How Much Time Has He Spent in
Vermont?
[St. Adams Messenger

We have been treated to lengthy and
detailed arguments intended to prove that
General Mccullough is a bona fide Yer
monter. We have been told how much
he loves the Green Mountain state. Now
1t would be Of interest to learn how
much time he passes In this Vermont that
he loves well. Take the four years
since he has been an avowed aspirant for
the governorship for instance: Let some
newspaper champion tell us how much
of that time has been passed in Vermont
and what he was doing here. When we
choose a man for governor. a man who
is to administer the affairs OF the state
as they may demand attention from day
to day. we naturally look for a man who
will at least do a little better than spend
his summers here We do sincerely de-
sire to elevate the governorship. but we
can hardly be justified In entrustng its
responsibilities to a man who will look
after our interests from military obser-
walton balloon.

vermonters viii Stand by Proctor.
Newport Express & Standard

Vermonters will stand by Fletcher D.
Proctor. He did not force himself into
this canvass. He has not been froward
or imprudent. or out of place. He is
the same resolute, energetic, painstak-
ing Vermonter. the same man Of unblem-
ished character and whose whole life has
been identified with the interests of the
state. as he has always been. Vermont
ers will stand by him. The people OF
Orleans county stand by him. They have
known of his industry. sobriety. and con-
spicuous merit from n boy up. They
know he is worthy of the position to
which he aspires. They have known of
his father before him. They know the
son Is of good stock They know of all
conditions of the case, and will. as we
honestly believe give him their hearty
support.

The Man for the Hour.
Windsor Journal

Notwithstanding the efforts of General
McCullough's partisans to demonstrate
that the so-called Bennington candidate
for governor is a Vermonter, otherwise
than possibly in name the plain, simple
fact, that he is not, stands out as sharply
defined, as the nose and chin of old Mans
field, or the lines of elevation that give
the name to Cancels Hump. He may
have had voting residence In Benning-
ton any number of years, but the undis-
puted fact remains that during the great
er portion of those years his business In
terests, and their ramfcations. touched
Vermont only incidentally. His rela-
tons in the main with the state have
been those of the man, seeking a tenn
porary abode for the rest from the cares
and turmoil of business life With ad-
vancing years, the periods of rest and
recreation may have become more fire.
quent and more extended. But at no
time in his career, since returning east
from the Pacific coast, has he lost his
identity as the New York man of affairs.
Vermonters are. and should be, right
fully possessed of a state pride. The
great mass of the people of the state do,
and should, believe that the highest
honors at their command are not to be
bestowed upon those. who cannot read
their title clear TO an unequivocal recog-
milton at home and abroad as actual resi-
dents of the Green Mountain state. They
do. and should. believe that the stirring
and wide-awake, thorough going every
day-in-the-year Vermonter, and one
everywhere recognized as such. is justly
entitled before all others to preferment at
their hands They do. and should, be-
lleve that the actual Vermonter, in the
vigorous prime of manhood. is a better.
stronger representative, than any other
can be. of the progressive forces work
ing for the greater development of a
greater Vermont. For these reasons has
come the call from the people of Yer
mont for the candidacy for the govern
orship of the state of one like Fletcher
Proctor, whose identity as a Vermonter
can not be questioned
