whether +. w. Clement is elected governor
Of Vermont or not.-Barre Telegram.
Mr. Clement arraigned those prominent
in control of the republican party in Yer
mont, and 1t is difficult to see how man
can support him without endorsing at the
polls his arraignment Of the republican
party, whose platform and chief nominees
he bolts though he does seem to admit
that State Treasurer Bacon has been an
honest official in spite of the latter's sup
port Of Mccullough. There Is one thing
certain, however, If Clement is elected
through Barrels support. that city's repre-
sentatives in the next State and district
republican conventions based on the re-
publican vote for governor will be few and
far between, and the same Is true of other
cities.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A Correspondent Asks Whether Ref
erendum would be Constitutional.

0renQum WOulQ De COnotltutlOn6l.
To the Editor Of the Free Press:
In a conversation with the writer a few
days ago one of the most eminent law
yers of the State expressed a serious doubt
whether a pure referendum would be le-
gal.
The subject Is worth discussing. Tho
law making power refs with the Legis-
lature. Some Of The people who are
clamorirg for referendum are politicians
and otfice-seekers who are afraid to put
themselves on record either for license or
against it, and who see a way to dodge
the issue by referring the subject to popular
vote. They prefer to express their opinion
In the privacy Of a polling booth. II legis-
lators should refer an act to the people
for confirmation or rejection, they would
shirk responsibility which the constitu-
ton places upon them? Have they a right
to do this? If the people ask that an act
be referred to them, they assume to them
selves a responsibility which the founders
of the commonwealth wisely placed upon
the Legislature. Have the people the le-
gal power to confirm law in this manner
If this question Is referred to the people
once, why should it not be referred bienni-
ally? If this subject Is referred. why
should not other subjects be referred
whenever there is dissatisfaction with a
law? Whittier would this precedent lead =?
and other papers that the question
whether there shall be a referendum is
not open for discussion. inasmuch as the
republican party. having committed IT.
self to a referendum. is bound to abide
by it's platform. But If constitutional
difficulties should be met with, then the
matter would appear in a new light
No one can be required to perform a
legal impossiblity. 1t may be impossible
for the legislature to grant the request
of the republican State convention. Surely
1t would not be sensible to insist that a
representative must vote for an act which
the supreme court would be likely to de.
clare unconstitutional. 1t Is worth while
to study this point before the campaign
goes any further. l would like to suggest
that the press of the State obtain and
publish the opinions Of judges of the SUI
prene court and other prominent jurists
upon the question whether referendum
| in the form suggested by the republican
| State convention would be constitutional

The Governorship and the License
Issue,

The nomination Of a republican cand-
date for the governorship of Vermont has
usually meant his election at the polls,
the only question being in relation to the
size of his majority and the present cam
paign will in all probability be no ex-
cepton to the rule. No matter whether the
democrats in their State convention nom
mate a straight ticket of their own or
endorse boiling republican candidate for
the Eovernorship. the result will not be
materially changed, for the adoption of
either alternative will result in the loss
of votes that would have been gained by
the adoption OF the other. A host of dem
ocrats are asserting boldly that If their
party convention endorses a boiling repub-
lican they will vote for the regular repub-
lican candidate for the governorship. On
the other hand If two regular tickets are
placed in the field, the great mass of
voters will almost inevitably gravitate to-
ward their own political organizations.
When the situation is relieved of the un-
certainty which has been aroused through
Misrepresentation of the action of county
conventions and the arraignment Of gov
errors and legislators for the past decade
or So including some OF those who bring
the arraignment themselves, it will be seen
that there Is no good ground for repudiat-
ing the platform adopted by the State re-
publican convention at Montpelier. The
chief issue before the formulators OF thai
declaration was whether the question OF
license VS. prohibition should be submitted
to the people. We have yet to learn OF
any considerable body of men who are
opposed to the carrying out of the conven
tons declaration In favor of a referendum
and a referendum means reference of
measure to the people,
The question which is actually befor
the public Is not whether a license Law
shall be submitted to the people In orde
that they may choose between license ant
prohibition, for that has been settled b.
general agreement OF the political organ
izations, unless we leave out Of considera
ton the third party prohibitionsts. Tn
real issue before the people and the on
to which the advocates of license and loca
option should be addressing themselves 1
what kind Of a law they want to submit
to the people.
Some of the license newspaper organs
have insisted that the friends Of licens'
should have the shaping of such a meas

THE PROSPECT IN VERMONT.
(From the New York Tribune.

1t is obvious that Clements campaign is
in fact essentially personal campaIgu,
however he may wish 1t to be regarded.
The principle for which he purports u
stand Is a part Of the republican platform.
He put it there, to be sure but there 1t i,
and there Is not much reason to think
that in adopting as his own the action
OF his followers who bolted the convention
after it had accepted their high hcense,
local option resolution he has increased
public confidence in his sincerity; and
though many bitter antagonisms have been
excited which will doubtless play an i'm
portant part in the contest, it is to "a
hoped that they will not avail to defea-
Gen. Mccullough, who is personally ard
politically entitled to the loyal support Ct

THE REARING OF YOUNG ANIMALS.

Unless person is making a special study
of young animals, he had better not under
take the rearing Of them at all as a rule.
To do the necessary work conscientiously
requires more time than most people can
afford to give to 1t, and to take little wild
creature from it's home and then neglect
it is a crime almost objectionable. 1t
sometimes happens, however. that one has
a chance to hefriend helpless young ami
NAL whose parents have been killed. or
which has met with an accident. and tn ere
is great satisfaction in being able to keep
it alive and well until 1t can shift for it
