Senator Dillingham;.
Senator Dillingham; was the next
speaker and gave strong ard conyine'
ing argument in favor Of the policies
Of the party and in defense of the eri-
iicisms Of Bryan as made in his speech
of acceptance. The speaker defed Mr..
Bryan to stick 20 the exact records and
then make such accusations as he did
In his acceptance speech. We are COM
ing this fall 10 q great election and Il
is a great thought that the people OF
this great country are 70 come forward
on November and determine by their
ballots the policy which is going I"
govern this country. In as much as
Vermont Is the first state to cast its
vote in this campaign Il IL essentisl
that she speak with no uncertain voice
and il Is the duty Of every Republican
voter 10 vote the Republican state tick
et in September. Vermont has the dis.
tinction shared in part by Michigan OF
being the first state in the union 70
put protection plant in It's platform
and make Il law; the first to enact
that policy and principal which lately
enacted by the government has made
il the greatest nation on earth. Under
the influence Of protection our manu-
facturers have become unequaled any
where in the world. We enacted the
homestead law and built the Pacific
railroad for the advancement OF the
great western country and VIC have an
Interstate commerce that Is greater than
all the other nations on earth put to-
ecther. The speaker then took up the
criticisms OF Bryan in his acceptance
years ago the Republican leaders be-
came frightened into framing up some
Kind Of an antitrust law and put II
before Congress but that the Senate
refused TO consider il. Wha. that law
WIS or who framed IL the speaker said
he did not know and he had been un
able to find anyone who did. condi-
tions have changed from what they
were fifty years ago and the eighty
billions Of people In this country today
cannot be governed by the same means
that they could when was boy. II
is absolutely necessary that there should
be combinations Of capital and combina-
tions OF labor to carry on the great
enterprises Of this country, but we must
have these corporations hcdged in 80
that they cannot abuse their privileges
and the laws. The corporations in
Vermont are in the hands of the legis-
lature where they get their charters.
IL Is your duty TO send men TO the leg
isIature that will look out for your in
terests. On the subject of trusts "A
years ago the Republican party through
William Mckinley was the first to be-
gin work on them. but unfortunately
AZ that time Democratic president
was elected with 4 Democratic Congress
and nothing was done with the trusts.
The Democratic party since the Civil
War has never been able to construct
legislation Congress cannot crush the
trusts as that power lies with the state
Bryan while in Congress proposed an
amendment to the constitution where
by Congress would be able to sink the
trusts and every Democrat in Congress
except four voted against it. In re-
gard to railroad legislation and rebate
laws the speaker said that the Repub-
lican party had passed effective laws
despite Mr.. Bryan to the contrary. The
great convention at Chicago was held
end there was not a man there that
travelled on pass and we had CON
yention in this state and not man
got there on pass. The Elkins law
made it crime for shippers to accept
rebates from the railroads or even to
ask for them and to get further infor
nation in the matter the department |
os commerce and labor was formed and
III that department il bureau Of cor
porations.
Do you want man for president !
who has more opinions and PROPOSE
tions to offer than he is years old but |
never been able to get one of them in
to law, or do YOU want clear head
ed, able statesman of experience at the |
head of this government. What we
want il Judgment and not sentiment.
Ii Taft state and is going
to let the country know it by giving
prouty handsome vote.

.liairman stated that there had been
Blair as a Judge from Massachusetts,
Is he never was a Judge but was
man and lived in Brooklyn,
y. Y. Mr. Blair in beginning his speech
1tated that he always wanted to have

'orc he started to speak He said that

ie wanted the sneaker to lambaste the
Democrats the best he knew how and
Democratic speaker to rub it into the
republicans for all he was worth He

hen proceeded to lambaste the Demo-
ratio party and Bryan in particular
lie said that Vermont had peculiar
rand Democracy that could not be
ound anywhere else in the country.
1e said he lived where he smelt the
rammany Tiger every day and he pro
,osed to the Vermont Republicans that
