POLITICAL CAREER.

His political career began when he was
elected town representative at the age
Of 26. In the following term, 1870. he was
reelected. From 1874 to 1879 he was SEN
ator from Lamoile county. In 1880 he
was delegate to the national convention,
In 1854 he was made inspector of finance
and served four years in that capacity.
From 1872 to 1889 he was the I,amoile
county member Of the State committee
and for years It's chairman. In 1890 the
political managers who decided that u
A. woodbury. should be the next Gov.
ernor of Vermont proceeded to make their
intentions known. But Pnge also had
his eye on the office and he had gone
after It without saying anything about Il.
When the ring thought II was time to
let the people know what tho had de-
cided upon they found that Page already
had a largo lead in the matter OF dele
gates. He was victorious by a good ma
jority In the convention. He won an In.
creased popularity because he had brok-
en- the power OF the ring, and added to
his popularity by placing a democrat on
his personal staff. something no COVER
nor has done since and few had done
before.
PUBLIC SPIRIT.
That he is public spirited as we'll as
successful In a business way is shown by
the appearance of the village itself
though Mr.. Page would not admit that
he was entitled to any credit for that.
with a population Of less than 800 It
has well-kept streets, plentiful shade
trees, good sidewalks and excellent wa
ter system and fire protection and first
class schools. This being the shire town
of the county and the home Of Mr.. Page
It has many more visitors than most
towns OF It's size and It needed n better
hotel than II could afford. A company
was therefore formed with Mr. Page at
It's head to build a hotel and the one
they put up would he credit to any
country town. II Is SO good that they
cannot realize any income from the in
vestment. He also maintains a reading
room gymnasium and library free to the
townspeoplc and these are but few OF
the ways In which his public spirit has
been shown.

DEMOCRATS AND BEET SUGAR.

Mendacity can go no further than
the Misrepresentation OF the Demo
cratic position on the Beet Sugar
question that is daily dinned into the
ears of the people by Congressman
Bonynge and The Denver Republican.
We urge upon every reader Of this
supplement to read again the Demo
cratic platform carefully. We stand
upon our state platform sqtAarely. and
SO do the Democratic nominees for
Congress. The beet sugar plank is
clear-cut, definite statement that Mr..
Taft purposed to put beet sugar on
the free list, to aid his Filipino pets.
which is contrary to Democratic
policies and gross discrimination
against the farmers OF beet sugar
raising states. SO long as Colorado
pays tribute to the protective manu-.
featuring barons OF the East, we de-
nounce the policy OF Mr.. Taft, 80 fire.
quently advocated by him, to reduce
the tariff on sugar, and put all farm
work on plane with coolie labor
which produces sugar in the Philip
pine islands.
The language is plain; he who can
read can understand. 1t says:
I'VE favor and demand reduction Of
the tariff schedules In accordance
with the national platform adopted at
Denver We regard the declared
policy of VIM. H. Taft to single out
for attack the sugar beet industry BY
admitting free of duty sugar raised
in the Philippine islands as dis
elimination against the farmers OF
this country and this state in he in
terest of Asiatic coolie labor, and as
the first step In adoption OF a perma-
nent policy of exploitation of the is
lands by trusts which will render 1t
impossible ever to obtain the consent
of congress to recognize in the inter-
est Of liberty and humanity the indie
pendence OF the people of those Is
lands"

beef had to be raised. They lied, as
usual, for the facts are that the trust
at that very time was paying the
stock. growers 20 per cent. less for all
live stock than ever before. The fall
ing off to the producer In the year
1907 was 1865 900. 900, as shown by
the reports OF the National Live Stock
Association. yet the prices to the con-
sumer, to every one of us who can
afford to eat meat, was raised ut the
same time, and has never been low
cred since, until every housewife has
to figure that item of expense very
closely. Thus both our Colorado pro-
ducers and consumers are robbed.
while the beef trust sits in the middle
like a huge bloated reptile and alb
serbs all the profits on all sides.
