authorship is not difficult TO place
The burden of this newspaper ''round-
robin" was a series OF questions pro-
pounded to Fletcher ID. Proctor in
which he was asked to account in full
for his time and actions and those OF
the men and newspapers that are
prominent in his support since away
back last fall The purpose was to
draw public attention again TO the ex-
ploded myth of "Waldorf-Astoria"
deal between Messrs. Proctor and
Webb, which has been denied by both
gentlemen already and really amounts
TO nothing anyway. The Mccullough
people are harping on this string in
the hope of distraeting attention from
the main issues, where they are weak.
Gen. McCullough's supporters are
taking some comfort from the fact
that Superintendent Morrow of the
Anti-Saloon League has pronounced
both Proctor and Mccullough safe
on the liquor issue. But they are
careful to smother what Mr.. Morrow
actually said as to the respective posi-
tons of the two men. Here it is
I'VE admire the stand of Mr.. Proc
tor and his outspoken and frank eX-
preston of his attitude on the temper
ance question and what may be
expected of him, and we feel sure that
the state OF Vermont would never
regret her action if Mr.. Proctor should
be her next governor. McCullough's
letter is not what we would wish it I
might have been, but our common
enemy is Percival w. Clement with /
his high license and local option |
principles, as expressed in his letter /
his candidacy, and as also
known to the state prior to the an |
nouncement in that letter.
Then, on the principle, we suppose,

bread, Mr.. Morrow says that it will

Just a Word From Wlndham.

Mr.. EDITOR On reading the Bel.
lows Falls Times, one would naturally
infer that we were all Mccullough
supporters down here, and, by the
way, / think they have made quite a
close canvass here and a number have
practically pledged themselves.
However, there are quite a number
here who believe in having the Office
seek the man, rather than the man
picking out the office and using every
power known to politicians in New
York and the West to reach fame and
power.
Now we want a man for our next
governor OF unquestionable ability
one who is thoroughly a Vermonter in
every sense of the word; one who
places the interests of the state above
his own personal ambitions also one
who is thoroughly in touch with Yer
monts interests by having been con-
stantly associated with her people
nearly all his life instead of spending
his vacations here.
However, if Mccullough gets into
the governors chair Bellows Falls ex-
poets to furnish the next governor for
New Hampshire, because quite a num-
Der own cottages at Lake Sunapee and
will probably transfer their residence
to New Hampshire for this purpose, if
Vermont establishes the precedent
Also we want a man whom every
body knows how he stands on the tenn
perance question.
Finally, we want Fletcher d. Proc
tor for governor, not because we have
been asked to support him-for neither
Proctor nor any OF his supporters have
me in this respect-but
because we know he will fill the execu-
tive chair for the best interests OF the
people. Very Respectfully.
F. +. NEWELL.

tori

DR.. L. A. RUssLow,
Randolph, Vt.
My DEAR SR:-In reply to your
letter OF the 10th inst, | am perfectly
willing TO state 10 you frankly my po-
sition in respect to the prohibitory
law.
! am and always have been in favor
of it, and | have always so voted when
in the Legislature.
| believe that il is better suited TO
promote the welfare and sobriety of
our state than any scheme of license.
Yours very truly,
FLETCHER ID. PROCTOR.
Doesn't read much like the other
one, does it 1t is clear and to the
point. Mr.. Proctor lives in what is
a license locality, and
among his supporters were many who.
believe in local option. There was
the same excuse Tor his lodging as for
but he didn't. He went
on record, as he always has, for the
principle of prohibition. Whatever
.he effect on his chances in this con-
test, he would stand to his colors.
And for his honest utterance he de-
serves and will receive the support Of
thousands who like a man with strong
convictions and a willingness to let
hem be known Of men when il is
proper that they should be known.
These two letters are important not
20 much for the subject handled as for
he study in character that they afford. |
IcCullough's is weak and timorous, |
disclosing desire to shirk response
,ility for fear OF the consequences to
lis personal ambitions, Proctors is
pen and manly, evidencing a strength !
nd spirit such as Vermonters delight |
0 see in their public men. If there |

olutely in favor OF Fletcher d. Proc

MoCullounhIs PosltIon.

What is General McCullough's rea
position on the liquor question
His letter tells us nothing, except thai
he wants 10 be Governor, and wants
the votes necessary TO win. His
record in the legislature tells u,
nothing. We are therefore compelled
to discover his attitude, if we would
know what it is. from other circumstan
ces. Where do his friends stand The
Bennington Reformer, one ofthe strong
Mccullough papers, and one which is
a mouth-piece of the Mccullough
managers, says Bloomington county
feels friendly toward Mr.. Clement
and is strongly in favor of a local
option law If the county had no
candidate OF its own it would UNI
doubtedly support Mr.. Clement in
preference to Mr.. Proctor In
other words, as between Proctor, who
stands squarely for prohibition, and
Clement, who is the exponent of IL
cense, Mccullough and his friends
favor the latter, for certainly Benning-
ton county could not be said 10 favor
Nh. Clement unless Mccullough does
They are at heart license men, they
say, but they want the votes of pro-
hibtionists for Mccullough because
without them they cannot hope to win.
