STATEMENT BY C. S. ASHLEY.
VIII Do His Best, IL Ele cted Senator, to
Help Frame a Satisfactory High
License Local Option Law.

I find that my democratic rival for the
senatorshp is persistently disappearing
my position with reference to high license
and local option in spite Of the fact that
my attitude was announced early In the
campaign. 1t is being reported throughout
the county by him and his followers that
am opposed to high license local option as
incorporated in the republican State plat
form, adopted at the republican State con-
vention In Montpelier. I wish to deny the
statement emphatically advocated a IL
cense local option law to be submitted to
the voters before the State platform was
adopted, as a majority of my supporters in
Milton and delegates at the convention
KNOW. | wish to say TO the republican
voters of Chittenden county that IL elected
as one of your senators l will do my best
to help frame a satisfactory high license
local option law to be submitted to the vot-
ers for their approval. (Signed)

Clement and Corruption.

The Rutland Herald innocently states
that Clement is not charging corruption
against our public men" 1t almost seems
as If we remember some statement in his
speech to the effect that the large increase
in the State expenses found its way into
the pockets of the ring" but those who
heard that speech will be able to say for
themselves whether or not our memory Is
at fault.
If Clement was not intending to make
the people believe that the men responsible
for our government had abused the con-
fidence of the people and succeeded in Sc
curing a goodly share of the peoples
money for themselves, what did he use
language OF that character for.
But the Herald says Mr.. Clement is not
charging corruption against our public
men" If he does not intend to arraign the
men who make and execute our laws,
what in the name Of common sense would
ne charge. that the people themselves are
responsible for the corruption and OK
trava gance which he has held up before
the public to the scandalizing of Vermont
and her citizens before the people of the
whole country?
Has Clement reached a point where he
IS willing to admit that he charged no one
with corruption in connection with State
expenses?
Does Mr.. Clement call it corruption whcr
q candidate for public Office is forced tc
print a statement admitting that his can,
didacy has been promoted by the use OF
false affidavits whose author has received
money? Possibly Mr.. Clement can point
out to the good people of Vermont who
paid the political scavanger that per
pctrated this fraud?

Sam Small Of Gergia said at Montpelier
that the laboring men of Vermont are not
such fools as to require missionaries from
New York to tell thcm how to vote. 1t is
all right, of course, for paid missionary
to come all the way from Georgia to tell
the laboring men of Vermont how to vote.
According to Small's Interpretation all the

estimation.

THE REFERENDUM AND CHIEF
ISSUE.
(From the Brattleboro Phoenix)

The democrats want high license without
referendum. Perhaps they figure that
they can't get it that way, but that
through failure they may hold to the issue
for future campaigns.
A vote for the prohibition ticket will be
a vote thrown away this year. The State
election will turn in favor of referendum
or Of "A high license liquor law direct
through the legislature The duty of every
prohibticnist is to vote for the referendum
and to then put UP fight for prohibition
when the main issue comes before the
whole people.

LIVE DOC DEAD LION.

Any dog is brave enough to bark at
dead lion, but some dogs, it is OBJ
served, are restrained by sense of
decency and memory of things that
have happened in the past.
The late w. S. Stratton was by no
means perfect man, and the Gazette
has no intention of painting him as
an angel of all virtues or paragon
of business ability and good judg
ment. But SO far as we know, W. S.
fiawless honesty and integrity, and
the people of Colorado Springs are
not going to believe that the sale of
the Independence mine to an English
corporation was tainted by any fraud
or deceit in his knowledge.
1t is we'll known fact that Mr..
Stratton's own predictions were
strongly against parting with the
uItb IIdu soou iuSh
and wealth, and it was only after
long continued efforts by most able
promoters that he was induced to en-
ter into negotiations that finally led
to the sale to the corporation.
1t is far more likely that the pro-
moters of the Venture corporations
misrepresented the facts to their sub
scibers than it is that they were de-
ceived by the Americans. In fact,
some American newspapers at the time
called attention to the fact that the
promises of these promoters were not
justified by actual conditions at the
mine and gave warning to the danger
that might ensue to the reputation of
American mining investments. Col

Men who permit themselves to grow

Men who permit themselves to grow
wrathy over political thunder, should
keep out of politics But there are
occasions when men are justified in
expressing Indignation, when those
who ought to tell the truth deliber-
ately lie. Mr. Brooks in his ramb-
ling harangue few evenings ago, in
suited the intelligence of his audi
ence, by asserting things regarding
the passage of the Irrigation bill
which he knew to be false. Anyone
at all familiar with the matter of the
passage of that bill, we'll knows that
Messrs Bell and Shafroth did prodi-
gous labor to secure it's passage and
that it was triumph to their ability
to secure its passage in the house,
where they presented such a hopeless
minority. The republican campaign
committee should choke off Mr..
Brooks on this statement at least. if
not many others.

People in some communities, ridi-
cule the efforts of the local press to
effect reforms. They are loath to be-
lieve that prophets can reside in
their own country. But an instance
to disprove can be cited very close at
home. Western slope papers recently
agitated the matter of cheap rates on
corn to feed cattle. In a few days all
roads entering Colorado and local
roads in the state made n material re-
duction on corn tariffs into Colorado
and to the western slope points. In
the set language of dry goods adver-
tisements, rates were as follows
From Missouri river to Colorado COM
mon points was So cents per hundred,
now 80 cents; from Colorado common
points to western slope points was 80,
now %. 1t will be remembered that
The Sentinel took up express tariffs
on fruit very early in the season and

sentiments of community and the
railroads are not slow to recognize
that the p.ess is simply rejecting
general opinions and judgments when
it makes fight for the people. 1t is

efforts of the local press in any reform
movement, for even if it fails it is
