Would Clement think of coming into

Would he think OF contesting against
Stanton or Bell That depends
[Brattleboro Phoenix.
The Hardwick Gazette says Stanton
is gaining strength in that section about
as rapidly as an ice cake in July. The
Barre Telegram says Bells boom is
conspicuous by its inconspicuosity
There is a lingering suspicion that both
are about correct Middlebury Reg
lister.
Hon. Zed S. Stanton OF Roxtury was
in Hardwick this week, coming here
as an attorney in a chancery case.
There is one thing certain, and that is
that Mr.. Stanton isn't losing any flesh
nor any of his geniality on account OF
politics. He looks contented as may
be- Hardwick Gazette.
The necessary stimulation has not as
vet been administered to the political
situation in Vermont and the people
are commencing to wonder what will
be the outcome. DeBoer is the man
the people want and DeBoer they will
have if there is any possible chance.

The next Republican state conven-
ton will number 72S delegates. If
they are all there, it will take sos to
nominate. Now let the mathemati-
clans get their pencils sharpened.
Work it out by algebra, calling Per-

[St. Johnsbury Republican.
Speaking without prejudice, we be-
lieve there has been no time in the his
tory of the Republican party in Yer
mont when the office OF governor
sought the man as il seems to be seek
ing DeBoer. If those who are urging
his nomination are sincere the absence
of response on his part should serve
only TO make the call louder.-rBrat-
tleboro Reformer.
Spontaneous? Rot The people as
vet have taken no hand in the selec-
ton of candidate for governor. Per-
haps they may and if they do they win
not select DeBoer but win name G. j.
Bell OF Walden, a man decidedly of

quaintances, throughout the state. by
