SAMPLE UNTRUTHS.

Many counties in convention as
sembled have repudiated the Mont
pelier platform - This is one of the
truest statements Mr.. Clement made
in his aggregation of misrepresenta-
tions-ranging all the way from mild
perversions of truth and fact to I'M
truths that would have appalled, An
anias. And the statement quoted,
in form and substance is utterly false
Concerning this same matter the
st. Adams Messenger says, County
conventions are boiling the platform,
and individuals are boiling both plat
form and nominees. "
Many counties - In this matter,
as in many others, Mr. Clement
did not descend to particulars. There
are fourteen counties in the State-not
many in the aggregate, not so many
but that the Demosth enes of the con-
vention could easily have specified.
"' Many" regulators where there
are not many to repudiate if all kicked
over the traces--and where none has
pudiated-presents a fair instance
of the reckless and INSCRIPTIONS char
acter of every charge or statement in
Clements speech.
Now will the st. Adams Messen-
ger, re-echoing Mr.. Clements decla-
rations in general and in particular,
come down from sweeping affirmation
to the easy particulars which should
sustain its declaration that county

The subioined appeared in the even

adopted by the Clement convention
on Wednesday:
1--WE demand that the nominee of
the Montpelier convention publish
a statement of his campaign expenses

against him, or that he decline the
nomination.
This was not among the resolutions
reported by the committee and read
in convention, and hence was not
adopted by that body. The resolu-

were synopsis of Mr.. Clement $

issues of the canvass are local, dealt
with the charge of bribery and other
uses of money in political canvasses,
pronounced prohibition ineffective,

declared for caucus law, and ar

PERCY'S ONE TALENT.

Percival W. Clement arraigned the
Republican administration of the
State for it's conduct of the public
business, and particularly in the mat
ter of purchase of supplies.
Mr. Clement was member of the
House Of Representatives in 1892, and
of the Senate in 1900-the middle and
the latter period of his citations of
the expenses of carrying on the State
government against which he is now
inveighing.
Did Mr.. Clement, as a legislator,
undertake in any way to remedy
the evils of which he is now COM
planning? Did he present any meas.
ure for consolidating the boards and
commissioners which he now declares
are so constituted as to enable Repub-
leans to plumber the treasury, to load
| themselves up with its funds for
manipulating party politics? Did he
make any move toward the creation
| of board of public works--which he
now suggests-to have charge of pur.
chasing supplies? Did he institute
any measure for reforming the abuses
or which he is now indicting his
former party associates? Or did he
devote his time and all his mighty
equipment for craftsmanship to the
one purpose of securing the enactment
of measure that would insure the
practically free sale of Intoxicating
liquors in this State? To laying the
plans for his present raid on the gov.
ernorship?
Clement was intrusted with the
duty and responsibility of initiating
and carrying on to final enactment laws
which should benefit the State, re-
forming its administration, reducing
its cost and abating taxation. Moth
ing of this he did. He didn't even
suggest to the superintendent of the
house of correction in his own city,
that he buy hams in quantities to in
sure the wholesale price. No man ever
heard of his doing anything in the Leg
islature except to insure the freer sale
of rum-if not absolute free sale-and
thereby add to the cost of maintain
ing the State government, even after
the price of licenses had been added
to its revenues Now he has the
effrontery to come, to the PEOPLE and
ask them to make him Governor that
he may reform the government. He
lacks the qualifying Scriptural fidel-
ity to the few things that should make
him ruler over many things, and the
consequences will be disastrous 10 him
when the day of reckoning with his
lord, the people, comes.

The editorial article on Clement
bolt, from the Essex County Herald,
reprinted on this page, is by Gov
Dale, the leading editorial writer for
the Herald. Written in view of the
probable action of the Clement CON
vention, and read after the convention
has met and acted, the clear minded
and forceful writer is seen to have
spoken with the prophets provision.
No so complete general reply to
Clements convention speech, in the
matter of his charge of bribery, can
be made after the convention, with
the text of the bolter's outburst before
the reviewer. Gov. Dale does not hes
itate to call things by their right
name. He was staunch supporter of
Proctor in the canvass for the nomina-
ton. His course in the emergency
now confronting the Republican party
of the State is in wholesome contrast
with the coppery words and conduct
Of certain of the journals and individ-
uals formerly supporting Proctor.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

The staunch adherence of President
Roosevelt to the principles of civil re-
form has heretofore been regarded by
certain politicians as weakness rather
than as a source of strength in nation
al politics, but apparently that view
is losing ground for the Republican

dents civil service record a leading
place in the Republican handbook.
This, by no means, is an empty hon.
or, and this country is proud to quote

welt while he was making his record
in the State of New York.

in civil reform was the order issued
by the civil service commissioner

provide for the establishment of eX-

last mentioned recommendation of the
President is to be rigidly followed by

is reason to believe that the members
of Congress will be freed from one OF

THE BOLTING CONVENTION.

The meeting in BURLINGTON yester-
day was gathering of some Republi-
cans and some Democrats-pretty near
ly half and half-coming for the most
part from Rutland county, TO turn a
galvanic current into the corpse of
P. w. Clements candidacy for the
office of Governor of the State
That candidacy persisted at Mont.

some three weeks. The physicians in

current of life was still at fever heat,

vide the fuel to keep the fire burning.
So Clements candidature cooled, and
after long deliberation artificial
means were employed to give it the
semblance of life. The operation was
performed on Wednesday, by the doc
tors of two hitherto antagonistic poll
tical schools, and Mr.. Clement stalks
forth again, in an electrically rejuven-
ated candidature for Governor of Yer.
mont. The business of true Republi-
cans for the next few weeks will be
to pull the wires out of this cadaver,
to show the people its true character,
put it under ground and, in Percy S

/ while it sinks without one arm

The country blooms-a garden and a

When, by the action of the Demo.

be the duty of the Republican candi
date and the party spokesman to take
the field against the coalition that
will then be fully organized against
