BARTON, VERMONT, MONDAY. MAY 26, 1902.

Considerable talk has been made
because the high license st. Albans
Messenger has been using Proctor's
to importance principles as an argument
in his favor. Everybody knows that
non church member can tell just
how church member ought to live,
bee ause the lines of conduct by gen.
eral consent are we'll marked. There
fore it is not to be wondered at that
tie Messenger in this case should see
the weak point in the Mccullough
declaration and make the most of it.
Had the Free Press been on the other
side it would have scored such dec
laration numerically. But both
papers were pledged to their candi-
dates before the temperance issue
was forced to the front, and news
paper never recedes from position
it once takes.
The temperance men of the state
have but to contrast the statements
of the two candidates, and look at the
records they made when in 1898 and
1900 there was no political office
mixed up with it, to find just which
comes nearest to the loyal Vermont
idea.
1t is admitted that this campaign
will not be decisive on temperance
lines, because as the papers were
pledged before the issue of temper
ance was made, so many good men
had pledged themselves to McCul
Tough without thought of the temper
ance issue at all. But the great num-
ber of men are not pledged, ard it
remains with them to say where the
tide shall turn.
We believe that a candid weighing
of the facts as outlined above, and a
general survey of the best interests of
the state will show that Fletcher
Pro ctor is the best man to put in the
governors chair this year.
In view of the cry that there was an
alliance between him and the high
license forces, and that he must of
necessity be controlled by them if
elected, it is significant to see that the
Clement delegates elected in Mont
pelier were understood by the Free
Press to be ready to vote for McCul-
Tough as second choice. This one
fact outweighs thousand assertions
to the effect that the high license
sentiment prefers Proctor to McCul-
Tough. Acts speak louder than words
@. F. RANNEY.

and who, when a senator in 1898 left
his seat to avoid answering his name
when it was about to be called in vot-
ing on the license bill of that session,
and will the Hon. Frank Plumley
point out the consistency of such
conduct.
This canvass is drawing to a close,
and to say nothing about methods
which have covered the state with
newspapers and circulars and money
and all such, thicker than the plaques
of Egypt, trust in the closing scenes
of this great drama, the voter will not
lose sight of the fact that our next
governor ought to be Vermonter,
young man in the prime of noble
manhood and above all he ought to be
a man who has always voted and now
stands unequivocally for our prohib-
itory policy, the sheet anchor of the
best and dearest to us all. The choice
of a license governor will be direct
step toward the saloon in Vermont,
which to me presages desolation of
heart, head and home we may we'll
wish to avoid.

Of the 19 Vermont newspapers that
are supporting Mr.. Proctor, only two
advocate license. Of the 25 Vermont
newspapers that are supporting Gen.
Mccullough, not less than nine advo-
cate license. So much for the prattle
about the "motley host" that follows
Proctor's prohibition banner-and the
silence about the composition of the
Mccullough following. = Randolph

The sober, order-loving people of
this section will read with amazement
and indignation the detailed story
fir ON the Burlington Daily Nea0s, pub
lished elsewhere, respecting the polit-
ical club rooms that are conducted in
that city in the interest of Gen. McCul-
Tough. The fame of these clubs has
spread somewhat by current report,
but tn is is the first description given
in public print. Certain prominent
McCull ough men of Burlington have
made b aste to deny the responsibility
of Gen. Mccullough in the serving of
beer at these club rooms, and say that
Mr.. Barber distinctly ordered that it
sho uld not be served. At the same
time, it is established that beer has
been served at some or all of these
clubs. And in spite of their profess
sions of innocence, the managers of
the Mccullough campaign, both state
and dlocal, cannot evade responsibility.
They rented and fitted up these club
rooms, at which smoking and card
playing were established institutions.
What else could have been anticipated
tina that drinking would accompany?
The "beer vote" of Burlington and
some other towns is a not inconsider-
able factor, and nobody supposes for a
moment that the shrewd Mccullough
work ers of that city would not take
steps to land it in the most effective
way, without, perhaps, giving the de-
tails to Gen. Mccullough or those of
his leaders W no would object to such
methods. There was no justification
in the beginning for opening these
joints, and those responsible for it
cannot wash their hands of the con-
sequences. 1t all comes of trying to
u SO immense sums of money "legiti-
mately," to accomplish political
designs Randolph Herald and Neaos.

