PRESS COMMENT.
Mead a Defeated Man.

The indignant outcry raised by
the Rutland publicity bureau over the
certainty of the presentation by Chitten-
den county of the name of the Hon.
Charles P. Smith to the State republican
convention demonstrates the desperate
situation in which its candidate is placed.
When a publicity bureau resorts to call
ing names and the use of violent language,
and the making of faces the public can
always know it faces defeat.
A leading citizen of Rutland county
who was in Burlington yesterday de-
clared the voters of that county as
whole did not want Mead. A travelling
man. who had just come from the Marble
City said another citizen declared that
while the county would probably sup
port Mead in the State convention many
leading republicans were hoping some
thing would happen there to prevent his
nomination.
A reliable and respected resident of
Barre said yesterday that not only was
there little Mead sentiment in the
Granite City, but there was a positively
bitter feeling that he should try to rape
the governorship by the methods that
have been adopted.
These are but samples of statements
that are coming from all parts of
the state. showing that the people are
becoming aroused to the true nature of
the contest which has been thrust upon
them, and are determined that they shall
be permitted to choose their own candi-
date for the governorship.
In the meantime the more the Mead
papers indulge in signs of distress over
the discussion of Mr.. Smith name in the
canvass for governor, the more they dis
close their apprehension of whatit means
for their candidate. And well they may
for according to trustworthy advices
from different counties, Mead is already
a defeated Burlington Free Press.

Leslie Hayford of St. Johnsbury has

a threa. would be made by a man worthy
of the governorship of Vermont.
If we understand the spirit of the times
it is for cleaner and more honest methods
in politics. it is for Improvement and not
acquiesence in the practices of the past, it
is call for real merit in candidate and
not for his money. To all of these things
DIR. Mead so far has turned deaf ear.
To win he and his friends would have the
republican party of Vermont ignore the
demands enumerated above. They
would have it a party wed to the past
and Indifferent to the demands to purge
itself. For these reasons we believe the
nomination of DR.. Mead would seriously
weaken the republican party in Vermont
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1910-03-16
A Menace to His Party.

The charge against Mead is that he has
a campaign headquarters, is spending
money for rent, manager, postage, ETC.,
that he has paid agents on the road
creating a demand for his candidacy; and
that he is spending money for advertise
ing. The only argument that can be
brought against a campaign of this
nature is that poor man can never be-
come a candidate against rich man.
There is no actual corrupting of the
electorate so long as the campaign is
conducted along educational lines. and
the voter is not influenced by the use of
money or promise of preferment.-T Bel
lows Falls Times.
The charge that Dr. Mead is paying
for campaign headquarters and is spend
ing money in other legitimate ways is
silly. That is exactly what has been
done tor many years by nearly every
| candidate for office and by every party
that undertakes a campaign. The time
has gone by when the Office seeks the
candidate. The candidate who gets into
office must seek it with all the honest
persuasion and power he has if he gets
| there. The papers which are CONCERNING
| DIR. Mead for his present canvass for
nomination are straining at a gnat. 1t
has seemed to US thus far that DIR. Mead
has kept within the bounds of propriety
and decency. 1t does not seem
to us reprehensible either, for candidate
to employ men of good character to advo-
cate his cause throughout the state
burlington Daily News.
The above are fair samples of the
Mead supporters in defence OF Mr.. Mead's
methods. They studiously ignore the
open statement of DIR. Mead that if Mr..
Fleetwood is governor now he will know
that he has had a race and that he did
have bank account. This statement is
either bluff or an open threat that he
will overthrow his opponent by the use
of money. Neither such a bluff nor such

the village better results than it is now
getting for its $4.7Oo spent yearly for
fire protection the spirit of opposition is
no discredit. No man should vote for a
thing he thinks is not for the best inter
est of the village as a whole but he should
consider fully and without prejudice all
the arguments before deciding how he
will vote. To aid him in his decision we
state the following facts.
The cost ola paid department suffi-
cient to protect the village will be but
little more than a volunteer department.
A paid department will be able to res
pond much more quickly than men en-
gagged in earning their living in different
parts of the village. The quick response
would enable them to extinguish many
fires that otherwise would be very de-
structive and expensive. Getting to fires
before they are too far advanced would
permit the use of chemicals in many
cases and avoid the loss caused by the
use of water.
The combination hose and chemical
engine is the most approved apparatus
for fighting fires in use today. 1t weighs
about three tons and is so heavy it
would require three horses to handle it
with any speed and certainty on the
hard grades in this village. Therefore a
motor would seem to be more convenient
and sure than horse power. There
probably would not be more times that
motor would fail to get the apparatus
to fire promptly than there would be
when horses could not do it. Three
horses could not be operated on our
winter roads so we'll as the motor.
Everywhere paid departments have
been installed advantages have been Sc
cured in the matter of insurance. There
are no more dangerous fire risks in st.
Johnsbury than in other Vermont cities
and villages and yet insurance rates are
higher here than in most other Vermont
communities of equal size that have
better fire protection. Therefore it
would seem to be good business to i'm
prove fire protection. Insurance
companies consider paid departments as
better protection elsewhere and they
would consider it the same here.
The CALIFORNIAN does not wish to be
dictatorial in this matter. Its columns
are open to any man who does not
agree with the statements made above
and wishes to refute them over his own
name. 1t invites full discussion between
now and April 10. 1t advocates the in
stallation of paid department along
lines similar to those previously publish
ed because it believes it would give
better protection to life and property
and would prove benefit to the village
as a whole.

