A Word to the Voters.

To make choice of persons for po-
litical Offices is one of the highest
rights granted to citizens. Upon its
exercise rests the foundation OF free
government.
If you are Republicans, why vote
for Clement? He is not the candi-
date of your party. He went into the
state convention, seeking the nomina-
tion, and was defeated. He secured
the adoption of his pet plank in the
platform and then bolted. He bolted
the action of his own county conven-
ton after pledging it his support. He
had not the slightest cause for either
bolt.
If you are Democrats, remember
also, that he is not the nominee OF
your party. The Democratic conven'
tion quickly turned him down and
nominated a consistent party man
Clements platform is the web which
he spins out of his own mouth to
catch unthinking voters.

The Supreme Court.

The preservation of our Vermont
supreme court, as now organized, is
a leading issue in the contest to be
decided next Tuesday. Sufficient
emphasis has not been laid on this
fact, but it is a fact, nevertheless.
Beyond doubt, it would be the purpose
OF Mr.. Clement, if he could secure a
majority of his own followers and of
Democrats in the next legislature, to
reorganize the supreme court accord
ing to his own wishes. This would
mean the displacement of Judge Tyler,
and of other judges who have long been
an honor to the Jurisprudence of the
state. For this reason, chief among
all others, it is the duty of Brattle-
boro Republicans, and of the Repub-
licans of every other Windham county
town, to support their regular party
nominee for town representative.

The Howe Concert Last Evenino


1t is the rule with Mary Howe to
sing before her home people each year
in August, when circumstances per-
nit. She never has failed to receive
a large and enthusiastic audience. and
the one at her concert last evening
IN the Auditorium was not an excep-
tlon. Her lovely voice, too, never was
heard 10 better advantage, and the
cnarm OF her graceful personality SEEM
ed even more attractive than before.
On previous occasions she has sung

Act ~ of Donizetti's opera Lucia
10 the great delight of her hearers,
put last evening she gave the entire
scene in costume and with dramatic
action and although it was the last
NUMBER on the program the audience
remained in their seats and recalled
the singer repeatedly.
Those who participated in the con-
cert, besides Miss Howe. were Iucien

Frederick Main, violinist, and Artbur
Philips, baritone. While accountant.
ments are, of necessity. subordinate
10 the solo parts, yet at Mr.. Howe's
hands the accompaniment becomes an
enjoyable part of every rendition. One
OF the most pleasing numbers on last
nights program was one of Mr.. Howe's
compositions, and andante movement
for violin and piano, the rendering of
which was enthusiastically encored.
Mr.. Main is rapidly nearing the front
rank OF violinists. He has mastered
the art of tone producing and plays
with great depth of feeling and ex-
preston. Mr.. Philips, who is a son
OF Prof. Philips of Northfield, is a
young singer of promise His voice
Is robust, but flexible, and possesses
richness of quality which is delight
full to hear.
Mr.. Wheaton's part in the program
was less prominent than the others,
but he showed that he is master of
the flute. He played with discrimi-
nation the obligato in the scene from
Lucia" and was heard to good ad-
vantage in the opening number with
the piano and violin. The fiute-like
quality of Miss Howe's voice is par
ticularly noticeable in conjunction
with this instrument. While refer
ring again to Miss Howe, mention
should be made of the group of four
songs which she sang last night 1t
is doubtful If she ever sang four
songs in succession with greater
cumulative effect.

WOULD BE CONSTITUTIONAL.
Ex-Gov. John w. Stewart States His
Belief Regarding a Referendum.

The Democrats have alleged dur
ing this campaign that ex-Gov. John
w. Stewart, chairman of the commit
tee which drafted the referendum res
olution in the Republican state con-
vention, would not dare to state over
his own signature his belief that a
referendum would be constitutional.
In answer to a query from the editor
of The Phenix Gov. Stewart replies
as follows:
To the Editor of The Phmnix:-
| think our legislature is empow-
cred under our constitution to enact
a statute contingent upon a popular
vote of acceptance.
This answers your question as to the
authenticity of a rumor that | had
expressed a contrary opinion.
Yours truly,

A Local Option Papers Views.

The Burlington News has always
been high license local option paper.
1t condemned certain features of the
pre-convention campaign in no meas
ured terms, and the first impression
given by the News after the conven-
tion was that it would support Mr..
Clement. Last Monday, in one of
the most comprehensive and cogent
editorials which has appeared in a
Vermont newspaper this year, the
News candidly reviewed the entire
political situation. The local option
issue is the great question with the
News, but it cannot see where or how
Mr.. Clement can be of any more SER
vice to the local option cause than
Gen. Mccullough, and can easily see
how he might possibly be of less SER
vice. The News therefore stands by
Gen. Mccullough. A few paragraphs
from the News's argument make per-
tinent reading at this time:
In this fight it is well to remem-
Der that the Republican party is and
has been the party of the people in
Vermont. 1t has now placed the re-
formation of the liquor laws as one
of its leading issues and is pledged
to do that work 1t is our opinion
that this work must not only be done,
but it must be maintained after it is
done, by the Republican party. 1t
seems to us like suicidal policy for
the people who believe in local option
especially Republicans--to break
away from the party now when 1t
and its candidates are pledged to
make the desired change in our liquor
legislation.

Mr. Clement participated in the Re-
publican convention without advance
protest, and certainly would have ac-
cepted the nomination if he had got
it, Another man got it and Mr..
Clement repudiates that nomination,
with no more facts to justify repudia-
tion than he had before he participated
in the convention. This kind of a
bolt is different from the ordinary
voters bolt and different from
what it would have been before partic-
ipation in the convention. In the
present bolt there is a question of
morals, or at least a question of honor
at stake. If Mr.. Clement had been
nominated he certainly would have
considered it a very mean and dis
honorable trick If one of the other
candidates had gotten together the
Washington county affidavits and bolt
ed his nomination. That feeling
must prevail quite generally among
men who believe in party honor.
