Says the Burlington Free Press Many
towns have nominated unusually strong
candidates for the house of representa-
tives, and there is a manifest disposition
to choose the most available men where
there are two or more aspirants for the
honor of representing the town in the
lower branch ofthe legislature. This
is as it should be for the interests of a
community will not be thoroughly
looked after unless its representative
is one who is able to hold his own in
competition with other communit les
There is broader aspect of this whole
question, however, and this is discussed
by the Montpelier Journal as follows -
1t behooves voters of Vermont tc
make sure now that their represe natives
are inclined to carry out their wishes
with reference to taxation az well as
other important questions instead OF
waiting until representatives are elected
and then protesting because representa-
tive government does not represent.

compiled his annual report, which

increase in deposits in the Savings
Banks and Trust Companies of Yer
mont, over three million dollars as
compared with the preceding re-

sixty millions. Vermont has evi-

Vote I

A sovereign duty OF every citizen
should be and is to exercise the
right of suffrage. 1t ought to be an
offence against the law of the land
for a citizen not to vote on election
day.
Vote early.
Don't stay away from the polls
with the idea that your man OF
party is so sure in your particular
constituency that your vote is moi
necessary.
He who can vote and does moi
exercise the right, is doing a grave
wrong to his fellow citizens, Is
failing in duty to the State.
We repeat, vote. 1t is a duty
YOU owe to the community. The
franchise is privilege not to bt
lightly thought of or carelessly
trifled with.
Vote next Tuesday.

There are a number of reasons
why it is important til at the whole
republican ticket in Vermont
should have full vote this year,
therefore let every republican turn
out to vote, and show to the
country at large, all eyes being now
turned toward Vermont, that our
organization is vigorous, its ranks
full, that it is full Of courage, intact
in numbers and strong and sincere
in its devotion to party principles.
Let us have an emphatic declare
ton at the polls to this effect. Let
every republican voter act upon
the assumption that his vote and
his effort are needed to secure the
success of the state, district, county
and town tickets. 1t is the MAORI
ty that will tell that will influence
other states, and if it should be
largely reduced it will almost be a
defeat, and the cry will soon sweep
over the land that republicanism in
Vermont is on the wane. A big
majority will cheer the hearts of
republicans all over the country
Bear in mind every republican vo-
ter who does not vote next Tues
day practically helps his opponents
to a vote by depriving his own
ticket Of one.

Comment.

Justice for all men" is the motto Of
the Independence party. a. of the old
parties. whom il Intends to put out Of
business ..hy hook or hy crook" Too
many OF us lack that saving grace, a
sense Of humar.
Our privileges are many, and Who
can doubt that the greatest Of these Is
that We are not compelled 10 give evil
dence against ourselves in criticism OF
others.
Joseph Msdill Patterson, son of X. W.
Patterson, owner aud editor of the Chi
cago Tribune, has given the other mil
lionaires "jolt" through an exposition
Of their social example. It's always
a timely topic.
There could be no surer proof of
Grass ignorance than is the attempt 10
show that Mr.. Taft is untitled for the
most honorable position because Of his
religious proclivities. Snch statement
is as viciously untrue in its way as is
the charge that the candidate is an enc
INV of Labor because of his comprehen-
sive view of Rights.
Mr.. Taft's public utterances concern
ing public affairs at home and in the
outlying possessions certainly denote
good nature, tempered to usefulness by
A thorough understanding Of the diff
cul,ies of craftsmanship gained through
much official experience and he has al
so a sense Of responsibility for public
utterances. which is a good attain ment
in these days. The preachers. the poets
and the students of affairs have furn-
ished enough ideas to last until the
millennium and such service is an in.
dispensable aid, though the easier part
of the shaping of events. For the legis-
lators who are to resolve as much as they
can of all high thinking into workable
plan are confronted by stubborn facts
which do not enter into the considera-
ton of the speakers and writer's who are
80 apt to make obtaining craftsmanship
seem behind the times. Progressive
ness on paper is the easiest thing you
know. Measured utterances, and the
caution and prudence of far-seeing,
which is sometimes called blind conserv-
stism may, in a statesman, betoken fine
sense and keen interest in the welfare
of the striving workers rather than cal
lous indifference.
| The Advancement Of Mr.. Taft to the
front will neither arouse fren2ed enthus-
iasm, nor furious disappointment later
on. In the event of his election there
would probably be such an extension Of
the industrial system as would provide
work for many of the unemployed.
And while "all hands at work" would
not be fulfilneut of reasonable expec-
tations it is certainly progressive state
of things. Fixing of rates Oh the one
hand, aud arbitrary fixing of wages
on The other, tariff for revenue only, as
well as trial of many schemes for get
ting even with the predatory rich"
might yield confusion, as the best re-
suit.
Individual policy should be formed
by taking views from every stand
point, not forgetting just view of per-
sonal Importance in the matter.

Vermont's Influence,
Significant Testimony Regarding Faith
Put in the Vermont Majority in
One Crisis.

One Crisis.
Newport, VT, August "a, A good
deal of comment, pro and con, has been
made regarding the influence of Yer
mont's Republican majority in Septem-
Der upon the November election as re-
CARDS the whole country. There has
been shown a wide d ference of opin.
ion, perhaps here in Vermont. Certain
newspapers have secuted the idea IN
uumstakabe language, aud some lead
ing citizens have been reported ~ put.
ting no faith in Vermont AZ "A Political
Barometer"
As bearing upon this subject, a stat
ment made by the Hon. c. l.. Marsh,
President b. j, Kendall Co, of Enos-
hnrg Falls, certainly indicates that III
one critical election at least, the action
of Vermont in September had very
important bearing. In this respect Mr.
Marsh authorizes the following state
ment
"Duringsthe first campaign between
Mckinley and Bryan | was in Mime
apolis for several days before the cleo
ton was held here in Vermont; was
stopping with Mr.. Record he was a
director in bank in Minneapolis and
he told me at that time of the year the
banks there borrowed money from hanks
in New York to buy mp the crops, and
up to that time they were not able to
get dollar on account of the condition
of the country, but the next day after
the election in Vermont, word was tele-
graphed from New York banks that
they could have all the money they
wanted; the large republican majority
of Vermont gave them confidence that
the country would go all right. So
much for large republican majority in
Vermont"

The ticket put in nomination last
July by the republicans of Essex
county is good one, and deserves
the support of every republican i'll
the county. The integrity of the
nominees cannot be questioned,
their probity is undoubted, and
their ability is conceded. Remem-
Der, the larger the republican vote
of each town, the larger the repre-
sentation is secured to it in the
county convention. Let us give a
full vote to every man put in nom
ination.

Republicans, see to it that no To-

ing a loyal support to each and

The state is today better equipped
than ever since Cleveland was elected in
1892 to give a big republican majority.
The only thing that will prevent it is
the indifference of rank and file.
If Vermonters want Bryan and four
years of fearful experiment, they can
give his cause no better boost than by
staying at home and permitting the
normal state majority to fall below stan.
