The Last Word.

By the time next weeks paper is read
the caucuses for the state convention VIII
have been held, and as far as the citizens
are concerned the gubernatotlal contest
will be ended. The real contest will come
at the state convention and threc-corn-
cred fight is assured. When the contest
opened the CALIFORNIAN announced that
it would support Fletcher D. Proctor
and we have never before supported a
candidate for governor with greater
pride and satisfaction. He is loyal son
of Vermont wholly identified with Yer
mont interests. He is not allied to any
ring or clique of politicians who had
years before been pledged to his support.
He is thoroughly conversant with the at
fairs Of state and his political opponents
admit he made one of the best speakers
the house ever had, He is a young man
that fttingly represents the young blood
of the state, yet old enough to command
the respect and support OF many OF the
Oldest men in his party. He stands
boldly and squarely for the defence OF the
prohbitory law and is the only candi-
date that does.
During the campaign now drawing to
a close he has been constantly attacked
bv his enemies and Others who were his
supposed friends. All the false charges
brought against him have been promptly
swept away and he has ably defended
himself against the most contemplate
political tactics ever seen outside New
York city. The average Vermonter be
lieves in fair play and admires man
that has convictions OF his own. Such a
man is Mr. Proctor and the voters know
where to find him on state and local
issues. If the voters of Vermont like
this kind OF a man for a leader they have
