MR.. CLEMENTS SPEECH.

Mr.. Clements entire speech would fill
three columns Of this paper In opening
he charged the other two candidates for
the governorship before the convention
with buying caucus votes. and attempt
ing all kinds of chicanery to get ma
ioritv Of delegates rather than to as
certain the true sentiment Of the people
upon the question at issue. He said this
was particularly true OF Gen. McCul-
Tough. who went into the convention with
more than On delegates from towns where
voters had been brlbed In caucus to nomi-
nate him. He alleged that in many Of
these towns at the same caucuses. dele
gates were elected to county conven-
tons who were instructed to advocate
license.
lie argued that II towns where dele
gates were elected by means of bribery
had had the caucuses free from corrup-
ton. the license-local option party
would have gone into the Montpelier con-
vention with enough votes to render Gen.
McCullough's nomination impossible. and
that Mccullough. therefore. did not rep
resent the true sentiment of many towns
whose delegates supported him.

ELEMENT AND AGAIN THE TICKET
Clement Says 60 Mccullough Delegates in State Convention Were
Secured by BrbesThree Issues License Against Prohibition
Honest Election Methods Against Corruption Reduction in
State Expenses

year by a centralized purchasing of sup
plies for all public institutions in the
state. The Republican machine. he said
has been crowding around the public
treasury with it's sleeves rolled up, grab
hing for public funds. creating useless
boards for the sake of furnishing posi-
lions for useless men.
In summing up the situation from his
standpoint Mr. Clement said: THE only
issues. before the voters of Vermont today
are license as against prohibition: hon
est political methods as against the cor
rupt use of money in caucus elections.
and such a reduction of state expenses
as may be made without injury to the
efficiency of the service.
His closing eXhortation was as follows:
The Republican machine has shown it.
self to be rotten.
Naturally when its corruption is dis
covered IL cries out. you must not
bolt" Bolt what? The principles of the
Republican party? No. Bolt the rotten
machine. Cast 1t out. Throw it over
board. 1t is OF no use to honest men.
and has become a disgrace not only to
the Republican party of Vermont but to
the Republican party of the nation
Let us do what we can to maintain the
integrity of the state and to conduct
honest elections. And the first thing to
do is to acknowledge the corruption of
the party machine; condemn its methods
and repudiate its candidate.
This course will bring us out on the
night OF the election stronger for having
been tried as by fire. And as the sun sinks
| behind the western hills on the ID OF
September and its last rays shine upon
the cscutcheon of Vermont. may it dis
cover no spot or blemish there. Let
us redeem the honor of the party and
the honor OF the old state.
Let us hand down to our children the
Inheritance which we have received from
our fathers. with Its honor unsullied
its brightness undmmed

Kidney Disease Kills.
Its Victims Numbered by the Hun

Kidney diseases should be attended

sure cure known for diseases of the
kidneys, liver, bladder and blood,
rheumatism, dyspepsia and chronic
constipation. 1t is marvellous how it
stops that pain in the back, relieves
the necessity of urinating so often at
night, drives away that scalding pain
in passing water, corrects the bad eff
fects of whiskey and beer and shows
it's beneficial effects on the' system in
an increditably short time.
George L. Smith, foreman of the

Play Clean Ball.

Two or three of the Wheel club players
allowed their zeal in Saturdays game to
go beyond the bounds of good sportsman
ship, and substitute on Durham Broth
ers team lost his head and tripped an
opposing player who had cut across the
field close to the base runner. The two
who had come in contact clinched for a
minute but no serious trouble resulted.
The spectators like a strenuous player
and strategy is legitimate part of base
ball, but there are bounds which cannot
be passed with propriety 1t would
be well for all players to follow the ad-
vice, play clean ball or nothing"

PAWNEE BILLS WILD WEST.
Stirring Scenes Which Will be En-
acted in Brattleboro Tuesday, July

