that the stomach and other organs of

Col. Hooker's Three Points.

Col. Hooker has produced a very
clever campaign document. much
better one, in fact, than the circular
entitled THE Question of John G. Nc
Culloughs Residence" which the Ben
nington candidates literary bureau is
scattering over the state by the thou
sand. But when we come to read the
Colonel's statement carefully we are
reminded of the teachers remark
about Johnny Big Heads head
there's little in it.
Col. Hooker does not say Gen. Nc
Cullough gave the Soldiers Home to
the state, but that he turned the gift
of his father-in-law that way. Pre-
sumably his action in this matter was
highly creditable. but that is not a
reason for giving him political honors.
Suppose the Soldiers Home was his
gift, which it wasn't, what then? Per-
haps Col. Hooker would pursue this
thought little farther and fix on An
drew Carnegie as the logical candidate
for President.
We have heard in private conversa-
ton. but not before on paper, that
Gen. Mccullough made" Redfield
Proctor politically Ex-Governor Proc
tor, the head of the Republican dele
cation which in national convention
voted from start to finish for Benjamin
Harrison, was introduced to the sue
cessful Presidential nominee and
recommended for a place in his cabi-
net, by Gen. Mccullough, we are told.
This is very pretty. but what vague
generality it is. Whether any man
was instrumental in placing Redfield
Proctor at the head of the war de-
partment only one man could have
told, and he, Benjamin Harrison, is
now beyond call. Redfield Proctor's
record, in war, business and politics,
was sufficient to speak for itself in
1888. That Mccullough was RESPONSE
BILE for the political career of Redfield
Proctor, a man several sizes larger
than Mccullough, is one of the hui
morous fancies of the campaign which
is for argument.
If Gen. Mccullough has any respon-
sibility for conditions, past or present,
with the Brattleboro & Whitehall rail-
road, we can only say that he has been
mighty slow in getting on his job.
The condition of that road was (and
is) a disgrace and a reproach, and
nothing was done for relief until the
long-ahffering public arose in protest
against the outrage. If the people
along the line of the Brattleboro &
Whitehall are getting today any more
than they are entitled to, or any more
than business conditions demand, they
would like to be told so. The Brattle-
boro & Whitehall railroad, as a cam
paign issue, may prove very much of
boomerang.

Why Col. Hooker Supports Mccullough

why Col. Hooker Supports Mccullough
Editor of the Phoenix:
The citizens of Vermont will pardon
this letter, as | seldom, if ever, in
fiict my views upon the public through
the press. ! honestly believe that the
election of John G. Mccullough as
governor of Vermont would be a de-
serving end to successful and nota-
BILE career since he has become a citi-
zen of our state. AS a veteran |
could not fail to support him on ac-
count of his generous action in chang
ing the bequest of the late Mr.. Park,
who left the magnificent Hunt estate
in Bennington for an old ladies' home,
to a home for disabled and sick SOL
diers. who had failed to acquire
competence. The home now is the
pride of Vermont. During the war,
from '61 to '65. our splendid war COVER
nors, Fairbanks, Holbrook and Smith,
promised to those who enlisted not
only watchful care during their SER
vice. but said to them on their return
they would be well cared for. The
prosperous soldiers have been made
governors, senators and congressman
and have occupied positions of high
honor and trust, and have eminently
filed them. Through the efforts of
John G. Mccullough the less fortunate
have been equally well cared for.
Every veteran and every son of a
veteran and every Spanish war vet
eran should support John G. McCul-
Tough for this act alone, there being
no question about his ability and fit
ness for the position of governor of
Vermont. John G. Mccullough was
10 i'm ctrtty onta al tn Dlo
field Proctor in President Harrison's
cabinet. taking him from Chicago to
Indianapolis after the convention, and
paving the way for his appointment.
Secretary Proctor was superior to any
secretary of war in our memory. save
two, the iron Stanton and the brilliant
Root, and their equal Great credit
to Vermont, another reason why John
G. Mccullough should be supported.
Locally l would say that at a recent
meeting of the Central Vermont Rail-
way Co., at st. Adams, he took the
laboring oar to place the narrow-gauge
in physical condition to do the work
of the road. So Brattleboro and
Windham county should send a solid
delegation to the convention for his
nomination from personal interests
alone. II Is needless for me to say
that John G. Mccullough would bring
to the office of governor those quail
ties of mind and heart that eminently
fit him for the place. He would rank
with Odell Of New York, and Crane
of Massachusetts, and were a meeting
of the governors of the United States
to take place, he would be the equal
of any one. This is the last time
the citizens of Vermont will have the
opportunity to do him honor. Younger
men can wait. Four years from now
the candidacy of Fletcher d. Proctor
would meet with universal support.
Fletcher d. Proctor has the chance Of
a lifetime to rise above himself and
his friends and withdraw from this
canvass, and make the nomination of
, John G. Mccullough in the conven-
tion unanimous.
GEORGE w. HOOKER.

