HONORABLE POLITICS.

Our neighbour The Phoenix, in referring
to the pernicious activity manifested by
the candidates who participated in the
republican caucus of Aug says:
eve believe that these methods are an
unwise and unwelcome innovation in our
local preliminary contests, and that the
less we have of them in the future the
better"
We heartily agree with The Phoenix
in what it has to say about the caucus
methods, although we are inclined to
think that it is ultra conservative in its
choice of adjectives to characterize the
tactics employed. The methods used in
the republican caucus were unwise and
unwelcome and more-they came so near
being corrupt that had they been used in
an election subject to the laws of the state
the users thereof would have been liable
to arrest and fine. The less we have of
them in the future the better. The best
way to put an end to them is to defeat
the candidate whose nomination was
brought about by them. Such a rebuke
will have lasting effect--it will prove be-
yond any shadow of doubt that Brattle
boro people as whole do not countenance
such methods If the winner of the re-
publican caucus is elected this year the
tactics which he and his republican OPP
ponents employed will practically be vindi-
Gated. Two years hence people will scorn
any argument about a change in caucus
methods, saying "such methods may not
be clean politics but they get there just
the same" If, on the other hand, Mr..
Barber is defeated the politicians of Brat
tleboro will realize that in. order to re-
ceive the votes of the people they must
come out in the open and make clean,
manly fight.
This is a mighty good time for the peo-
pie of Brattleboro to show what they be-
lieve is honorable political procedure" by
placing very plain stamp of disapproval
on the other variety.

Grafton, two venerable arguments are pro
duced by the republican party leaders in
an effort 10 preserve the Vermont tradi'
ton that republican nomination is as
good as an election. They do their best
to keep the dissatisfied ones lin line,
first by arguing that a person who votes
in a party caucus is in duty bound TO
support the nominee; second, by citing
the imperative need of an oldtime repub'
lican majority in September. The first
argument has very little TO commend it
to any voter OF high ideals as TO qualifi-
cations of men for public office. II man
enters a caucus for the purpose OF defeat
ing a certain candidate whom he believes
to be unfit TO hold office he would be
Sinking his duty if he neglected a second
opportunity to defeat that candidate
when the first opportunity proved unsuc-
cessful. Furthermore he would be untrue
to his freeman's oath, which pledges him
whenever giving his vote on any matter
that concerns the state to do it so as in
your conscience you shall judge will most
conduce to the best good of the same, as
established by the constitution, without
F.. tc 10 ba
gument about the old.time republican ma
jority it has no bearing whatsoever on
local matters and should not be consid-
cred
There is in this state far too little in
dependent thought on the question OF
fitness as an indispensable qualification
for public Office far too much adherence
to the Anticipated doctrine that the can
didate is all right if he belong to the right
party. What is needed is more men who
will vote for whom they consider the best
qualified candidates regardless of their
party affiliations. With the increase of
such voters will come about an improve
ment in the character and ability OF pub
lie officeholders. This test Of fitness is in
double need of application in the settle
ment of local questions, where partisan
ship amounts to absolutely nothing. A
mans belief in Organism or the Big Stick
enters not at all into the question of his |
ability to represent his town in the state
legislature The real consideration is
whether he is absolutely honest, thor
oughly conversant and in sympathy with |
the needs Of his town and state, and pub
lic-spirited enough to place these needs
ahead of his own private wishes.
