Gates Not a Candidate

The Messenger Monday printed the
announcement of e. W. Gates of Frank
lin, State Highway Commissioner, that
he will not seek the republican nomina-
tion for governor. This comes III flat
contradiction to a st. Adams special
dispatch to the Boston Sunday Herald,
which also appeared in Vermont mora.
ing papers Monday in which it was stat
ed that MIR. Gates had announced his
intention to seek the nomination. Mr..
Gates announcement is as follows:
The more or less frequent appearance
CT my name in the State press for the
past four months in connection with the
govenorship and the numerous request
that have come to me from persons all
over the State that | allow my name to
be used in the present canvass have
been entirely without my previous
knowledge or solicitation.
have repeatedly stated that | was
not seeking the office and on account Of
my official duties have persisteutly re-
fused to consider the matter seriously.
For the past few weeks however, the call
from the press has been so frequent
and the personal requests that an.
nounce my candidacy have been so nu
merous and insistent, that have felt
compelled to give the matter careful
consideration and make puolc my de-
cision.
After looking the situation over very
carefully and considering the arguments
advanced by those who desire me to be
come a candidate at this time must sa,
that | am in hearty sympathy with this
main principles so freely expressed te
me and | clearly recognize the obliga
ton of any man to heed the call of his
fellow citizens when coming along the
line of right and duty, but am also
mindful of a present duty already as
sumed by me and the resulting obliga
tions to the people of the whole State
to the Governor who appointed me fol-
a definite term of office, and to IN,
county supervisors, and the town official
in every town 10 the State who are ca
laborers with me in the interest of goo,
roads.
New laws and new methods or roat
improvement are on trial and it seem
clearly my duty not to leave the worl
at this time.
To become candidate for the gov
ernorship under our present practic
means to announce ones candidacy ant
then wage vigorous campaign to st
cure the nomination. This, under pres
ent conditions, can not conscientieus
do and continue in the employ of tn
State.
For these reasons | must adhere t
my original determination and refuse t.
announce my candidacy. wish, in
word to express my gratitude to m
friends who have 80 signaliy favored IN
with their confidence.

Referendum

Direct nominations and referendum
supplement each other. The first pass
upon men, the second on measures.
The state grange have unanimously
passed resolutions favoring referendum
of the act relating to the traffic of intox-

contrary to the theory of our representa-
tive form of government, yet when a
wide, general sentiment exists that an
act vitally affecting the public welfare
should be submitted to popular vote, the
question whether such act should be re
pealed or continued in force should after
such act has had fair trial be snb-
miteed to the people for determination.
At the same time such measures as is
proposed as a substitute for the existing
law should be submitted.

Direct Nomination

The people. should directly select
candidates whom they directly elect.
The caucus and delegate conventions
are largely diScredited AS representa-,
tives of the popular will. Direct nomi-
nations make candle acies spring from
the people. In a state like Vermont,
the nomination is generally equivalent
to an election. Hence, popular interest
should be fully conferred on the first
choice of candidates through direct
primaries and this choice should not h'
left to the mercenary manipulation of (
caucus or the interested combinations o.

A person could not help but
notice last Saturday that the
houses which advertised did the
main bulk of the business. Of
course every store in the town
had a good trade, but the fellows
who were up to date enough to
invite the people to come in and
see them, and gave some induce
ments for doing so were crowded
with trade. all day long. You
simply can not get away from
he proposition. If the merchant
expects to do. very much business
business in this day and age he
simply must use some printers

goods. The people in this dav
read great deal, and where they
are invited is where they go.
