Clement Hoist by His Own Pctard.

Those who are intimately acquainted
with the paramount points in the record
Of Percrval W. Clement know that lie is
one of the last men in the world to pose
as reformer; as a friend of the taxpayer;
as champion of the interests of the la
boring man; as an enforcer of law and as
an exponent of the highest moral stand
ards in politics and in government.
lie began his campaign in spirit Of
comedy and many people went to hear his
coon quartette. now no longer heard alos
to laugh at his stories and to enjoy what
was rightly regarded as an entertainment
somewhat out of the ordinary run. As
soon as Clement himself began TO take his
candidacy seriously, the method of cam
paign was entirely changed. Then began
a season of dirty politics. His organ pub
Franklin county member Of the State re-
publican committee had taken whskey 10
a certain man to be used in support Of Mr.
Proctor's candidacy. Mr.. Deal demanded
retraction Of the charge. which after
much haggling was made. The Rutland
Herald was also forced to publish an am
davit from the man whose name was at
tachod to the original affidavit showing
that Mr. Deal had not been near his place
that the man who secured the affidavit
prepared a statement and read the same tC
him and paid him for signing it. lie also
said that some of the statements con.
tanned therein as published he did not re
member hearing read.
1t now appears from numerous affidavit.
that the course pursued in connection will

Not only this but there are Clement mel
who are to-day boasting of the amount o
money they will have to spend In Burling

The Mining Securities Co. has W ell
earned reputation among investors for
handling nothing but high grade PROPOSE
tons Consequently, when we offer
shares in a company, and give these
shares our endorsement, the public has
good reason to feel that it can invest in
the stock with a feeling OF absolute Sc
curity and safety.
We do not hesitate to say that in our
judgment stock in the LARDEAU
MINES, LIMITED, offers a most mag
nihcent opportunity for investment.
There is every reason to believe that
the LARDEAU MINES will pay
profit OF 40 per cent. PER YEAR with
in a short time, and will continue to yield
such profits for more than lifetime
These are stupendous figures, but VIC
believe them to be absolutely conserva-
tive. Our reasons arc based on these

Another Clement Dodge.

The FREE PRESS has received from p.
w. Clement proposition 10 show the
books of the Local option League and his
books of account to a commission of three
men, provided General Mccullough will
submit his books to the same commission,
the commission to determine whether or
not money has been spent by either Candi-
date in a wrong or corrupt manner.
This is an excellent illustration Of the
plausible way in which Mr.. Clement Is
conducting his campaign. A little thought
will show that Mr. Clement is perfectly
safe in making this offer, and that Gen
eral Mccullough would be perfectly safe
in accepting the proposition.
The submission of Mr.. Clements books
to n committee az proposed by him would
prove absolutely nothing as regards the
corrupt use OF money. We do not sup
pose for minute that Mr.. Clement is foo
enough to furnish evidence of his own i'm
proper use of money for campaign pur-
poses by signing checks for II corruption
fund If he has done SO, he Is not as bright
man ms lie has been supposed to be.

convention Mr. Clement found 1t expedient
cans who adopted the referendum plank
with being insincerc. lie wanted to run as
a boiling candidate and he must have some
plausible excuse. So he charged insnceri-
~. But he forgot that he had consented
to head a bolt on the very Afternoon of that
convention before any county convention
had had time to consider the referendum.
Who was the original boltor and who the
arch representative of insincerity in that
case?
Mr.. Clements next move was to make
charges against the republican state gov
eminent since 1883. He brought his ar
raienmcnt UP to the very present. and
then gave the lie to his own charges by
endorsing the nomination of the men on
the State republican ticket. who have 70
do with the finances, the auditor, and trca-
euror. RE bolted merely the nominations
for governor and lieutenant governor who
have practically nothing to do with finance
or legislation, since the Legislature can
pass any measure over the governor S
y
over no reason has yet been given why the
lieutenant governorship nomination was
boltcd
1t has also been shown that Clement iG-
nores the fact that the cost of caring for
the insane was borne by the towns up to
1888 whereas at the present time the burden
has been transferred to the state and SO
with various other State items in the bud
get. complete disproval Of Clements IL
nancial showing appears elsewhere but lit
tie things like facts and figures Of this kind
constitute 10 obstacle for Mr.. clement. lie
is proof against any fact or figure that
does not help to promote his candidacy.
Mr.. Clements organ asserts that he is
not fighting the Republican party yet the
bolter is doing everything possible to dis
credit the hundreds Of republicans who
were delegates to the State convention and
voted for the referendum. he is promoting
the candidacy of democrats in various
counties against republicans. Mr.. Clement
is not fighting democrats. Whom Is he
fighting. If not republicans?
1t becomes evident that Clements candi-
dacy has been based upon insncerity and
misrepresentation and the use of dirty pol
itics from the very outset. and he will find
that the people of Vermont are not TO be

bratcd Lardcau mining division of West
Kootenay. British Columbia. The prop
erty owned by this company consists of
three full claims, embracing an extent OF
1856 acres-mineral claims in British Co.
lumbia are I,5ooxI,5oo feet-equal to 81
acres each in extent Three strong, par
alcl ore veins run through this prop
erty from end to end, distance of $500
feet. Ii placed end to end this would
give US 1880 feet, equal to a continuous
ore body over two and half miles in
length. The values are in gold. silver
copper and lead, and run from $25.6o to
$3.50 per ton of 1000 pounds These
