AN UNWISE APPEAL TO PREJUDICE.

tThe st. Johnsbury Caledonian will
publish the following as its leading edl-
torial this week:
A letter bearing the signature of John
l.. Barstow of Shelburne, an ex-governor
of Vermont. commencing the candidacy
of Zed Stanton for the governorshlp nom,
nation. has been quite generally publlshed
insthe state papers. In that letter, the
venerable ex-governor makes emphatic
part taken by Mr.. Stanton when the lat
ter was state senator, IN support OF
bill designed to increase corporation taxes.
II seems that the Hon. 2. w. Clement
was a member of the senate the same
wear and assumed leadership in that BODY
in opposition to the bill and, with the
support that came to him, succeeded IN
attitude toward the bill, Ex-Governor
Barstow concludes his letter with this
paragraph:
1T seems to be good logic to say that
now we should vote for the man who
faced Mr.. Clement and did his best to Sc
cure the passage of the bill.
If there is one point in this utterance
upon which the entire argument hangs, IL
is that which declares that Stanton laced
Mr.. Clement" Whether the bill had
sufficient merit to make its passage wise
legislation or not, or whether Stanton S
support of it was justified by It's merits
or not. ex-Gov. Barstow does not say.
The alleged fact that the Roxbury man,
chronic, persistent and perennial sitter be-
meath the political apple tree that ne IS,
faced Mr.. Clement" seems to have been
enough for the purposes OF the letter
writer.
Logically. of course if there was any
lc f,r
| Clement opposed it, Clement faced
Stanton and its other supporters, Glenn
ent's part being defensive rather than Of
| fensive. If the act was in any sense an
example of heroism then the credit tor
heroic accomplishment rather belongs to
Clement than to Stanton. That is, so
far as ex-Gov. Barstow treats the case.
That Mr.. Clements name should be
brought into the present contest, even
through the medium above noted is pc
culiar strategic movement. But any at
tempt to trade upon the prejudice that
may still exist among Vermont Kepubll-
cans against the Hon. p. w. Clement,
cannot be looked upon otherwise than as
ill-timed and not directed toward, the
complete party harmony that should
characterize a presidential election year.
Mr.. Clement is not factor in this year
campaicning but his friends are still nu-
merous and they properly may take ex-
ception to the laudation of Stanton as
having "faced'' Mr. Clement. If that as
sertion becomes responsible for. some
measure of detection on the part of Glenn
ent sympathizers from a possible support
of Stanton's candidacy, it will not be
surprising.
In this connection it is pleasing to note
that Lieutenant Governor Prouty in his
campaign for the governorship nomina.
ton is making no appeal to any prejudice
within the party that has become history
and which should be allowed to remain
unmolested history in this presidential
sive Republicanism is what he stands for
and what he is a part of and whoever
others have "fa,ed," he faces directly
ahead and invites every element of the
party to look with him in that same d.
rection.-Adv.

NO OPPOSITION TO PAGE.

One troublesome political scrap is off,
There will be no fight for the United
States senatorship this fall Congressman
Foster says he will not be candidate,
o. NJ. Barber will not be candidate II
Foster isn't and Senator Stewart is en-
tirely satisfied to rest on his laurels won
and to be won during the short term for
which he has been appointed, feeling that
his life work will be well rounded out by
this service.
There will be no opposition to the cleo
ton of Ex-Governor Carroll S. Page OF
Hyde Park. He would have won in any
event, having far more support through
out the state than all the other candi-
dates mentioned. 1t is fortunate, how
ever, that we are to be spared the annoy
ance of harsh political contest, carried
through the caucuses, to the state election
and into the legislature.
The Reformer congratulates Governor
Page and the state. The former deserves
a unanimous election and the latter de-
serves a good senator. Both will get
what they deserve and we can now turn
our undivided attention elsewhere.

TEAMS SPLIT EVEN.
Company I and Millers Falls Divided
Memorial Day Games.

