Percival w. Clement succeeded in
being nominated for Governor at his
convention in Burlington on Wednes-
day, as the pure representative OF
high license and local option. He
declares that he accepts the nomina-
ton in response to a great popular
demand The trouble with this
draft" of Clements is the same as
was with Procter's "draft, 1T is
entirely forced. There were some
$50 delegates from about the State
in attendance at the Burlington con-
vention Wednesday. 1t is charged
that large number, if not all OF
these, had their expenses paid by
Clement or his managers. We don t
know how far this is true, but it is
evident that the caucuses which chose
delegates and the so called mass
meetings, which have undertaken to
push the movement have all been in
spired from Rutland. 1t looks too
much as though it were a personal
ambition of Mr.. Clement rather than
the strength of the principle he repre-
sents, which has brought all this

Lamoille County Democrats hold
their convention at Hyde Park next

of fusing with the Clement men and
putting up a mongrel county ticket,
but we understand the old-time DEM

They say they will put up straight

"The abstract right of Mr.. Glenn

will not be disputed. The wisdom
of this procedure is quite another
thing. If the Republican State Con
vention, at Montpelier June 10, had
ignored the license issue and refused
to take steps to test the sentiment
of the people, then Mr. Clement and
his followers might havehad a plaus-

The Clement convention at Bur
lington last week performed its bust
ness as per schedule previously ar
ranged. Percival w. Clement was
made the nominee for Governor, with
F. w. Agan of Ludlow as candidate
for Lieut.. Governor. The remainder
of the regular Republican ticket was
endorsed. Why Stanton was drop
ped for Agan and why no changes
were made in the rest of the ticket,
has not yet been stated. The plat
form demands the repeal of the pro-
hibitory law and favored the substi-
tuition of a high license, local option
statnte and calls for more stringent
laws governing party primaries. The
resolutions declare that prohibition
is ineffective and demoralizing. An
attempt was made to commit the
delegates in favor of nine hour
labor day and a weekly payment
system, but it failed. Economy in
the administration of public affairs is
demanded. The convention has not
created any great enthusiasm as yet
and unless the feeling is different in
other localities than this, Mr.. Glenn
ent will be much disappointed man

The tendency of the average Re-
publican, after he has made his fight
and been beaten, is to accept the re-
suit. In more than one town in the
state, Clement delegates will support
McCullough.-Montp Argus.
This is no more than right. The
Republican party held its convention
and Clement men and Proctor men
went in and participated in its delib-
erations. A part of the Clement
men withdrew, but there was moth
ing to cause this withdrawal-they
left in a heat of passion. A full state
ticket was nominated in the regular
convention, referendum plank was
placed in the platform and just what
the Clement men asked for was given
them. All loyal Republicans ought
to stand by their party nominees.

The St. Adams Messenger may
have an idea that some of its edito-
rial utterances are helpful to the Re-
publican party and the state ticket.
True, the Messenger was not for Nc
Cullough before the convention, but
we supposed it accepted the result in
true Republican fashion. Placing
the ticket at the head of it's columns
and then putting in the knife when
ever and wherever possible, and many
times without just cause or provoca-
ton, is not true Republicanism. An
open enemy is far better than one
from within.
