Gentlemen In regard to your Nor

after having given it thorough trial,
that have never found anything to
take it's place for keeping horses
foot in good healthy growing condi
tion, and it is an absolute preventive
and cure for thrush.
It is hardly worth while for me to
write you this testimonial, as the
quantities use must show you that I
appreciate it's value.
I hope to see you over in this part of
the country before long. when l will
show you what your liniment does for
my horses feet. | can say one thing,
and that is, if it is used during the
period of hard frozen roads, one will
never have hoofbound horses, as it
keeps up the circulation and there is
no chance for congestion or fever.
have used the liuiment in cases of sore
throat and colds for my horses inter

of bruises, cuts, or calking in winter.
I don't think it has it's equal.

For a newspaper that sat a-straddle
of the fence through the recent can
vass for the republican nomination for
the governorship, the esteemed North

in criticising the after-conven ton
attitude of some of it's contemporaries
that had piece of the fight.

Hot Shot in Burlington.
The government of Burlington at
this time is neither one of laws OF
men, but of one man. The mayor OF
Montpelier stands in the class OF
Gaynor to let the law take its course.
How different he is from our pop-gur
mayor, who runs up and down the
streets usurping the duties of the
police, the charity department, the
board of aldermen and everything els'
including the morals of the town.

The Campaign.
The question is, how much of
sentiment in the republican party O
Vermont the st. Johnsbury Caledonia
represents when it refuses to supper
the nomination of DR.. John A. Meat
for the governorship. That there i
disaffection in the ranks is plat
enough. That there are some republi
cans that will not vote for the hea
} of the ticket at the polls in Septembe
is plain enough. Some of these me
come out boldly and say so. Other
smile and say nothing, which is sti
more significant. And still other

the democratic candidate, without an

Quoting that part of the Monitor s
editorial of two weeks ago in which
we said the spending of large sums of
money in pre- convention campaigns
was not the ideal political situation,
the st. Adams Messenger said:
The Messenger has no disposition
to keep nagging on some phases of
the campaign that have been out Of
the way by the verdict of the state
convention, but it must remain true to
what it believes to be the principle
involved in the whole contest. So it
congratulates the esteemed Monitor
upon admitting, after the horse has
been stolen, that it is willing to lock
the stable door.
Let's see, it was in March or April,
1910, we believe. when the Messen-
ger, after allowing stolen horses in
1906 and 1903, swung the door shut.
Now in view of the general belief that
the east side is a little slow anyway,
and that St. Adams is the town and
the Messenger the paper where spe-
cial luminous lights of premonition
usually fall, the Monitors three or
four months behindhand entry is not
to be wondered at.

COUNTY POLITICS AGAIN.

Today caucuses for the election of
delegates to the relblican state con-
vention called at Newport on Wednes-
day, July 81, will be held. At that
time candidates for the various coun-
ty Offices will be placed in nomination
on the republican ticket and one or
two lively county political bouts dis
posed of.
The principal contest appears to be
over the probate judge nomination.
Judge F. E. Alfred who has held the
office for number of years and con-
Quoted the same in most efficient
manner, desires denomination. His
contestant, F. E. Miles, is now referee

tor has taken no part in the canvas S,

again made judge Of probate for Or
leans county.
The next contest that is taking the
attention of the voter is the struggle

nered affair and liable to develop some
dust before the finish. The present
incumbent, L. D. Miles, who has held
the Office for many years, does not ask
for the office again, and the three mer
after the place are, E. J. Hill, W w.
