And now the shortest possible summary
of the facts about Gov. Dilingham's rec
ord on the oleomargarine question in the
legislature Of 1854: The story was told in
full detail in an article copied in The PhG-
nix last week from the Montpelier Jour
nal and printed on the second page of this
paper. The facts in brief are that in that
legislature Mr.. Parker OF Cambridge intro
duced an anti-oleomargarine bill in the
house, the provisions OF which Gov. Dill
lingham regarded as prohibitory and un-
constitutional, and he said so on the floor
of the house. Mr.. Parker supported his
bill in famboyant speech, and the house
passed it. It went TO the senate where 1t
was referred to the agricultural committee
of three farmers who recognized its char
acter, and who held it in their possession
without action or report until the last
night of the session. In the meantime
the general committee OF the house, com
posed of nine farmers out of the total of
fifteen members, had drafted a substitute
bill which passed the house, and which
Gov. Dillingham; cordially supported be.
lieving its provisions TO be correct and rea-
sonable.
This fact the Grout newspapers persist
emily conceal, but the official record of the
house shows that Mr.. Parker opposed the
bill in a speech on the floor, while Gov.
Dillingham; supported it, his only purpose
being to secure the passage of that measure
which would be of the most service to the
farmers. This bill went to the sen1te, was
reported favorably by the committee on
agriculture, and was passed by that body.
This was on the last night of the session.
At later hour this same senate commit
tee of three farmers returned the Parker
bill without any report, a. it died natu-
raj death.
This is al there is to this whole question
so far as Gov. Dillingham; is concerned.
Every farmer who has ever seen him and
heard him speak knows that he is as much
the farmers friend as any man in public
life today. He has the intensest pride in
Vermont, and in all its traditions and in
stitutions. The farming interests are in
separable from those institutions, and
should he be elected to the United States
Senate he will be their stanch supporter,
just as Mr.. Morrill, and Mr.. Edmunds were,
and as all our leading Vermonters have
been. He would not belittle himself by
advocating demagogc legislation for pub
lie effect, and he would not play to the gal
leries just before each election, but he
will be found on every vital public ques
tion an alert, reliable, intelligent ant
! level-headed man.
Here are the facts. As was said in tn,
beginning, there is no intelligent farmel
who takes his opinions at first hand wh'
will be misled by the disgraeeful tactics o
the Grout contingent on this oleomarga
J rine question. ~

who Paysths Freight!

From the Burlington News, Tuesday, Aug. IA ]
The general trend of the senatorial can
vass has made of the Grout oleomargarine
bill an issue of the largest Importance to
the people Of Vermont. The present con-
dition is that Dillingham; is on record as
opposed to law practically identical with
that proposed by the Grout bill. The
Grout BILL enacted into law, unquestiona-
bly, would prevent the present vast substi-
tuition Of oleomargarine for butter, and by
creating much larger demand for the lat
ter put tens of thousands of dollars in the
pockets of the farmers of every county in
the state.
This is the plain statement Of the case.
The great oleomargarine interests are
backed by trust representing millions of
dollars. They have fought and will con-
| tinue to fight the Grout bill to the bitter
end. They know that with Gen. Grout to
care for and push it in the Senate, its pas
sage is more than likely, its passage in the
House already being practically assured.
What, then. follows?
Naturally the fraudulent butter interests
are hoping for Gen. Grout's defeat in the
! present senatorial contest.
Judging from his record they have every
| right and reason to believe that Dilling-
ham is their friend in this matter, and that
he would either be consistent with himself
in the Senate and oppose the bill when it
reaches that body from the House, or would
allow it to die from carefully considered
neglect.
| The oleomaIgarine trust has millions at
stake in the present contest. There is nc
| question about the amount of money that is
being used in Dillingham's interest.
Under existing circumstances who is fur
nishing the money to run the Dillingham
campaign, and why? Have MT the people
the facts and circumstances? Do the far
| Trust?

Mo ssa AgsIn.t PskIn Monday.

The allies have taken Tung Chow, y
miles from Pekin, and have begun the at
tack on the imperial city itself, according
to official reports.
A report that Pekin has been captured
is generally discredited.
The news of the capture of Tung Chow
comes from japanese sources, and an Off
cial despatch received at Rome declares
the allies proceeded to the attack of the
capital on Monday. Nothing has been
heard from Chaffee, but Admiral Remey
cabled the japanese report to Washington
yesterday. The Chinese are evidently
thoroughly alarmed, for Ii Hung Chang
sent message to the American govern
ment asking for an armistice at Tung
Chow with a view of delivering up the
foreign ministers to the relief expedition.
The reply of the United States was that
Chaffee had instructions to receive the
ministers at Pekin. Thus the Chinese ap-
peal is virtually denied.

The Rutland Herald announced last Sat
urday the candidacy of Edward L. Tenn
pie of that city for state superintendent of
education to succeed Mason S.. Stone, the
present superintendent, who will not be a
candidate for reelection this fall. Mr..
Temple is man who by native bent of
mind and by the work and experience of
his lifetime is excellently fitted for this Of
fee. He was superintendent of schools in
Rutland from 1887 to 1898, when he de-
clined re- election. He was county eXamin-
liner from 1890 to 1894. Mr.. Temple has
personal friends in Brattleboro who es-
TEEN him highly as man, and who would
count his election as a good thing for the
schools of the state. Two other candi-
dates have been named thus far, Principal
Langdon of the Burlington High school,
and Principal Ranger of the state normal
school at johnson.
