cry way. The p an adopted for dispos-
ing OF q sufficient amount Of the COM
mon stock of the Omaha Auditorium
Company to comp tie and furnish
what will be the largest and handsom-

guesses, one on a special prize and one
on a list of 1.001 prizes.
The capital prize Of $4,000 In gold,
contributed by the Defiance Starch
Co. of Omaha, Neb., and 1000 other
prizes, ranging in value from $3.50 up
to $500, contributed by the business
men of Omaha, will be awarded i'm
medlately after the election next No
vember, but the contest for them has
already opened, and will close Octo-
Der %, or as much sooner as the
shares of stock are sold. The capital
prize will be awarded to the person
guessing closest to the total vote
which will be cast for governor of
New York, November 4, 1902, and the
other prizes to the 1000 persons max
ing the next closest guesses. The total
vote at the last five elections was:

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-08-01

Count Carlo Aloisio Contarini, who
died recently in Venice, is believed to
have been the last male descendant OF
the great Contarini family that gave
eight doges and forty-four procuratori
to the republic. The first doge, Do
menico Contarini, ruled from 1O43 tc
1911 and rebuilt st. Marks in its pres
ent form. The last count was a re
tired officer in the Italian army and
very poor. He could not be made to
pass through the Grand canal, on
which are ave splendid palaces that
once belonged to his family.

Stand by Proctor.

OF the 246 towns and cities in Yer
mont, upward of hundred have al
ready held state convention caucuses,
and about 100 caucuses will be held
tonight and Saturday. Saturday will
see the grand wind-up, and when the
returns are in the standing of the
three candidates and the complexion
of the convention will be known ap-
proXimately Eight Windham county
towns will hold caucuses tomorrow
afternoon and evening, completing the
list of our % towns. AS a final word,
we urge upon the voters of these
towns, and especially the farmers, the
duty of attending the caucuses and
of voting according to their convic-
tions, regardless of what has been
done in other towns. 1t is no reason.
because Brattleboro and Rockingham
have elected Clement delegations, why
the friends of Mr.. Proctor in these
remaining towns should neglect to
stand by him. If you believe in clean
politics, in an unbought ballot. in sup
porting the prohibitory law, vote for
Mr.. Proctor, regardless of any reason
that may be urged to the contrary.
The delegation from your town may
decide the vote in the state conven-
ton, and your own vote may decide
the election of your town delegation.
If you believe in Fletcher Proctor and
what he represents, stand by him.

A Spot that Won't "Out."

The charges which are openly made
of the way in which the eleventh.
hour business of the Mccullough cam
paign is being conducted on the west
side of the state are beyond belief.
The Rutland News, for instance. open
ly charges that in Middlebury and
Bristol numbered ballots were given
to the voters, that the names of the
voters were on a list with correspond
ing numbers, and that when the votes
had been polled the men who cast
them were paid 81 each. The Rut-
land Herald openly intimates its be-
lief that a similar method was used
in the New Haven caucus. In a
Lincoln despatch to the Herald it is
charged in the broadest way that Nc
Cullough workers paid from 81 to
50 each for votes. and that after the
caucus was over, on motion of a Nc
Cullough worker, the ballots were
burned in a stove in the hall The
Burlington News on Wednesday re-
peated its charge, often made ever
SihSe lne CANVASS began. tlat beer is
served freely every night to young
and old at the Mccullough headquar-
ters in that city. Charges of the use
Of both money and liquor in other
places are also made.
We hope these charges are not true.
In estimating them it is charitable to
make due allowance for heated tenn
pers and overwrought imaginations.
which are an inevitable development at
this stage of the campaign. But
whatever their measure of truth, this
much is certain. The attempt to
defeat Proctor by wickedly false
charges that he oppresses his employ
es, robs them of their small wages at
the company store. and knowingly toll
crates or allows the sale of LIQUOR to
them, is such a fragrant and unjusti.
liable violation of all the rules of
political warfare as has never be-

Whatever the outcome of the canvass.
this is blemish on our political rec
ord which can never be wiped out.

