THE GOVERNOR CANVASS.

So far as we have observed, Gen.
McCullough's nomination is being
urged principally upon the eminent
qualifications of the man. His friends
contend that he is one of the ablest,
most public spirited and best known
men in the State and that Vermont
would be honored by the choice of
Governor of such eminent ability.
Further than this it is argued that
Bennington county has not had
Governor for many decades and the
demands of the county are entitled to
some recognition. 1t is also argued
that Vermont cannot afford to boycott
a man of unquestionable ability sim
ply because he was so unfortunate
as to have been born in some other
State. Several reasons are enumerat-
ed why Mr.. Proctor should not be Sc
lected. 1t is charged that he broke
faith with Gen. Mccullough in enter
ing the contest and it is pointed out
that Vermont is and has been doing
about the fair thing by the Proctor
family and that the young Mr.. Proc
tor could have afforded to keep out of
this contest, especially in view of his
repeated statements to the effect that
he would not be candidate.
Fletcher Proctor will of course have
the backing of his father, Senator
Redfield Proctor, in addition to the
numerous friends made during the ses-
sion of the last Legislature and many
other enthusiastic admirers. And it
is conceded that the Proctor influence
is the strongest of any political organ
ization ever built up in the State.
Gen. Mccullough will have the
spontaneous and enthusiastic support
of host of friends who urged him to
enter the canvass from every county
and town in the State and the Proc
tors will find III Mccullough man
well worthy of their steel. 1t GER
tainly looks as though Gen. McCul-
Tough was the logical candidate of
the Republican party and if the only
thing to be said against him is that he
was not born in Vermont, there is
certainly no good reason why he
should not be nominated whether the
Proctors approve of it or not. Deer

GAS EXPLOSION.

Dayton, Tenn, Apr. Late Mon
day afternoon an explosion of gas in
the Nelson mine Of the Dayton Coal
and Iron Company, ignited the dry
coal dust in the mine and caused a
terrific explosion. Seventy five men
were in the mine. Twenty-Five men
are known to be dead Ten bodies
have been recovered and twelve bod
les, it is reported, are yet i'll the
mine.
w. T. Head brother of James Head,
superintendent of the mine was fatal
ly injured There are workmen
known as "firemen' who go through
the mine after the miners are out and
set off the blasts The two " firemen"
who it is supposed caused the fire
were killed by it, They shot the
blasts before all the miners had got
ten out of the mine. 1t is supposed
that one of the fuses was defective
and resulted in what is known as
"the blown blast. The flame shoot
ing out from the blast ignited the
gas which in turn ignited the accu-
mutation of dry coal dust in the mine.

EASY TO EXPLAIN.

Saws one of the trio of down the road
godfathers: I'm all that has APP
peared we find not one word in depre-
citation of Fletcher d. Proctor as a man
highly qualified for the office Of Gov
ernor of Vermont This, from his OPP
ponents, speaks far more eloquently
for him that can we, his supporter. "
This is true, but it is because the
opponents have better manners than
the journalistic victims of the dark
lantern State convention recently held
in the city Of New York. While the
dupes of the League have been sour
rilously assaulting Webb and McCul-
Tough, likening two honorable, high
minded men-one for a generation,
the other for a decade a legal and
deeply interested resident of the State
to "Gas Man Addicks of Delaware
and Copper King Clark of Montana, "
denouncing them as New York mil
lionaires, " railroad magnates, " seek
ing by sheer and innuendo to discredit
and disgrace them before their fellow
citizens of Vermont, no denial has
been made of Fletcher Proctor's quail
fications for the Office of Governor.
He has been. generally treated with
respect and decorum.
Under all the circumstances recited
and others that might be enumerated,
representative citizens in all parts of
the State feel that the time for Fetch
er Proctor's candidacy has not yet
come, ought never to have been pro-
jected into this canvass, and is with
out reason or justification. And thus
it happens that him with whom they
have had pleasant personal relations,
whom they have esteemed, and whom
in the fulness of time they would
have gladly made Governor of Yer.
mont, they are now compelled to OPP
pose and do their utmost to assign hin
to his proper place in the procession
of Chief Executives. They love moi
Proctor less but fair play and the
eternal fitness Of things more

BIG FIRE.

Guthrie, Oklahoma, Mch. 31.-Guth-
RE was visited on Sunday by $780, =
600 fire and as result the State CAPT
tai printing plant, the Hotel Capitol,
the st. James Hotel, the Cammack
livery barn and the Richey general
merchandise store are in ruins.
Everything in the State Capitol
plant was destroyed, including two
presses, machines of every kind, limo
type machines, electric and steam
heating systems, libraries and large
stock of supplies. Frank H. Greer,
the owner, states that the total loss
is $3.50, 600. Not a thing but the mail
ing list of the papers was saved. The
loss in the other buildings will make
the entire loss to the town fully $3.50,
000
The fire started at noon in the base
ment of the State Capitol plant and
was soon roaring up the elevator
shafts A high wind was blowing and
it was impossible to check the flames.
Assistance was asked of Oklahoma
City, Perry, Kingfsher, and other
surrounding cities, but the high wind
did the work before help could arrive.
Work will commence at once on the
construction of new buildings.

