Early during the present Freslden-
tial campaign it was charged that
Mr.. Watson, the pOpulist nominee
for President, would toe notified OF
his nomination publicly in New York
CITY with view to attracting dis
gruntled Bryan Democrats. AZ the
same time it was charged that he
and his party we're inspired 60 make
this demonstration with this end IN
view 10y Republican campaign man
ayers and in aid of Republican inter
ests in New York State. 1t was also
charged that the Populists in Nav
York were we'll heeled with campaign
funds in that State and that expenses
for their notification display were
paid from Republican Headquarters
There seems little doubt, in tie llshE
of Subsequent events. that these ac-
cusation are true. Mr. Watson
knows, as we'll AS anybody else does
that he stands no chance OF election
and that his party will not carry a
single State in the Union, aud indeed
that the organization OF his disgrun-
sled followersis growing weaker year
by wear. In view of these facts ana
in view OF the fact that Mr.. Watson,
nominee OF this defunct organization.
in his speech OF acceptance and m
every speech he has made subsequent
thereto has addressed himself unre-
mittingly to abuse ofthe Democratic
nominee and she Democratic party
and praise OF President Roosevelt
there can be little doubt that the
POpulist party, and especially It's
nominee for President, is an ally OF
she Republican organization, not
honestly and openly, as it was OF the
Democrats in 1896 and 1900, but
nevertheless an ally. Is helped so
bring defeat to the Democracy on
both occasions when it was the ally
of that party, and it will no doubt
contribute 80 Republican defeat this
year. The Populist party is the old
man of the sea in politics. and If 1t
once gets astride OF the neck OF any
other organization, it is apt 70 sap
its vitality and bring it to defeat

Both houses took adjournment this
afternoon until tomorrow morning.
When Clerk T. C. Cheney of the House
and Secretary w. K Farnsworth
checked up their books at 10 o'clock at
night to ascertain the condition the legis-
lature was in, they found the commit
tees crowded with work. Out of 4S4
bills introduced in the House, 1928 have
passed that body and 235, or almost half
| the total number, were still in the hands
of the committees. The committee on
| corporations had 36 bills, game and fish
cries 26, temperance IS, judiciary IS,
highways % and claims II. Only -
Senate bills were in the House commit
tees hands. The number of Senate bills
introduced was l46, of which 10, or one
half, were still with the committees, to-
gether with dollhouse bills. The Senate
has passed 80 bills and killed 20. Such
congested condition has not existed for
long time I'M any legislature With not
over ten working days left before
Thanksgiving, and one-half of the bust
ness of the session still in the committees
hands, it would appear impossible to get
through in that time without ruthlessly
slaughtering many measures.

session in the afternoon and evening 90
ing through the license law as rapidly as
possible.
Witnesses examined in the state prison
ase before the investigating committee
today were Wallace A. Hutchinson of

The st. Adams Messenger cordially
congratulates Governor Bell upon the
good sense he displays in taking the
people into his confidence in the matter
of executive nominations sent to the
senate for confirmation. There have
been governors not so very long ago
who thought or appeared to think that
it was none of the peoples business
what nominations were sent to the
senate in their name. Governor Bell
reasons wisely that he is making exec
utive nominations in behalf of the people
and that the people should know what
choice he makes for them.

The amendment offered by Fits of
Brattleboro to make a definite time for
all licenses to expire has decided merit.
If a college or school needs a new
building and cannot afford it, apply to
the state If a town wants aid for its
highways, present the claim to the
state. 1t somebody has doubtful bill
for services that the auditor wouldn't
pass, carry it up to the Legislature. If
public officer learns that some other
state pays larger salary than Vermont.
by all means let the case be presented
to the lawmakers, whose judgment is
always tempered by generosity the
kind that is over free with money not
their own.-Randolph Herald.
This is something very like a sting
ing rebuke to the rabid eagerness of
the present legislature to spend the

the most binding messages to economy.
