PROHIBITION REPUDIATED.
Facts and Figures Showing That the Majority
Of Vermont Voters Favor High License

That Nermonters want local option
high license laws is pretty well dem
onstrated by the life which the issue
has put into the present campaign.
Never in the history of the state has
there been such Republican activity,
such skirmishing and such work put
into an off year. The legislature
Of 1900 contained rs Democratic repre-
sentatves and 1911 Republican, and
when the high license bill was pre-
sentcd it received the votes of 81 cities
and towns. representing not only a
majority Of the voters of the state but
a clear majority of the total popula-
tion. Below we present table show
ing the cities and towns which voted
for this bill and the population repre-
sented by them. This table shows with
out a doubt that high license could
have won in 1900 without even making
an issue of the question. Can the Re
publican party expect the people to 90
on keeping it in power, when it disre-
CARDS all the wishes of the people
Has it come to the point where we are
to blindly follow treacherous leaders.

of Brattleborc is sure to be leader,
as he was Is years ago when first elect
ed and the first Democrat to represent
his town. In times of radical change,
almost revolution, like these. men of
his strong sense and weight of charac-
ter are needed as never before. Mr..
iloughton of Putney, who is also prac-
ically sure of reelection, was the leader
in the fight for local option at the last
session.
On the Republican side, though as
whole it can't compare in weight of
ability, are some excellent men. None
will deny, even his strongest oppon-
ents, the ability and forcefulness of
Lawyer Fits. and there are few clean
er and more thoughtful men than Spen-
Ger Robinson of Wardsboro.
In the town of Dover the Republi-
cans and Democrats have agreed on a
candidate, and W. Frank Jones, a To-
cal option Republican, will appear on
both tickets. The Democrats OF Hall
fax have nominated A. C. Jones, for
many years town clerk and treasurer,
while the Republicans rely upon Frank
Stowe, a prohibitionist. Whitingham
Democrats have made good choice in
William 4. Brown who has represent
ed the town in years past and who is
known to be a strong and cal able man.
f. L. Wheeler is the Republican nom
inee. Londonderry has four candi-
dates in the field. all of them avowed
license men and one Clement suA
porter. They are W. A. Shattuck, L.
T. Landman. ]. W. Melendy and A.
Waite, the latter being the follower of
the Rutland candidate. Rev. H. A.
Goodhue was nominated by the Repub-
licans of Westminster while the Dem
ocrats have filed papers for John Mi
nard. From Grafton comes news of
- bad miX-up, the date of the caucus
being wrongly fixed. which necessitat-
ed the filing of papers at the last min
ute. No less than five candidates are
said to be in the field.
The prospects and the interest are
we'll measured comparatively by the at
tendance at the caucuses at Whining
ton; the Republicans had II voters ard
the Democrats 53.
Perhaps the most curious feature of
the campaig is the completeness of
the drop out from Republican argu-
ment Of prohibition. The stumpers act
exactly like the half dozen Republican
that have nominated Clement
or local option Republicans. They
don't say word for the cause they
have for generation been proclaim
ing sacred. Their argument is that
they are just as good as the Clement
men on this issue: they only want a

has been allowed. because their con
stitutions do not say otherwise as ours
does. The referendum is right in prin-
ciple and one of the most beneticent of
modern ideas of government in an age
where the virtues of democracy need
to be often drawn upon against the
evil power of great corporations and
greedy interests. Our constitution
ought to be amended so as to permit
such healthy infusion in our public
affairs; but the ring misrulers of the
state have taken care that that ca t
be done till 1910. 1t is indeed grossly
unfair that the only way of changing
this prohibitory law is under system
of representation that enables quar-
ter of the people TO rule the whole.
There has not been vote on the sub
iect in the Legislature for 20 years
where the representatives of major
ity of the people have not been re-
corded on the side of local option.
Two years ago it was nearly two-thirds
But we must face the situation as it
is. There is no way of changing the
law except the regular way of legisla
tion. This year, even with the heavy
odds against Us in this grossly undem-
ocratic and unrepublican system of
representation, there is good pros
pect that We can do it.
The only question is how many of
the people who desire a change can be
fooled by this referendum trickery.
The very least that can be said is
that there is grave doubt in case the
regular Republicans prevail, if the
change will not be checkmated in the
courts. and where the sense of taking
that chance--if II be a chance instead
of certainty when it is in the power
of local option men to settle the ques-
tion beyond peradventure or cavil at
the ballot box:

f..h., s,,n.., Accidentally Shot.

Father J. H. Brihker was acci-
dentally shot yesterday morning
about 9 o'clock. a bullet from a
3S-calibre revolver penetrating his
right groin and taking downward
course. He bled profusely, losing
fully one halt the blood in his
body before the physicians arrived
to attend him. Drs. Kearn and
Dow arrived in few minutes al
ter the accident occurred and did
everything possible for the injured
man. Father Brinker is very
weak from loss of blood, but at
noon was resting easily.
( Father Brinker had just return
ed home from mass, and several
people were still IN the church
when the accident occurred. He
was just about to eat breakfast
and went to cupboard to secure
some article, when he accidentally
knocked from one of the shelves a
revolver which had been kept there,
the trigger striking the edge Of the
shelf and being discharged be-
fore it reached the floor. The
bullet penetrated the right groin
aud took a downward course, and
although the doctors probed the
wound they have as yet been un-
able to locate the ball. The ex-
tent Of the injury has not develop
ed fully, and what the result will
be cannot be determined as yet.
Providing the femoral artery es-
capped injury, Father Brinker's
chances OF recovery 'are excellent.

l.. ]. Tyson, OF Pueblo, resi-
dent manager for X. G. Dunn <
CO., is making his annual tour Of
the Valley towns securing data for
the commercial rating of business
men. and visited La Junta Thur $
day and Friday. MIR. Tyson says
that with the exception Of Canon
City. La Junta has more business
firms than any town in the Valley.
He reports eighty-nine ratings on
his list in this city.
Mr.. Tyson says that business is
fiourishing in every city and town
in the state, with the exception OF
Florence and Cripple Creek. where
it has been unusually dull during
the past year. One remarkable
feature OF these conditions is the
fact that during the panic OF 1893
these two towns were the only
prosperous communities in the
state. He does not take much
stock in soil booms," but believes
that the development Of the sugar
beet industry will prove of more
lasting benefit to the Arkansas
Valley than the discovery of an
oil basin. Florence has an oil
basin and has been pumping oil
for years, but not single Dillon
aire has developed during all that
time. More money has been
made in buying and selling real
estate in oil districts than was
ever made from the product itself.
M. Tyson thinks that il would be
the better part Of wisdom to stick
70 sugar beets.
