Depies the Statement.

Thad NJ Chapman, chairman of the
republican state committee, has re-
ceived from n. G. Williams, president
of the Vermont Farm Machine Co., OF
Bellows Falls, the following letter
which explains itself;
Dear Sir:--My attention has been
called to an article being published
in the democratic columns of Yer
mont papers which is headed, A Con-
crete Illustration for the Vermont
Farmer. The following is stated III
that article:
when Mr.. Mandigo of Bellows
Falls went to the Vermont Farm Ma
chine company to order a butter print
for n friend he was informed that the
price was $40; ordering it shipped to
Derby Line and mentioning that the
friend was in Canada he was told
that if he could guarantee that 1t was
TO go into Canada he could have 1t at
the price they sold in Canada, 81
There is no truth in the above
statement We have no butter print
ers priced at so. never had any such
and our prices in Canada are the
same as in the United States. That
statement is in keeping with good
many other statements made in the
democratic columns and there is no
shadow of truth in it.
Very truly yours,
Vermont Farm Machine Company,
n. G. Williams, President.
Aug. %, 1904.

es,ubliean Misrule Reviewed.

A rouslng democratic rally was held
Mt Barre Friday night, Aug. 20 T. W.
Molonev of Rutland and L. W. Red
ington of New York being the speak
ers. Mr.. Moloney reviewed repuph-
can misrule in Vermont when ne
maintained had resulted in conai-
ton of affairs which would be al
lowed in no other state in the union,
and declared that voters should De
Vermonters first and that our primal
political duty is to our own state. ne
discussed among other things the
town system of representation where
nv glastonbury with population OF
AZ could have as much voting power
in the legislature as Barre with one
of 10000 and showed how the repub-
licans perpetuated this anuquated
system that they might the more
easily keep in power, since democ-
racv Is the strongest in the large CEN
tiers. He pointed out that the repuo,
licon marty in Vermont has exempted
the richest of the corporations from
aHl local taxation, giving double TAX
alton TO all the rest, since they alone
have To bear the burden of support OF
local institutions. that the state ex-
nenses have doubled in the past 8"
wears while the value Of state farms
has decreased s3O000,000, so that the
farmers have more to pay ana less
with which to pay it. Mr., Redingtoh
address was upon state issues.

Barre Nenro,s Terrible Fall.

The escape of William Bailey a
negro. of Barre, from instant death
saturday afternoon, Aug. p, seems
almost miraculous. He fell % feet
from a staging on the new Elm street
schoolhouse and was badly bruised
ali over his body and suffered several
scalp wounds, but no bones were
broken with the exception of his right
hand. He has good chances of reeov-
cry. The man landed partly. on nus
head and partly on his back in pile
of bricks. The accident was caused
by the slipping Of a rope with which
some workmen were drawing up
granite window key. When the work
men vent down they expected to pick
mn dead man, but the negro was
very much alive and warned them
not to touch him. He finally gave in
and allowed them to take him TO the
hospital.

The Political situation-A Republi'
can Rally Tomorrow.

The town representative fight In
putney promises 10 be interesting,
as II seems that there VIII be four
candidates In the field.
The republicans held their caucus
after il was too late TO get the name
printed on the official ballot, evil
IDENTIFY having no knowledge that the
law had been changed In 1898, SO In
stead OF having to file nominations IL
days before election ms IL formerly
Was, the statute now provides 10
days TO be the limit fOr so doing A.
NJ. Corser was the nominee OF the
caucus.
The socialists have agreed TO run
j. w. Shelley as their candidate, ne
being substituted for a, j. Aver who
declined 20 run on account OF not be-
Ing able to leave his business in
event OF election.
There seems 20 be a disposition
amongst many republicans 10 vote
for +. l.. Houghton In spite OF the ac-
ton OF the caucus and he viii get
large number Of votes as he has many
friends who think he would represent
the town is as creditable a manner
as any man I'm the party.
Henry Crawford will undoubtedly
receive quite vote as his friends afe
hustllng for him.
with four candidates in the field II
seems likely that there viii be no
choice on the first ballot and II seems
10 be anybody's fight.
The thing that complexities things
most Is the factor of the socialist
vote. as Il is likely 10 prove larger
than many people suppose.
Voters are reminded that the ballot
for representative and FOR justices OF
the peace win bear only the usual
heading and they win be obliged TO
write on the ballot simply the name
Of the candidates for whom they de-
sire 10 vote.

The state board of health investigat-
ed the conditions of St Adams last
week. Dr. H. D. Holton, of the board,
said that many of the public buildings
were simply outrageous, and in case of
fire they would be nothing less than
death traps. The same was true of
several of the school buildings that
had then been examined by the board.
He further declared that it was a
crime to allow such a source of dis
ease and contagion to exist as what
is known as the Stevens brook and
wondered that the local board of
health would allow it.
