Why eoIt7

A Burlington Grand Army man
threatens to run his pencil through
the names of all the candidates on
the Republican ticket except the nom
inee for governor. This is offered as
an antidote for the threat of those
high and lofty individuals who claim
that they cannot conscientiously vote
for DR.. Mead
Both threats are uncalled for and
unnecessary and entirely absurd. 1t
is kind Of bushwhaoking politics
that is not very popular among self
respecting citizens.
There is just as much reason to
bolt DR.. Mead's nomination as there
was to refuse to vote for Governor
Prouty. Fletcher Proctor or any other
of a long line of distinguished mel,
who have been chosen and have hon
ored the state by honoring the posi-
ton. There was no reason to bolt
then. There is no reason to bolt
now. But 1t is always the malcon-
tents who make the most noise and
are responsible for the disturbance.
The threatened bolt in the present
instance Is not assuming large pro
portions, because when carefully an
alyzed, 1t is found to be a lamentable
Illustration OF personal cussedness
and not the high and lofty flight
through the upper atmosphere in
the search for exalted ideals. Such
pharisaical pretenses usually end in

As the campaign progresses 1t is
evident that the threatened bolt
against DR.. Mead is not assuming any
considerable proportions. His cleo
ton by an overwhelming majority is
as certain as that snow will fall in
the winter. With Mead's election alb
solutely certain the question before
Vermont Republican voters is wheth-
err to encourage the enemies of Presi-
dent Taft by cutting down the Repub-
lican majority in Vermont. President
Taft himself in letter says: 1T has
always seemed to me in times past
that the majority in Vermont played
an important part in encouraging
work by Republicans in other states.

which are the first of the kind TO be
held on the Western slope of the

The Pueblo organizations have
chosen the Denver q Rio Grande rail-
road as the most direct and prefera-
BILE route from here to Grand juno
ton. Many will go by Marshall pass,
and return by Tennessee pass, as the
tickets are good over either route.
The fare from Pueblo to Grand juno

make this scenic trip. Tickets will
be on sale May 10 and IL. and will be

Thirty annual encampments have
been held in this department, all of
them east Of the Rocky mountains in
Colorado and Wyoming; and this will
be the first to be held west of the

to going west of the mountains, but
the Western slope veterans answer
ed, 1T is no further from Denver to
Grand junction, than 1t is from
Grand Junction to Denyer."
The Grand Junction people are
making ample provision for the en-
tertainment of the large number that
will be in attendance on this occas-

BIG VACANT RESIDENCE
is DESTROYED BY FIRE

About 10 O'Clock Saturday night it
was discovered that the large ten
room, frame residence on North Sew
enth street, formerly owned by Le-
Roy G. Hedges, was on fire. BY the
time the department reached the
scene the interior of the residence
was roaring furnace, the fire hav-
ing gotten a big headway before the
discovery was made. The fire de-
partment kept water playing on the
fire for about two hours but the
building is almost a total wreck. 1t
was gutted, completely, and the roof
burned in. Only the walls are left
standing.
The loss is probably about $500
to 81, 900 and is covered by insurance.
The property had been unoccupied
for some time and it is reported that
a deal was pending involving its sale.

property.
