MCCULLOUGH AND HIGH LICENSE.

Percival w. Clement is an expert
enced politician and we'll aware of the
fact that under the present circum-
stances he cannot hope to make as
strong fight for his pet hobby as he
could if it was straight fight be-
tween high license and prohibition.
He understands that he cannot win;
why then is he in the field. He has
seen in this contest possibility of
defeating Fletcher Proctor and at the
same time place the republican party
in a position n where he may be able to
dictate terms to it to certain extent.
In despatch which appeared in the
Boston Sunday Globe from it's Ben
nington correspondent, the cores
pondent after maintaining that Nc
Cullough was sure of the nomination,
continued as follows:
''The Mccullough men believe that
all the delegates that P. w. Clement
secures in Rutland county would
eventually turn to Mccullough, If the
political situation should change be-
tween now and convention day.
Mr.. Clement is a bitter enemy of
the Proctors and it is hard to see how
they can in any way profit by his
entering the field. 1t is easy to see
how Clement may capture a good
block of the SO delegates in Rutland
county. He may also pick up some
scattering delegates in other counties.
1t is barely possible that Clement may
hold the balance of power in the con-
vention, and in that case not only
make the nomination, but dictate
that high license or local option
plank be put in the republican plat
form"
While Clement cannot carry the
convention he is to break Rutland
county and with the aid of other del
egates which he may be able to secure
it is expected that he will hold the
balance of power in which case he
will secure the election of Gen. Nc
Cullough who is understood to be
in sympathy with his position on the
temperance question. This scheme,
however, cannot be carried out ex-
actly as it was planned as the origina-
tors have greatly underestimated the
strength of the opposition which they
will meet among the citizens of the
state. This opposition put forth by
the men who have had an opportu-
nifty to see the benefits derived from
the prohibitory law, will be suffi-
GENTLY strong to sustain the law and
place man in the executive chair
who is in sympathy with Vermont
laws and institutions and who may be
uepenueu upon 10 suahu oy DIS noIest

Many attempts have been made to
induce the supporters of DR.. Webb to
transfer their allegiance 10 Gen. Nc
Cullough on the grounds that Col.
Proctor had forced DIR. Webb to retire
from the contest. That this is utterly
false is shown by the statement given
out by DIR. Webb since bis return from
the west, and which we give on the
second page of this paper. This will
serve as a quietus to the statements
which are being made and the Nc
|Cullough contingent will now have to
depend entirely on their argument
which is based on the fact that Col.
Proctor failed to announce his can
|didacy at the time Gen. McCul-
|lough commenced his active cam
Ipaign some five years ago.

When, before Percival w. Clement
took the field, did any aspirant for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor of Vermont begin his campaign
by slandering the people of his state?
His charge about their excessive use
of drugs is absolutely without proof,
is.untrue in fact, is unnecessary as an
argument against the liquor law, and
it reveals a recklessness and malig-
nifty In him which are fast causing
him to be despised. What does Gen.
Mccullough, his "heir apparent"
think about IL? VOTER.

We copy the following from the st.
Albans Messenger. The Messenger is
strong license paper but it appre-
iates a man who is not afraid to
tand by his honest convictions.
There is no uncertainty about
Fletcher d. Proctor's attitude toward
he LIQUOR law issue, no matter
Ehether everybody agrees with his
Expressed opinion or not. he has at
EAST taken decided stand and con-
Estently maintained it, which is more
han can be said of Gen. Mccullough.
This letter of Proctor's tells the story
a very few words:
''Dr. L. A.. Rushlow,
Randolph, VT,
"My Dear Sir:-In reply TO your
bitter of the 18th inst. am perfectly
illiDg to state to you frankly my
osition in respect to the prohlbitorry
w. / am and always have been in
vor of it, and / have always so
otedwhen in the legislature. / be-
eve that it is better suited to pro-
ote the welfare and sobriety OF our
ate than any scheme of license.
"Yours very truly,
Bigned)

The Montpelier Journal in a recent
issue devotes nearly a column of its
space to the MONITOR in a fruitless
attempt to prove that Fletcher
ID. Proctor has broken faith in
entering the contest for the gov
|ernorship after having stated that
be did not expect to be candi-
bate. The Journalillustrates its point
by presenting the details of busi-
hess transaction in which it is of an
opinion that "John Doe" is suffering
BIT the hands of Orchard Roe" The
journal is in error. 1t is apparently
saboring, in common with the man
Shgement of the Mccullough campaign,
lnder the delusion that to elect a
nan to the Office of chief executive of
The state is purely business trans
,ction. The people of Vermont do rot
consider it in this light and when given
he opportunity in June they may be
depended upon to stamp this method
with the seal of their disapproval.

THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Cleveland, Nov. 2O-The Iron Trade Review
discussing market conditions in it's current ISSUE
says The difficulty Of sitting surface indica-
lions In the iron trade from the actual drift has
been increasing Of late. Price reductions on
variety OF products have given rise to one set
of views. Complications have been increased
by the drifting of the freight situation into
state OF progressive hopelessness, the approach
of winter adding to the apprehension already
felt. With all the difficulties in the way of
of multiplied hindrance, there remains the story
told month by month in the blast figures, show
Ing that the consumption of domestic pig iron is
going on at the rate of nearly Is, 900, 900 tons
a year, while imports at an annual rate of
a million tons more. There is no doubt that
of foundries has improved. and that prices
on such iron easier. Importations to
be thanked for that. The feverishness has
abated measurably and the situation Is working
toward a somewhat better adjustment of supply
and demand. Buyers not In haste to con
tract for the farther future and there is more
complacent feeling regarding supplies for next

concern to both furnacemen and foundrymen.

the latter are now being held at $50. with $31

for the first quarter of 1903, is asked. Large
steel companies still buyers of open hearth
steel. One producer, unable to get sufficient
