THE CAMPAIGN.

The state political campaign today en-
tiers upon its last week, and while Mr..
Proctor's chances appear on the surface
much better than they did two weeks
ago, the Republicans are not letting up
any in the strenuous campaign they have
been conducting, and the Fusion forces
are working harder than ever for vic
tory. Vermont isn't accustomed to such
strenuous campaigns, especially in an
Oh year. In presidential years an ef-
fort is made TO get out large vote to
increase the size Of the Republican ma
jority, but off years are generally dead
ones, politically speaking. But in 1902
and again this year, the Republican par
" has had some real opposition and it
has been necessary to put up good
strong fight to win. Mr.. Clement didn't
win four years ago, but he forced the
successful party to enact some needed
legislation, which he had earnestly ad.
yocated and which but few people today
would desire to have undone. He de-
serves credit for this much. He may
win this year--stranger things have hap
pened--but it does not look 50 now.
But II he fails Of an election his RIM

SUMNER RESIDENTS.

Vermont might learn to advantage
some things from New Hampshire in
the matter Of securing summer visitors.
The Boston Transcript tells Of one
feature 81 it,
1.-THE state Of New Hampshire collects
carefully all data OF the summer resi-
dence habit BY which 1t has benefited
much Of recent yenrs. The work is
under the direction of the commissioner
of agriculture, and covers all real estate
transactions in which non-residents are
interested. The names Of the parties
are recorded, and also the improvements
they make on plan, whether these are
the conversion Of an old farm house into
modern dwelling, or the erection Of
structures 70 meet the tastes OF require
ments Of purchasers. A recent state
ment Of the transfers Of this season
for summer residences affords crafty
ing Indications of New Hampshire's pop
ularity with those whose means enable
them to leave the cities and sojourn
by lakes or near the shadowing woods
OF the granite state The country seems
to be turning its mind towards New
Hampshire as the region where our sum-
mer is most equally bracing The move
ment marks change in the popular
ideal of summer pleasure, of the substi-
tuition of the owned dwelling for the
hired lodgings. 1t is an expression Of
the growing belief in the outdoor life.
Economically ii is great advantage
to New Hampshire, and its physical and
moral benefits to a people who too much
make their ledgers gods, are not the
least Of its boons."
New Hampshire offers no better con
ditions for summer outings than does
Vermont, but she seems to understand
better the art Of advertising her attrac.
tions. Cannot Vermont acquire the