Tn comedy of errors, and very lar
cicai comedy at that, Company | was
trimmed bv Millers Falls 10 to in the
morning baseball game on the island Me-
mortal day 1t was little the worst ex-
hibition of the national sport that TO-
cal aggregation has put up hereaoouts IN
many moons There was no prnclpai
comedian in the show, nearly all OF the
soldiers taking leading parts as butter
fingered error makers. Indeed, Lee Was
about the only local player who should
NOT have had a black mark or two chalk
ed against his name in the last column
of the score book. A so-called twlrler by
the name of O'Connor started in to do
the pill-propelling for Company, |, but
his offerings were so much to the TASTE
of Millers Falls that his supply OF goods
was entirely exhausted in an inning or
two. He hung on till the sixth, however,
when RUSTY" Ellis went into the box
in a forlorn hope to check the swatfest.
1t was no use. The base hits totalled
quarter of hundred. -,
The afternoon game did not start until
more than an hour after schedule time and
was stopped in the eighth on account OF
rain, Company | winning by score o. OF
10 to 4. The mauls OF the Mlllers rams
magnates were not attuned to the slither-
ing shoots that Jimmy Clune shot plate
ward from inning to inning, and bingles
were few and very far between. Brattle,,
boro, on the other hand, strengthened
by Spike" Davis and Dan Riley, tap
ned Emery's furnishings into all corners
of the lot, scoring five runs IN the sixth
inning on a succession of singing singles
and double by dabster Dan.
The following scores, containing almost
as many errors as the morning game, were
furnished by Millers Falls:

that time showed its ability to play the
game cleverly.

..BRIo" PHELPS. ACROBAT.

The Honorable Iiug Phelps Of West
minister, 10 whose letter OF last week NC
referred as political advertising for the
reason that il was sent Us BY Prou'ys
campaign manager with permission to
charge for it, publication, thinks We
were talking sarcasm in our last issue
when we referred 10 his wonderful com
mand OF language" his Interpretation OF
the fling being that we didn't believe he
wrote the cpisile. Let Us be frank. We
confess we doubted the authorship OF the
document signed 10y Mr.. Phelps and prais'
ing Prouty, because We had seen a letter
from the Honorable Brig, written but
a day or two before, in which he said
DO not think | am opposed to Judge
Stanton or working for Lleut.'6ov. Prouly
for | am not How could We reconcile
two such opposing opinions as coming
from the same man! lis true We were a
bit skeptical and why shouldn't we be!
Indeed the Honorable Brig evidently
feared that the same emotions would
arise in the mind OF the man who ne
ceiyed the iirst letter for he wrote him
after the appearance OF the Prouty paean,
saying he had intended to remain neu-
trail but has been earnestly requested to
write a letter. in behalf OF Prouty and
yielded. So wrote the Honorable Brig to
one man and yet in his letter to us he
says the Prouty epistle was written OF
my own free will and accord and that
"Mr. Williams, Mr.. Prouty, nor anybody
else suggested what / should or should not
write" In truth the giddy somersault
has no terrors for the nifty Brig. lie
should be featured as head-liner among
Vermont's political acrobats.

So seldom of late have we had an OPP
portunity to agree with the highly es-
teemed but sadly deluded Northtield
News on, a political issue that we hasten
to coincide in its opinion about the ap-
pointment Of, Fuller G. Smith as national
bank examiner The News believes the
congressional delegation made mistake
in its appointment. 1t thinks Mr.. Smith
had been amply rewarded for whatever
political service he had rendered and that
there are many men in the first district
who more truly deserved the honor.
While Mr.. Smith is doubtless lawyer
Of more or less ability and man who
has done much for his city and state he
is known principally as politician and
received his appointment for that reason.
The. Vermont congressional delegation
would have pleased whole lot of people
had it recommended for the position OF
bank examiner genuine bank man whose
reputation had been made in financial in
stead of political circles.
