STILL QUOTING MONT'S YER
DICT,

That those who tried to belittle the
from Il national point OF view were
wide of the mark is stu being demon
strated. The of the New
York Post on the verdict of our State
and the bearing on the congressional
contests in other states has already
been reproduced in these columns.
In commenting upon the outlook in
Maine United states Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts who has
been speaking in the Pine Tree State
says he can see no indications of n
landslide in the state. as is claimed by
tho democrats and in that connection
he Expresses the belief thai the result
Of the Vermont election is Significant"
Tho Bufalo News goes still further
and finds in Vermont's verdict a vindi-
cation of The national administration.
II says:
The most conspicuous fact about the
Vermont election is that the state sus-
tains the President. The effort to
swervc ii from the republican column
by means Of the nomination for COVER
nor of a d%isgruntled republican packed
by the democrats is a dismal failure.
The regular candidates for Congress
have swamped the coalition men run
ming against them.
The lesson of Vermont may be taken
to heart elsewhere. Even if the vote
for Mr.. Proctor is pulled down a bit, and
reduction shows how insignificant is
the democratic vote in these good
tines. and especially how determined
tn" people are to support the admins
tration at Washington.
1t is not difficult to picture what the
comments of outside papers would have
been if a majority of Nermont's voters
had accepted the advice of the Clemo-
Gratis, and had not sustained the Presi-
lent by electing the republican ticket

ITO FUSE OH NOT TO Fuse"

Now that the campaign Is ended and the
election in Vermont a matter of history,
It is possible to discuss certain things in
connection with the contest without any
suspicion tina. it Is being said for parti-
san effect, An effort was made TO make
1t appear that the FREE PRESS advised
democrats not to endorse Clement, but
we have always believed the democrats
could manage their own affairs without
our help, When the u~tterances OF other
papers were put in our mouth in the State
democratic convention and the arguments
put forth that democrats should endorse
Clement because the FREE PRESS was
arguing against such Il course. it was
allowable for us to chuckle. and we show
ed what the effect OF fusion would be in
our estimation. The Boston Post in the
light of the result of last weeks contest
expresses its opinion as to the effect OF
democratic endorsement OF Clement ana
It substantiates in the most emphatic
manner our opinion expressed after the
twin conventions in Burlington. The POST
says:
The chance which Percivai W. Clement
seemed TO have for election as governor of
the Statcrof Vermont as tho candidate of
independent republicans and democrats
vanishes utterly In the returns OF Tues
days election. Fusion has no attraction
for 'the voters Of that very conservative
State. Fletcher D.. Proctor Is elected gov
ernor by n vote some 5000 greater than
that cast for Clement. which becomes
the necessary majority by reason of tho
failure OF the prohibitionists and other
side shows to attract more than 1909 votes
The first inference from an analysis OF
the vote is that the democratic indorse
ment Of Mr., Clement scared off more thar
Il attracted to his support. His showing
at the polls is poorer than It was :oul
years ago. when he ran as an indspend'
ent against the field.
As regards national politics. Vernon Is
a negligible quantity. That State may b.
ranged alongside Arkansas as always SURE
for the same party. Arkansas voted las
Saturday, and nobody made any lccoun
( Of it. because it always goes one way, jus
like Vermont, The democratic majority II
Arkansas is about $1,000. rather large
relatively than the republican majority II

MOST OF TIIEIR VOTES FOR
PROCTOR.

The miscellaneous charges brought
against the Vermont Marble company
by the Clcmocrats in their political
extremity and desperation could not
have been moro thoroughly or more
conclusivcly answered than they were
at the polls last week in the town
Of Proctor. 1t is not necessary to go
into the details of the charges at this
time. Suffice to say an attempt was
made TO lead people to believe that
the employees at Proctor are dissatis-
which they nre treated.
The result of the ballot for cover
nor In the town of Proctor was the
casting of 454 ballots for Proctor and
only 25 for Clement, the votes against
the republican candidate being just
enough to show that those who want
ed to vote the democratic ticket felt
free to do so. Under these circum-
stances the large vote given Mr.. Proc
tor proves onCluS1Ncly ina tnc peO-
pie Of his own town appreciate his
work In their manifold interests, and
that they were glad to take advantage
Of the opportunity to give expression
to that appreciation. Mr.. Proctor has
every reason to be proud of this evil
dencc of esteem on the part Of his
townsmcn.
In this connection II is interesting
to note that the little town of Balti-
more in Windsor county according to
the official returns cast its vote OF
twelve solid for Proctor, AM thus won
the title to the banner town as re-
CARDS the per cent. of its vote given
to the republican ticket. The town Of
Bloomington in Orleans county should
be mentioned in his connection since
1T gave Proctor -. and only one to
Clement. a number of towns gave a
very large proportion of their votes
to the republican candidate, mo If re-
publican candidates for the Legisla-
ture had carried as many towns ms did
Mr.. Proctor, our democratic friends
would have been a mighty lonesome
lot in that body.

comprehensive knowledge Of the sit
%uation, as its remarks about Clements
failure to make good his scurrilous
charges shows, and yet 1t calmly pro-
duction Of the republican plurality to
something like 10000 is to be regard
cd as affording democrats throughout
all the states marked hope in the
congressional campaigns in other
States. Moreover tho Post bnses this
assertion on the unquostioned fact that
Vermont has almost invariably set
the pace for the country rs a whole in
connection with it's September cleo
ton.
1t is to be hoped that all Vermont
republicans will bear this fact in mind
hereafter, and remember that when an
appeal is made to them TO roll up n
big vote for tho sake OF its effect or
national politics, the paper making
the appeal is not indulging in hot air.
A mugwump paper which will argue
that the falling off in the republican
plurality in Vermont is an encourage
ment for democrats generally in a
year like this. with Clementism as n
side issue, would blow a double blast
on It's horn in n year when the issue
in Vermont was between republicans
and democrats alone.

