ALL THREE ARE CONFIDENT.
Messrs. Crosby, Fits and Gibson Sure
OF Getting the Nomination.

The last week OF Brattleboro's town
representative campaign, which VIII
culminate in the republican caucus
to- morrow afternoon and evening, has
been characterized by the hardest
kind of work on the part of the three
candidates, and at the present writ
ing each seems confident of victory.
Who the winner VIII be is really as
much of a question as ever but ap-
pearances point toward a sharp con-
test. Il. c. Crosby, who appeared TO
be trailing the bunch last week, has
been making astonishing gains, ac-
cordng to his supporters, within the
past few days. one of his political
managers said this morning: Mr.
Crosby will go into caucus with 335
votes that we are sure of +. w.
Gibson on the other hand, has not
been making such strides If reports
that come from his camp can be taken
as evidence. The solid support of the
local option faction will not be be-
hind him now that the other two cam
ddates have come out so openly In
favor of retaining the law, and the
report that Mr.. Gibson not so many
years ago was a democrat, whether
true or not, is not working beneticially
in his behalf. C. c. Fits has been
"laboring like a major during the
past week and expresses himself as
confident of victory. His opponents,
however, say that Fits stock" has
slumped anywhere from five to ten
points and will be down in the neigh
borhood of ~. 5. steel, common by
s o'clock tomorrow evening.
The caucus win open at 2 o'clock
porrow afternoon and voting will
continue by ballot until s o'clock to-
morrow evening. 1t is safe to predict
that an exceptionally large vote will
be polled between those hours.

No Teams for Mr.. Crosby.

To the editor of the Reformer:-
l desire TO say a word to my friends
through your columns. Inasmuch as
three candidates for town represen-
tative at the republican caucus are
all republicans and believing each
candidates support should be volun-
tary and without the tactics usually
employed in elections between parties
of different political faith, hereby
give notice that l shall not hire or
employ teams to bring voters to the
caucus, either directly or indirectly.
shall esteem 1t a favor if my friends
come and vote for me and use such
reasonable efforts toward my nominal
ton as may seem best to them and
also see that there is a full represen-
tation of voters at the coming eau

Mr.. Gibson and the Issues.

To the editor of the Reformer:-
So many statements have been
made through the press. by means of
circular letter and public statements
concerning myself and my attitude
upon issues of the day, which are in
accurate and misleading, that l beg
the privilege of making some state
ments, that no voter may be misled.
Referring to the letter signed "A
Republican Voter" in the last issue
of the Reformer, the statements con-
tained as far as they relate to me, are
inaccurate and in some instances un-
true. Ny name as candidate for Sc
lectman was placed on the official
ticket without my knowledge or con-
sent. No one but the writer of that
letter ever heard that l was candi-
date for postmaster. or for reporter.
The statement of my position in
regard to the weekly payment issue,
contained in a circular letter signed
Sanford A. Daniels, is not true. l am
in favor of a weekly payment bill, APP
plying to payments by manufacturing,
quarrying and railroad corporations.
Such law should not apply to farm
ers or mechanics.
| shall. if elected resolutely follow
my own ideas of legislation without
dictation from any corporate inter-
ests, or those representing them. l
am not in any way attached to, or al
lied with any railroad or other cor
poration, so that l cannot faithfully
legislate for the interests of the peo-
pie. As a general rule corporate in
terests can take care of themselves.
Legislation is needed to protect the
laboring man. l am in favor Of and
shall work for sane legislation, look
ing to strict control of corporations.
ANY statement to the contrary is un-
fairly circulated and apparently stu
diously so for campaign purposes.
Very respectfully,
e. W. Gibson.
