A Good Brand of Politics.

Here are two statements made
recently by Theodore Roosevelt in
public speeches that may well be re-
membered by Vermont voters next
Tuesday,
''Tne only kind of politics I care
for is the kind of politics in which
decency is combined with efficiency.
hold that the only way in which
politician can really serve his party
is by helping that party efficiently
to serve the people,
81 believe in party government,
but the moment the question of hon
esty is involved, I recognize, no party
distinction, or, if I do make any, it
is that it is little more my business
to put the CRATER and crook out of
public life, if he belongs to my party,
than if he belongs to another"

REPUBLICANS Do YOUR DUTY
AT the Next Tuesday This Does Not Necessarily Mean any
Man Need Vote for Mead for Governor.

The Caiedonian earnestly urges
every republican voter to go to the
polls next Tuesday, September 6,
and do his duty. In this connection
The CALIFORNIAN would also remind
the republicans who wish to make it
emphatic that the day has passed
when money can be extravagantly
used to secure a nomination in his
party, that he has only to take MS
ballot into the booth and instead of
making a cross in the square at the
top, under the head of the name,
t'Republican Party" make an x OPP
posite each name, emitting to make
one opposite the name of John A.
Mead for governor, but beginning
with the lieutenant governor go
down the list to the bottom.
Every voter is entitled to ample
time in the booth to do this, and in
case he spoils ballot he has per-
feet right to go back to the ballot
clerk, have the spoiled one cancelled
and get another ballot.
To neglect to vote the state repub-
lican ticket because theNcandidate for
governor is Objectionable, would
simply reduce the republican ma
jority and be no rebuke to the guber-
material candidate. To vote for

assuming a mere me too" attitude
The whole country is experiencing
an awakening in the matter of-pure
politics and progressive legislation
Its force has been felt in Ohio, in
Kansas, in Iowa, in California, in
Georgia and it is fighting for
victory in New York, New Hamp-
shire and Maine. It will be
heard more as the various state
conventions are held. The same spirit
exists among the common people of
Vermont. The press in the prelimin-
airy campaign stood for honest poll
tics more firmly than ever before
Since the state convention several
papers have assumed unprecedented
positions in their adherence to the
cause of honest politics. 1t is a
spirit that the nation or state can
not ignore. It's demands must be
granted. Its purpose is not to de-
stroy the republican party with which
to bring that party up to a standard
that will enable it to serve the higher
purposes of the people. This it is
believed is the best party service a
man can give at this time
To the voter we would say the
opportunity is before you to con-
denim in such an effective way the
corrputing use of money in Vermont
politics that it will be materially
checked. All that is required is
your honest verdict on the ballot
you mark in the voting BOOTH Vote
for corruption and it will continue
with more boldness than ever. Vote
for a square deal and it will come,
if not at this election it will come
at the next. The most encouraging
verdict Vermont can give to the rest
of the country is reputation of dis
honest politics. Let's vote it next
Tuesday.

Our Road Progress.

During the past year Vermont has
built "a LIZ miles of stone roads and
Ito 34 miles of gravel roads at an
expense of $274,000, or an average
of $500 per mile. In the five years
since Charles w. Gates has held the
Office of state highway commissioner
500 miles of highway has been i'm
proved at total cost of $675, 900,
or an average of $3.50 per mile.
Mr.. Gates takes an optimistic view

state. He thinks if we keep up our
of the future of road work in the
rate the next five years the state will
have reached point where the
needs of traffic will be so we'll pro-
vided for that demand for road con-
struction that would involve great
expenditure or an issue of bonds will
have disappeared.-[V Vermont Phoe-

energies in futile internal strife.'-

men in Vermont are realizing now as

When we can get the good people

begin the long delayed progress to-

for it's perfidy. That is just where
the threatened bolt against DR.. Mead
rests Must voters march up to the
ballot box and cast the republican
ticket without question, convinced
meanwhile that in so doing they are
assisting the party to condone 'ssuch
supposed crime?'' That is the limit
of Bourbon1sm. If any republican is
satisfied that DR.. Mead is an unfit
man for governor, or that he gained
the nomination by methods improper
and illegal, which it is time to put
the stamp of disapproval on, let such
voter scratch the ticket, we say. He
may still count himself a good repub-

The Coming State Election.


1t is seldom if ever that Vermont
has seen so little interest in state
politics, with an election only two
weeks away, as prevails generally at
this time throughout the state.
1t almost looks as If the republi-
can voters intended to stay at home
election day to a considerable extent,
except in few towns where rep
resentative fights are on.
The reason of this apparent indif-
ference is pretty definitely located in
the general disgust over the methods
adopted by the candidate for governor
in obtaining his nomination; and his
further seeming defiance of the pre-
vailing opinion that he won his nomi-
nation by the use of money in ques-
tionable ways. The republican plat
form, as adopted, could hardly have
gone further in suggesting that DR..
Mead make known in detail his pre-
convention campaign expenses, than
it did in recommending legislation to
compel future candidates for party
nominations to publish an itemized
account of such expenses.
After his nomination DR.. Mead
came before the convention and with
out blinking an eyelash said: GAS to
the publication of campaign expenses
by the candidates, l am in favor of
laws to that effect" Yet he continu-

Should Scratch the Ticket.

