Fletcher D. Proctor.

Fletcher Proctor is a typical Ver-
monter in the best sense He is the
most representative young man of the
entire state who could be chosen as
candidate for governor. References
to him as the son of his father and the
heir apparent will arouse only resent
ment among men of fairness and can
dor. Born fortuitously he may have
been, but he has proved himself He
graduated from Amherst College in
1882, but in the vacations of his High
school and college days his time was
not spent in idleness or frivolity He
was preparing himself strenuously for
the duties of an active business life
and for good citizenship, polishing
marble in the most lowly position in
the mills at Proctor at one time, at
another teaching district schools in
Pittsford or Chttenden. After the col
lege days and after he had become a
good marble polsher he was advanced
to the machine shop. and thence
through the various positions until he
was the actual head of the business
which his father founded How well
he has managed the greatest single
industry in Vermont the past thirteen
years is a matter of general knowl-
edge. Although the guiding genius of
a concern employing at the present
time 5000 hands, he has found time to
keep in touch with all phases of life,
and at Al few men have had such a
varied and useful experience in public
affairs. AS selectman of the old town
OF Rutland, as selectman of Proctor. as
a member of the school board the past
nineteen years, as road commissioner,
and military affairs, as a member of
the House in 1890 and of the Senate
in 1892, and as speaker Of the House
in 1900. he has had the best training
and experience possible before taking
up the duties of chief executive of the
state.
Let's choose Vermonter, let's
choose a young man, let's choose a
of unblemished character,
who in business and public life not
only commands success but deserves
it, let's choose the man most in touch
with Vermont life most identified with
the states interests. who would bring
TO the chief executives office the best
possible experience and training. Let's
honor the state and honor one OF her
most worthy sons. Let's, nominate
Fletcher d. Proctor as the next candi-
date for governor.

Mr.. Proctor's Candidacy.

Fletcher ID. Proctor is placed before
the people of Vermont as a candidate
for the governorship as a Vermonter-
as a genuine product of the Vermont
soil, as a man intimately identified
with his native environment. But be
yond this. and far more than this, his
friends present his candidacy as pro-
test against campaign methods which
have become a reproach TO the state
In its editorial on this question two
weeks ago. The Phoenix referred in
plain terms to methods which are no
less disgrace because they have be-
come so common as to be taken almost
as a matter of course It has become
an open question whether the voice of
the plain people. uninfiuenced and un-
worked, has anything to do with the
choice of candidates 1t has almost
become a question whether any man
is his own free agent. This year the
methods used and the money spent
out Herod Herod. and halt has been
called.
II Fletcher Proctor cannot be nom-
mated for governor of Vermont with
ont the employment of hired retainers,
without the use of money to FIX"
towns and delegates. and without plac-
ing various sums here and there to
pay expenses" or "to be used as
needed; If he cannot secure newspa-
per support with consideration" If
he cannot carry the city of Burlington
without opening "clubs" to catch the
floating vote; if he cannot gain sup
port as the free and spontaneous act
of the people, he will suffer defeat.
This is exactly what his candidacy
means This is the platform on which
he is put before the people of Yer
mont. If you like this platform, and
this kind of campaign methods, sup
port him.

Senators who have convictions, and
who act accordingly, regardless of the
crack of the party whip.
very large percentage of the pro-
posed subsidy, under the conditions
existing today, would go to a steam
ship line which has already received
large aid from the United States gov
ernment. Only American built ships,
oficered by American citizens, can
secure the postal subsidies, but any
ships, built in the United States or
| abroad, which can secure American
registry, come within reach of the gen.
| eral subsidy. BY gaining American
registry the steamship syndicate or
ganized by the ubiquitous J. p Nor
gan could soon have scores of steam
the general subsidy.
Senator Vest was right when he said
that there has never been in the his
tory of the United States a more thor
oughly protected or a more prosperous
interest than that of the American
shipyards today" Everybody knows
that the shipyards on both the Allan
tic and Pacific coasts are hives of in
dustry, and that foreign nations, no
tably Russia and Japan, have come to
America to have their warships built.
England has not built up her mer-
chant marine by subsidies. She pays
postal subsidies to the steamships car
rying her mails, but England domi-
mates the carrying trade of the world
with her iron tramps which never re-
ceived a cent in subsidies.
The subject is too extended to admit
of general discussion here, but our
American merchant marine would per-
haps be built up as much by some up.
to-date navigation laws as by subsi-
dies, and the objection of taking money
from the public till to throw to rich
shipowners could not then be raised
1t is strange, that with all the discus
sion in public prints and on the floor
of Congress in regard to ship subsi-
dies, so little has been said in regard
to the need of changes in the naviga-
tion laws.
The Phoenix congratulates Senators
Proctor and Dillingham; on their inde-
pendent stand. 1t believes they were
right, and it believes they believed
they were right. If the Republican
party wishes to go into the next cam
paign loaded with an old man of the
sea it will find itself in that predica-
ment If the House concurs in the ac-
tion of the Senate.

