MILLER DOING WELL.
The barge made regular trips and
large number took advantage of this
facility and were enabled to vote and
get down street In a comparatively short
time. AT noontime the total vote was
over 200 more than last year AT that time,
and as Mayor Miller carried this ward by
a large margin and as the Democrats
which they fell behind in last year, II is
fair to assume that Mayor Miller will be
benefited by the increase.
The majority for Mayor Miller In Ward
was even larger than in the First ward
last year, and the Democratic party
claims II is holding its own there as well
as I'm the Third ward which Is Its strong
hold The voters were all I'm line despite
factional differences and the Republicans
can claim but small part OF the total.
From all the other wards the indications
point to a record breaking vote and in
the state ticket their seems 70 be a strong
leaning toward the Republican nominee
for governor, who will give Gov Garvin
a hard fight this year. according to pres
ent indications. II Is expected that the
result will he closer even than IL was be-
tween Garvin and Colt year ago, but
II Is rather early to tell accurately how
the tide will turn as the late vote after
the mills close for the night will do much
toward deciding the battle.
GREAT ACTIVITY.
There was great activity at the Republl-

ward committees kept in touch most OF

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND

The Significant Change in the Republi-
can State Platform This Year-The
Warning it Contains in View Of the
Experience Of Two Years ago
The Republican platform, as drafted
by Hon. O. NJ. Barber, a square and
straightforward man and an earnest be-
lever in local option, read as follows re-
garding the subject:
eve therefore recommend to the general as
sembly that, having been 30 amended as 70 give
force and efficiency to the fundamental prinei.

SAME BE FURTHER CONTINUED IN
FORCE"
In these words it was given out To the
press and 50 printed in the Montpelier
Daily Journal on the day of The Repab-
lican state convention with the evident
understanding that that was what the
committee on resolutions had agreed
upon. BY some process, whereof we
know naught, by the time the platform
was presented to the convention it read
as follows;
ave therefore recommend 70 the general as
sembly that this law be amended 50 as 10 give
force and efficacy 70 its fundamental pTinci.
pies"
That is, The promise that athe same
be further continued in force was
deliberately and purposely struck
out.
For what earthly purpose-ean any
one tell or conceive except that the
Republican party does not propose to
continue the law, but to leave itself in
shape where the unthinking can SO sup
pose until after election that # has prom
ised, but where IL can claim, after cleo
ton, that it is free to resort to tricks like
those Of the last legislature, with the
Battell bill, the referendum that it
planned To result III kick into the
empty air, the secret aaucuses to lay ans
bushes. and the series of amendments
designed to secure IFS rejection BY the
people
In future issues 0fsthis column we will
show BY official proof how, but for the
Democrats and Clement men il the last
legislature. no local option law would
have passed at all, but II it had been left
TO the Republicans alone, it would
have been killed by vote Of two or
three to one at different stages OF its
progress.
Then the intelligent freemen of Yer

so generally and 50 shamelessly violated
its solemn platform promise on this same
subject two years ago, is again TO be