%.
Pawnee Bill and his gathering of
hero horsemen from many climes are
coming here with their splendid exhi-
bition. All the stirring scenes will
be enacted by genuine Indians, Cow
boys, Cossacks, Mexicans, Australian
Bushmen, Arabs. Gauchos and natives
from many lands. The detachments
from the foreign armies together with
a full battery of artillery, will give a
grand military review. Over a thous-
and men and horses are employed
Not the least of the strong attrac-
tions are the sharpshootng contests
in which May Lille, the champion
woman shot, figures prominently.
During the performance the spectators
will see the strange accoutrements
worn and carried by Kit Carson in 40.
The show itself has So many good
features that it is hard to particularize
them. There is so much that is in
structive and novel in the entertain
ment and so attractive that an after
noon or evening passed in the com
pany of Pawnee Bill and his associates
should prove alike agreeable to young
or old.
Major Gordon w. Lille is better
known the world over now as Paw
nee Bill" This soubriquet he earned
by serving the government among the
Pawnees and by having been chosen
by that band of warriors and useful
nation as it's own white chief and in
| terpreter.
A new and added feature is the
! juvenile wild west for the children
Indian, Arabs, Cossacks and Western
boys and girls participate.

Says Mccullough Eribed Voters.

The action of Mccullough and his sup
porters in bribing voters was fraud
not only upon the innocent and honest
people in towns where II occurred, but
also a fraud upon the Republican party
of the state. Mr.. Clement defended his
right to bolt by arguing that the fraud of
Gen. Mccullough and his supporters
Initiated all the provisions of an ordinary
convention, and that the certificate of
nomination issued to Gen. Mccullough
is counterfeit, and not binding upon
the people. He defied Gen. Mccullough
to answer the charges of bribery.
Mr.. Clement declared that the fair
fame of Vermont has been dragged in
the dust to dishonor. and that McCui-
lough's own methods to obtain his nomi-
nation necesstated the adoption of n
plank in the Republican platform de-
claring that the meetings of primaries
must be controlled by law to prevent the
very corruption which he himself in
troduced. That the convention, having
condoned one fraud, was willing To perpe-
trate another IS proved by the fact he
said that the two leading candidates of
its appointments are prohibitionists, The
dishonesty of the whole proceeding was
apparent. and subsequent events have
proven the insincerity of party leaders,
Mr.. Clement said that he was convinced
that the only way to settle the question
was by direct appeal to the voters of the
state, Growing dramatic at one point,
he exclaimed:

Will Bolt Every Hour and Every
Minute.

Bolt? Yes. we will bolt every hour
and minute from now until the I'd of
September, and then We will bury this
man who is the first to debauch a politi-
cal party in this state and we will in
scribe upon his political grave
Here lie the remains of the man who
tried to buy the governorship of YER
mont"
"And while he sinks without one arm
to save,
The country blooms.--a garden and a
grave"
Mr.. Clement excused the bolt of Jones
and his followers from the state con-
vention by claiming that they intend
ed to bring charges before the conven-
ton of the purchase of votes of delegates
by the Mccullough leaders, and that the
Mccullough men preferred to have the
convention break up in disorder rather
than listen to the charge which they
knew they could not defend.
Mr. Clement declared that he gloried
in the record of the Republican party,
and after reviewing its great achieve
ments, asked.
But tell me where has 1t ever been
dsgraced as IL is in Vermont by the ring
today? Shall we repudiate bribery and
cast out the bribe-giver, or shall we con-
done the Offense? Shall we purge our
party of corruption and live or shall we
purchase peace at the price of death?"

Court Imposes a Fine.

While protecting his mother from as
sault by her husband last night George
Koenig, seventeen years old, was struck
on the back Of the head with a stone thrown
by his father, who was under the influence
of liquor. The trouble took place at the
Koenig home, on Minnesota avenue, Ana
costa.
The father, Peter Koenig, was locked up
until this morning, when he had a hearing
before Judge Kimball Of the Police Court.
The son explained that he was on a corner
near his home last night when his small
sister came up and informed him that their
father had attacked their mother. When
the boy arrived at the house his mother
was, crying, and complained that her hus-
band had slapped her.
George told the court that he demanded
an explanation, and was promptly struck
on the head with a stone by his father
The mother, Who was in court, said her
husband slapped her, but she had no COM
plant to make.
The defendant admitted that the state
ments Of his wife and son were true, but
expressed no regret for his behavior. Koe-
mig said he had been drinking.
The court decided that the evidence war
ranted a conviction and imposed a fine of
$25, with three months in jail as the equiv
a1ent.

but he and the young lady managed to cor
respond and succeeded in seeing each other
occasionally in spite of parental vigilance,

Davis drove into Hyattstown, found his
sweetheart waiting for him. and. taking her
into the buggy, drove rapidly off. The alb
sence Of the young lady was not discovered
until several hours later. The father was
not slow. to discern it's meaning, but as the

give chase.
