burned at the state today.
The men were chained to 4 large stump.

around them and ten gallons OF Kerosene

Editor Times - Your report or the Pro.

not have represented me as expressing
any preference for Mr.. Pape, but saying
that il we must have license man to rep.
resent the city, he would be no more OBJ
Jectionable than the Republican license
men already mentioned, or we might add
that may be mentioned. The Prohibition
party men vote no license for the city but
do not like the Republicans who vote no
license ln the city, vote for the license
policy by voting the Republican ticket.
Ii is impossible to vote the Republican
ticket without voting for the license pol
ICY, as that policy ii the declared policy
OF the party Ia its state platform this
present year, and whoever votes any par
to's ticket votes for the policy Of thst par
ty. Il IS equally impossible to vote
against license IN Vermont this fall ex.
cept by voting the Prohibition ticket.
The Times was correct In Its editorial
that said II man believed In Prohibition

The Prohibitian prohibitIonists believe
IN total abstinence for the individual, no
