A THREE DAYS MEET

Rugg & Cambell, proprietors of the
Granite City Trotting Park, have arrang-
ed bunch of races for Wednesday. Thurs
day and Friday, August 20, Il and ~,
that certainly cannot be duplicated in
Vermont. They are hanging up $4,000 in
money which has caused some of the
speediest of New England to be en-
tered. Mr. Rugg claims this meet to be
the best ever seen in Barre and believing
the same he has had men IN nearly every
town in this section advertising the event.
There are ten classes. On two days there
will be three races each day and four
races on the remaining day. The Central
Vermont railroad will run excursion
trains from st. Adams. Burlington and
White River Junction to Barre. The free
for-all contains nine entries and the
name of "E. f.. Knott" appears, which
will doubtless draw good attendance
from this city, as there are scores of adj
mirers of j. Edward alleys fast ones,
who are anxious to get glimpse of
"Knott' this season.

1t is time for Mi. Clement and the

If Percival w. Clement is 80 anxious
that people should know how many
thousands of dollars he is frittering
away in his campaign, why does he
not publish his expense account? He
owns a newspaper and nobody is at
tempting to stop him from publishing
anything he sees fit. Go ahead

Says the Brattleboro Reformer
From al' oyec New England, from
farmers, from the Agricultural Col
lege directors, and from the agricul-
tural press, comes a cry for the far
mers of New England to engage in
raising beef. 1t is cry worth the
attention of the farmers of Windham
codnty. We have thousands of acres
of pasture going to waste and with
the aid of the silo beef cattle can be
raised here in sufficient quantity to
supply the home demand, and the
prices are good. And the same is
tue of every other county in Yer.
mont.

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.

1t would seem to be very certain
from the tone of the State press, as
we'll as from the conversation of those
who are potent in guiding public
opinion, that the people of the State
will decide upon some such system as
the Norway and Sweden for the re-
gulation of the sale of liquors.
Some system of State regulation is
unquestionably, for us, the natural
outcome of the present agitation of
this question in Vermont And, if
this subject had not been clouded by
the idea of referendum, we believe
that Legislature would have been
chosen this fall which would have
passedsome such law carefully consid-
cred and adapted to the needs and
conditions of Vermont, and thus salts
factorily ended this vexing question.
That the great majority of Yer
monters do not want high license, pure
and simple, is demonstrated by the
position of the State for many years
on this question. 1t behooves them,
then, to see now, at this critical time,
that such policy is not altered by their
inattention, and the election of mem
bers to the Legislature who will vote
directly for high license law;
which means, especially, those who
favor the boiling candidate or his
ideas For it is well known that
the present policy of Mr. Clement
and those who are assisting him is not
that of referendum but the enact
ment by the Legislature this fall of a
high license law To this extent,
then, this question must he met al
this time, and the only safe way to
meet it is to elect representatives
who are opposed to high license and
the open saloon. -Middlebury Regis

and he wanted to use the gubernatorial
chair as a stepping stone to that end.
1t was Clements selfish personal am
bition that made him so virtuous, and
he was ashamed to admit that Demo
Gratis in some parts of the State have
thought best to follow the Clement
banner. The Democratic platforms
for the past thirty years have advo-
Gated the repeal of the prohibitory law.
= Mr.. McGettrick' speech was, in
the main, an effort to induce the
Clement Republicans to support the
regular Democratic ticket, but the
effect of it will tend rather to in
fuence the Republicans to stand to-
gether.

TURN OF TIL & TIDE.

Despite che strenuous efforts of Hon.
Percival w. Clement and his lieuten-
ants, the tide has turned against him
in nearly every section in the State,
and the boiling champion of the
cum issue" is losing votes every
time he speaks in public. So long as
he furnished cigars and music, and
tallv-hos, and creature comforts
solid and liquid-he was a good Eel
low. But now things have changed.
Men are taking more sober view of
the situation and many who wore the
Clement baton have discovered the
error of their ways and have ceased to
talk elemental. - Men who have
political aspirations have suddenly
realized that longer to follow the ban
ner of bolter means ruin to their
hopes and they are quietly stealing
back into the camp of the regula rs and
reinsrating themselves there.
The more men study the business
methods of Mr.. Clement the more
convinced they become that he is q
mill :onaice who stumbled into his
wealtu by turn OF the tape"
When Mr. Clements personality has
been investigated by thoughtful men
{ ev have found that, as a man among
men, he is total failure. Mr..
Clements chief asset is his marvellous
nerve, displayed when he puts himself
on exhibition. The people who have
heard Mr.. Clement make an address
once are satisfied to let the matter
drop there. He might have done bet
ter to remain in Rutland and do his
campaign work on the mail order
plan.
All joking aside the local option

tacular order has failed to arouse

candidate, hal figured on and each

CONSIDER, REPUBLICANS.

1t is time for the Republicans of
Vermont to consider some OF the re-
mote contingencies and to act accord
ingly. Suppose that by coalition
the Democrats and the Clement sup
porters should control the next Legis-
lature What then? License direct,
without reference to the people, And
what kind of license? Would it be a
free rum monstrosity like the Glenn
ent bill OF 1900? And with no candi-
date for Governor having a majority
of the popular vote the election would
be thrown into the Legislature. Con-
slider what the forces allied against
the Republicans might do. We
might get Clement for Governor, the
Democrats throwing support to him
in return 70, votes for their senatorial
candidate Clement for Governor and
then McGettrick for the United
States Senate, or vice versa. And the
Supreme Court of Vermont might be
entirely revamped. Perhaps Jones,
the Clement clclIoo, the erstwhile
disbarred attorney, might bob up as
a judge o. the Supreme Court. 1t is
the time TO- every genuine Republi-
eau for every voter to consider the
situation thought ally, and to act for
the best interests of the State. -

STEPHANIE PUT
OUT OF PALACE
KING LEOPOLD REFUSES TO
SPEAK TO PRINCESS AND SHE
Is COMPELLED TO LEAVE IN A
HIRED CARRIAGE.

Mrussels, September 21.-A dispatch to
thethe Patriotic from Spa says that when
King Leopold arrived there he refused to
speak to the princess Stephanie, countess
of Leonyay and compelled her to leave
the royal palace. The princess conse-
quently left Spa suddenly. She rode to
the station in a hired carriage and amid
demonstration of sympathy from the peo-
plee took a train for Brussels.
Princess Stephanie is the second daugh-
ter of the late Queen Marie Henrietta
and King Leopold She married the
only son of the emperor of Austria in
1881 and was left a widow in 1880 She
was married the second time in 1900 to Ell
mer. count of Leonyay. This marriage
was against the wishes of King Leopold,
who refused to permit 1t to be legalized.
He has been very bitter against his
daughter and courts friendly to that of
Belgium have declined to receive the
princess.
