"Wanted, an Honest Man.

Last weeks advertisement of the
Clement Literary Bureau has elected the
following letter to the Burlington Free
Press:
Editor Free Press:
Somebody is advertising for an honest
man.

We may expect most anything alter
what has happened.
But should it prove true that Mr.
Hindley is the Diogenes of the twentieth
century we should give him welcome
among US. He will not be handicapped
as was Dlogenes OF years ago. We have
come on some since the DAYS of a rag

Are we to infer from Mr.. Hlndley's ad.

he tails to name the constant candidate

Just where Mr.. Hindey slept when he
dreamed that our native population was
making mad haste to the cities and that
foreigners from the stamping grounds OF
Diogeues were peopling our homesteads

But this really doesn't matter.
Let us aid Mr.. Hindey all we can in
his search tor an honest man,
We cannot very well turn to Mr.. Hind.

name him as the honest one.
So we must look elsewhere.
But hold
Isn't Mr.. Hindley that honest man?
We believe the nail is hit.
We have found the honest man in the
very searcher for honesty.

our commonwealth.
All hail.

That Open Letter to E1r. Proctor.

For real genuine assumption the
Clement Literary Bureau "open letter"
asking Mr.. Proctor series OF questions,
is at the head oil its class. If there are
scattering few who for any reason what
ever have followed the bureau produc-
tions, they need not be told that the
contents OF this open letter is a baking
from the same old ground, and reground
grist, with new upper crust to make it
taste little better. But where does the
assumption come in? Let us see. Bro.
Hindley, a newspaper man, is employed
by Mr., Clement, man who most des-
perately wants to be governor OF Yer
mont. To further his interests Mr.. Clement
sends him abroad to contract Tor space
in the newspapers so that Mr., Clements
views OF Vermont's political arena, his
ideas OF men and things in general can
meet with satisfactory explanation.
The Clement Literary Bureau has ap.
pealed and begged for support. 1t has
kicked and cuff>d the repubI can party
1t has accused the common people Of
being bound, tied and laid on the shelf
ready for delivery to the bosses. 1t has
through it all assumed that Mr.. Clement
was Moses in Israel-a Joshua who
could lead the down trodden over to
possess the promised land. But this
assumption pales in the presence OF the
last out put Tor in this is an open letter
to Mr.. Proctor subscribed "Vermont's
Plain People" II Mr.. Hindley was the
whole push in this campaign, common
people" wouldn't be so tar fetched, for he
is one OF US.
But Mr.. Hindley operates the Bureau,
both be and the Bureau stand for PERCH
val w. Clement. Therefore, il there is no
assumption, Percival W. Clement and
Vermont's Plain People are identical.
No one, so far as the CALIFORNIAN has
observed, other than MIR. Clement has
had or expressed any particular desire to
have Mr.. Proctor express himself on a
halfd, zen long since dead and buried
issues. The last pose OF Mr. Clement as
"Vermont's Plain People" is exceedingly
funny. When did Mr.. Clement arrive at
the dignity OF "Vermonts Plain People ?"
However, Mr.. Clement, il you have ar.
rived and are really here with US,
whether you came atoot or horse back
pass out your home hand, Welcome

In political forecast in the Essex
County Herald Editor Bishops says.
"Oreans county feels certain Of leading
Windham and Windsor counties in the
friendly tilt for the second place on the
ticket" We believe Mr.. Bishop is not
only prophet but the son of a prophet.
Mr.. Prouty has conducted his campaign
on high plane and is receiving hearty
support from all over the state. The
youpg man in politics is going to win out
on the state ticket next month and the
best part Of it all is that the contest has
been friendly one.

In a recent tour oil Vermont for one OF
the Boston dailies the canvasser found
60 out of the 40 post offices where no
daily paper was taken, and in one place
the people did not hear of the assassina-
ton OF President Mckinley until FIVE days
after the event occurred. In this instance,
and possibly in others, the community
was perfectly satisfied to pursue the even
tenor ofits way without the daily news
from the outside world. And who knows
but what they were more contented in
the enjoyment Of the simple life than the
average resident of larger community
whose life is beset with vexations and
petty annoyances.
