CLEMENT AT MIDDLEBURY
Speaks to a Large Audiences and I
Very Enthusiastically Received.

Middlebury April 25.-There was only
standing room in the town hall when Per-
Cival w. Clement of Rutland, the local OPP
ton candidate for governor, arose to deliver
la speech in behalf of his canvass. His
speech was a straightforward one, and the
points made against the prohibitory law
were thoroughly explained. There were
fully one thousand in attendance. He was
introduced by the Hon. Robert A. Cartmell
amid continuous applause. He spoke for
over an hour, and was very closely listened
to by all.
He referred to the fact that the prohi-
bition agitation started in Windsor and he
thought it proper that the formal attempt
to get some change in the law should also
start in Windsor county. He said that the
theory of the prohibitory law was to pre-
vent drinking by cutting off the supply of
liquor lie said that the government should
give as much individual freedom as pos
sible without interfering with the freedom
of others.
Efforts to legislate code of morals into
| the statute had always ended in trouble
Our ancestors tried but failed and the Rev
dictionary War gave us individual free
dom. Mr.. Clement described at length how
the present law was enforced and its evil
doings, laying particular emphasis upon
the invasion of the right of trial by jury
caused by the present injunction proceed
| ings and the opportunities for blackmai
| offered by the free system"
| Music was furnished by the Middlebury
orchestra and a colored quartette from
New York city.

Footwear shops at the east cover few

While the prospects for full yield of

that while ago he felt certain that he

not feel so sure. There were a number of
matters which would have to be considered

doctor. DR.. Webb added that 1t seemed 10
him that the prospect of the shops coming
here was very favorable, though he could

And bent was he and his face was wan

And weak as the Populist cause,

That our climate would lung him up al

And his happy breast grew voluptuous,
And his trousers grew full of legs

A handsomer pair of pegs.
And he turned his back on our healthfu

And its charming familiar scenes,

And the other things in his midst, by jings
