Mr.. Proctor and the elusive Estates
manship" of Gen. Mccullough.
2 If Gen. Mccullough were gov
ernor, he says he would approve,
''any constitutional measure strength
ening or modifying the statute in any
regard. It makes no difference to
him whether the prohibitory law is
strengthened Or abolished. Indeed it
would make no difference to him if
bill repeating the prohibitory law
substituted no restrictions whatever
upon the free sale of rum; it would
be constitutional.
1t is hard to see what fault the
advocates of high license can find
with that platform but it certainly
will furnish some food forithought for
Gen. McClullough's temperance sup
porters.
Why is Gen. Mccullough afraid
to state whether he is Or is not in
favor of the prohibitory law and why
does he always dodge that question?
Does Gen. Mccullough want the
people of this state to measure his
courage of convictions and moral
stamina by his position on this ques-
ton?
For the sake of being governor
would Gen. Mccullough agree to alb
dicate all of his functions in connec-
ton with legislation and to simply
perform the clerical task of signing
without question all bills presented
to him on all subjects whatsoever
their character?
Is it not fact that Gen. McCul-
Tough is friend of the high license
system, which prevails in the city of
his winter residence and which GER
tainly has not madel that city remark
able for sobriety and virtue, but that
he is afraid to say SO?
s Is it not fact that though this
question is one which the majority of
the people of Vermont believe in
wolves moral principle, he wants to
remain neutral, expecting by that
course to catch few votes of unwary
temperance people and get in the end
the high license votes of his annex
candidate, Mr.. Clement?
9 May the state be delivered from
governor who either has no opinion
on so vital question as that of the
prohibitory law, or if he has any
opinion has not the courage to express

majority was 1888. And yet, probably
when Mr.. Faxon has passed away,
unless his mantle falls upon some
other courageous citizen who is able
to give his time to the cause, the
activity of the liquor interests will
gradually encroach upon public
opinion and before many years the
city would relapse into license. 1t is
this consideration that makes state
prohibition so much better for the
people as whole than local option
Who would be Rutland's HI. FL. Faxon?
Would P. W. Clement?
The Burlington Free Press, although
it was early committed to Nc
Cullough, and though it knows that
Clements candidacy is mere
stalking horse for Mccullough, is en-
titled to credit for resenting Clements
slander on Vermont and for defend
ing the prohibitory law. Neverthe
less everyb body should be practical.
McCullough's success. would be
Clements success. This considera-
tion and McCullough's position on
the temperance question ought to

roads or schools, but the question is
whether it shall be permitted to
demoralize the whole public.
1t may be that Percival w. Clement
attaches more Importance to what he
considers his sprivate right to buy
liquor and drink it before the eyes of
the public than he does to this great
question of the effect of a policy upon
the convictions, the life and the habits
of the people, but the question is not
what he and other drinkers wish, it is
what does the general public, what
docs the state which makes the laws,
desire and intend to provide for the
greatest number.

Although the contest for the gov
ernorship has taken the attention of
the people to great extent they are
now coming to realize that it is nec-
cssary they Eshould give a little
thought to the question of the lieu
tenant governorship. 1t is universal
ly conceded that in the point of
ability Hon. F. w. Baldwin of Barton
is the peer of any candidate in the
field and the experience which he has
had has been more in line to fit him
for the duties of this Office than has
that of the other aspirants to the Of
ice. In addition to these facts it may
be well to consider the question of
how the counties which are now ask
ing for this honor have been treated
in the past. During the past ten
years, Essex county, the home oi
Hon. E. M. Bartlett, has held state
Office during six years of the time,
Washington county, the home oi
Hon. Y. s. Stanton has held an Office
four years of the time, while Orleant

With the publication of the letter
from Gen. Mccullough which appears
in another column the issue as to
high license and local option is fairly
Joined. Mr.. Clements clear-cut
declaration in favor of repeal of the
prohibitory law and the passage of a
high license and local option act was
followed by the letter of Fletcher D.
Proctor accepting the challenge and
placing the writer squarely in favor
of the prohibitory law. Now comes
Gen. Mccullough with a declaration
which is clearly in line with his legis
lative record on this subject. He has
a habit of not turning up at roll-call
when amendments to the prohibitory
law are pending, and his letter, as
our readers will observe, has as many
sides as there are opinions on this
great question. The prohibs will not
be offended atlithis letter and it il
designed also to attract the license
crowd. 1t is an adjustable document
and resembles. "a gill-net as much a,
anything.

PROCTOR AND NC CULLOUGH ON THE
PROHIBITORY LAW.

DIR L. A. RUssLOw,
Randolph, VT,
My DEAR SIR: reply to your
letter of the 10Th inst, am perfectly
willing to state to you frankly my
position in respect to the prohibitory
law. am and always have been in
favor of it, and l have always so
voted when in the legislature. I be-
lieve that it is better suited to pro-
mote the welfare and sobriety of our
state than any scheme of license.
Yours very truly,
FLETCHER d. PROCTOR.
Proctor, VT, April 10Th, 1902.
No. BENNINGTON, VT, April 21, 1902.
DIR L. A. RUssLOW,
Randolph, Vermont.
DEAR SIR:-I am in receipt of your
late favor, and in answer thereto will
say as have said to others:-
That prohibition has been the policy
of Vermont for half a century and
probably will continue to be, as, in
my opinion, it has the approval of the
majority of the people of the state.
Changes, however, in the statute, of
more or less significance, have been
made or proposed from time to time.
AS in the past, so in the future, the
voters in the several towns have been
and will be in the habit of discussing
this and other issues in their local
canvasses and the result cannot fail
to be reflected in the complexion of
the representatives chosen to the
general asse mbly. Should these rep
resentatives, fresh from the peoples
hands, adopt any constitutional meas
ure strengthening or modifying the
statute in any regard, were I placed
| in position where l should be called
on to act, should approve the meas
IRE. The same majority, under our
constitution, that enacts a bill can re-
pass it if it be disapproved by the
executive. [ am,
Yours very truly,
j. G. MCCULLOUGH.

Baldwin, has been given a state office
but two years of the time. In consider
ing the question from this standpoint
it is very evident that Orleans county
has claims far greater thanth others,
and as Mr.. Baldwin is eminently
qualified for the position there is
every reason to expect that his claims
will be recognized by the people.
