A SMALL STRAW.

The Mccullough papers are enjoy |
ing a spasm over Mr.. Proctor's reply |
to j. S. Stiles of West Derby. They
say that Proctor lodges the question
'iust as Mccullough did," and there
fore is not entitled to the nomination.
They want to put Proctor in position
of uncertainty on a question he had
already answered as clearly as a man
could, when, in short letter, he de-
clared himself now and for all time to
be staunch supporter of the present
prohibitory law.
No one has dared charge Mr.. Proctor
with hypocrisy or deceit, except SO
far as the inference of these papers
may, and any paper that presumes to
impute dishonesty to a man of
Fletcher D. Proctor's sterling charac
ter is below the dignity of the Ver-
mont press.
The Proctor organs have not placed
against Mccullough the unfair charges
which are now thrown out against
Proctor by his opponents. They said
Mccullough did not state his position,
and he did not, except to say that he
was in the hands of the legislature
and that the prohibitory policy had
remained with the state for half
century, and he presumed it would
survive the next session. Does this
show whether or not he fauors and is
willing to support the present law?
Then the Mccullough papers and the
Anti Saloon League say that he
(McCuliough) is "neutral.' Do the

i'Hston, with free cigars and free beer,

FOR STATE AUDITOR,
HORACE F. GRAHAM,

The following sketch is written by
o. s. Annis, of the Orleans County
Bar.
If Horace F. Graham should be
elected state auditor, it would bring
to that Office not merely man of
mature Judgment and wide experience
in the practical and business affairs of
life; but as we'll a lawyer, sound and
alert, with ready grasp and compre-
hension of the intricate and important
work before him.
He is forty years of age, and was
educated in the common schools and
at Craftsbury academy, after which
he fitted for college with Mr.. Dakin at
st. Johnsbury and then graduated at
Columbia college from the Schools OF
Political Science and Law in the class
of 1888, and was admitted to the Yer
mont Bar in October of the same year
Since his admission he has been en-
gagged in the active practice of his
profession at Craftsbury. AS 6
counsellor, trier of cases, in all the
varied duties of a general practitioner
he has always acquitted himself with
marked credit and success, evi,
dencing his breadth and comprehen'
sion by the facility with which he has
ably disposed of difficult and per
picking matters.
And such qualifications might be ex
pected from such lineage, for on hi
fathers side his ancestry traces bacl
to 1915, when they emigrated from
Dorsetshire, England, to Greenwich
Conn, and he is descended on hi
mothers side from the Stuart, Broc
and Harvey families who came fror
Scotland and settled in Barnet an
Peacham. His mother, Lucy Fair