FOR MCCULLOUGH

After reviewing the events, Incl
dents and developments of the canvass
for the governorship the Woodstock
Standard, which had been holding it's
fire, comes out for Mccullough, it's
article concluding thus:
The later developments, however,
show quite proportion of voters who
feel that in view of Mr.. Proctor s
earlier position and the circumstances
of the campaign, the Proctor candi-
dacy was i'll timed. The Standard, I'M
der most conditions, would be warm
supporter of Fletcher ID. Proctor S
candidacy for the Office under consid-
Grafton. But here is Gen. McCul-
Tough, high minded gentleman of
good reputation as wide as the coun-
try, man of unusual mental abilities,
man of affairs, and of experience
which qualify him to fill the office of
Governor with exceptional ability
and credit. He has more than attained
his majority as Vermonter, and is
entitled to vote and to hold Office here
His home interests are here, even
though he is railroad man, and a
great railroad system cannot be built
in ten acre lot. Gen. Mccullough
would probably never again be can
didate for the governorsip If defeated
now Hon. Fletcher ID. Proctor will,
in all probability, be Governor of
Vermont some time. Under the cir
cumstances the Standard favors the
candidacy of Gen. Mccullough in this
campaign, and believes that in so do.

1t is something new in Vermont s
political history when few self
stituted dictators meet in secret con-
clave in New York's most aristocratic
hotel and decide that a candidate fer
the governorship must withdraw his
name, and substitute enter the field.
Will the voters of the State submit to
such dictation and fall into line for
this rings candidate? We believe
they will not. If Fletcher d. Proctor
was willing to strive for the prize
why did he not announce it at the
opening of the campaign and not wait
for his name to be sprung upon the
public under such circumstances p

ing it reflects the sentiments of a
large majority of it's constituents.

Paralysis has smitten the develop
ment of Fletcher d. Proctor's candi-
dacy, but several papers, since the an
nouncement of Speaker Proctor's en-
try into the canvass have proclaimed
their purpose to support Gen. Nc
Coullough. Among these which are
demanding fair play in politics and
during the week have declared for the
Bennington candidate are the News
and Citizen, Hyde Park, the Stand
ard, Woodstock, the Sitter, London

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1902-04-02

The matter of selecting a Governor
to serve Vermont for the coming GU
bernatorial term is now being forcibly
brought to the attention of the people
and will be decided by the voters, in
caucus, probably early in June. Shirk-
ing no responsibility, either as a citi-
zen or publisher, the editorial col
umns of the Sitter will be made to
give an earnest and hearty support to
Bennington county's candidate, Gen.
j. G. Mccullough, and will not be
swerved from this purpose by the in
lection of any new candidate into the
field be they many or few, believing
that he is as big, broad and brainy a
man as has aspired to the office in
many years Londonderry Sitter.

Mail Orders Must Be Quick.
IN CONGRESS.

Washington, April During the
entire session of the Senate on Mon
day the oleomargarine bill was under
consideration. Three speeches were
delivered, two i'll support of the meas
ure and one against it. Mr.. Simmons
of North Carolina made cogent and
extended argument in opposition to
the bill. This was his maiden speech
in the Senate and he was cordially
congratulated at its conclusion.
Mr.. Proctor of Vermont, who is in
charge of the bill, answered all in.
quiry of Mr., Clark of Wyoming by
saying that it was his purpose to &C
cept the amendment offered by Mr..
Harris of Kansas, placing tax of ten
cents pound on adulterated butter
and regulating the manufacture and
sale of renovated and process butter.
Mr. Dillingham;, of Vermont, in
support of the measure, insisted that
oleomargarine and all other food prod.
ucts ought to be sold for what they
actually were. When an article was
placed on the market in false guise,
he contended, the American people
had a right to demand legislation
which would inspect itself The pur-
pose of the pending measure was to
afford the people that protection. Mr..
Dillingham; arraigned the manufac-
turer of oleomargarine and butterine,
with particular severity for the fraud,
which, he said, they committed upon
the public. He declared that the
American people were getting tired of
being humbugged in their food prod
ucts and were demanding the enact
ment of pure food legislation
The House began consideration of
the sundry civil appropriation bill,
completing the general debate before
the close of the session. Mr.. Can
non, chairman of the appropriation
committee, who was in charge of the
measure, in a brief preliminary state.
ment, explained that the bill carried
81, 932, S95, being $12, 455, 542 less than
the estimates and $12, 572, 0l2 less than
the current law. In the course of his
Mr.. Cannon called attention
to the gratifying fact that the taxes
collected were being reduced Last

and this year $40, 900, coo
were to be removed, making a total
