Wanted "Snap" Convention.

The first certainty in the intensity
of uncertainties that make up the can
vass for the republican nomination
for the governorship has been reached
at last. The date of the state con-
vention has been fixed as Thursday,
June 10, and Montpelier is to be the
place. This leaves approximately six
weeks more of excitement and expen-
diture of nervous energy, and then
the game is up.
1t is worthy of note, however, that
members of the state committee who
favored the canvass of Gen. John G..
Mccullough were at first insistent that
the date should be set for the last
week of May. What could have been
the motive back of desire to call a
''snap" convention, for such it would
be, is not hard to guess. The
endeavor to hurry along the state
convention was perfectly frank ad
mission that from now on the longer
the wait the better the chances Of
Fletcher D. Proctor. Itwas confes-
sion that every days work now makes
| to the advantage of Proctor and to the
disadvantage of Mccullough. 1t was
plain avowal of anxiety to hold the
state convention before many more
/. of McCullough's delegates were los
to him.
Again the Messenger reminds it.

When news came of the terrible
catastrophe on the island of Martin
tque President Roosevelt Immediately
asked congress to vote $50O,OOO for
the relief of the sufferers. All other
business was laid aside and the mat
ter was given attention with the
result that two sums, one Of 100000
and later one of $500, 900, were placed
at the disposal of the president to be
used in succoring the destitute people
bf French colony. In addition to
this, relief funds are being started in
many places and large sums of money
and food stuffs and clothing are being
donated. The United States has
always proven herself a friend to
humanity, and this Is still further
shown by the prompt and generous
response which she has made to this
emergency call from a stricken peo'
DE.

The Mccullough supporters appar-
emily believe that they can make up
for the constant decrease in their
ranks by increasing their claims. A
recent issue of the Boston Globe con-
tanned a despatch from Burlington in
which Gen. Grout, who is g strong
supporter of Col. Proctor, is placed in
the Mccullough ranks, and stating
that Orleans and Caledonia counties
are solid for Mccullough. If there is
no more reason for other claims which
they make than there is for the above
McCullough's chances of success
are poor.

ORLEANS COUNTY FOR PROCTOR.

A great effort is being made by
the Mccullough supporters to show
that Orleans county is solid or nearly
SO for their candidate. They point to
the fact that he has supporters in va
rious towns who were pledged to him
early in the campaign and who are
now remaining by him, but here. as
in nearly every county, they fail to
take into consideration the large body
of voters by whom the question is to
be settled. There is a very strong
sentiment in Orleans county in favor
of prohibition and this has been
strengthened by the recent visit of
Mr. Clement. The people who are in
favor of the prohibitory law are not
to be deceived by McCullough's letter
on the subject in which he expressed
no opinion whateverIbut merely made
bid for votes from the supporters of
both candidates. They recognize that
Proctor is true and tried friend to
the law, as was shown when he direct
ed the clerk of the last house to call
his name and voted against the Glenn
ent bill thus placing himself squarely
in favor of prohibition, and by his
letter in which he gives his position
In a manner which cannot be mis-
understood by anyone. Since it has
become known that McCullough's
sympathies are with the license advo-
Gates several of his strongest sup
porters have become advocates of
Proctor's candidacy, and although
the Mccullough campaigners are put
ting forth every effort in their
attempt to hold their own ranks
intact and to change the drift of pub
lie opinion yet with the assistance OF
the workers whom he is sending here
from other sections they are utterly
failing in accomplishing their object
The sentiment in this county is grow
ing stronger for Proctor every day
and if the people come out to the eau
cuses there is little doubt that he will
have large majority of the delegates

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
NOMINATION.

AS the time for holding the republi-
can state convention approaches and
the lines in the triangular fight are
drawn closer, let us consider the sig
nificance of its possible results.
If Mr.. Proctor is nominated, no one
questions that such an outcome will
be victory for prohibition and the
present laws regulating the sale of
Intoxicating liquor. If Mr.. Clement
could be nominated high license or
local option would have waged sue
cessful war against prohibition. The
only other alternative is the nomina-
ton of General Mccullough. If the
Bennington man is nominated how
will the paramount issue of the cam
paign have been decided? According
to his letter he stands on either or
both sides of that issue: if the pro-
hibitionists will nominate him he will
be a prohibitionist: if the license
forces will do so he will be license
man. The question whether McCul-
lough's nomination would signify
license or prohibition victory hinges
then upon the question of which will
be the means of securing his nomina-
tion.
All who are acquainted with the
situation agree that if Mr.. Proctor
does not secure a majority on the first
ballot, he will obtain at any rate a
good sizsd plurality. Then there
would be a deadlock until the fol-
lowers of one of the candidates begin
to withdraw their support. When
Mr.. Clement finds it impossible fol
him to secure the nomination, the
natural sequence of events is that his
followers will grasp the only opportu,
nifty left open to secure high license
and local foption victory and flock tC
the support of General Mccullough
In that case General Mccullough
would be indebted to the license del
egates for the nomination. The can
didate who is now willing to be either
prohibitionist or license man, &C
cording to the temperament of thos
who place him in power, would thel
be republican license candidate 70
election. If General Mccullough j
nominated for governor, it will be b!
license votes, with Mr.. Clement a
dictator.
We respectfully submit the abov
to the republicans of Vermont VIII
q believe prohibition to be the polio
which best suits the welfare of thi
state and who are desirous of seein
the attacks upon it defeated.
Il We ask supporters of prohibitio
to weigh these reflections before &c
:, ing into the republican caucuses t
:, vote. 1t is our belief that, if by an
: chance Mccullough should be tn
: next republican nominee for governc
of the state of Vermont, Clement ar
n his followers will throw up their ha
! and shout for their victory in I'll
= republican convention, until tt
election of members to the legislatul
in the fall. The surest way to defe
that is to elect Proctor delegates.

