Mccullough and DIT. Webb to tho support
Of prohibition or high liccrse will be in
the air. Articles are appearing in print
forccasting the choice of tho several coun-
ties in the state. Now all these things
are little exciting but the safest plan
for the average voter Is lot to believe one
half Of what he hears. The atmosphere
viii clear off before the choice of deeg ltcs
Genes on, and the public will be able to
see clearer Thus far 1t looks as If the
choice is to be made on pCrsc nal consider
attons, but It may be that the Vanderbilt
interests arc working to secure control Of
the Central vermont and the Boston and
Maine railroads end thus give the New
York Central easy access to Boston, and
the choice If a governor of Vermont Is
only one feature Of Il big railroad scheme
The question for EermOhtcrs to decide
are, which of the two candidates has beer
the closer Identified with the state and its
welfare. which has been longer in public
life and knows move Of Vcrioont's condi-
tiur, which has been regarded outside oi
the state as Il repre- sentative man Of oui
people. SLppcsins neither of the candi-
dates was wealthy which enc OF the two
WCuld be spoken of to- day as n candidate
