Marlboro's Regular Candidates.

Editor Reiotmer:
Having seen in last weeks issue Of The
Reiormcr communication from "lnde-
pendent regarding William u. Houghton
as an independent candidate for represen'
tatiyc OF this town in the general assem-
bly, | thought perhaps few words re-
gariing the regular nominee Of the two
leading parties would not be out OF place
nj this time.
Henry 4. Whitney, the candidate of the
republican party, was born in Marlboro
unon what is known as Hlgley hill, and
has always resided upon the old homestead
farm of his father, demonstrating TO the
,ouug men of this town and vicinity that
the old home farm is the place TO achieve
success. having by industry, Thrift and
economy acquired competency suiilcleht
for his maintenance through life. Mr.
Whitney was educated in the common
schools Of this town and at Powers instl-
tute in Bemardston Mass, and has always
kept in touch with the needs OF education,
being a scholar all his life lie has cdu-
Gated his family in the best schools OF his
own state and OF other states. and Is ldeii'
tilted with everything pertaining to the
public good He is a man who has repeat.

public trust and always has been ialthiui
in discharge of every duty lie Is today
one OF the board OF selectmen, has admin.
i.tered many estates, and is a man OF
sound judgment. strong convictions and
staunch principles.
George G. Iligley, the regular demo
cratic candidate. was born IN Marlboro
and has always resided in this town eS-
cept one or two years when he tried to
better his fortune in the west. returning
TO his native town and purchasing, the
farm where the late Clark Warren lived
and died He finds that in the hills OF old
Vermont there is a living and more than
a living and this he has demonstrated by
his own industry Although past the
meridian OF life he is still vigorous and at
tends to all his farm duties He also Is a
man whom his town has delighted to
honor. having filled many places of pub

No vote cast in the interest of honesty

that it will do no good to vote for can
didate whose chances of victory are slight
is no argument at all. The consideration
which should influence every republican
voter next Tuesday is whether he should
help elect a man who is afraid to let the
public know what he paid to get the
nomination.
No person who disapproves the methods
used by DR.. Mead previous to the conven-
ton can vote for him at election without
subscribing to the iniquitous doctrine that
nomination is equivalent to absolution
from all political sin. For the sake of our
good name can we afford to subscribe to
this doctrine?

rior there were lines across his brow that
indicated strain that comes of battling
in the political arena. His illusions to
the grand old republican party were warm,
ly applauded even by men who fought hard
to defeat him in the state convention.
Leighton =. Slack suggested that local
contests for town representative were
conducive to getting out large vote in
off years, and a significant grin overspread
the features of several of the Brattleboro
contingent. The speaker dealt in the
usual stock talk about the deeds Of the
republican party and insisted that the re-
publican leaders have got to get out and
busy themselves during the next few
days. The enthusiasm that Mr. Slack put
into his remarks was Characteristic and
showed plainly that he felt the need OF
concerted effort upon the part of the par
ty workers.

missing with the enemy. This was the
theme he followed and he never lost an
opportunity during the Is or % minutes

that insurgents and progressive republi-

said that he could not remember when so
many visions assailed the republican party
as at present. He said that Vermont re-

to set himself up as a progressive republi-

Parcels Post.
(Fitchburg Sentinel, J

At the December session Of congress
all interested in the parcels post measure
should unite and urge the passage OF tins
measure. The country is still face to face
with the absurdity of receiving and trans
hitting through the mails parcels from
European countries four times as large as
those which an American citizen can de
post in his local office. There are prac'
tically but two classes OF people who
would suffer any loss by the extension OF
the parcels post, the express companies
and those country merchants who fear the
competition of the big mail order houses.
They have the latter competition now,
and it is not certain that it would be any
more severe if the law were enlarged, as
proposed. The whole country, outside OF
these two classes, would be benefited by
the law, The postal authorities are con
WINGED that the service would be a con-
siderable revenue producer. They believe
that it would make many rural Tree, de-
livery routes which are now operated, at
a loss self-sustaining. So fixed is the lat
ter belief that the postmaster-general has
urged that even if congress will not pro
vide full parcels post. it might at least
permit it on the rural free delivery routes,
between the terminal of each route, 1t Is
singular that a measure of this KIND, OF
such large value, and which has SO little
opposition, and that purely selfish, can
not be enacted into law.
