Attend the Caucuses.

1t ought not to be necessary to remind
the republican voters that it should be
their first duty to attend the caucuses
this week, and yet some have to be
reminded every year because OF their
seeming lack of interest in the affairs of
state. Under our form of government
the citizen can make his influence felt at
the primaries more than at any place,
and it is not only his duty but his priv.
lege as an American citizen to register
his vote in this way.
Voters OF Vermont, let it be your first
thought to attend the caucuses this week
and participate in the proceedings by
your presence and your vote.

A Clement Convention Called.

The formal call for an independent
state convention was issued from Rut-
land Friday, to be held in Burlington on
June 28. At the meeting to arrange for
the call there were present representa-.
tives from ten counties out of the four.
teen in Vermont, and plans for the
independent campaign were discussed in
full. The apportionment of delegates is
based in a measure on the Clement vote
In 1902, with such additions az are
found desirable by reason OF the petitions
which were received in support of the
Bennington Idea"
According to this apportionment there
will be 1877 delegates, if all attend, and
caledonia county is given 80, divided as
follows: Barnet /; Burke 2; Danville 2;
Groton 2; Hardwick 4; Kirby i; Lyn.

St. Johnsbury's Candidate for Sheriff

Our readers do not need to be told that
". H. Worthen of St. Johnsbury is q
candidate for high sheriff, but we feel sure
they will be interested in knowing a lit
tie more about the man and his public
service.
He was born in Barre in 1861 and
through boyhood resided for ten years in
McIndCes. Later be lived in Newbury
and was educated at the old Newbury
Seminary. From Newbury he moved to
Hardwick where he was engaged in the
livery business for a short time. He came
TO St. Johnsbury from Danville 10 years
ago and has resided here ever since. He
has been deputy sheriff for the past II
years and for ten years keeper of the
county Jail.
For ten years he served as a deputy
sheriff under the late Lorenzo Sullowav,
who was recognized as one Of the most
Efficient sherifs in the state OF Vermont,
and Mr.. Worthen, all of this time, has
continued to profit by his experience un-
der so worthy tutor. He is thoroughly
conversant with all the duties incumbent
upon the office.
Mr.. Worthen's friends here and else
where believe he would make frstclas
sheriff and we expect he will carry the
st. Johnsbury caucus and win out at the
county convention.

Caledonia County's Candidate.

For State Treasurer, Col. Charles ".
Ruiter OF St, Johnsbury.
When the CALIFORNIAN mentioned his
name with some other candidates few
weeks ago, it was very iavoraby re-
ceived in this section, and then came the
unsolicited assurances of support from
II all sections Of the state.
II The contest has now developed into
friendly rivalry for the nomination be.
tween the St. Johnsbuty candidate and
two Washington county young men.
The chances OF ultimate success are
largely in favor OF Col. Ruiter, as he is
the only one OF the trio who is practical
&nccountant, and therefore well-6tted by
gears of training to handle the states
financial business, which amounts to
considerably over million dollars q
Near.
III Col. Ruiter was born in Holland in
Orleans county in 1866, educated in the
y Common schools there, and was grad.
nated from st. Johnsbury Academy in
khe class of 1885. Soon after this he
Entered the Merchants National Bank Of
81. Johnsbury, beginning at the lowest
ound OF the ladder, and rising by sue.
essive stages to the position of cashier,
which place he has held for the past 10
Fears. Under his guidance the bank has
been successfully managed, and it is
g generally regarded as one OF the leading
Is financial institutions of northeastern
&. ermont. Col. Ruiter is an active mem.
Der and former vice-president OF the
orthern Bankers Association, which
Excludes all the banks of northern Yer.
nont and New Hampshire.
I'D He has always identified himself with
pc interests of the republican party
ough too busy in the bank to take ar
ctive part in politics. When Hon. !. G
acCullough was Governor he served a.
de-de.camp on his staff, thus widening
Is acquaintance throughout the stat
nd adding to his ever-increasing circl
friends.
If Col. Ruiter is nominated and elected
ate treasurer be will prove worth,
hccessor to Hon. John L. Bacon, WIFI
hs given Vermont an excellent bushes
1ministration. His selection for thi
nportant office would be an honor t,
Pc county which has never furnished tn
Eate a treasurer, and under his cor
ryative management the finances

Economically managed, and it's iunt
hiely guarded. Here's success to Cal

Railroad Rates with some sideIights
ON Politics.
Your paper daily gives accounts OF the
Efforts OF many governors to assist Presi.
dent Roosevelt in terreting out crimes
against the people by railroad and other
corporations, but what about Vermont.
1t is about year since an investigating
committee found that the railroads were
charging the state of Vermont a higher
rate for coal freights to Waterbury than
they were charging other parties for a
longer haul to Montpelier. For the
same kind OF violation of law in other
states suits have recently been brought
in the courts and the criminals punished
after hearing by the interstate commerce
commission.
What occult reason exists why tn,
same course should not be pursued il
Vermont.
Our esteemed governor seems to b
i inactive in this respect, though so vigor
, GUS in Others. But this is characteristi
of Vermont so far as corporations ar
: concerned. But there have been notabl
e exceptions. About 1887 soon after tn
y interstate commerce law was enacttC
i the Boston & Albany road found tina
the Vermont roads were making secre
cut rates from Massachusetts to tn
t West-both ways. They entered con
o plant to the interstate commerce con
n mission and hearing was appointed t