Ex-eov. oRMsBEE's PLAIN TALK

About the False and Malicious charoes
Against Fletcher Proctor Which
Have Been Spread Broadcast over
the State.
Ex-Gov. f. j. Ormsbee of Brandon
has sent to the Rutland Evening News
a letter Indignantly branding as vic
iously false and unjust all the various
publications of the Mccullough manag-
ers, charging Fletcher d. Proctor and
the Vermont Marble company with op-
pressive treatment of their employees.
Ex-Gov. Ormsbee, who lives only miles
from Proctor, and is intimately &C.
quainted there, declares his belief that
nowhere else can be found a private
concern which has shown so much So
licitude for the well-being of it's en-
ployes, or has spent money so freely to
create an ideal community Nowhereis
there a more orderly village, nowhere
is the prohibitory law more thoroughly
enforced, and nowhere is there great
er personal effort used to prevent the
Ormsbee declares to be especially
false, slanderous and defamatory the
charge that Mr.. Proctor violates the
law by leasing buildings owned or con-
trolled by himself or the Marble COM
pany for the sale of intoxicating
liquors. In conclusion he says:
The publication to which | have re-
ferred and other like ISLANDERS all SEEM
ingly emanating from the same source
and for like purpose, which are filling
the mails of Vermont at this time are
new in the political history of our state
and are degrading our politics to a low
plane l never dreamed that any one
in the state of Vermont-no matter to
serve what ends-would dare to so ira
duce and wickedly SANDER any man, in
dustry, and community. To me, a
neighbor, knowing their utter falsity
these wicked and outrageous charges are
simply appalling. When the good peo-
pie or Vermont understand the extent
or their falsity, they will appear appaIl-
ing to them also"

The Lieutenant-Go -Governorship.
[From the Northfeld News.l

In the person of Hon. Zed s. Stanton.
washington county presents n candidate
for lieutenant governor who in natural
ability, training, and experience is better
ntted for the duties incumbent upon that
Office than is found in either of the other
two candidates He is a better presidinp
officer and much more forcible speak-
er. 1t has been often said in the past
rev years that the voters ought to he
more careful in making their selection
Tor the second place on the ticket. The
office is really a highly important one
because the incumbent may be called up
on at any time to fill the position of chief
executive or the state. In such an emer-
gency Mr.. Stanton would be found ex-
ceptionally well qualified. He is fully
IN touch with the people. knows the state
from the Canadian border to the Massa-
chusetts line and is broad enough in in
teilect TO touch from Lake Champlain to
the Granite state border. He is a man
VINO knows not only how to do things
put he does them. His executive ability
far exceeds that of Mr.. Baldwin. Judging
from the latter's efforts when he was
AT the mead OF the Republican state COM
mlttee some years since. Mr.. Bartlett
though most excellent man, lacks i'm
necessary experience. All this Is said
In the most friendly spirit toward the
other two aspirants for the place. It is
an important matter, this lieutenant gov
SihoiS snip, anu tHe truth must be spoken
In the interests of the state and the Re-
publican party.
1t has been So years since Washington
county has been honored with the cleo
ton of lieutenant governor. The
MONIES or the other candidates, Essex
ana orleans, as well as most OF the other
counties, have had this office within that
period. While the question of location
is not the most essential point in the
candidacy of any man at any time vet
everything else being equal, a fair dis
trlbution over the state of an elective
once Is certainly in the interests of good
government. Mr.. Stantons candidacy
is therefore desirable, first and foremost,
because he Is best fitted for the position
and secondly because he comes from a
county which has longest been without
the honored office to which he aspires
The present indications, so far as can
be learned at this time. are that a
majority of the voters have already an
ticipated these incontrovertible claims
for Mr.. Stanton and will record their
preferences at the Republican state con-
vention, June 49,

A Convention Prediction.
from Rutland News of last evening

tFrom Rutland News of last evening.l
There have now been elected 429
delegates to the state Republican con-
vention, leaving 299 still to be elected.
John G. Mccullough now has 224 votes
assured him and he will require 141
more to secure the nomination for gov
ernor. In other words he will need
nearly half of the delegates still to
be elected. He will never get them.
AT the best he will be from 25 to so
votes short of the nomination on the
first ballot, and everybody except his
purblind supporters and advisers know
that his first ballot will be his strongest
There are some Mccullough delegates
who will perfunctorily perform their
bounden duty of voting for their can
didate on the first ballot and soon
change their votes to the candidate of
their real choice.

The Rutland Herald, which counts
the contested delegation of 16 from
Rutland city for Clement, figures the
totals to stand this morning: Clement,
116; Mccullough, 22S; and Proctor,
ia. The Herald adds: For the first
time since the caucusing began the
strength of the Bennington man is
below that of the combined vote of
Clement and Proctor. II is not at all
probable that Mccullough will regain
the position of leader over all in the
caucuses yet to be held

The first state election of the year
was held in Oregon Monday. The in
dications are that. owing to local and
personal reasons, the Democratic can
didate for governor was elected by a
very small plurality, but with this ex-
ception the Republican ticket will have
a majority of about 10000. The lines
were sharply drawn on imperialism in
the canvass, the Republicans taking
ground strongly in support of the ad-
ministration's policy in the Philip
pines, and against the obstruction
methods of the Democrats. The result
is the election of legislature strongly

Hon. William p. Dillingham; in the
United States Senate, and declaring
that the interests Of Vermont will be
best subserved by his reelection.