What is the Matter with Vermont ~

What is the Matter with Vermont"
What is the matter with Vermont ?"
was the cry of the Boston Journal of
Wednesday, in headlines introducing
a long editorial which scathingly con-
demned Senators Proctor and Dilling-
ham for their action in voting against
the ship subsidy bill. Vermont was
pictured as taking her stand with Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Arkansas. The
Journal might have said with equal
truth that Vermont took her stand
with Iowa and Wisconsin, and Sena-
tors Allison and Dolliver, Spooner and
Quarles have never been classed ex-
actly as renegades. The Journal says:
This Republican bill aims to give
American ship owners just such pro-
lection as Senator Proctor enjoys in
his marble quarries-enough to offset
the difference between American and
foreign wages-and also to offset for
eign subsidies" There is a striking
difference between protection and sub
sidy. Subsidy is more analogous to
bounty.
The matter with Vermont, in the
present instance cited by the Journal,
is that she has two United States

Whom the Swashbuckler loveth He
Chasteneth.

Swashbuckler Ropes, in the infini-
tude of his wisdom, has settled the
whole question of the Vermont gov
ernorship over and over again the past
week. The volcano of his conceit has
outdone even itself in the violence Of
its eruption. Those unfortunates who,
in ignorant and misguided zeal, have
thought and mildly suggested that it
might be good thing to have a Ver-
monter for governor this year, have
been buried under tons of seismic
debris. These volcanic chunks bear
such labels of crushing sarcasm as:
"A Dynasty of Native Born Yer
monters."
The New Divine Right of Kings to
Rule"
Incarnation Pizen."
"A Prince of the Royal Line"
The Sceptre Shall Pass Only to
Hereditary Sovereigns in the Line of
Native Born Vermonters."

Right on top of all is piled the big
gest chunk of ala list of Vermont
governors showing that ten were born
in Connecticut, eight in Massachu-
setts, three in New Hampshire, one in
New Jersey, one in New York, and one
in Canada. (Time, one would say, af-
ter this, that we had a governor who
was born in Vermont)
To the Montpelier Swashbuckler and
Cudgel Whacker, the state of ver-
mont doubtless looks after this erup-
tion like section of the Dakota Bad
Lands 1t is indeed a dubious situa-
tion for the victims. But after they
have picked their way through the
debris, one little ray of sunlight
streams down. 1t doesn't make any
difference from the point of view of
the Swashbuckler, to be sure, but it
affords little balm to the wounded to
discover that these hurtling chunks of
fact are not facts at all so far as they
apply to the present situation. This
is the only weak point (for the vol
cano) in the volcanoes upheaval. For
the first fifty years of Vermont's his
tory as a state her governors had to
be born somewhere. There hadn't
been time enough for them all to be
born in Vermont and this was prob
ably why Thomas Chittenden was
born in Connecticut, Moses Robinson
in Massachusetts, and Isaac Tichenor
in New Jersey.
Here, to speak seriously, is the point
of the whole matter. The entire list
OF foreign born Vermonters' so os-
tentatiously paraded from Chittenden,
Robinson and Tichenor, down to
Frederick Holbrook Roswell Farm
ham, Levi X. Fuller and Josiah Grout,
were and are men who came to Yer
mont as bona fide citizens to cast in
their lot with her people for better,
for worse, to earn their living here
do their work here, die here, and be
buried here. They were in no sense
birds OF passage, and not one of them
was ever suspected Of scheming to ac-
quire and use the opportunities of q
small state for his own personal ad-
vancement. Just in the same way are
these things true of that long list of
Vermonters who have gone to other
states, settled there, identified them
selves with their interests. and been
