CANDIDATE PORTER'S RECORD

Eli FL. Porter, the Democratic nominee
for governor served in the legislature of
1892, 1900 and 1902, and in every
one of them has been ranked by the
reporters at the press table as among
the ten leaders of the house. In
1892 he was on the committee that
framed and carried through the bill for
the town system of schools, and was
recognized as one of the leaders in that
hard fight. He also led the fight that
resulted In the defeat of the scheme for
the removal of the county seat-a
scneme IN support of which Mr.. Haskins
and the nearly solid Republican politi
clan phalanx of this county were
united. They We're not thinking of Mr.
Rorter as little fellow, AFT that time
Porter introduced at this session aIso +bo
DILL which passed, changing the bour for
opening the polls at state and no+;o,,oI
elections. He and T. J. Boynton mo
pared and drafted the license bill Of tbs+
year which Porter got Mr. Clement. as a
Republican, to introduce, and for which
| the latter has always had the credit.
When Porter reappeared in the house
in 1900 he was made member of the
committee on rules and also of the com
mittee on banks. At this session he in.
PRODUCED his valued policy insurance bill
and carried it through the house. but
it was strangled in the senate. He was
the only speaker against the SALARY
grab" bill and the Buffalo exposition bill
both of which were defeated.
In the 1902 session he was chairman
of the general committee. as well as of
the committee on final adjournment and
the committees on rules and on banks.
Mr.. Porter's record at this session is too
recent to need rehearsing; how he in
PRODUCED the bill to increase state
revenue by additional taxes on corpora
tions to the amount of Sl0S.076l5-
how by the aggressive fight made the
Republicans were driven to forego the
imposition of any direct state tax, for
the first time in history-how he vigor-
ously supported the Bundy bill for re-
duction of state expenses by 5000, 900:
two measures that if they had passed
would have made a difference of from
"a to S. to each Vermont family-how
he opposed the scheme of the bar associ-
alton and pretty much all the lawyers
to boost the salaries of the supreme court
judges up to $4,000 a year, and with a
telling speech defeated the bill-how he
re-introduced and made gallant fight
for his valued policy bill-how he
was member of the Democratic caucus
committee that framed and presented
/ the local option measure, which. except
| ing for defects that were forced into II
| by its opponents. is the present Law
and how he has always been on the firing
| line.

Dangers of CIeveIandfsm.

Free silver was only threatening
neriI from which the election of Nc
Kinley saved the nation. Free trade
was the road to ruin from which his
election diverted the national course
The election of 1896 saved the United
States from Clevelandism no less than
from Organism, and Clevelandism is a
peril into which the people are not
likely to fling the country in reaction
from Organism. The threat of Bryan
SIN has not obscured the dangers of
Clevelandism. The people have had
full experience Of the miseries pro-
iuced by the latter and do not feel
encouraged to bring them on again.

