toward Mr.. DeBoer and are really
sorry this has happened. He may be

This spontaneous newspaper boom
for Mr.. DeBoer, who has previously
emphatically declined to be a candi-
date for governor. need not disturb the
friends OF Candidate Bell. They know
il is merely a case Of s.You press the
button we do the rest.-LSt. Johns
bury Caledonian.
Your insinuation is altogether
%groundless. Nobody is pressing the
button for DeBoer on such newspapers
as have declared for him. There is no
DeBoer machine, manager, retainers
or literary bureau. The movement TOR
him IS Just what it purports to bean
honest, sincere, spontaneous call Tor
him to lead.
Some men seeking office have a pc.
culidr idea OF the proper function OF a
newspaper. They seem to take it Tor
granted that the minute the bee begins
TO buzz in their bonnets, the news
papers are bound 10 assist in magnify
ing the echo. All that is necessary 10
secure the widest publicity is to send
out columns OF complimentary notices
and the papers will be glad to furnish
type-setters, type, presses, ink. etc,
gratis. Any wide-awake newspaper Is
glad to announce any mans candidacy
Tor any office Sc far as that candidacy
has a news value. II a candidate eX-
poets more than that. or STIMULATES
what particular kind OF COPY is 10 be
used, he ought TO expect to settle. His
communications then come under the
head of advertising, and a Legitimate
at advertising rates can be
made.-LBellows Falls Times.
And the reader ought to be informed
that the notice is inserted as advertis-
Inc, is paid for as such, and does not
represent the views of the newspaper
so publishing it. So branded. few
candidates would care to have it 90 at
which indicates how they like to
work the press and deceive readers.

VERMONT FIRES.

A fire occurred at the home of Hor-
ace j.. Bennett in SWanton at about 5
a. m. May s.. Mrs. Bennett was alone
in the house, her husband ana son hay
ing gone fishing. She was lying on
the lounge asleep when she vas sud
denly awakened by the dog licking her
face. Jumping mp she saw the room
was all ablaZe and she had TO jump
from the window in order to escape.
The alarm was given and efforts were
made to put the fire out but it had OBJ
tanned such Roadway that nothing
could be done and the house and con-
tents We're practically a total loss. The
FIRE is supposed to have caught from
an exploded lamp.
The Stetson House at Norton, ont
buildings and two houses adjoining
were destroyed by fire aboat ten
o'clock the night OF May g.. The in
mates escaped save Nellie May Pel-
letter, a girl l6 years old. whose char
red remains were found the next morn
ing. She was employed as kitchen
girl and it was her second night at the
hotel. The inmates lost all their per-
sonal effects. The fire originated in
the bar room, caused presumably by a
dropped lighted cigar or match near a
barrel of alcohol. The occupants of
the other houses saved nearly all their
belongings. There is some insurance
on the property but not sufficient to
cover the loss.

lind their own forces decreasing as

necessity Of leaving guards and garri-

hdently on Japan's inability to destroy

Unless there isa decided change in
pnbllc sentiment before the state col.
yention there will be a large number
OF u%npledged delegates at the nve
ton and a majority Of these are likely
to favor j, A. DeBoer for governor.
No one questions the ability OF Bell.
stanton or Clement to perform the dn-
Ties OF the Office in an acceptable man
ner, but there SEEM to be a disposi-
ton on the part of people from every

OF unquestioned ability who ia not an
active candidate for the office. Mr.
DeBoer Is recognized as one of the
leading business men, not only OF Yer
mont, but OF New England. and if
elected 70 the office OF governor with.
out solicitation on his part he will be
able to render mor efficient service
than will be possible for one who i
hampered by his obligations to the

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
just opened, calls to mind the fact that
for SIS, 000, 000-just about the cost OF
two modern battleships-the United
States peacefully acquired a territory
larger than any European country
save Russia, out of which fourteen OF
the richest states and territories of the
union have been carved. Not only
this. but an unwelcome neighbor was
swept out of the pathway toward the
Pacific, making possible the growth Of
the western territory along right lines.
1t was an investment of value beyond
all computation. For the purpose of
comparison, let it be stated that the
outlay on the st. Louis Exposition
grounds, buildings and equipments, not
to mention the exhibits, will be more
than three times as great as the cost of
the Louisiana territory in 1903.

We cannot q1ite follow the course
of reasoning employed by some of the
newspapers endorsing Messrs. Bell
and stanton Tor the governorship who
appear to hold that the Republican
party is bound to select one OF these
two men and cannot 60 outside for a
man like DeBoer because they are
announced candidates, while he is
not. Some OF these papers actually
argue that it is unfair to these two
aspirants, and that a grievous wrong
is being perpetrated in even consider
ing a third person. So far from first
principles have modern political
methods led. These questions may
%pertinently be asked: Who makes the
nomination? Who places a limit on
the field? What special plea is there
in favor of men who actively seek
Office above those who merely stand
ready to accept in case the honor is
freely rendered What right has
any candidate that is not based on his
party's estimate OF his particular tit
ness? What is there in Mr.. DeBoer's
attitude that is not consistent with the
very highest ideals of public service ?
What is there in the strong-and ap-
parently alarming-moyement for him
that does not entitle it to all the con-
sideration freely accorded to the can
didacies OF Messrs. Bell and stanton ?
In short, why must the party select
one Of these two men if, in its wisdom,
il prefers another?

If the two candidates now in the
field were in any way untitled for the
governorship Mr.. DeBoer might be
justified in trying to a the state a
humiliation, even at this late day. But
they are not. Either Mr.. Bell or Mr..
Stanton would make a governor not a
bit inferior to many men who have
occupied our executive chair.-[Bur-
lington News.
We believe this latter prediction is
true. No particular "unitness' in
either Mr.. Bell or Mr.. Stanton is al
legged, by those who prefer DeBoer.
There are probably a thousand men in
Vermont VINO would make governors
mot a bit inferior to many men who
have occupied our executive chair
OF these, two come forward, and it is
claimed that by this act they have
estopped the party from exercising its
high function of selecting. without re-
s%traint, the one man from its whole
number not only fitted, but the best
fitted, in every sense, for leadership in
the exigencies of this particular year.

In the state of New York, both the Democratic and

He is hailed by the Republicans as THE ONE MAN

Why is he the one man among the Republicans that