Directs People of United States to Answer
Questions In the Census.
By the President of the United States

DIRECTS EeOp1e OF united STATES TO Answer
Questions In the Census.
By the President of the United States
of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas by the Act of Congress
approved July 2, 1909. the Thirteenth
Decennial Census of the United States is
to be taken, beginning on the fifteenth
day of April, nineteen hundred and ten;
and
Whereas a correct enumeration of the
population every ten years is required by
the Constitution of the United States for
the purpose of determining the
representation of the several States in
the House of Representa- and
Whereas it is of the utmost Importance
to the interests of all the people of the
United States that this census should be
complete and accurate report of the
population and resources of the country:
Now, therefore, l. William Howard
TAFT, President of the United States OF
America, do hereby declare and make
known that, under the act aforesaid, it
is the duty of every person to answer all
questions on the. census schedules apply
ing to him and the family to which he
belongs, and to the farm occupied by him
or his family. and that any adult refus-
ing to do so is subject to penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is to Sc
cure general statistical information
regarding the population and resources
of the country, and replies are required
from individuals only in order to permit
the compilation of such general statistics.
The census has nothing to do with tax
alton, with army or jury service, with
the compulsion of school attendance,
with the regulation of immigration, or
with the enforcement of any national,
state, or local law or ordinance, nor can
any person be harmed in any way by fur
nishing the information required. There
need be no fear that any disclosure will
be made regarding any individual person
or his affairs. For the due protection of
the rights and interests of the persons
furnishing information every employee of
the Census Bureau is prohibited, under
heavy penalty, from disclosing any in
formation which may thus come to his
knowledge.
/ therefore earnestly urge upon all per-
sons to answer promptly, completely,
and accurately all inquiries addressed to
them by the enumerators or other
employees of the Census Bureau, and
thereby to contribute their share to-
ward making this great and necessary
public undertaking a success.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

Mr.. FleetwOod'S Position.

F. 6. Fleetwood, of Morrisville, ap-
peared before the voters of ST. Johnsbury
last Friday evening and made a state
ment of his position on state issues as
recorded elsewhere in this paper. The
address was largely a reiteration of
what he had expressed in his platform
published throughout the press of Yer
mont and emphasizes the earnestness of
Mr.. Fleetwood i'll support of his declara-
tons. Some of the things he has thus
declared for should receive earnest consid-
Grafton In his address Mr.. Fleetwood
made it plain that under present condi-
tons it is impossible to conduct sue
cessful campaign without the use Of con-
siderable money, that the choice as
finally made is not the verdict of the
people, but of the candidate and his hired
organizers and promoters. This we
believe the average Vermonter will agree
with Mr.. Fleetwood is entirely wrong.
| But he does not leave the matter merely
| condemned he proposes definite RENE
| dy in direct nominations and the passage
| of corrupt practice act. In assuming
this position Mr.. Fleetwood takes a
position in advance Of any other candi-
date for the governorship and one that
| should give him hearty support.
| Conscious as he is that money talks
in Vermont politics, Mr.. Fleetwood holds
firm to the position he first assumed
that he will spend no money in seeking
| the governorship, that he will not force
himself upon the people, but is ready to
serve them along the lines announced in
his platform if they so desire. Thus he
stands before the people as a man who
values his principles above temporary
success and this should win for him in
creased strength with Vermonters.
In the matter of court reform he does
not confne himself to g1ittering generali-
ties, which may mean something or
nothing as the occasion makes most
expedient, but he comes out with definite
suggestions which even the lavman can
see would effect considerable savings.
They are given elsewhere and should be
studied. The use of state money in
building and maintaining state high
ways is another definite declaration on
Mr.. Fleetwood's part.
Mr.. Fleetwood's clear and unsolicited
statement that he believes the party
pledges made to the laboring man two
years ago should be fulfilled is unrefut-
able evidence of his honesty and his
position regarding party platforms as
party pledges is one that would bring
increased strength and influence to any
party who will follow his suggestions.
Thus the people of Vermont have be-
fore them man in the full possession of
| his faculties, with an honest and honor
able public record, pledged to work for
| definite reforms in response to the intelli-
| gent demands of his time. IF these re-
forms are dear enough to the people so
they will give their enthusiastic efforts
| toward their accomplishment the cause
