In three counties, Rutland, Chitten-
den and Washington, fusion county
tickets supported by Democrats and
local optionists were successful az the
polls two years ago. This year there
is no fusion in Chittenden county and
everything promises the election OF the
straight Republican ticket. Rutland
county has no actual fusion. but the
Democrats have nominated on their
ticket two local option Republicans for
senators, also a Republican for
states attorney. The latter and one Of
the senatorial candidates were unsuc-
eessful suitors in the recent Republican
county convention. BY accepting
places on the Democratic ticket under
such circumstances, they viii thorough
ly read themselves out of the old party
and if they persist in this course they
are better ont than in. The straight
ticket viii be elected. OF course. In
Washington county steps are being
taken to secure fusion. A meeting Is
to be held at Montpelier today-which
is also the date OF the Republican
county convention-of those favorable
to fusion. There seems no excuse
whatever for such action this year.
While to the Democrats it means all
the difference between a possibility Of
something and a certainty Of nothing.

Rev. j. A. Dixon, the militant Meth

wick in the last assembly. declines the
prohered honor of reelection. Dix
on is an ex-British sailor and bright as
a dollar. Despite his radical views on
temperance legislation, he made many
friends by his bluff open-heartedness
and sincerity. He was ever ready for
a friendly tilt. We recollect one pas
sage at arms between Mr.. Dixon and
Father O'Sullivan that created a mo-
ment's tension. In replying to the lat
ter's argument on a certain measure,
Rev. Dixon questioned some state
ment made by him rather pointedly.
In a flash the handsome priest was on
his feet. his face burning. "Does the
gentleman dare to insinuate-n be
interrupted. Celt faced Briton priest
glared at parson; Democrat dared Re-
publican. The situation was most
uncomfortable for a moment until Mr..
Dixon made laughing disavowal and
the st. Adams member subsidized.
The least trace of intolerance did not
survive, and frequently thereafter
these two members discussed together
their mutual disagreements most ami
cably. When Mr.. Dixon met with the
loss OF his wife by death it was the
Catholic priest who moved the vote of
sympathy.

Rose also sent a statement to Car

DEFENDS JAPAN's CENSORSHIP

Baron Hayashi Says Secrecy Is Absolutely
Necessary for His Country Now.
London, Feb. 29.-In reference to the
severity of the censorship exercise by
the Japanese government over the
news dispatches of foreign correspond
ents Baron Hayashi, the japanese mln-
lister to Great Britain, said to the As
ISOLATED Press: Il have had numero az
representations from English and other
newspapers upon this SUBJECT, but 1 be-
lieve that our position In the cas- is
not only right, but viii be admitted to
be such by those. who look carefully
into the circumstances.
I'VE are fighting against numerical
odds which are quite out OF proportion
to the odds against any combatant in
recent vars. We r fighting for ou-
existence, and our only hope Of main
tanning it is to strike swiftly and Sc
cretly at the beginning. To get in the
first blows ear more to us than, L
think, it even meant to any belligeI-
ent, and to ensure this it is vital for
Us to demand a degreeof secrecy which
had not been necessary in any recent
warfare.
Even at the risk of alternating
temporarily the friendship of the press
of the world we must prevent even a
whisper of our real intentions reaching
our powerful enemy. Before war was
declared 1 knew that our military au-
thorities had decided that our censor
ship must be nor rigid than ever be-
fore attempted. One line would have
ruined our first attack on Port Arthur
-one line might ruin our projected
land operations"

Togo Reports the "BottIing" Experiment

London, Feb. 29.-The Japanese le-
CATION here has received from Toxic
a copy of the official report of Vice
Admiral Togo on the attempt to bottle
UP the Russians in Port Arthur the
morning of Feb. "a. The report is a
graphic narrative and describes how
the crew Of the Hokoku and Jansen
fuses and then took to the boats with
a loud cheer, but it adds nothing es-
sential to the former report. The crews
did not all get back to the fleet. some
of them landing or the Miano Tao ISL
ands. whence they made their way to
Cheefoo. The crews were all from the
navy, and not from merchantmen.