doubtless under orders from President
Roosevelt has within the past fortnight
attempted to break the force of this
non partisan exhibit by issuing a state
ment showing that the cost of food, at
retail prices, has increased Is per cent,
while wages in certain selected employ
ments, have increased l6 per cent.
The Vermont farmer should note well
the significance of this best showing the
Republican Policy can make for itself.
Food, generally speaking, is what the
farmer sells, and when even at retail
Jrices, it has advanced only Is per cent,
it means that the cost of what the
farmer has to buy has increased far
more than the 80 per cent which the
whole average shows.
AS to the alleged increase in wages.
laboring men know better-the opera
tives at Fall River VINO are striking
against reduction that aggregated %
per cent for the same period. the men in
Chicago who are striking against a re-
duction to less than II IL cents per
hour from the Beef Trust that has again
and again raised prices upon consumers.
while cutting them from cattle raisers.
1t may be, and doubtless is, true that
in particular industries, where the Lab
Unions have been able to control. there
has been the wage increase the Admin
istration claims, but for the labor of the
country at large it certainly is not true.
The simple truth is, from every pos
sible way of looking at it, that the
Trusts are plundering the country, az it
was never plundered before.
In future issues in this column we
shall show how there is complete and
sure cure for the Trust evil in a return
to simple Democratic principles.
And how the Republican cure-pre-
tending, after building them up by
wrongful stretches of Governmental
power. to knock them over by another
stretch of Governmental power-is pure
humbug, was never intended to be any
thing else, has amounted to nothing
as in the case of this very Beef Trust,
against which the Roosevelt Administra-
ton got out an injunction year ago;
has anybody ever heard that this Trust
was hurt by it?-and under the laws of
business can never amount to anything.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
LOCAL OPTION
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. @. M. Barber, square and
straightforward man and an earnest be-
lever in local option, read as follows re-
garding the subject:
"We therefore recommend to the general as
sembly that, having been so amended as to give
force and efficiency to the fundamental princi-
pies upon which the law itself rests, THE
SAME BE FURTHER CONTINUED IN
FORCE"
In these words it was given out to the
press and so printed in the Montpelier
Daily Journal on the day of the Repub-
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 to the general as
| sembly that this law be amended so as to give
force and efficacy to its fundamental princi-
pies"
That is, the promise that "the same
| be further continued in force" was
deliberately and purposely struck
out.
For-what earthly purpose-can any
one tell or concieve-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 it has prom
ised, but where it 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 in a kick into the
empty air, the secret caucuses to lay am
bushes, and the series of amendments
designed to secure it's rejection by the
people.
In future issues of this column we will
show by official proof how, but for the
Democrats and Clement men in the last
Legislature, no local option law would
have passed at all, but if it had been left
to the Republicans alone, it would
have been killed by vote of two OF
three to one at different stages of its
progress.
Then the intelligent freemen of Yer
mont may decide whether a party that
so generally and so shamelesslv violated
r its solemn platform promise on this sam,
subject two years ago, is again to b.
f trusted with a promise that is no prom
I Use, but on its face is proven to be
tricky substitute for one.

WHAT 1T MEANS FOR EACH
FAMILY
What II Pays and How for the Luxury
of Big Republican Majority and Gross
ly 0ne-Sided Partisan Misrule

In 1882 Vermont State
expenses amounted, for each
average family of 1910
persons, to 1916 l-2
In 1903 Vermont State ex-
penses had become to the
same average family $10.52 2-3
Difference that each aver
age family pays 1910 10
And let no family, and no voter to
whom the appeal is made to help anoth-
er and bigger Republican majority this
year, imagine for a moment, that he es-
capes paying it; for it is the nature OF
t,xes to inevitably distribute themselves
in rents and prices, so that there is no
man, however poor, but shares the bur-
den in his living expenses.
And let him not imagine that he is
getting anything in return for this
1915 l-6 extra he is paying annually;
for neither he nor any human being can
point out anything that the state gets
in return for it all but waste, extrava-
gance, useless multiplication of offices
and commissions and abandonment OF
Home Rule methods.
If he likes it and wants more of it
he can surely get it by continuing tc
help roll up Republican majorities.

And Each Family's Bill for Imperialism
The Plutocratic powers thought the
Philippines would be a great exploiting
ground for them. Hence ~the policy
under which the American people have
been shamed by seeing their govern
ment shoot to death the first Republic
ever established in Asia.
Well, up to date, about 100000, 900
or some $50 for each average family
has been spent in the process.
The added exports to the Philippines
have in the past six years been possibly
$5O,OOO,OOO, of which perhaps S., OOOO 900
was proft-in other words $lOO expend-
ed to get 81.
The only difference is that the 500
comes from the people and the ST goes
to the Trusts.

Closely akin to these state issues are
the great and paramount issues of the
National Campaign-the Trusts and
Imperialism. John Moody, author of

and the recognized, authority on such
subjects, in his work, ''The Truth About
Trusts" published last winter, reports
their aggregate capitalization as follows:
Franchise Trusts $3.50. .S3,375, 456,07l
