final preponderanee In Vermont ant
the manner Ia which a few men nov
control the eaucuses and elections
There never was a state issue In Yer
mont until 1909 and the machine, en-
trcnehed In power, is responsible TO
a hodge.podge of ill-considered laws
senator Redfcld Proctor is the po
liiical boss of this state. The senator
controls the Vermont delegation il
! Washington aud holds federal patron
age In his hands; now the son wants I,
be governor and control state patron
age. The old senator holds up one enc
of the yoke, waves the bow and say'
commandingly:-
"llaw, Buck; come uuder." Tn,
horns of the independent party are toe
big aud they won't come. T"
"No matter what kind of grease
you put on my neck, the yoke doesn Z
III me. -
The state insane asylum at Water
bury, the speaker said, was one thing
that we had to show for our enormous
increase in state expenses, but its build
ing was the craziest thing Vermont
ever did; the man responsible for IL
ought 10 have been the first inmate.
There is graft there in the salaries
paid and the amount of help main
tanned. II costs Us s3l 900 year or
Sl.l6 per patient per week more than
il does in Connecticut TO run similar
asylum.
Vermont loses money frou her anti
quated system of doing business. Hay
ing with scythe and bull-rake is
not more out-of.date than trying to
handle the public business of Vermont
the way we do. And vet, when the
speaker was in the senate in 1900. n
bill TO reorganize state business meth.
DDS, which passed the senate, was de-
feated by Fletcher d. Proctor when il
reached the house The unaudited
business of the state in the house of
correction 5 marble mills was ex-
planned and Proetor's interest in il
shown.
In 1904 Mr.. Clement sent an expert
accountant TO examine state accounts,
and il took wear and half and a
mandate of the supreme court to give
him the right to look at his own books.
Up to week ago last Friday, there
hadn I been one scratch of a pen made
on those books in relation to state in
stitutions for one whole year previous.
No one can tell what state expenses
have been and the reason those figures
are held back is because the cost of do
ing business has increased to nearly
$4,000 and we are face to face with
a deficit of $4,000 or more and must
either increase the taxes on corpora
tions or raise state tax. That is why
the auditor eyades the order Of the
Supreme court; that is why we cannot
get the figures.
What will the fusionists do If elect
ed? The first thing 'rill be to- turn ev-
ery mother's u son agt y office; then put
some legislation on the books that will
protect the treasury.
Concluding, Mr. Clement condemned
in unsparing terms the miserable
whelp who sells his vote and said
that. in certain town where there are
400 purchasable voters, he would tell
those voters what he thought of them.
"T don't want any man who sells
his vote to vote for me; take it some
where else.
He urged the formation of fusion
clubs for debating state issues and said
that if all honest voters touch elbows
September 4, the Independent idea will
be victorious all over the state.

IT WILL GUST THE GIRLS.

Il. Il. Belts. car service agent for
the Chicago & Northwestern, has pat
ented system whereby the car re-
cords Of the road can be kept without
the services of women or typewriters.
He claims that the new girlless scheme
will save his road $4,000 a year In
salaries alone without counting the
cost OF stationery or typewriters. AS
upwards of 100 railroads in the coun-
try employ women typewriter opera
tors and those who have examined the
new system predict that 1t will be-
come universally adopted, Mr.. Belts
is liable to be an exceedingly unpopu-
lar individual among the womens
clubs OF the country.

for this afternoon at Cummings field
This morning at IL o'clock the train
from the south arrived, bringing teams
from seven High schools, with rootors.
making over 800 people in the aggre-
gate.
At the same hour north train
brought In the ogden and Brigham
City ccntingents, with a total of about
80 people. Committees from the Uni
versity Of Utah met both contingents
at the depot, and escorted them to the
University campus, In special cars.
There they were shown over the build
ings until lunch time, and then were
given a complimentary luncheon by the
women students.
The field meet began at 1880 this af-
ternoon with 10 contesting schools.
While the rain materially affected the
attendance, there was still fair sized
crowd, and tonight II is planned for
the whole party TO go to Saltair, where
a dance Will be given In honor of the
visiting teams.
LOCAL SCHOOL FAVORITE.
The contestants this afternoon are
from Ogden and Brigham City on the
north, and from Payson Springvile,
American Fork. Lehi, Mant and West
Jordan on the south The biggest state
high school meet prior to this one was
held last year, with three contesting
schools. This year Park City, for some
reason, failed to enter, although 1t had
q number OF promising boys In last
year.
The Salt Lake school, so far, has car
ried of most OF the honors, in every
meet. Today they come against many
opponents, OF whom they know nothing,
but they have the advantage OF expert
training under Coach Callahan. Often
a few weeks OF training and condition
ing viii overcome the lead of natural
ability, and the trained runner has
much the advantage OF the unframed
man, however marked his native abil-
ity. For this reason the Salt Lake
school Is counted on sure winner by
a comfortable margin, with Ogden or
Payson reasonably sure Of second place.
