Bailey for State Auditor.

The following good words for Hor-
ace Bailey of Newbury, who is lead
ing candidate for the position OF
Auditor of Accounts, show how his
candidacy is received in other parts
of the state.
The Mortified News draws tiptop
| pen sketch of a model auditor, and
among other qualifications lays partic-
| ular stress on the model being an ex-
perienced lawyer, conversant with the
| laws and the courts. We understand
that the duties of an auditor places him
! between the creditors of Vermont and
its treasury, that every official from the
governor to petit juror is paid from the
treasury by an auditor order. 1t seems
to us that much of this talk about "rob-
bling the treasury" stopping the leaks"
and watch dog" business, is far fetched.
That the auditors department in Yer
mont should become a system of es-
pionage, requiring a technical lawyer
to pass with suspicion, upon the salaries
and expenses of our officials is not only
uncomplimentary, butunreasonable and
untrue. However, the office of auditor
does not call for a broadminded man,
acquainted with the affairs OF the state,
man of good judgment with mind of
his own, a man who after he has assumed
duties will attend to them, a good
accountant not muddled by an array of
figures, a man who has been successful
i'll his own affairs. Such man will
make model auditor. 1t is believed
that Horace w. Bailey, of Newbury, is
that kind of man, unless the reports
given of him are entirely erroneous
Rutland News.
For State Auditor, Horace w. Bailey,
of Newbury, is so far in the lead that
unless something unforeseen occurs he
may have but little, if any, opposition
i'll the Republican nominating conven-
ton. Mr.. Bailey is one of those genial,
whole-hearted men whom everybody
likes and has the business tact and ex-
perience that are needed in the Office
White River Junction Landmark.
The friends of Horace w. Bailey, of
Newbury, who are many in Orange
county and throughout the state, are
greatly pleased at the aspect of his can
didacy for the Authorship. Judging
by every surface indication, Horace is
far in the lead at present. Randolph
