PUB1IsHING CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

PUBLISHING CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.
Many people IA Vermont take NJ J.
Hapgood Of Peru to be good Old soul,
somewhat oblrusive but harmless withal.
Perhaps John A. Mead Of Rutland
thought 70 when Mr.. Hlapgood addressed
q communication to him relating 70 fling
statement Of campaign expenses soon
after the coming Republican state con
yention Mr. Hapgood lntimated that
he, as candidate ior governor Of YER
mont. was willing to ale such state
ment; and 4 letter to Frederick g. Fleet
wood. the third candidate for governor
elected the information that Mr. Fleet
wood was in perfect harmony with the
idea
However Mr.. Mead had not replied
to Mr.. Hapgooa's letter uP % Yesterday,
according to the latter's statement, and
had not even acknowledged that he had
received the letter Alr Mead ought to
know that the entire state Of Vermont
feels much a. Mr. Hapgood does in this
matter and that the movement for pub
Lofty OF campaign expenses thus started,
IS likely to result IN the enactment Of o
law which shall require just this thing, a
law modelled somewhat after the Massa-
chusetis statute Then NJ John A.
Mead Or any other Mead would be com
PEELED to dieulae just what the candi-
dates expend IN their pre-convention can
vases
Meanwhile. not having such legal
requirement, the state Of Vermont would
esteem il great favor if Mr.. Mead
should agree with Mr. Hapgooa and AIr-
Fleetwood to publish shortly after the
Republican state convention an accurate
statement q expenditures. There Is no
doubt tlat an three win have expendi-
lures Of greater or lesser extent for It Il
absolutely impossible to 60 through a
campaign without paying something for
CORE .pondence and other details. The
state Is with Mr. Hapeood in bis idea
fully convinced Of rs fairness and 81
its benefits 70 the commonwealth, Mr
Hapgood may never b elected governor
Of Vermont, but he has some decidedly
sound ideas and high ideals and both
are embodied m the request which, up 60
the present time Mr. Mead has ignored
and Mr. Fleetwood has honored, end
honored by full acquieseence.
