IN OUR OWN STATE.
PerciVaI W. Clement a Candidate
for Governorship

Says He Stands for Retrenehment In state
Expenses and Better Administration Of
Affairs.
Percival w. Clements public letter, adj
dressed to the Republican voters and citi-
zens Of Vermont, which appeared in the
Rutland Herald Of Friday, was as follows
II have been asked to be a candidate
for nomination for the office of governor
at the next republican state convention.
The time seems now at hand when 1t
is fair to my friends to state my position.
l answer to the question, Yes, / am q
candidate
do not care to enter into a purely per-
sonal canvass for the governorship. but
IL my views on state affairs which are
fairly well known, meet with the approval
Of the voters, should consider 1t an honor
to be selected to carry them into effect
so far as Vermont governor can.
AS result Of discussion and investigf-
tion we are upon the eve of q complete
change In the business methods of our
state departments If this change is
penses and a better administration OF
state affairs will naturally follow. No
private corporation would for a moment
think of adopting the Vermont plan of
transacting its business. When this
change was first suggested 1t was ridiculed
III SOIne QudTleTS, Out now l1e QUESTION ~
how best to effect remedy
The large amount which would be an
nually saved to the state when a proper
system Of purchase, supervision and ac
counting Is inaugurated, will be available
for internal improvements, and 1 know
of none which can be made with greater
benefit to all classes of citizens than a
system of permanent roads, opening up
our mountain regions to the main thor
oughfares Of travel,
l believe the local option license law,
which prohibits when the people so vote,
or brings in n revenue II the people so
elect, should be retained and perfected.
1t is not my ambition or purpose to build
up or foster any political machine; but, II
am nominated and elected, shall under
take to give the state business admins
tration and the taxpayer a square deal.

s4s lnJured-Flre Caused Explosion In
the MAGAZINE.


s4s InJured-Fire Caused Explosion In
the Magazine.
The Japanese battleship Mikasa, Ad-
miral Togos flagship during the battle
Of the Sea of Japan, caught fire and sank
Monday. The loss of life by the sinking
Of the Mikasa totals 500 officers and men,
including detachments from other war
ships which went to the rescue. The
navy department stated this afternoon
that the battleship caught fire from an
unknown cause, at midnight Sept. 10, and
before the fire could be subdued the flames
reached the after magazine, which ex-
ploded blowing hole in the port side of
the battleship below the water line, and
causing her to sink. The cause Of the fire
is under investigation.
A later despatch to the authorities in
Washington places the number of dead at
256, with 343 wounded, and these figures
are more likely to be correct than the
ones first reported. The accident took
place in the harbor Of Sasebo, the Jap
anese naval base. Admiral Togo was alb
sent from the ship at the time.
The Mikasa was a first class battle
ship of 1920 tons displacement. She
was built in England and was launched
in 1902. The battleship was 400 feet
long had 16, 431 indicated horse power,
giving her a speed Of over IS knots. She
carried a crew of 935 officers and men.
At the battle of the Sea Of Japan the
Mikasa was the heaviest loser of all the
Japanese ships having SO killed and
wounded. She approached nearer to the
Russians than any other battleship.
The Mikasa was also the flagship .
Admiral Togo after the great naval b,
tie fought off Port Arthur on August 10,
1904, on which occasion the Japanese
battleship suffered the most, but con-
h. Gw;,, hot
the Mikasa had four officers and 20 men
killed and six officers and 20 men
seriously wounded and four officers and
20 men slightly wounded.

Hundreds Killed by Earthquakes In italy

The effects of the earthquake in Italy
were more disastrous than at first report
ed. Dispatches to Rome from the south
give ever increasing lists of dead and in
juIed, the numbers now running into the
thousands, Martirano alone shows 2200
casualties, while at Pargholia the number
of dead Is estimated at 800 and at Lap
polio 200. Many persons are still en-
tombed in the ruins in these and other
districts and touching scenes are enacted
when bodies are recovered and identified
by grief stricken relatives. In some
cases whole families have been wiped out.
The greatest agitation continues among
the populace. Slight shocks Of earthquake
are felt occasionally and subterranean
rumblings are still heard. Those persons
still possessing homes refuse to enter
them.
Although the worst is regarded as over,
further slight earthquake shocks Sun
day caused additional terror among the
afflicted inhabitants of Calbria. The dam
age, however, was insignificant, although
the disturbance affected a more extended
area reaching Reggie and Naples. The
activity of Mount Vesuvius increased,
while the violent eruption Of the ancient
crater on the island OF Stromboli is still
in progress.