state that Mr.. Graham is in the field

The fact is being recognized in
many sections that it is very

office and that Mr.. Graham is emil

] by all. That he will receive the un-
divided support of Orleans county
there is no question and his friends
are highly encouraged from the
strong assurances which he is receiv'
ing from all over the state.

No better evidence could be given of

baign than that furnished by the
Mccullough managers when they
attempted to have the convention
held in May instead of June as has
been the custom. Gen. McCullough's
Importers fully recognize the fact
hat public sentiment throughout the
tate is growing stronger for Proctor
very day. They understand that they
ave never had the people with them
{ any time during the five years in
which they have been carrying on

AS a legislator, Mr.. Graham was
member of the House of 1892, serving
as chairman of the committee on
state and court expenses and as a
member of the committee on revision
of bills He also introduced and
advocated the measure that finally
resulted in the revision of the statutes
in 1894. He was again member of
the House of 1900, at which session he
was chairman of the committee on
corporations, member of the COM
mittees on rules, revision of bills and
judiciary. In all these capacities he
served his constituency and the state
with manifest ability, and in 1900 was
confessedly one of the foremost
leaders of the house. He was presi-
Dental elector in 1900, and has been
states attorney for Orleans county
since 1898, being once reelected.
That he has discharged the duties of
this important Office with eminent
ability, fairness and fidelity is un-
questioned.
AS business man it may be said
that he is member of the firm of
Stevens, Graham & Kinney at Hard
wick, VT, and of the firm of Graham
& Skinner of Craftsbury. Both Of
these concerns do very creditable
business, and his connection with
them is such as to give him know
| ledge of commercial and business life.
1t is indicative of the regard in which
he is held by the people of the town
where he has lived most of his life,
that he has been elected to nearly all
the offices within their gift, such as
moderator, town agent and town
auditor, for several years.
The friends of Mr.. Graham urge that
the spirit of fairness ought to prevail
in this contest, and they remind the
public of the fact that since 1875 only
one inc umbent who has lived on the
east side of the state has held this
Office, aud that was the Hon. F. D
Hale of Lunenburg.

is there is any such a thing as a
hoodo. we think our friend Lester
Grant can claim he is pursued by one.
He has had all kinds of trouble with
that little pleasure steamer OF his, in
trying to get it to run smoothly and
now all those difficulties were fairly
conquered, it is destroyed by lire along
with his pavilion at the landing up
the river on II. A. Smiths land. The
fire occurred Tuesday morning and it
is not known how it originated but it
must have been the work OF tramps
or boys carelessness or else someone
done il maliciously. 1t seems almost
beyond belief that anyone could have
been so mean or low as TO have done
it for the latter reason.
Mr.. Grant was making preparations
to inaugurate the season as soon as
the weather gets little warmer, and
it could not possibly have happened
at a worse time, it being too late TO
build a boat for this season and he
will loose the whole season unless he
can purchase one. He had 5000 in
surance on the boat and 800 on the
pavilion in Wagner's agency which
probably is about two-thirds the loss.
1t is a severe blow to Mr.. Grant and
many friends sympathize with him.

NICHOLS IN COURT AGAIN.
He Appears Before Judge at Grand
Rapids and Gave Bonds.

Geo. T.. Nichols was notified Monday
morning that the long deferred and
much talked of complaint against him
for attempting to get the witness
Garman to admit the receipt OF GER
tain letters which Thomas f. McGar-
nv claimed to have written Garman,
and which Garman claimed were
"fakes" and that Nichols told him
were flakes" had been filed and that
he was requested to appear and ans
wer. Mr.. Nichols left on the noon
train for that purpose, with his bonds
men. 1t would appear very strange,
in the face of admitted statement
that Garman has been lying about
what occurred between himself and
Mr.. Nichols, that the prosecution
should so suddenly arrest Mr.. Nichols.
and it is fair to presume that the real
cause of the move is to detract at
tention from the prosecutions appar-
ent suppression of an important piece
of evidence, important not only in the
McGarry trial, but in the fact that it
shows that Mr.. Nichols was not guilty
of wrong doing as charged by Gar
man.-Ionia Sentinel.