The Rutland Herald says the fusion
lists spent s19,S69. Sc. not including all
that was spent in bringing fusion into
of humor remarks there is crying
need Of legislation on the subject Of

1t might be well in 1910 when the

be no possibility of spending s19,66a. 36
plus an unknown quantity to make

VERMONT AND NATIONAL ISSUES.

when we introduced the subject of
the effect of Vermont's verdict this
year on national politics. the Rutland
Herald lodged the question and charg-
ed that we were afraid to discuss
State issues, an opinion which we be-
licve 1t must have abandoned some
time ago. We have insisted that no
matter what local issues were involved
in our State campaign, the people Of
the country as a whole who have little
knowledge of political conditions in
our State would hall a marked falling
on in the republican majority as a
harbinger Of republican retrogression
throughout the country INT a bow Of
promise to democrats.
So intelligent a paper as the New
York Evening Post discusses the Ver-
mont election In the light Of " fairly

Some OF us do not stop TO think that
a number OF the western States are great
empires In themselves capable Of caring
for an immense population. 1t is an
nounced. for example, that Iowa's corn
crop this year will reach the s~tupendous
total OF 3s1, oC.NO bushels at least, and
with a favorable September the yield
may reach 4O, 0Oo. 100 bushels. This would
be q yield Of 3s,5 bushels 10 the acre.
This is indeed a bumper crop. and the
railroads will be taxed to transport it.

MORE TOURISTS FOR VERMONT.

Thu gratifying announcement is made
by the Central Vermont and Rutland
railroads that there have been more
tourists in the Green Mountain State this
summer than ever before. Indeed 1t is
stated that the hotels and boarding
of places available for summer visitors
were crowded and that it would have
been impossible to take care OF additional
summer visitors without the opening of
new hotels and boarding houses. One of
the railroad men says that ''all that seems
lacking now is a few large summer
hotels. when this beautiful State will en-
tertain as many people as any of the
resorts in the East"
The development of Vermont's tourist
business is a subject which oughL+ to re-
ceive careful attention at the coming
session of the Legislature. We believe
that ii is just as essential to the
prosperity of the State to devise ways
and means of attracting visitors to Yer
mont as it is to nave a board of agricul-
ture or even a cattle commission, for,
as New Hampshire has already demon
~strated, there are thousands of dollars
in the summcr visitor business. If our
State government only takes hold OF the
matter in earnest.
The railroads have elrcady taken COM
mendable steps to increase their business
IN this direction by extending their sea-
son, and with the Encouragement of the
a number of attractive summer hotels
there Is no reason why Vermont should
not secure her proportionate share Of the
summer travel to New Hampshire.
Maine and northern New York.
We have before us the published state
ment of the Central Vermont railroad re-
garding its extensive advertising in New
York, Brooklyn and various Connecticut
cities Of autumn excursions to the Green
Mountain State for one fare one way
plus one dollar for the round trip. these
tickets being on sale from September ID
and good to return until October 81. 1t
will be noticed that this arrangement puts
Vermont on a parity with the White
Mountain and Adirondack resorts, which
have long enjoyed the benefit Of similar
rates during the early autumn.
These measures, which are %undoubtcd-
ly duplicated by the Rutland railroad,
must mean the attraction of a host of
visitors to the Green Mountain region,
and II in different parts of the state We
had large ummer hotels like that on
the west shore of Lake ~Champlain, we
could add materially to the number OF
our annual visitors both summer N1d
autumn. 1t is to be hoped that the eifor,
OF the railroads to extend their tourist
season may be crowned with gratifying
success and that Legislature may soc
its way clear to UNNECESSARILY Increase
our tourist business and thus augment
the prosperity Of our farmers by afford
ing them larger markets for their pro,
ducts as well as the prosperity of tho
variety of cLasses of people who help IL
entertain and care for our summer anc
autumn tourists.

WHERE L DEMOCRATS ARE AT.

w . WV E4b
When fusion with a few Clcmentites
was proposed to the democrats by
lieutenants of the Rutland candidate
many of the wiser heads of the party
vigorously opposed the project, argu-
ing, with reason, that the effect in
his State would not be unlike that in
cratic endorsement of Horace Greeley
for the presidency in 1872. Less wise
counscls prevailed. however. and the
world now knows the direct result.
In order not to offend republicans
the Clementltcs induced the democrats
to omit from the ~latter's platform all
references to national issues and for
the first time in their history the Yer
mont democracy went through a con-
gressional campaign without Il single
declaration of principles regarding
national issues, and without a lone
some discussion of national matters so
far as we have observed on the part
of n single democratic speaker
throughout the entire canvass. The
fusion democrats Of Vermont not only
indicated to the young men of their
party that national issues could be
sighted with political immunity. but
they also taught their first voters how
to vote for a man who insisted and
even protested that he was still a re-
publican. 1t must be admitted that
+. ". Clement in the light of his party
nukes in 1902 and 1906 presents a
sorry appearance as n republican, but
We suppose there is no law to prevent
him from calling himself what he
chooses and even voting an occasional
republican ticket In the future. Demo-
In view of the plight in which he has
left them and after the smoke of bat
tie has subsidized they will probably be
glad to admit that they were led from
the paths of democracy by a wicked
republican.
The only hope Vermont democrats
had, according to private admission
in connection with the fusion move
ment, was that they would be able to
build up a strong organization of their
own through the aid of Clements
money.
Now the truthful Rutland Herald
says in its issue of September 6 that
The fusion account books show that
its expenditures from the day of Per
cival w. Clements nomination at Bur.
lington down to and including yester-
day were $l9,6G9 Sc"
This Is a large sum but 1t does no;
