l.. J. Phelps) in the House? TO talk
about the offices to which a .ew of Mr..
Proctor's supporters were elected in the
dozen years following that election, as
| rewards bestowed by party boss, Is
the vericst drivel. It simply shows the
desperate straits to which Mr.. Clements
bureau is reduced, for material for his
literary campaign.
The intelligent voters of Vermont know
that they have no more been bossed by
Senator Proctor than they were by Sen
ators Morrill, and Edmunds-that Is not
at all. The party has not, and has not
had, any boss. No party o. any State in
the Union was ever freer from boss rule
than the Republican party Of Vermont.
To maintain the contrary is to fly in the
| face of all the facts. The ctatc might
get a boss If Mr.. Clement were to sue
coed in breaking up the Republican party
of his State; but 1t will have no boss
when Fletcher Proctor is elected COVER
for next September nor during His term
of office, nor after its close. The Repub-
lean party of this State is not breaking
up. nor have it's members lost their mem
cries or their wits.

QUESTION or MONEY sTRINGENCY.
A banker of the Mississippi Valley. in
a recent address, revealed how much he
has yet to learn, however skilful he may
be in discounting notes or judging the
credit of his local customers, by saying
that he observed that money stringency
was confined to about fifty acres, which
comprised what Is known as the Wall
Street district But the Wall Street dis
trict Is the financial heart of the nation.
If there be money stringency here in
these days of publicity, the telegraph and
Treasury cooperation, then 1t is certain
prevail elsewhere, or else is caused by
the attempt to relve embarrassmcrts in
other parts of the country.
The lankers do not believe there will
be serious money stringcncy this Fall.
The very promise of extraordinary crops
Will. in its moral effect, tend to prevent
such stringency. Furthermore, the bank

The striking difference between the
candidates their platforms and their cam.
paign methods presented to the think
ing voters of the state is found In the
way in which the campaign issues are be-
ing met and discussed.
The republican state committee and the
republican press are appealing to the in
tellgence of the voters by the publica-
ton of official facts and figures, reports
and statistics, showing the clean and hon
orablc record of the party In state af-
fairs and which rcfute the charges of
graft and dishonesty so Unfortunately
made by Clement.
The Clement Literary Bureau, on the
contrary is appealing to the prejudices
and snap-judgmcnt of the voters and to
the proclivilitv to chit something. A
fair illustration of the methods and pur-
pose of Clement and his Bureau" or of
| the measure of the man himself. is found
in the libel put forth by his paper charg-
ing that Mr.. Proctor "has no platform or
principle which he will not trade or aban-

large portion of the Bureaus productions
are of the same kind of personal abuse
and savage and unwarranted attacks up

DILLINGHAM'S ADDRESS.
Gave Some Interesting Figures in Re-
1atiOn to Vermont.

Senator Dillingham's address at the Ben
nngton Republican county convention
was a forceful showing of the benefits
to the country from the Republican ma
tional administration. but he had almost
nothing to say on State issues except to
devote n few words to saying that the
Republican party has named n good
clean ticket of all young men ana that
this ticket will and ought to be elect
cd
Referring to national affairs he in
stanccd some of the measures carried
through Congress by the Republican
party and compared the achievements of
that party to the uncertain and doubt
| ful measures proposed by their oppon-
ents and their failure to accomplish any
| thing but discredit while in power.
! The speaker gave some interesting fig
utes in regard to Vermont manufacturing
that show how greater Vermont is de-
veoping.

| land States in per cent. of increase of
capital invested in manufacturing, num-

featured products produced between the
years of 1900 and 1905, as shown by the
recent census of manufactures, makes the
following showing:

NO REPUBLICAN BOSS IN VERMONT

The canvass in behalf of Percival W.
Clement. based as 1t Is upon the assump-
ton that the people Of Vermont have
lost both common sense and memory, and
that the republican masses of our State
have abandoned their political principles.
is an insult to the people in general and
to the republican voters in particular.
AS an illustration of the extent to which
Mr. Clement banks upon the assumed
|credulty, ignorance and folly of the read
ers of his campaign literature, take the
article on THE Rise of Proctor" issued
the other day by his literary bureau.
This contains list of ten members of
the Legislature which gave Redneld
Proctor his first election to the Senate of
the United states in 1892 who have re-
ceived public offices since that date. and

in the General Assembly This is the
same as saying that William w. Stick
scy became governor In 1900 not because
!
4s,4n Vermont republicans by whose
votes he was elected, but because he
stood up in the speakers chair and an
nouncea that Redfield Proctor was his
choice for United States senator eigh,
years before. 1t Is saying that Josiah
Grout was elected governor In 49, anC

elected State treasurer and T.. A. How

the offices but that they received then
AS political rewards" bestowed by tn
hand OF Redheld Proctor!

was ever elected in Vermont with les
