With characteristic unfairness th
sugar trust papers have exploited tn
Michigan nominations Of congress
men as q rebuke to the beet suga
contingent in congress. Michigan il
. beet sugar state and all its congress
men we're opposed to the change
made in the house bill by the senat,

not renominated but tho truth OF th,
matter is, according to Michigan men
that the reciprocity question did MOI
enter into the congressional fight Ii
these four districts at all, and that /,
was not even mentioned 10 the local
papers. They say, also, that thu
men who have been nominated Ia
place OF the four men "turned down

In Wisconsin Postmaster. General
Payne made special trip to the state
to urge that the convention should
make declaration indorsing Cuban
reciprocity. The conventions answer
was the adoption Of the following dec.
laration:

both houses Of congress-"
That was as near to the Cuban
question as the convention came, and
the significance Of the declaration, II
it is held to relate at all to Cuba, is
that it sustains the action Of the Wis.
consiu delegation In the house with
respect to the reciprocity measure.

The Lawrence Journal says: "Tt
the ordinary man, the speech Of Con
gresham Long at Ottawa was a very
adroit argument, but would hardly
bear investigation with a logical mi
croscope. For instance, he says tina,
Cuba must depend upon sugar, and
cannot raise cattle. Who told Mr.
Long that Cuba can not raise cattle!
The fact is that the island can raise
them, and raise them cheaper and
better than they can be raised even in
Texas, where they are raised cheaper
than anywhere in this country. Mr..
Long should be more careful in his
statements, or be will destroy the
force OF his arguments. And in an
other place in his speech Mr.. Long
deprecated the charge that the sugar
trust wanted the law passed. There
is but one thing to say to Mr.. Long
10 answer to this assertion, and that
Is, il the sugar trust Is not anxious to
have the law passed, why did Mr..
Havermeyer contribute from bis own
pocket $1,000 to advance the cause
OF this reciprocity measured"
There is another thing; Why did not
Mr.. Long state that the house bill on
reciprocity which the entire Republi.
can delegation in the house supported
was the bill that the 10 so.called 'in.
surgent" senators, including Senator
Burton offered to support The house
bill was satisfactory to them. What
they objected to was the change made
in that bill by the sugar trust sena.
tors. Mr.. Long seeks to make it ap.
pear that he is for Cuban reciprocity
and Senator Burton against it, In
fact Senator Burton supported the
same bill that the house passed.

Rural Mail Box Troubles.

The faculty of the "plain people"
for making needless trouble for them.
selves when their suspicion is aroused
was never better demonstrated than in
the uproar raised over the rural mail
box monopoly, so called. 1t will be
remembered that the postmaster. gen
sral, more than a year ago, called for
competition Of samples, prices, etc.,
between box-makers and inventors,
and out OF the heap Of responses, after
careful consideration and satisfactory
tests, selected fourteen specimens,
any one Of which the farmer desiring
rural delivery at bis gate could buy
and set up for himself. The COMPETE
ton was conducted under auspices
which insured its fairness as far as
any precautions could, but the disap-
pointed competitors raised a din
about "monopolies" and the like, and
induced a lot Of unthinking people to
second them.
The malcontent manufacturers
knew what they we're after; the farm
er folk who fell in line behind them
did not. 1t must have been plain to
every one who understood the condi-
tions that the government could not
undertake to be responsible for the
delivery Of letters to addresses
through the medium Of box by the
side Of the public highway, unless it
could control the mechanism OF the
box, and be assured OF its safety.
Senator Tillman and a few other
statesmen OF bis type argued at great
length 10 congress 10 favor Of allow.

made forced the postmaster-geueral
into issuing an order for the use Of

The "PoWer of the Press"

The power of the press seems to
be an iridescent dream in Vermont
this year. In Burlington the Free
Press was whooping every day in the
week for Mccullough and the News
supported Proctor. but a majority of
the delegates went to Clement. In
st. Albans the Messenger banged Nc
Cullough about as hard and showed
the strong points for Proctor about
as effectively as any newspaper in
the state, but the voters stood by
Mccullough. The Montpelier Watch
man had fine frenzy for Mccullough.
but the delegates will vote for Glenn
ent. The Proctor banner waved over
both newspaper Offices in st. Johns
bury. but the man from Proctor fin
ished third, with Mccullough first
and Clement second. Where The
PhpniX stood and how it's candidate
was three votes behind at the finish
is too recent a chapter to recall here.
the Mccullough brigade four years
ago and never faltered. but it could
not stop the high license and local
option candidate from pulling out 11S
votes ahead. There have been
charges that the Lyndonville Journal
changed hands for a specific purpose.
and in the rankness of it's support of
Mccullough it outdistanced anything
on any side in the state, but its home
town turned a deaf ear to it's hys-
terics and elected Clement delegates.
1t was a great time, for giving the
newspapers a blow in the solar plexus.
In Northfield, Randolph, Newport and
some of the smaller towns the candi-
dates supported by the local papers
were successful.

Where Will Clement End?

The most remarkable feature of a
Clements run. Handicapped by a
late start he was not looked upon as
factor in the race. The most that
any of his opponents would concede
in the beginning was that he might
carry some large towns and thus hold
the balance of power, and his en-
thusiastic supporters never thought of
predicting for him more than $50
votes at the outside. But Clement
has gained steadily in strength and at
the real finish of the caucuses Satur-
day was going the fastest of the three
candidates. His face TO face" can
vass was a dramatic and taking
stroke. Had the campaign been eX-
tended a few weeks, or had half the
work been done for him that McCul-
Tough profited by, especially in the
small towns, Clement might have
landed a winner What the result
of his campaign will be is difficult to
determine, even now. 1t is likely to
mean referendum on the liquor
question. 1t may mean more.
Clement and his followers will be
strong enough at the least to demand
recognition in the Republican state
platform this year. If they fail of
recognition, what then? Would
Clement bolt the convention and run
as an Independent candidate, assured
of the support of the local option Re-
publicans, and also sure to receive
the votes of Democrats all over the
state? What would the result be if
he did? The imagination need not
be especially vivid now to conjure up
some startling situations which no
one, not even Mr.. Clement, thought of
predicting three months ago.
