MIR. Gibson's Platform.

If elected representative the seeur-
ing of amendments to the village char-
ter removing any doubt that the VII
lage of Brattleboro may own and con-
troll its own water system, and safely
finance the same, and the securing OF
such legislation as will protect ana
promote the interests of the community
and it's people shall have my first con-
sideration. | shall favor any leglsla-
ton which in my judgment will further
the welfare and prosperity of our peo-
pie. and the development of the Brat
tleboro of the future.
Protection of labor should be one or
the first considerations of the legisla-
tor. | am in favor of the passage of a
weekly payment law and shall earnest
" strive for it's enactment. Such a
law. however, should not apply to
farmers and the smaller employers.
The present caucus law should be re-
pealed and such legislation as Will
bring the full and free expression OF
the will of the people directly to bear
upon the solution of public question
and the selection of public officers
should be enacted.
| favor the passage of stringent laws
preventing rate discrimination by rail
roads, with proper penalty for viola
tions
I favor thorough investigation of
the evil of "double taxation" and the
enactment of legislation remedying
it: the continuance in force of the
present license-local option law with
such amendments as our experience un-
der it may dictate as advisable; such
legislation as will improve our high
ways and promote the extension OF
permanent good roads.
Under our method of raising money
to meet state expenses corporations
rightly bear the burden. I shall op-
pose the levy of any direct state tax.
I shall labor for legislation looking
to change of present laws relating to
the control of railroads upon basis
which will better safeguard the rights
of the people.
Such amendments to the fish and
game laws should be made as will the
better fit the same to local conditions,
and fully protect all interests con-
cerned.
If elected I pledge myself to vote
and act free from the influence OF any
man or set of men, corporation or cor
porate interest, for what | deem to DC
for the best interest Of all the people
If elected I desire to represent all the
people and pledge myself to give the
best that is in me to that end.

posed of 10 republicans and five demo-
Gratis as was the custom.
The only man who offered any OBJ.

HOW EDWARD E. ROSE DIRECTS.
Methods OF the Famous Producer Who
Is Drilling the Carolina Company.

II one Is possessed with the belief
that the stage Is n place where orig
inality predominates and the actor
with ideas Of his own has an advantage
over his fellow Thespians he should
spend half-hour watching Edward +.
Rose, the famous producer, conduct a
rehearsal. Long before the end of that
time the originality theory will have
vanished and the actor with ideas OF
his own will appear as presumptnous
as boy with bump. With Mr.. Rose
everything is made subservient to the
result f,s which he is striving, namely,
a perfect production from an artistic
standpoint. To him the actors are not
individuals with the desire TO make
mark for themselves; they are simply
parts of machine which is TO tell n
story to the public. Every word and
every act Of each member Of the COM
pany must help tell this story. II not,
il is cut out as useless
The company which will present Car
olina at the auditorium tomorrow night
has been rehearsing under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Rose during the past week.
Despite the extremely hot weather re-
hearsals have been held morning, af-
ternoon and evening. The play was
rehearsed in New York for several
weeks but il was put on with the seem
cry for the first time Monday. 1t is
extremely interesting to watch COM
pany at work under the eye Of Mr..
Rose. He sits in a front seat with
notebook in hand and as the rehearsal
progresses jots down changes which
he deems necessary to the success Of
the production. If line is wrongly
spoken or a gesture or entrance wrong.
ly made he at once stops the rehearsal
and explains how he wants 1t DONE
If explanation is not sufficient Mr.. Rose
goes TO the stage himself and gives a
demonstration. At the close of the
act he calls the entire company before
him and tells each member wherein he
has failed. In this way the production
is steadily whipped into shape.
Mr.. Rose apparently never loses his
temper but he is always watchful and
allows no detail to escape his attention.
His comments and criticisms are made
in such a way as to keep everybody
good.natured and yet there is no doubt
as to what his meaning is. He pos
sesses a remarkable vocabulary, and
the language in which some of his
"call downs are couched makes the
average newspaper man feel like
purveyor of words ds-of-one-sylable liter
ature. Mr. Rose is thoroughly inter-
ested in the first performance of Caro-
lima tomorrow evening. He has been
working strenuously to perfect every
detail, and believes the play will be
success from the start. And yet it is
not for him to say The verdict will
be given by the theatre-going public.
Brattleboro people seldom have the
opportunity to be first nighters" but
that chance will be given tomorrow
evening. 1t is needless to add that Mr..
Rose, Manager Miller and every mem
ber of the Carolina company are anx-
iously waiting the opinion of tomor-
row evenings audience.

voters of Brattleboro, to whom L look
for support, to tell them my position
on some matters of interest to the
town and state.
In the first place let me state most
emphatically that my position on pub
lie matters will not be influenced in the
slightest degree by any individual, of.
fee or institution. If elected | shall
work for the best interests of the town
] represent without regard to personal
feeling or party afliliation. | am free
to state that | believe in the election
of the fusion ticket as being for the
best interests of the state of Vermont,
and If chosen a member of the legisla.
ture | shall vote for Perciyal W. Glenn
ent for governor in case the guberna-
torial election is thrown into that body.
In regard to the local water situa-
ton, which / understand is being made
an issue in this campaign, / will say
that / am, and always have been, a
believer in municipal ownership and
think that the village of Brattleboro
ought to own its system provided the
same can be acquired at reasonable
figure. However, / am willing to sub
init the question of legislation relative
to this or any other important matter
affecting Bratteboro' s interests to a
meeting of Brattleboro voters regard
less of party, and ! hereby pledge my
self to vote on such legislation as the
majority desires.
am strongly in favor of a weekly
payment law and a rigid factory in
spection law to insure health and
safety and regulate the employment of
women and children.

NOT MADE FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.
Mr. Pope Refers to His Affidavit Regarding
the Beef Scandal

Editor Rutland Herald,
Dear Sir:-The affidavit concerning dis
eased meat which appeared in the Rutland
Herald August 18th, and which | swore to
in good faith, was not intended for the pur
pose to which it has been put and does not
appear as | understood it should. The fact
that the affidavit was not drawn up by my
self possibly might account for its not being
drawn as / would have drawn it.
But be that as it may, want to say the
affidavit is in error in so far as 1t states
that Auditor Graham said cattle condemned
as diseased, and paid for by the state, had
been sold by the state to the Swift Beef
Co. when it was known that the meat from
such cattle was to be placed on the market
after an inspection by competent veterin
arians Mr. Graham did not say that, and
neither did he say that such a sale was made
because of a belief that beef from slightly
afflicted cattle could be eaten with safety.
have nothing further to say in this re-
gard except that in making the affidavit my
interest was in no way political, but solely
for what l deem to be the public good. My
only desire was to aid in creating public
sentiment in favor of an investigation for II
charges that have been made are true
want to know it, and believe this is a COM
non desire of Vermont people generally.
As / understand the Vermont law it is
,ime to sell meat from diseased cattle for
food. II am right it certainly is up to the
proper officials to make an investigation, and
If this has been done to prosecute whoever
is guilty of doing it.
You will greatly oblige me by printing
this letter in the next issue Of the Daily and
the Weekly Herald.
Very truly yours
Perley E. Pope

Mr clement and the Direct Tax.

Percival W. Clement himself is au-
thority for the statement that there IS
absolutely no truth in the assertion
that he advocated direct tax in the
legislature of 1900. On the contrary
he opposed the levy of direct tax at
that session, and also opposed it on the
stump in his campaign of 1902. he
said then as he says now that with
proper management of state affairs and
an efficient auditing department there
is no need of increasing revenue from
any source.
