislature, the last
twenty years, whose fault is it?
Then if you would see your business
in a more ilourishing condition, and
the state more prosperous, come to
the rescue.
