MANUFACTURING PUBLIC SENTI-
NENT.

Thc dcservedly popular head of our
war department should pray to b"
saved from some of his over-zealous
friends. Printed post cards are being
sent from columbus. Ohio, to voters in
Vermont benrlne the tabluated re-
suits of a canvass Of $50 prominent re-
publicans in different states in New
England, conducted by the Chicago
Tribune. which shows for first choice
that TAFT had 2s9 votes, Hughes 139,
Roosevelt "a, Cannon ., while for
second choice Hughes had 211, raft
1O2, Cannon 80 and so on.
Then follow the remarkable state
mcnts: raft is -eminently the first
choice of republicans Of every one of
these six New England states" This
means the solid New England vote Of
So for Taft in the national convention"
"Analyze these figures and remember
the Middle West watch for what
comes next"
Before any particular candidate
become prominently mentioned in this
State the assertion was made that a
certain prominent Nermonter was
coming to Vermont and that he was
charged with the delivery of the state
to Taft Some time after the publica-
ton of this report though not until an
| i,,l to- al
of Vermont to any candidate by any
man whatsoever had boon voiced from
Lake Champlain to the Connecticut
ana from the Canadian border to the
Massachusetts line this statement was
rcpudiatod.
Now comes an even more objection
able attempt on the part of men out
side of Vermont and having not the
rcmotest connection, even by politi-
cal marriage. with our state to as
s"rt that because G3 men here have
said they favored Taft Vermont is as
surcd for the Ohio candidate in the
national convention.
| Now we do not attempt to say that
Vermont will not be for Taft or that
# VIII not be unanimously ana on

the Groon Mountain state casts its
eight votes for raft. it will be in spite
of the feet that some indlscrcct friend
of his went to the extreme measure
of printing lot of checker-board
cards. stuck one cent postage stamps
ON them and spread them broadcast in
| our state as we'll as in other parts of
New England, in the belief that a
| straw vote of this character justified
the claim of Ncrmonts pre- eminent
support, or would win still other votes
| for the secretary of war.

CONGRESSMAN HASkINS ON THE
PRESIDENCY.

We reprint in another column an inter
view given to the New York Tribune by
Congressman Kittredge Haskins with re-
ference to the presidency ana the at
titudc Vermont may take in relation to
the selection of a candidate, Col. Hask,ns
frankly says that his choice is Speaker
Cannon. who he thinks would make an
excellent chief executive IN spite of ad-
vanced years.
Uncle aloe" Cannon unqucstonaby has
a host of admirers In Vermont. Just as
has President Roosevelt, Governor
Hughes. Secretary Taft Vice President
Fairbanks and various other men OF ma
tional prominence who might be named,
but because man expresses admiration
for mother it does not necessarily mean
that the latter is his choice for the
presidency There are certain lines of
policy which the people of this State
will not endorse, but there is marked
disposition to avoid any appearance of
preventing the people of Vermont from
working out their own choice as regards
| the republican candidate.
Vermont has always gained prestige
| by standing for something itself instead
| of favoring some policy or man because
| somebody else favored the same. Elk
| Governor Stewart called attention the
| other day to the manner in which Yer
mont gained through the course pursued
by its delegation, of which Sena tol

the presidency, and he would have thu

BRYAN WOULD OVT-ROOSENE I.r
THE PRESIDENT.

William j. Bryan may not be the
democratic candidate for the presi-
hency of the United States, but he is
apparently acting on the supposition
that he is as good as nominated. BE
this as it may, it is safe TO assume that
he is a candidate In earnest, and he is
spreading the report that he was never
more hopeful in his life, which is say
ing considerable for such sanguine
optimistic individual as the perpetual
candidate from Nebraska
Mr. Bryan has told all his friends
that Mr. Roosevelt will not again be a
candidate, but that the nominee will
be raft and that he believes he can
defeat the secretary of war. He re
Gently defended one Of his lieutenants

Mr.. Bryan That seems to be the plar
Of his campaign.
There was time when Mr., Bryan
was apparently trying to convey the
impression to tho public that he hat
become conservative. but he has
turned the tables, judging from Tho
statement attributed to him, and de

Former United States Senator George
J.. Edmunds who visited Burlington a
short time since received this handsome
tribute from the Hartford Courant:
George F. Edmunds was senator from
Vermont for twenty-five years. He was
one of the four front-pew lawyer-senators
of his tme-Trumbull of Illinois, Thur
man of Ohio and Carpenter of Wisconsin
being the others. Sixteen years ago he
set John c, Spooner the example of re-
Signing from the Senate to give himself
Entirely to the practice of law. He's
near so now, but he still keeps his interest
in public affairs He takes no stock at all
in the foolish talk of Senator Lodge ;
son-in-law and other rattle-headed per
sons about forcing the President to take
Il denomination and a third term. "Ro0se-
Welt is too good a patrot--and too hon
est man--to establish such a dangerous
precedent" he says.

EEI1IONT MILK IN BOSTON.

The esteemed New England Farmer
takes exceptions tc our suggestion
that the farmers of Vermont take ad-
vantage Of the troubles over the milk
supply of Boston and get together
in order to secure contracts which will
give them permanent hold on the
milk supply of the Hub It also dis
approves of the idea of our state
board of agriculture taking prompt
measures to get Vermont dairy in
tcrests in touch with the Hub milk
dealers at once. owing to the difficulty
attending the promotion of the sale of
Vermont milk in Boston
In the first place the Farmer says:
Vermont farmers should not make
contracts with the Hub market That
marked is controlled by ring Of
greedy and INSCRIPTIONS contractors
who have oppressed the hard working
farmers of Massachusetts for years
until the latter have revolted in des-
poration; and now large number Of
the rcvolters threaten to Withhold

been reached at which they were oh

Vermont farmers at this crisls-it Is
only a gold brick. If they seize This
time by the forelock thcy win find
that he wears q wig which, will slim

wig too.
The present situation promises moth
ing worthy or permanent for Vermont
milk producers Their product is
! sought now merely as a weapon with
which to defeat the struggling Massa-
chusctts milk producers ana to kccr
them from securing prices which will
mean a fair profit in their business

they do? Continue these desirable con
tracts? BY no means. 1t will be founC
that plenty of better and cheaper milk
can be secured nearer home and they
will not then take Vermont milk "a
any price.
We earnestly appeal to Vermont
farmers to keep out of the Boston milk
fight. Your Massachusetts brothers
are brave, sensible and determined ano
