Gov. Guilds Statement Of Vital Prin-
cinIa

Gov. Guilds Statement Of Vital Prin-
cple.
Gov Guild OF Massachusetts gave in
detail, in a written decision, his reasons
for refusing to interfere in the case of
Charles L. Tucker, the condemned MUIR
deTer of Mabel Page of Weston. This
decision showed that Gov. Guild had
studied with great care all the details Of
the case, and that he was fully satisfied
Of fuckers guilt In his closing para
graph he said
"Of more importance than the life of
any one citizen is the protection by gov
ernment OF the life of every citizen, is
the safeguarding of woman's chastity In
the lonely farmhouse as well as in the
patrolled streets Of the city, is the as
surance to the people that the ordered
action Of their courts is to be respected,
and that irresponsible agitation cannot
be substituted for law and order In this
commonwealth"
1t is fundamental principle of our
social fabric which Gov. Guild states so
succinctly in these closing lines-the safe
guarding Of the life Of every member OF
every community, and the maintenance OF
a proper respect for the orderly, deliberate
and unprejudiced action Of our courts. II
is this vital principle which our Vermont
legislature has entirely forgotten or over
looked when IL has nullihed or overrid-
den the action of our courts in so many
murder cases in recent years. ,

.HINSDALE MAN MISSING
William H. Lyman Last Seen in
Warren, Mass, June 7
He Was Formerly Travelling Salesman
for Dunham 5rothers-Mental Conditions
May not Have Been Normal.

He Was Formerly travelling Salesman
for Dunham 5rothers-Mental Conditions
May not Have Been Normal.
william II. Lyman, about 90, a highly
respected resident of Hinsdale has mys-
teriously disappeared and the members of
his family and many personal friends are
greatly disturbed. 1t is feared that he
has become deranged, as he has not been
in good health the past several months
and events are now recalled which indi-
cate that his mental condition has not
been normal. Mr. Lyman was formerly
proprietor of a shoe store in Hnsdale,
later was travelling salesman for Dun
ham Brothers, but for more than year
he has filled similar position for the
Haynes-Sparrell company of Boston. On
Tuesday of last week he went to Green
field. intending to visit small towns in
that section and to return home Saturday
night. His relatives. becoming alarmed,
communicated with the firm by which he
was employed and found that nothing
was known in the home office of his
whereabouts.
]. H. Wetherbee of Hinsdale started
Wednesday on a search for Mr. Lyman.
He found that he visited Greenfield as
intended and went to Amherst, but could
get no trace of him beyond that town,
where he was seen Wednesday. Mr.
Wetherbee has since been to Warren,
where Mr.. Lyman had relatives, and to
Athol and other places where he regu-
larly visited customers. He carried on
his person means of identification. He
was a man of excellent character and
good habits. His home had been in Hins-
dale about 20 years. His son, William p.
Lyman, is employed in w. o. Amidon's
store and he has a daughter, Nellie May
Lyman, who lives at home. Mrs. Lyman
died several months ago. Some of her
relatives are members OF the family cir
Gle. Mr.. Lyman was a member of Cold
en- Rule Masonic lodge Of Hinsdale. In
formation received at The Phoenix office
this (Friday) forenoon is to the effect that
Mr.. Lyman was seen in Warren, Mass,
on Thursday OF last week. He took no
samples with him and as business was
dull simply intended to call on his regular
customers in order to keep in touch with
them. and he seems TO have followed out
his plans as far as Warren.

Reasons for J. II. Merrlfeid's Nominal
burlington News.l


In speaking of the t-governor-
ship nomination The Brattleboro Phoe-
nix says "Three names will be pre-
sented for the -governorship.
and John H. Merrifeld who has asked
no mans support, is picked as a winner"
The News is inclined to agree with The
Phoenix. We have looked the field over,
watched the progress of the canvass and
inquired as much as possible regarding
the sentiment of the people and we be-
lieve that John H. Merrifeld will be NOM
mated. There are several reasons for
this. Mr. Merrifield is not and never
has been an Office seeker. He is there
fore a rare man and the people like him.
They have chosen him to office over and
over again, but he has always been
elected on account Of his merits and not
because he has urged anybody to vote
for him. In short, he is a man whom
the people delight to honor. In his busi-
ness affairs and in all his conduct in
and out OF office Mr. Merrifeld has al
ways been conscientious and honest No
man can charge him with wrong. The
only weakness charged against him is
er-conscientiousness. He always wants
to do the right thing. II that is a fault
in these days OF commercial and polit-
ical dishonor; in these days OF a pur-
chased franchise, purchased legislators,
purchased courts; in these days Of in
surance stealing. of railroad rebating and
OF Beer Trust frauds-In these days OF
these horrors we are looking for men
weak enough to have a conscience; hon
| orable enough to do their plain duty;
| square enough to give every man and
| interest a square deal.
John II. Merrifield is a typical Yer
monter OF the days when honor was
greater than graft, when the good will
OF ones neighbors was better than Of
flee and money was not a god. II there
is no charge against Mr.. Merriheld ex-
| cept that he has conscience we predict
that the Republican convention will nom
mate him by acclaim for an Office which
he is thoroughly well fitted to hold-ar
office, which in his modest and quiet
way, he will honor

The Bennington Banner has discovered
that the reason lightning never strikes
twice in the same place is because there
isn't enough of the place left for II to
hit again. The same thing is true in
politics.-[St. Johnsbury. Republican.
The above is the observation Of Gov.
Bells secretary OF civil and military af-
fairs after emerging from the cyclone

he was hit politically when he was elected
governor or when he ran for Congress?

Col. Haslins has been the recipient of
many honors in his long career in public
life. but the vote in the caucuses of the
Second district Saturday was the greatest
tribute ever paid him. 1t shows universal
recognition in the district of his faith
fulness to his constituents and of the
high place he has won in Washington,
where he has had an important part in
shaping legislative measures of great
importance to his state and his country.

Bennington County for MIR. MerrIfieId.
IBennington Banner.1

The Banner has interviewed delegates
from several towns in the county to the
state convention and finds that most of
them are in favor of the nomination OF
Honest John" Merrifeld for lieutenant
governor and 1t is likely that he will
have the bulk of the delegates from this
county. Windham and Bennington
counties have often stood together IN
contests Of the kind and they will add
credit to themselves and TO the state
by again voting for so fine a man and
ideal candidate.

A Board with the Funds.

Brattleboro believes in a board of trade
for revenue as well as booming the town.
Perhaps booming and revenue go hand in
hand. The Brattleboro board collects a
$40 membership fee and has annual dues
OF SIS. 1t expects to have board Of
200 members on that basis A board with
$4,000 in It's treasury at the start ought
to accomplish something.

The basis OF agreement on the state
hood bill is that New Mexico and Arizona
shall vote upon the question of state

expected that the vote of Arizona will be
against joint statehood and the agree
ment is therefore virtual victory for the
anti-joint statehood men in Congress.