interests in a single centre is not an
unmixed good. The people of New
fame and other of the interior towns
will feel strongly on this subject. 1t is
natural for them to have this feeling
they have a right to entertain and ex-
press it. and they are entitled to just
and sympathetic consideration. II the
people Of Brattleboro were situated as
are the people of those towns their
feeling would be the same.
If now, or at any time in the future,
the county shire comes to Brattleboro
1t ought to come as the free, voluntary
and cheerful act of a majority OF the
people of the county. 1t ought TO
come in good temper, and in good will,
or not at ali. 1t would be dear price
for Brattleboro to pay to have the
change made in any other way.

to corrupt our whole political and so.
cial fabric. They put our politics
and our civic machinery on a CONNER.
cial basis. They shut the doors
against every aspiring young man who
has no backing but his own energy.
honesty and ability. Worse than this.
they rule men of the first class out
of the account because no such man
will stoop to the methods necessary
to secure political success.
The candidacy of Fletcher Proctor
is protest against this state of things
in our Vermont politics. If he can
be nominated for governor as the
choice of the people without the in.
tervention of paid workers and with.
out the use of a subsidy fund he will
be nominated. II he cannot be nomi-
mated without these accessories he
will be defeated. This is the posi-
tion taken by his friends and support.
ers. II is the original issue restated
in the plainest way. The question.
reduced to its lowest terms, is whether
the people of Vermont shall now or
ever again take the management of
their political affairs into their own
hands without anybody's intervention
They will never have a better chance
than Fletcher Proctor's candidacy Of
fers them.

What Proctor's Candidacy Means.

In the fall of 1900 after the sena.
torial election was o-er, Hon. iona.
than Ross, ex-chief idge of the Yer
mont supreme court and ex-senator
OF the United States, addressed a let.
ter TO the editor o this paper, in
which he referred II plain terms "a
methods which had leen used TO Sc
cure votes during tn senatorial cam,
paign. In temperate but unmistak
able language, Judse Ross showed
how far we have drfted in our later
modern methods from the ideas of the
fathers in the election of our senators
and other public officials, and how
these methods are 'subversive of the
purity of politics, OF the untrammeled
expression of the peoples opinion
and how they threaten the integrity
of our political system. In conclu.
sion, Judge Ross said:
Il could not have used any of the
methods | have named and disapproved
OF without the use of much time and
much money and combinations and ma
signs of the founders of the government
1t may be true, as some newspaper has
said, that my politica. views are cut bias
II they are, they are mine, and in my
judgment are the only views consistent
with our form of government. purity in
politics and the preservation of the rights
of the people as understood by the wise
founders of the government"
Judge Ross's letter was every word
true in what it sfid and in what II
implied. 1t was final and dignified
expression on a vital subject from a
man who spoke with such authority
as no other in the state of Vermont
could command.
The methods which Judge Ross
described and condemned were pre-
cisely those which are being used to-
day to secure the nomination OF Gen.
Mccullough for governor. For
months the whole state has been sys.
tematically worked for him, and so
far as possible men of prominence or
supposed influence have been tied up
with pledges. Since DR.. Webb's
wei "hA appear
ance in the field, these methods have
been employed with redoubled persis-
tence. 1t is time these methods
were rebuked.
Let men in middle life think back
and see how many times they can re-
call when a governor of Vermont has
been nominated and elected as the
free and unsolicited act of the people
without the intervention of men who
make 1t their self-appointed business
to run the politics of the state. This
happened when Asahel Peck was
chosen, for he would not even adjourn
his court to let the lawyers attend the
convention that nominated him; but
how many times has it happened
since? The methods against which
Judge Ross prPtested have made our

We Know About Two of Them.

We now have three candidates for
governor in the field. We know where
two of them stand on the liquor ques-
tion. Mr.. Clement is an advocate of
high license. His convictions and
record are that way. Mr.. Proctor is
an advocate of prohibition. His con-
victions and record are that way. He
believes in prohibition as a principle.
AS speaker of the Vermont House in
1900 the only vote he cast on any
pending measure was against the high
license bill. This bill was defeated
Thursday afternoon, Nov. %, on a yea
and nay vote. At the end of the roll
call, Mr.. Proctor, as speaker, directed
the clerk to call his name in order that
he might vote against the bill. Gen.
Mccullough is an advocate of-what?
His convictions and record are-what?
About the convictions we don't know
But the Senate journal of 1898 shows
that on both occasions when that body
cast a yea and nay vote on the ques-
ton of high license Gen. McCullough's
name did not appear. II this was an
accident, and not dodge or strad-
die, Gen. Mccullough is entitled to the
benefit of an explanation.
