SOUTHERN VIEW OF RACE PROBLEM

The negro problem one of the gravest that confons
the American people and here Southern from the
Taylor Trotwood Magazine that is somewhat original and
deserves consideration
Very gratifying the assertion of Booker Washington
that the negroes of Georgia nay taxes than eighteen
million dollars worth of property 1t property at last

where good may readily attain property with any
serious and directed effort With whskey the reach
of le negro these figures will be doubled within the next
decade The negro problem great that paragraph

civilization reached through thousands of years of white
travail and suffering Compared to which the work of few
centuries of negro slavery were but banjo-thumpng

greater opportunity and treating him with kindness
and humaneness than did any white of the past

The Barton delegation will go to the
county convention at Barton Landing
tomorrow instructed to vote for w. NJ.
Wright for states attorney and for H.
d. Stannard of Barton Landing for
high sheriff. After the fight of two
years ago and all that has been said
and done there will probably be no op-
position to Mr.. Wright's election and
he should be the unanimous choice of
the county convention tomorrow. We
understand there is a three cornered

sheriff. Mr.. Stannard goes to the con-

with strong support from every Sec
ton of the county his nomination
should be comparatively sure.

For Prouty.
By Colby Stoddard.

By Colby Stoddard.
In this campaign, we'll take our stand,
And whoop her up to beat the band
For Prouty.
He's known, both in the state and out,
AS most handsome man, no doubt,
So we will all send up a shout
For Prouty.
He's from the county of Orleans
And seems to have the ways and means,
This Prouty.
The papers run his name and face.
And do it with apparent grace,
But we all know he buys the space,
This Prouty.
We will elect him just for fun,
And put Zed Stanton on the run.
This Prouty,
His principles are all first-rate.
His promises are something great,
He is the model candidate;
This Prouty.
IT'S from his hand the railroads eat,
He's got them crazy with the heat,
This Prouty,
The telephones are on the verge
On all competing lines to merge,
But such course he will not urge,
This Prouty.
We will elect him, wait and see,
Without the aid of the C.. ",
This Prouty.
Well swell the prestige of the state
From Portland to the Golden Gate
With this our model candidate,
This Prouty.
We will elect him once for all
And do it early this next fall,
This Prouty.
In politics he is no fool,
He learned the art in Proctor's school
He will enforce the golden rule,
This Prouty.
But with all our joking laid aside
On the band wagon we will ride
With Prouty.
The old Vermont is ushered out
And all the state has faced about
And that is why we all should shout
For Prouty.

States Attorneyship of Orleans County

The following article, mailed to US
by our Barton Landing correspondent,
is entirely in sympathy with our ideas.
ED.
Barton has an aspirant for the office
this year, namely, w. M. Wright. It
will be remembered that two years
ago there was contest between him
and E. A. Cook, present state attorney
of this county, and Mr.. Wright lacked
few votes of being nominated for
this office, several of the delegates at
the north end claiming that as Mr..
Cook had only held the office for two
years. another term should be given
to him, as the custom prevailed Of
electing the same man to the office
for two terms. This office has alter
mated between the two sections of the
county, namely, Newport, Derby and
Troy for the north end. and Barton,
1rasburg and Craftsbury for the south
end for many years. This year the
south end claims they are entitled to
the Office, following the custom es-
tablished, it being conceded that
each section has equally competent
lawyers to fill the Office with honor to
themelves and credit to their towns.
Mr.. Wright is eminently fitted for the
position, and, should he be elected, the
county will be adequately served.
That the voters may be acquainted
with Mr.. Wright's record we present
the following:
w. M. Wright is native of Albany,
VT, and is 40 years old. He was edu-
Gated in the common schools of Albany
and Glover, and at Craftsbury, Barton
and St. Johnsbury academies. He
studied law with Judge w. w. Miles
three years and was admitted to the
bar in 1895. Previous to this he taught
school in the towns of Barton ane
Glover with success. Since 1895 hi
, has had an Office in Barton village anl
has been one of the foremost lawyer:
of the place. He has been an active
member of the Congregational church
for many years, is free Mason, ha:
: had several town Offices, is attorney fo
the town. and since Judge Miles re
signed has been attorney for the vii
lage corporation. He is upright
| honest, reliable and has the confidence
of all who know him. He has a larg.
practiceI and attends strictly to bust
ness.-Express and Standard.

he has more than made good" in his
official capacity, that his service has
been remarkably faithful and efficient,
that he has reached place of influence
and power where he can count for more
in the next few years for his district,
state and county than any new con-
gresham. Col. Haskins will be re-
nominated at ST. Johnsbury, June 20.
COL Haskins's record as legislator in
Washington is one which his supporters
point to with pride, and they welcome
any honest discussion of it. And speak
ing about legislative records, Frank
Plumley has one. 1t is not, however,
recalled that in the state house at
Montpelier he took the initiative, led
in the enactment of any important law
or measure, or that he made his i'm
press on legislation in any exceptional
way. A man who did nothing remark
able in state affairs is not likely to be
a wonder in the more intricate and diff
ficult field of national affairs which he
would enter as novice.
The fact that the American Manufac-
turers' association is anxious for Col.
Haskins's return to Congress shows
his standing among men who believe
in the protective tariff and who realize
the Importance of strong and able rep
resentation while the tariff is under re-
vision. The interests Of the second
congressional district require especial.

Col. Haskins's familiarity with this
subject and his experience and stand

home protection will not overlook thi
fact in making their choice between
him and Mr.. Plumley.-Burlingt
