validity Of the law whatever the result
if any citizen still retains any
lingering doubt on the subject let
him ask the opinion Of any repu-
table lawyer who is not politician or
in the pay of Mccullough or Clement
in this campaign. Not one will fail on
looking it up TO tell you that any such
action as that of theRepublican platform
would be mere blow in the air and
that law enacted in any such condi-
tional way would be thrown out of the
courts, as quick as it could get there
As a mere nullity. My chum in college,
a leading Pennsylvania lawyer and ar
dent Republican, A. T. Searle of
Honesdale, a Windsor boy and son of
the late Rev. DR. Searle, was my guest
over one night this week, and | sub
mitted the question to him. this sec
tion of the constitution on one side
and the Republican platform on the
other. His reply, like Judge Wheeler's
was that it was too plain a matter to
be susceptible of doubt. that the sub
mission of any act which could in
clude all other legislation as we'll as
that on the liquor question to popu-
lar ratification was nothing more nor
less than plain contradiction of the
plain provision of the constitution.
Not only is this all true. but | be-
lieve | have it straight, when | charge
that the Republican leaders of the
state knew it all when they made that
plank of their platform. that their res
olution committee or its leaders. in
cluding EX-Goy. Stewart, the chair
man, had long conference at the Of
flee of b. F. Fifeld where they all
agreed that ii was unconstitutional
and that they went straight from there
to the convention and perpetrated this
fraud-for no other word will describe
it-on contiding people. Even Glenn
ent was fooled and expressed his satis-
faction, though there was abundant rea-
son for suspicion when these fellows,
including Morrow and sincere advo-
Gates of prohibition as we'll as the old
political plunderers under prohibition
the whole length and breadth of the
state, all of a sudden became such ad-
vocates of referendum which they
had always voted down at every oppor-
tunity in legislature and convention,
up to that moment.
| say that when the leaders and con-
trollers of a great party get to point
where they think it safe to perpetrate
such a great bunco game on the people,
the simple fact, without any of the
other proof, piled mountain high, of
the gross character of our one-sided
political misrule, is reason enough for
a change As Judge Wheeler also said
to me. it is only an exhibition on a
greater scale of what Windham coun
ty people have seen in this county
building scheme.
Anyhow there is no longer excuse for
any local option man to be deceived.
If the Republican ticket and policy
prevail, every promise of the platform
can be carried out to the letter, and
the state be cheated out of local option
and the old plunder under prohibition
to hundreds of thousands
every year, go steadily on. Any man
who votes the regular Republican tick
ct this year, or any part of it, votes for
just this.
Don't be fooled
c. H. Davenport.
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1902-08-29

Ye gods and little fishes. Has it
come to this: Is il necessary for man
to believe in prohibition, to be pledged
to a referendum, to vote tor Dining
ham. to re-elect the supreme bench, TO
secure charters for dams. to be actually
needed at Montpelier in order to be
eligible to seat in that most august
bodv-the legislature of Vermont. The
Republican club of Brattleboro thinks
so. In a circular which has been spread
broadcast throughout the town TINS
week it SAYS as much. Hysterlcally 1t
goes into raptures over the wonderful
record and astounding ability of its
candidate and practically says that the
Vermont legislature will go to rack
and ruin and the state lose Its far
name if Mr.. Fits does not hold down
one of the chairs in the state house,
There is a deep and dangerous plot
AGAINST the present supreme bench but
Mr. Fits will nip it in the bud. Some
tbino dreadful is in store for Senator
Dillingham; but the omnipotent Fltts
will fix that, too. An attempt may pe
made even to wrest the power from the
Republicans in the next national oon-
eress-if Fits is not sent to the legls-
lature.
We have said from the first that Mr.
Fits is well qualified for the leglsla,
ture although we have not hlccoughea
ourselves into indigestion about lt)
but we believe that the Republican
machine is in error about the qualln
cations needed in this campaign. we
are willing to go on record as saying
that it is only necessary for a man TO
come out and declare that he Is for
high license local option law IN order
TO secure the votes of not less IMAM 9oo
Brattleboro freemen.
For over 80 years Brattleboro has
been sending to the Legislature repre-
sentatives who, with very Few eAcep-
tions. stood for absolutely nothing but
themselves and the Republican ma
chine Why then are the requirements
raised TO such an altitude at TINS par
ticular time? Is not DIR. Conland as
good citizen as have been other rep
resentatives in years past? Is he any
loss GOOD citizen because he is
democrat? Is he not fully as lntelll-
rent as those who have gone before
him. Can he not be trusted with 'the
welfare of the people: .,s
The truth of the matter, In words ol
ono syllable. is that the machine Is
ahout run down. It's up against the
real thing. As the reports from the
various captains pile up in the head
quarters and the true feeling OF the
voters becomes apparent the leaders are
beginning to realize the 5ltter run iar
+bst thpy are done for. No one can
blame them for fighting to the END. IL
- tbo only manly thing TO do. We sug-
aast ~ yn however. that the next time they
issue issue any food for thought, they take
those tbe1 ' to whom it is offered. Mr.: Fits
stand stands - squarely on the, prohibition
s,Iatform SIatS and DR.. Conland on that OF
/ iah license and local option. This Is
the only issue which enters into ihs the
oamnaign onp and the only one which

THE FOX AND THE CHICKENS.
A Fable

\ certain farmer who advertised for
a keeper for his chickens, had numer-
GUS applicants for the position. Among
them was a fox. who being an uncom-
monty handsome and foxy animal, eX
cited the farmers admiration. When
the other applicants saw that the fox
was likely to get the position. they be
gan to cry, What. Would you employ
him to keep your chickens: Why, he
is a professional chicken catcher, an
accomplished chicken killer, and an
inveterate chicken eater!'' The farm
er hesitated. but the fox. who was also
facile manipulation of language said:

CAUTION VOTERS.
Mark Your Ballots Right Next Tuesday or
Your Votes Will Not Count-Read the Fol-
lowing Instructions Carefully and Also
Those on the Ballot.


lowing Instructions Carefully and Also
Those on the Ballot.
Every citizen who wishes to have his
vote count in Tuesdays election should
take special care in marking his bal
lot. 1t must be borne in mind that a
cross in the square at the head of any
one of the four tickets votes the entire
ticket from top TO bottom, and that
more than one mark makes the whole
ballot no good If a voter wishes to
vote the Republican state ticket and
Democratic county ticket he must
place crosses in the small squares at
the right of the names of the state of
ficers on the Republican ticket and
then make similar marks against the
names of the county candidates on the
Democratic ticket but not at the top.
Remember if a cross is placed in the
large square at the head of the Repub
lican ticket your vote counts one for
all the names thereon. The Demo
cratic and License local option tickets
are identical beginning with the state
senators so that if a voter wishes to
cast his ballot for the Clement state
ticket and the Democratic county
ticket he needs simply to place a cross
in the large square at the head of the
License Local Option ticket. Do not
place crosses opposite the names of the
same candidates on both Democratic
and License county tickets or the bal
lot will be spoiled.
Town representatives are voted for
on separate ticket and instructions
for marking it are fully explained on
this page.