POLITICAL TRICKERY CONDEMNED.


To the Editor of the Monitor:
l wish to say a few words in your
paper concerning that remarkable
circular sent out from the Mccullough
camp at Newport saying, in capital
letters that Temperance and prohi
bition are unsafe in the hands of
Proctor" that the "Rum element is
supporting Proctor" that "No one
knows what Proctor would do in tenn
perance matters were he governor"
and Gaping this colossal pile of-well
I will call it information-with the
announcement that Mccullough is the
"Moses" to lead the temperance peo-
pie out of the wilderness; because
Frank Plumley, in letter accompany
ing the circular, says SO.
The people of this county are famil-
lar with the letters of these two can
didates written for the purpose of
stating their respective positions
upon prohibition and must already
have an opinion, as to frankness and
concealment, so conspicuous in the
two epistles. This I do not care to
discuss, for, to any unprejudiced
mind the letters, are clear that Proc
tor is for prohibition and Mccullough
is in the hands of majority of the
next legislature.
Mccullough lodged voting on all
temperance questions when senator.
The record shows that he lodged and
neither he nor any one for him in all
the canvass denies that he lodged,
and if prohibitionist why did he
dodge that important, responsible
duty which his oath as senator re-
quired him fearlessly to discharge.
Proctor did not dodge mis- vote in the
House in 1900 on temperance questions.
Mccullough has not said and does
not say in so many straightforward
words that he is and always has been
in favor of the prohibitory law as
Proctor frankly does. Then from
what these two men have done when
acting as public servants in the mat
ter of temperance legislation and
what they have said in the letters re-
ferred to can any one doubt in whose
hands Proctor or Mccullough the
tempe rance interests of the state
would be safest.
Gen. Mccullough could SO easily
say tn at he is a prohibitionist and
could so easily have voted as a pro-
hibitionist would have voted that we
have right to put him down as for
license.
Does it recommend man to be
governor, who, in the face and eyes
of these facts poses as prohibitisnist

The Reason WHY.

Will the editor of the st. Johnsbury
Republican deny that on several occa-
sions he stated in substance that he is
in this governorship fight for what
there is in it, and would support the
candidate who would pay most liber-
ally?-LyndonUille Journal.
Yes, sir! We do most emphatically
deny it. Look at the absurdity of the
Journals idea. The Republican is
supporting Proctor. Were the above
implication correct, we ought to be
supporting Mccullough, for not many
months ago the present editor of the
Journal acting as the alleged and
accredited agent of McCullough's
campaign managers, offered us more
money if the Republican would sup
port his candidate than we ever had
proffered us before or since by all the
other candidates for all the offices put
together. But when he found that
the Republicans editorial opinions
were not for sale, and that the same
thing was also true of our neighbor,
the Caledonian, he did the only thing
left for him to do if he wanted news
paper support for his candidate in this
section, and that was to go to Lyndon
vile and purchase the Journal.
This is the whole story in nutshell
The Journals ghost stories are getting
to be quite feature of the present
campaign.-St. Johnsbury Republican

At the caucus held sin Montpelier
|t week the Clement ticket defeated
Mccullough ticket by a small
|jority. The Montpelier Journal
plains the defeat of its candidate
stating that many voters who fa-
led Gen. Mccullough remained at
'ne, W hich is apparently the fact as
vote was a small one. However,
question comes up why these men
nained away from the polls. If
re had been a Proctor delegation
he field there is no doubt that the
ers would have been out in force,
with only Clement and McCul-
gh delegates to be voted upon
issue between the two men was
sufficiently strong to draw the
ple out. In connection with this it
yell to no te that Clement has not
ried his campaign into Bennington
nty but has remained out of it en-
ly although there is every reason
xpect that the high license idea is a
|ular one there. Mr.. Clement made
