made by Mr.. Payne:
The tariff bill is a minimum and maximum
tariff bill. The minimum rates of duty are con-
tanned in the first section and the free list for the

Boys and Cigarettes

The effect of the new Canadian law on
cigarette smoking by boys is shown in
the tradereturns. Although 375, 100000
cigarettes were smoked in Canada since
the first of the year, most of them being
made in the Dominion, the number shows
a decline of 5000, 900 on the figures for
the preceding twelve months. The re-
suits are more striking when it i. remem-
bered that the law was in force only
eight months of the year. 1t forbids the
sale or gift ofcigarettes or cigarette ma
terial to boys of sixteen or less under
penalties of from SO to 500.
Right in this connection it might be
well to give the Vermont law regarding
this same cigarette business. Here it Isl
"a person who sells, gives away, or
furnishes to person under n years of
age cigarettes, cigarette papers, or Gig
arctic wrappers, shall be imprisoned not
more than two months, or fined not
more than $50, or both"

bellows Falls TimeS)

The Republican state convention to
nominate candidate for governor and
candidates for other state Offices will be
held next June probably. This is only
eight months away and it is not too
early to consider the merits of different
candidates for the governorship.
So far there is only one candidate who
steps into the lime light willing Barkis.
His name is Frederick G. Fleetwood and
he lives in Morrisville. He is a good fell
low, good lawyer, able, well educated,
a student of current state problems, a
young man of excellent character, and
standing. He has held numerous county
and town offices and was secretary of
state four years. His platform appears
in another column in this issue. He says
he will not spend penny on heelers and
political suckers. This is refreshing and
will appeal to all who are disguised with
any candidate whose chief claim to dis
tinction is the size of his barrel. Fleet
wood proposes to run on his record as a
citizen, and to discuss live state ques-
tons in as many communities as he can.
If he starts right out and tours the state
as Churchill did in New Hampshire few
years ago and shows he has "the stuff"
in him he may make showing that will
surprise the old FOUNDERS.

The Vermont Covernorship

Fred Fleetwood's candidacy for the
Governorship is progressing very well,
thank you. From all quarters come
good words concerning him and of the
various names thus far mentioned for the
place that of Mr.. Fleetwood is the most
acceptable. The friends of the other
fellows would rather see him win than
any other man if their man is not in it.
To-day Fleetwoodis the strongest cam
didate and unless something unforeseen
now comes up he will be a winner next
June. Here are a few comments:
(Groton Tines
F. G. Fleetwood of Morrisville has an
nounced his candidacy for governor In
straightforward letter to the press he
states his position man fashion. There
is no beating about the bush or maneu-
vering to bring about spontaneous
demand" for his candidacy, He says. he
will spend no money to get the office and
that he will discuss public questions be-
fore the people, candidly placing himself
before the voters on the merits OF the
issues he champions. Those who are ac-
quainted with, and personally know Mr..
Fleetwood, and they are numberless,
know he will make good his word.
Mr. Fleetwood is young man, known
as among the younger element of the
Republican party. He has held the office
OF secretary of state through three ad,
ministrations with distinguished honor
and has been an honest, faithful public
servant.
The announcement of his candidacy,
coming as it does, is a decided change
from the methods usually adopted, and
is hopeful sign for cleaner and better
politics.
The Times is glad to know Mr.. Fleet
wood is candidate for Governor. He
will inject good wholesome lot of en-
thusiasm into the campaign, and make
clean and strong run for the governor
ship, and give the voters something to
think about

We rather like the way Mr. Fleetwood
announces his candidacy for governor
frank, open, square and honest. He
makes it clear, SO far as he is concerned
that there will be no debauchery of the
electorate by the use of undue amounts
of money.
OF course, Mr.. Fleetwood knows. how
ever-as we all know-that no political
canvas can be sustained on mere wind.
In all campaigns, we believe, Eous takes
precedence of every other device by
which to win. The reasonable expendi-
lures of money fol the legitimate conduct
of the canvass are no doubt excepted in
Mr.. Fleetwood's sweeping statement.
Mr.. Fleetwood's declaration will have
tendency, at least, to steady the money
output, if, indeed, any prospective candi-
date had any thought of making what is
called money campaign. So far as we
know, the talked-about candidates have
no desire to spend money corruptly TO
secure the governorship-the tempera-
ments may be said to be directly hostile
to any lavish use of that article,
We are looking therefore, for a clean
canvass for next years nomination. Who
will be nominated is extremely problem
atical. The only frankly declared c3ndi-
date up to now is Mr.. Fleetwood, ana his
announcement has not yet stirred anv
great amount of enthusiasm. Until other
candidates are announced, therefore
there is no way to even make guess on
the outcome. One thing may be said.