Loyal Republican writes to the
Free Press as follows:-
''Dr. Mead having been legally
nominated by republicans for the
highest Office in the state, if he has
committed any political misdemean-
ors, the party in nominating him has
condoned such supposed crime"
That is singular doctrine to preach
in this day of individual political con-
science and action. 1t is logic that
kicks. If the party has condoned
political misdemeanor in nominating
a candidate, it is the duty~of voters
who are patriots, as well as repub-

editorial article, has now become
obsolete, for while it is true that
there are farms in New England as
elsewhere which must be abandoned
for individual reasons, it is also fact
that they are less numerous in this
section than ever before. The West
ward movement, which drained this
beautiful region of it's workers, has
now lost it's force, and, it may be,
has been reversed. The slogan, West
ward, ho!" has become, sBack to
New England" and as the cost of
farming and of farm land in the West
increases, and the productiveness of
the hard-worked soil becomes less
and less, the movement eastward to
restore the natural equilibrium will
gain added force. The possibilities
opened to scientific farming in New
England are great, and the advan-
tages of healthy, sociable rural life
here is superior to those of any other
farming district in the world. The
land is cheap, the prices paid for pro-
ducts high, and, with intelligent
treatment, the yield is very good.

ed to remain silent as to hissow ex-
penses.
The rank and nile of voters can put
but one construction upon such sill
ence: DR.. Mead's expenditures to
secure the high honor of the nominal
ton for governor were so large or of
such a nature, or both, that he dare
not publish them; and the voters
don't like such methods.
Nevertheless, it seems to the
News, the republican voters have a
duty to perform at the polls election
day and it sincerely trusts they will
do that duty. Congressman Plumley
and Foster are deserving of the en-
couragement of every voter who be-
lieves in the progressive principles of
the republican party. This is gener-
ally conceded.
The republican state ticket, be-
ginning with the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
as we'll as the county tickets, are
worthy of the unanimous support of
every member of the party and none
ought to suffer reduced majority be-
cause the candidate for governor is
Objectionable. None of these candi-
dates, who have been faithful to the
state and the party, deserve to be
punished
Republican voters who desire to
rebuke Dr. Mead's political money
| methods have it in their power to do
SO by emitting to vote for him.
Every voter understands, if he gives
the matter a moments thought, that
failure to vote the balance of the
republican ticket will be no rebuke
to Mead's campaign methods or a
warning to any future candidate who
is inclined to the use of money lille
| ultimately, for if the vote of the
| whole ticket falls off it will be as
| cribed by Mead to other causes than
d1sapproval of his own pre-conven-
ton conduct.
The number of votes which Mead
falls behind the balance of the repub-
lican ticket will be the ratio of the
rebuke of his political methods by
republican party. There will be no
other possible way to account for his
slump at The polls.-[Northfield

PRESS COMMENT.


1t is an exceptional and peculiar
situation in Vermont politics when
a candidate for governor on the re-
publican ticket cannot stand squarely
on the platform adopted by the con-
vention that nominated him. Yet we
have that situation this year. DR..
Mead, under suspicion of having used
much money in securing his nomina-
ton, refuses to trust the voters and
defies party sentiment as declared in
the platform on which he is seeking
an election. The platform recon-
mends such legislation as shall COM
pei candidates for party nominations
and political offices to make public
an itemized account of their cam
paign expenses, and although he has
been asked, DIR. Mead declines to do
this, and, further, he ignores in every
way that part of the party's plat
form-he defies the party which he
asks to elect him governor. He can
not trust it.
Can, then, the party trust DR.. Mead
in the chief executives chair? The
Times is of the opinion it cannot, and
that it is the duty of every republican
voter who has the good of the party
seriously at heart to cast his ballot in
opposition to DR.. Mead. His opponent,
MI. watson, we D6l16Ve TO De equally
if not better, qualified to perform the
duties of governor, and he better
represents the people of Vermont
than does the gentleman from Rut-
land. If the republican party of the
state is to go ahead, is to continue
| the majority party, it must have men
of conscience and of the finest sense
of integrity as it's leaders, and no
thing will help any more to this end
| than a rebuke to DR.. Mead and his
methods. The party cannot long
continue to preach one thing in it's
platform and elect to the highest Of
| flee in the state men who practice
| the opposite. It must show it's plat
form professions to be sincere. The
| Times is of the opinion that the can
didate of the opposite party more
nearly stands for what the republican
platform calls for than does it's own
/ candidate. Every republican vote
cast for him will be an effective pro-
| test against Mead methods. But to
make the protest double effective,
| it should be the effort of every one
| to secure as large a vote as possible
| for the balance of the state ticket and
| by giving Congressman Plumley, who
has shown healthy signs of progress
iveness in his short term in congress,
| the largest kind of a majority

? DIR. Mead on Dogs.

Governor-to-be Mead spoke well
when he said at the Grange picnic
the other day that in order to protect
sheep and sheep-raisers some statute
must be enacted whereby the owner
of dog should become responsible
for damage done by such animal. He
would have the owner issue a bond
when he receives his dog license,
said bond being of an amount suffi-
Gent to indemnify the owner of
sheep which might become prey to the
dog. This law might do away with
a large number of the mongrels and
licensed animals which live only
to annoy and kill, and Mr.. Mead
could do a great deal worse than in
corporate this suggestion in his mes
sage to the embly.-[P oultney

every candidate on the ticket, except
the governor, by placing an x OPP
posite the name of the candidate, be-
ginning with the name of the lieu
tenant governor, and emitting the
K in the square at the top of the
ticket would be to support a worthy
list of men, deserving of the vote
of every republican.
In this way, the voters who be-
lieve that John A. Mead bought his
nomination for the governorship,
would not only be able to administer
a singing rebuke to such money
methods, but it would be most en-
phatic notice to future aspirants
to Office, whose principal qualifica-
tions are the dollar sign, that the
day for the extravagant use of money
to secure a nomination has gone
by.

which will appear first in order on
