would be only fair and proper to make
a suggestion ard not he so silent retaining
the valuable knowledge in secrecy. There
are good candidates In the field to-day
and the chances Of some are considered
of the best but there is a possibility of
new ones whose chances would be almost
even when we consider the fact that the
situation is at present In a primary con-

active candidates are gathering delegates

VALUABLE HISTORICAL PAFEKs.
(From the Rutland Herald)
The original records of the Vermont CO.
lonial conventions which were found
among the manuscripts in the congress
sional library last summer have been Ith-
ographcd and published with an histori-
cal Introduction by senator Rcdiield Proc
tor. 1t is proposed to lodge the originals
in our state library. If an arrangement
can he made with the government. Tic
volume Is i'm folio size ard will be of
value in any historical library. The State
was very careless with its early records.
This is true OF many of our towns also.
Hundreds of manuscript volumes con-
tanning original Vermont documents are
deposited in the Albany library, and the
recovery of tho records at Washington
should be followed by n renewal of the
effort started 10 years ago to buy or OBJ
tain possession as custodian of the Albany
collection.
Thc history of the discovery of the YER
mont convention records Is briefly this:
Lawyer A. S. Batchellor of Littlcton. y.
H., informed Judge Jonathan Ross last
year that he had seen in the congressional
library the early Vermont convention rec
ords Judge Ross passed the Information
over to Senator Proctor, who has taken
some pains to clear up their history.
These sheets were cut out OF an old ac-
count book OF Or. Jonas Fay. They were
evidently stolen and possibly sold TO tho
government. Fay was secretary of most
of the carly conventions. The senator
has been fortunate enough to recover the
account book from tho widow Of u. y.
Stafford. which will he presented to the
Vermont Historical library. The next ster
will be to obtain from the general gov.
eminent the sheets that were stolen and
to have them restored to their original
places in the Fay hook, Can't. Joseph
Bowkcr, who presided at most OF these
conventions was a Rutland man. He is
buried at Centre Rutland, but his grave
is unmarked.

CLEAR AS A BELL
(From the Manchester Journal)
A correspondent writes the Bradford
Opinion: Seriously. I would advise the
solid farmers of Vermont to nominate and
elect one OF their own number as Cover
ror, n man who besides being a farmer
who works with his hands and not with
his mouth or a typewriter. understands
the duties of the Office and the needs of
Vermont from top to bottom and who
also has q level and well balanced head.
Have you heard of him? This ought to

| VERMONT"S POPULATION GAINS
(From the Barre Times)
Vermont has maze some gain in popula-
| ton since the last census in 1900 albeit
| that the increase has not been very large.
| But there is a slight consolation in know
| ing that the State is making an advance
| in this respect. and IL not at standstil
| as it was for decades in the century
| just passed. The special census bulletin
| issued at Washington Thursday gives the
estimated population of Vermont as 49,
| 0D7. in June, 1908. According to the census
Of 1900 the population was 343, CAL making
a gain of 3,36S in three years. If the same
ratio is kept up for the remainder of the
| decade, Nrmont's population will have
| grown considerably over GOD. the largest
increase since 1870 The greater gain
was in the larger cities, Burlington show
| ing an increase of l.2l5. Barre is not yet
credited with 10000 population. but it is
| likely that the largest percentage of in
| crease in the State was in this city.
