member that A. W. Smith, the present
clerk and independent candid date for
re election, turns money over to the
county every quarter. Heretofore the
commissioners have been called upon
to pay out money to sustain the office
when business was better than it is
now. This is the first time since tn g
new fee and salary law was passed
that the district clerks office is self
sustaining. to say nothing of a surplus.
Mr.. Smiths administration brought
about this state OF affairs and his hon

by a handsome majority at the polls

IT will not do for any republican to
say that c. S. Heskett, as a public off.
cial, is not reliable, trustworthy and COM
petent. Too many republican officials
have had to call on him in times past
when they were in hole and couldn't
find anybody else whom they could de
pend upon, to make that story stick. 1t
is an admitted fact that Mr.. Heskett is
better qualified to handle the county
treasurer's Office than any man in the
county. That is saying much but it
is true.

That PierpODt Morgan hoax is very
coarse. j. Pierpont is a republican

afraid of any antitrust legislation at
that party's hands. Roosevelt is as
plant tool in the hands of the trusts
as Mark Hanna or any other man. The
Morgan interview was conceived to
line up the anti trust republicans.

delaying by debate or tabing for future
consideration. If Gen. Mccullough made

can doubt his ability to do so. II occa sion

My Dear Sir; In reply to your letter OF

to the prohibitory law
I am and always have been in favor Of il,

covered In any town in the state cannot
well escape this conclusion. The time has
come to try some other law to promote
temperance. The Messenger would like to
see q commission Of some kind, either vol
untary among the people themselves, or
created by the Legislature, authorized to
make a careful study and investigation
Of the subject, examine the laws OF other
states and other countries and the effects
of their operation and submit to tho legis-
lnture the draft of bill that would en-
brace their conclusions as to the most
promising temperance Legislation that the
experience of the age can suggest. Mean
while. pending some such deliberate and
Intelligent survey and study Of the liquor
problem, this paper believes that all at
tempts to stampede public sentiment by
any kind of political device whatsoever
are unworthy the support and approval
of soberminded men.
The Messenger denounces the law, sup
ports a candidate for governor who belle
YES In the law and sets down as "politi
cal device" any attempt to sweep the Of
fensve statute from our book Of the laws
this year. This is cruel treatment of
Proctor. He stands for a law which the
Messenger calls "a shame and reproach
to our moral sense" While Proctor is
bolterlng up this "reproach to our moral
sense" the Messenger is bolstering UP
Proctor. They both have got their hands
full, but why did the contemporary give
tho thing away?

EX-SENATOR ENRIGHTS ESTIMATE.

TO the Editor of The Free Press:
In the Senate of 1898 Gen. Mccullough
was elected president pro tenn. His career
as senator was entirely creditable and he
took an active part with the other meni-
bers In the measures that came before that
body. He was chairman of the committee
on rules and a member OF the judiciary COM
mttee. Unless bill commands more than
usual notice the report of the committee
to whom it has been referred is usually
conclusive Oratory in that body was
noted for its brevity. Many OF the bills
were disposed of by vote with calmness
and moderation. No senator attempted by
personal efforts to change the vote of his
fellow member.
Gen. Mccullough as I recollect II was
positive in his opinion of the merits OF
matters under consideration and expressed
them by his vote.
His address during the session before the
Vermont Officers Reunion society immedi-
ately placed him before the Legislature
as man Of more than of common
mould"
He opposed some legislation that many
of us supported notably the bill for allow
ing certain individuals to come to YER
mont and establish residences by comply
ing with certain regulations and this bill
by reason OF the opposition of some OF the
senators, including Gen. Mccullough was
not passed.
! Gen. Mccullough served his country we'll
and faithfully. He was a broad-minded
man. He was fearless in expressing his
convictions and notwithstanding all this he
in common with other senators respected
the rights of each senator.
| l have had the pleasure as we'll as the
honor of serving in the House with ex-
Gov Smith, Percival w. Clement, Fletcher
d. Proctor and many other prominent men
in the State. They could doubtless see
much in the measures I supported to
crticise and oppose. l could doubtless see
much in their conduct as legislators that 1
could criticise and oppose, but they and
each working member knows that as true
Nermonters who have the material interest
of the State at heart that he who success
fully retards and defeats hasty legislation
is of vastly more service to his constitu-
ency than he who is constantly clamoring
for changes.

To the Editor of The Free Press:
I received your letter of the 18th inst,
asking my estimate of Gen. Mccullough
las a member of the Senate of 1898, ''as
a man" and las a candidate for COVER
nor" In my view of my known deep inter-
est in Mr.. Proctors candidacy, l doubt II
any extended reply to the same would he
expected from me. LAS "A man l have al
ways liked Gen. Mccullough and I appre-
ciate his abilities. LAS member of the
Senate of 1895" he was an agreeable coll
league and of course he is capable of eX-
erting considerable influence, but how ac-
lively he participated in the details of Leg
isation the records show for themselves.
AS a candidate for governor l will only
say that whatever his activity in the Legs
lature of 1898 he has not had anything like
the experience in legislative matters which
Mr.. Proctor has had Though Mr.. Proc
