CAN YOU GUESS WHO?

What prominent Vermont politician
did you think of when you read Pres1-
dent Roosevelt's criticism of "Ihe
Man with the Muck e?"-Randolph
Herald and News.
We hardly think it necessary to cali
the name of this individual. He Is
known from one end of the state 10
the other. He has been advertising
himself as''the only" man for govern
or of Vermont. In these advertise
ments he has tried to paint Vermont
as black as the BLACKLIST, yet that
blackness is only symbolical of the
dusky shade of the campaign this
same individual is carrying on. He
has charged the state and individuals
with every form of graft" and greed,
vet when authorities report on some
of the very points ''the man with the
muck rake" has hauled over, they are
found sound.
Report tells US that this man is
coming into the northern part OF this
state soon, possibly into this county,
with his "coon quartette," in the in
terests Of himself. We predict how
ever he will receive cold welcome,
the people of Orleans county don''
like "muckers."
We note the advertising space Of
this parsonage is being doubled in
some of the papers of late which de-
notes the final struggle preceding 6
peaceful death.
He built a great house, but ht
built it upon the sands, "and the rair
descended, and the floods came, ant
the winds blew and beat upon tina
house; and it fell: and great was thu
| fall of it,"
Our readers will pardon US if w
have used the rake in the above.

suffice for present purposes. Mr..
Clement will run independent; it is
the only way he can run. The name
of Fletcher D. Proctor will be the only
name presented to the next republi-
can state convention. The faithful
few among the democracy will hold a
state convention and nominate a can
didate, but one half or more of the
usual democratic vote will 60 to
Clement. In 1904, Bell, republican,
received 4S,115 votes, and Porter,
democrat, 1886; all others 1851.
Clement will secure most of the
"others'' and 10000 democratic votes.
That will give him a solid nest egg of
about II, 900 to start with. How many
who voted for Bell in 1904 are going
to vote for Clement in 1905? A few,
of course, but not enough unless there
is tremendous change in sentiment
to prevent the election of Fletcher D.
Proctor by substantial MAJORITY

CALIFORNIA RELIEF FUND.

st. Adams, Vermont, April 10, 1905.
The appalling doub:e calamity of
earthquake and fire that has DESTROY
ed San Francisco aud brought death
and destruction to the Golden Gate
city horrifes the hearts of the Ameri-
can people and arouses their deepest
sympathies.
The Red Gross is advised that 200,-
600 people are homeless and that food
and shelter ara greatly needed for
this multitude. The mission of the
Red Cross is to provide relief for the
afflicted and distressed in peace, as
we'll as in war.
California is the child of New Eng
land and San Francisco is the home of
thousands of the descendants of
Eastern families. Many Verm onters
reside within the district dayas, ated
by the earthquake and fire. lhey are
our kith and kin. Ruin and desola-
ton and loss of property and means of
livelihood stare thousandsi ia tho face.
The American National Red Cross
appeals for money to alleviate the
sufferers and provide means for their
immediate necessities and wants.
This appeal should meet with imms-
date and substantial response from
the people of Vermont.
Let the men and women of the
Green Mountain. state snow their
sympathy and generosity by con-
Irritating such a sum of money to this
California reIief-fund as will be cred
liable to the state and which shall
receive the gratitude of tn, stricken
people of San Francisco. The large
sum of money raised for the japanese
famine sufferers by the American
National Red Gross has commended
this organization to the confidence of
the American people. the work oil
raising funds for this purposs is now
in progress in twenty different state:

Reasons which are purely and
wholly personal compel me to state

My cherished ambition for political
preferment in the present is crushed
and dead and it is simply impossible
for me to take any active part in a
political campaign of this character.
Being thus circumstanced l cannot

how strong the bonds of unity which

Two of the most appalling disasters
in the worlds history will be recorded
on the page of records for April, 1905.
First came the mighty erupti of Mt.
Vesuvius il which hundreds lost their
lives and thousands of people were
rendered homeless while the property
loss is almost inestimable. Follow
ing this and only about a week later
comes the shocking news that one of
the most destructive earthquakes in
the annals of history has destroyed
hundreds of millions Of dollars worth
of property in San Francisco, with a
loss of life reaching into the thou
sands, practically sweeping that mag
nifcent 1city of the west eout of
existerce. Such is the mighttbf the
handAof the Creator, when in the
twinkIipg of an eye city is swept
from Che earth and a mountain
, thrown into the sea. The pen that

and the arm that writes will be an

CLEMENT TO RUN INDEPENDENT.

1t now seems certain that P. W.
Clement will be an independent can
didate for governor of Vermont.
Those who have kept close watch of
events have long been convinced that
such would be the outcome. Last fall
Mr.. Clement said in a signed state
ment that he was candidate for gov
ernor in the coming republican state
convention. His newspaper, the Rut-
land Herald, and his campaign man
ayers have stated repeatedly that he
would seek the nomination from the
republican convention.
Last week, however, an in6epen-
dent movement was started in Ben
nington which bears the earnarks of
inspiration from headquarters. Blank
petitions for signatures were sent
into every town in the state.

HENRY GAY,

Dear Sir: How easy it is to get things
mixed! This comes from our agents, Messrs.
B. Z. & G. W. Sickle, Rockaway, NJ.
A Rockaway man was going to paint two
houses, year ago, leadand. oil. They in
duced him to paint one DevCe,by agreeing to
bear any loss it might bring him.
One of his houses chalk ed-off and he called
for settlement.
The boot was on the wrong foot. Lead and :
oil is the chalker; not Devoe. It was a mis-
tase, not bunco.
If Devoe chalked-off as lead and oil does,
it would MT stand ghost of chance in the
market.
Yours truly,
