O. L. Kidder of Holland says The
Messenger representative seems to
have found things in Orleans county
in condition that pleases him-all
going over to Proctor. l think he
failed to see few whose votes will
be counted for another Having been
a prohibitionist from my youth up
would do nothing to injure that cause,
but, believing in honest politics, fair
play and that the cause of temperance
is safe in the hands of j. c. McCul-
Tough, | can most heartily support
him; to my certain knowledge some
of the strongest temperance men in
this vicinity will do the same,

Hon John Young of Newport, one
of the leading lawyers of the State,
and a member of the Senate with
Gen. Mccullough, referred me to his
letter in the Express and Standard in
which he said: His position on the
liquor question, as shown by his pub
lished letter, seems to me to be the
best position which a Governor of the
whole people of the State can honest
ly take. After careful consideration
of the qualifications of each candidate,
| believe General Mccullough is the
best man for the position. "

Especial from Orleans County. }


Newport, VT. May 10, 1902. Your
correspondent visited Orleans county
this week in order to locate the LAND
slide" from Mccullough to Proctor
which the st. Adams Messenger dis
covered last week on account of the
letter from General Mccullough in
which he states what position he
would take toward liquor legislation,
in the event of his selection as Gov
ernor. After talking with a great
many men in the county, and ascer-
tanning the position of great major
ity of the leading men in many towns
l was simply amazed that any news
paper should be willing to 50 misstate
the true situation.

O. S. Annis of North Troy, chair
man of the Republican county COM
mittee, says:
North Troy, VT, May 6, 1902.
The recent letter in the st. Adams
Messenger, purporting to reflect the
sentiment of Orleans county on the
governorship question, comedies that
at present the town of Troy is strong
ly for Mccullough, but that it is liable
to change at any time by reason of his
attitude with reference to the temper
ance question. In it's first statement
the Messenger is correct. The people
are broad enough and intelligent
enough to understand and appreciate
that public officer is nothing but
servant of the people, and the feeling
here is that in his letter Gen. McCul-
Tough expresses that degree of respect
for and acquiescence in the expressed
will of the majority of the people of
this commonwealth which should be
controlling with the Chief Executive
i'll any republic. In discussing this
matter with many persons here | have
not heard a claim or hint but that
General Mccullough was thoroughly
safe and to be relied upon in regard
to the continuance of the prohibitory
law, nor could he interfere Herewith
did he feel disposed so to do, and
that he could not is of course a matter
of common knowledge. / have no
doubt but that this town will send a
solid Mccullough delegation TO the
State convention. The Proctor senti-
ment here is slight and is not improv.
ed by the idea that his friends are un-
dertaking to press recruits into the
rank by the argument that his father
occupies high, and therefore power
full, position.

Waiting?" The familiar hail of
the telephone girl is sent to Candidate
Proctor. If you should be elected
Governor, and bill licensing the
traffic in Intoxicating liquors should
be passed by the General Assembly,
would you veto the measure? This
question has been asked this candi-
date He hasn't answered it. The
newspapers supporting Candidate
Proctor do not answer the question.
Are candidate and supporters waiting,
or are they making a tell-tale and the
most conspicuous dodge of the genera
ton?

man, an expression of man who is

be Governor of the whole State and

man from the start, and l see no good
reason for changing my mind now
see nothing alarming, or out of
the way in Gen. McCullough's state
ment as to what he should consider
his duty to be were he elected Gov
ernor in confirming or approving the
acts of the General assembly. If it is
the will of the majority of the voters,
expressed by their representatives,
that matters of public policy should
be changed, what reason could a Gov
ernor give for vetoing or thwarting
that will whatever it may be? Why
his position can be called straddle"
is more than l can see, for he GER
tainly answers the question as to what
he would do.
am as much opposed to high IL
cense or to local option as anyone,
and should deplore its adoption in any
form. l firmly believe, as Gen. Nc
Cullough says, that the majority of
the people in this State are of the
same mind and will sustain the pres
ent prohibitory law, but should it
prove otherwise l should expect the
majority to rule, for that is the foun-
dation of our most excellent govern
mental system.

ing citizen, says:
II would rather vote for McCul-
Tough than any man in Vermont this

NJ. B. Chafey, well known bust
ness man of Albany, and member of
the Senate of 1898, says:
81 am in no way politician,
and as yet have made no reply
to the inquiries regarding General
Mccullough in the Vermont Sen
ate of '9S, as l am not of the
opinion that so much newspaper talk
on the matter will avail much. But
l will say at this time that the Gen.
eral was very popular in the Senate of
49, and no one then thought he was
Sinking his duty as Senator in any
way, neither did it appear that he
came there, like some, to air himself,
which would have been very unbecom-
ing and unexpected from so able a
man. l am true friend OF the Hon.
Fletcher D. Proctor, but l did think
it an inopportune time last fall for nm
to announce himself as candidate
was pleased when l learned he was
not to do so, and sorry when he again
changed his mind and commenced his
canvass. 1t would come to him in
time 1 was very much pleased to an
nounce myself a supporter of Cen
Mccullough as soon as knew that he
was a candidate, and have seen no
reason to change my mind, believing
that if he were elected to the position
of Governor, he would conduct the
affairs of the office in such an able
manner that all would be proud of
their Chief Executive, and Vermont
would be raised i'll the estimation of
her sister States.
f. A. Ferrin of Holland, leading
citizen, says: II am for Mccullough.
As prohibitionist am satisfied with
his position on that question and am
not alarmed at the anxiety of the high
license Messenger, or any other paper
or person. -

1t is not of course to be wondered
at that high license papers, like the
st. Adams Messenger, Burlington
News and others, should wish to di-
vide the temperance people; but a
very large proportion of the temper
ance men of the county who have
stood for the cause and are among it's
most consistent supporters, can see
through the scheme and some of the
prohibitionists who are for Proctor do
not relish the company they are in.
The Messenger correspondent must
have misunderstood Mr.. Ranney in
saying he left Mccullough because of
his letter, for l was told by reputable
business men of Newport that Mr..
Ranney was originally for Proctor,
and deserted Mccullough only when
Proctor came into the field again.

Nearly all of the men with whom l
talked said that the more they con-
sidered General McCullough's letter
the more they were impressed with
the fact that it was the only position
which Governor could take if he
was fair minded and honorable man.
| was told that the Messenger state
ment that the county was covered
with Mccullough workers from out
side was absolutely false, and that all
the men who are interested in his
candidacy are residents of the county
and among the most honorable and
best known men, and that the reason
for the interest which large number
of the residents of the county were
taking in his candidacy was because
OF the methods which the Proctor
men were taking and the arguments
they were using against one of the
ablest and best men in the State.

eral office holder who deserted Nc
Cullough when Proctor became a can
didate, has been advocating a candi-
date who would veto a high license
or local option bill, and some of the
Proctor prohibitionists have claimed
that their candidate would do that,
and now when Proctor refuses to say
what he would do with such a bill,
the Mccullough men are. asking the
Proctor men who is lodging.

reasons for supporting Mccullough
and the names of small portion of
those who are taking an active inter-
est in his canvass in different towns
in the county, but was not able to see
men from every town.
Anyone who knows the men quoted
will at once recognize the fact that
they are men of high standing and
influence in the county, and not men
who will be bought and sold as the
Proctor organs are charging.
