DEAR GOVERNOR:


Hyde,Park, Vt.
DEAR GOVERNORS:
During the many years of your vaf-
liable political and commercial service
to the state of Vermont you have
gathered about you large number of
personal and political friends. An
effort now seems to be under way to
break down and destroy the Republi-
can party, in which you have always
been a gallant and aggressive leader.
Various rumors have been circulated
as to your attitude in this campaign.
That personal argument and contro-
versy over the question may be set
tied for all time, are you willing to
state your personal attitude in this
campaign, for publication in the Gale
DOMAIN?
Thanking you for an early reply, / am,
Very truly yours,
ARTHUR F. STONE,
Editor of the CALIFORNIAN.
HYDE PARK, VT,
July 10, 1906.
ARTHUR F. STONE, ESQ.,,
st. Johnsbury, VT.
FRIEND STONE:
Answering yours of 18th, inquiIing
as to my position in the present po-
litical campaign, say that am Re-
publican, not Fusionist, and if any
rumors have reached you tending to
show that / am an ally of those who
would disrupt and defeat the Repub-
can party of Vermont, it is matter
of sincere regret to me. / had sup
posed that my political record was
sufficiently good to negative, unqual-
ifiedly, any such aspersion upon my
political character.
Political parties are absolutely es-
sential to the proper and judicious
administration of public affairs, both
state and national, and only for the
strongest reasons-such as corruption
or manifest unfitness, and these rea-
sons certainly do not to-day exist
in Vermont-should party lines be
broken down or party nominees de-
serted.
/ am proud of the fact that have
never aided or allotted the disruption
or defeat of the party of my lifelong
choice-the. party which has many
times honored me-ani will not be-
gin now. 1t will be time to turn our
backs on the Republican party when
there is some slight shadow of reason
Tor doing so. l shalt support the Re-
