buildings in business Center,

The insurance rates In the congested
district of this city have been increased
by the New England insurance exchange
20 cents on every 800. or one-ffth OF
one per cent. This increase is made in
common with an increase in all the
larger cities in New England. Burling-
ton and Rutland are the only two cities
in Vermont to be effected.
The district in this city covers the terri
tory between the lake front and
Winooski avenue and from Pearl street

farther south than Main street. The

A CLEAR SITUATION.
(From the Ludlow Trlbune)
Mir Clement has slmpifcd the political
situation and made it very clear. He has
demonstrated his ambition to become
governor of this state and his utter dis
regard of party lines or regular methods
in the effort to crafty that ambition
Disinclined to make square fight with
in the party prior to the meeting of the
convention, take his chances of success
in the convention. and abide by its YER
dict. he has cut loose and decided to
run Wild" relying upon his arrange
mont with the opposition party for votes
enough to put him into the governors
chair The situation, we say. is made
very clear and no voter need have any
trouble In understanding It. There will
be no throwing of the election into the
House this time-the choice will be de-
terminod by the people at the polls in
September
Tho Tribune believes In the right of
any man to aspire to the governorship,
provided he Is qualified for that posi-
ton. 1t believes in fair, square polit
zeal contest and in in a nomination made
as result of such a contest, in a con-
Vention composed Of delegates whose
business 1t Ia to work out the will of
the majority which chose them. 1t does
not believe that II great number of the
voters have any use for desultory or
guerrilla methods, and It expects that
this attempt on the part of Mr.. Glenn
ent to secure the govcrnorship by irreg-
uiar and somowha. unique means will
fail by a substantial margin. It is not
improbable. however. that the develop
menis of the canvass will prove bene-
hclal to the State at large by stirring up
the dominant party ana arousing it to
n more complete realization of its re-
SponSihlity. When the battle shall have
been fought. and the smoke shall have
rolled away so that we can see clearly
over the field. fusion may prove to
have been somewhat OF a blessing in
disguise

lergetic and eminently successful business
man. of legislative experience and famili-
iarty with conditions and needs of govern
nrntal administration in this State. 1t
| is a statement which will stand scrutiny
and criticism.
| Up to the present the campaign has
been one of undertaking, waged largely
by one side alone, and Nermonts back
yard has been hung full of old clothes,

/ Haunted on high.
/ The advocates of Mr.. Proctor. having
faith in his manhood and intelligent pur-
pose, and of his record have been con-
tent to await the due development Of af-

! With Mir. Proctor's formal declaration,
and with his candidacy standing upon
a party platform equally explicit and pro-
grcssive, it is time to move forward.

pator to show how his ideals are supc-
rior to those of the Republican party of

Icomplish great good beyond the power
of that party: and why republicans should
forsako their own progressive platform
