He said that the Independent move
ment started from the people. He con-
tinued by saying that a certain newspaper
called The Brattleboro Phoenix which is
antagonistic to him. recently printed a
statement that our Independent move
ment came from the common people, the
blaciSsmiths, the farmers, the mechanics.
Now, they meant It for a slur, but / don't
care what they intended II for. The very
fact that it did come from the common
people is just where we get our power.
-tBarre Times, report of Mr.. Clements
speech in Barre.
II Mr.. Clement is correctly reported
and we have no reason for questioning
the accuracy Of the Times-he has gone
beyond the point Of Misrepresentation
and is simply lying in the effort to boil
ster up his cause. The Phoenix has said
absolutely nothing to the effect that the
independent movement came from the
common people," The statement to
which Mr.. Clement referred did not con-
tain the words common people," farm
ers" or mechanics" Mr Clement is
affronting the intelligence Of the conn
mon people" both by what he says and
by what he does not say in this cam
paign.

the railroad commission that Il had al
ways been the desire of this company to
furnish all the information possible from
its records; that "its system was very
small and its system Of bookkeeping does
not go into detail as that Of the large
roads does" and that it cannot fur
nish the information in regard to the
freight. This man, who is charging that
the accounts OF the state are not kept in
from them, cannot keep the accounts OF
his little railroad so as to furnish the or
dinary information which the railroad
commissioners require.
Mr.. Clement has denied on the stump
this week that he has a secret" rate for
coal. The Republican speakers have re-
peatedly challenged him to show the
books, freight rate schedules and freight
vouchers of the Bristol railroad which
are under his control, from the time he
became president of the Rutland rail-
road. These will tell the story. Let him
meet that challenge and show these pa
pers. Then the people may know whether
that rate is secret or not, for 1t is
charged that he cannot show that he
ever paid the regular rate for hauling
coal for himself or his railroad. The peo-
pie of the state have a right to know
what freight rate he has been paying. II
show them in a minute. II he is not
ready to show those rates he is not
worthy to be governor of Vermont

Bennington county is the Clement
stronghold of the state, and the editor Of
the Bennington Banner. who has been
making a study Of the political situation
In nine of the IA counties Of the state,
would naturally like to carry cheering
news to his home constituency, but his
observation gives him the opinion that
"Mr. Clements canvass has slumped bad
ly during the past week and his strength
shows signs OF disintegration in many
parts OF the state" He adds:
''The reason seems to be lack Of or
ganization, a lack of local leaders and a
feeling among the more conservative Of
those at first inclined to his support that
he is failing to prove his case. To hold
until election what strength he now has
Mr.. Clement needs more speakers, more
money spent in legitimate canvass and To-
cal organization and more active cooper
alton among his supporters especially in
the small towns.
''Mr. Clements attack on the present
state school and state highway tax sys-
tenn and his demand for electing repre-
sentatives TO the general assembly by dis
tricts rather than by towns is soaring on
the voters In the small towns without any
corresponding gain in the larger places.
'It is nearly four weeks to the election,
plenty of time for many things to happen
that might effect the result, but just now
in the opinion Of the writer, the tide is
setting strongly against Mr.. Clement"

Letter to Durham Brothers,
Brattleboro, VT.

Dear Sirs-How did you get your busi-
ness? Wen tell you how we got ours.
You sell shoes, we make paint; perhaps
we can do a good turn to ourselves, you
and we. by swapping experiences.
We began 152 years ago in a little shop
few minutes walk from where we are
now; a great many things have happened,
we don't remember them ALL We made
as good paint as we could and learned to
make better. We are the Oldest now;
we don't know whether we had any
teacher or not; it's so long ago; IL we had,
he's gone and forgotten. We should have
been forgotten, If We hadn't made good
paint and friends. ar4t
You buy your shoes; you have an ad-
vantage in that; II you make mistake,
you can stop 1t quick; II you make hit,
you can push It quick We've had to go
Slow it's hard to pick-out ones own
mistakes, and nothing but fun TO correct
the mistakes of others.
You know where to go for leather that
keeps it's shape, feels good, looks new,
and wears a long time. What a comfort
It is to be comfortable from making ones s
customers comfortable
We also have unique advantage
unique, you know, means that nobody
else has anything like it, We make a
half the cost of painting your house, and
it's like that leather Of yours for wear.
1t is all paint and the strongest Of paint.
Paint Is usually adulterated and weak.
We're very old but We make young
paint! one gallon is better than two, II
It has the stun in 1t.
Yours truly,
r. w. DEVOE & co.

The Clement movement would not seem
to be booming TO any great extent in
Wells River and Chester. Fusion rallies
which were appointed to be held in those
places Tuesday evening did not come of
because there was no one there to hear
the speakers.
The Republicans of Chester held the
largest caucus in the history of the party
in that town Wednesday evening. Out
OF q total of about 300 voters 1856 were
present. L. e. Sherwin was nominated
for representative.

1t is understood that when Rollin
Childs gets settled down to business as
the manager of Mr.. Clements campaign
in Windham county the rallies will take
the form of experience meetings. when
the participants will relate their expert

life insurance policies, and the exercises
will open and close with his Hymn for
Wage Farmers" written by him for these

Gov. Folk, the Missouri reformer, has
a new scheme for securing good roads.
He will ask the next legislature Of his
state to pass a law taxing the retail
liquor interests for the benefit OF the
public highways. His plan is to have a
direct state tax of 5000 levied on each
dram-shop, the fund to be used to build
two great highways across the state, one
from Kansas City to st. Louis and one
from Iowa to the Arkansas line.

COAT OF PAINT SAVED BANK.
Clever Device Stopped Run That
Would Have Been Disastrous.

Runs on banks, as all the world
Knows, are often stopped or restricted
IN the oldest ways.
A rich bank knew that a run was
to set in ON a certain Monday morn
ing-for 1t had been robbed of some
postage stamps on Saturday night,
and the robbery had been exaggerated
in the newspaper reports-and If this
run was not kept within reasonable
limits the bank would have to close
its doors. 1t had plenty of money, but
not plenty of cash. 1t needed "A hours
time.
Before sunrise on Mondi morning
man put fresh coat of paint on the
front doors Of the bank, on the wall
panels, and on the counters. The re-
suit was that the people who made
the run on Monday made rather a
walk of 1t. They wanted their money,
but they rushed no one. On the con-
trary. they came on with caution and
elaboration. So careful were they
lest they get paint on their clothes
that 1t took longer to pay off one OF
them than it would have taken or
dinarily to pay five.
This is one of many odd tricks
whereby, in run. bank has saved
itself from wreck.

NERVOUS DEBILITY
4 Scranton Woman Tells How o.
williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Stronc.

Nervous debility is the common nams
Tor what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
nts Of the Hblues, OF melancholy, loss
OF energy and spirits. The patients eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane ]. Davies, of No. 314 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: Some
years ago ! became greatly reduced In
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that I felt
wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as was when !
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was a pain in
my right side which was worse when
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then I
decided TO try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
Tor Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now / have no more
pain in my side, no more headaches,
sleep well and feel strong and able TO
do my work"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt Of price, 90 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50. by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co.. Schenectady, NY.
