Barre Times Bolts Mead.

II is an exceptional and peculiar situa-
tion in Vermont politics when a candi-
date for governor on the Republican tick
ct cannot stand squarely on the platform
adopted by the convention that nomi-
mated him. Yet We have that situation
this year. DIR. Mead, under suspicion Of
having used much money in securing his
nomination, refuses to trust the voters
and defes party sentiment as declared in
the platform on which be is seeking an
election. The platform recommends such
legislation rs shall compel candidates for
party nominations and political offices to
make public an itemized account OF their
campaign expenses and, although he has
been asked, DE-. Mead declines TO do this.
and, further, be ignores in every way
that part of the party's platform-he de-
hes the party which be asks to elect him
governor. He cannot trust ii.
Can, then, the party trust DIR. Mead in
the chief executives chair ? The Times
Is OF the opinion it cannot, and that ii is
the duty OF every Republican voter who
has the good OF the party seriously at
heart to cast his ballot in opposition 20
DR.. Mead. His opponent, Mr.. Watson,
we believe to be equally, II not better,
qualified to perform the duties Of govern
or, and he better represents the people OF
Vermont than does the gentleman from
Rutland. II the Republican party of the
state is to 60 ahead, is to continue the
majority party, it must have men of con-
science and Of the finest sense OF integrity
as its leaders, and nothing will help any
more to this end than a rebuke to DR..
Mead and his methods. The party can
long continue to preach one thing in
its platform and elect to the highest office
in the state men who practice the oppo-
site. Il must show its platform probes
sions to be sincere. The Times is OF the
opinion that the candidate OF the oppo-
site party more nearly stands for what
the Republican platform calls for than
does it's own candidate. Every Republic
can vote cast for him will be an effective
protest against Mead methods. But to
make the protest doubly effective, 1t
should be the effort Of everyone to secure
as large a vote as possible for the balance
of the state ticket and by giving Congress-
man Plumley, who has shown healthy
signs OF progressiveness in his short term
in Congress, the largest kind of a major

Good WORD for Doctor Mead.

DIR. John A. Mead is making a much
better appearance on the stump than he
did in his preconvention addresses, for be
is combining himself more to the discus
sion of business matters. Nobody ques-
tions his ability as a business man and he
has it in his power to make his admins
tration a most creditable one by devoting
his efforts mostly along the lines where
ne is best qualified. Neither be nor Mr..
Watson, the Democratic candidate, has as
broad a grasp OF state matters as Govern
or Proctor and Governor Prouty nave had,
but there is a field large enough for en-.
deavor and We shall be greatly surprised
II DIR. Mead does not make a good gov.
ernor. He is at an age which precludes
bis looking for any further political pre-
ferment and his record in the annals of
Vermont depends on the record he makes
as governor. He will make every effort
to give the state a creditable sdministra-
tion and is smart enough.to do it.-Ben-
nington Banner.

klI,se wife. Then Himself.

George r. Huey, aged 81 years, shot
and killed his wife, Isabelle c. Huey, aged
"A, killed the horse she was driving and
then ended his own life with . bullet
through the chest in front of his house In
Weathersield last week Tuesday. The
double tragedy was discovered by an au-
tomobile party on their way to Amsden
that evening. The body OF the woman
was sitting upright on the wagon seat,
the whip in one hand and the reins in the
other, while in his front yard reposed the
body Of the murderer, his ~lifeless hands
grasping the powerful rife that had ended
two lives.
Two bullets had taken effect in the
woman's body, one entering Just below
her chin and coming out on the right
side OF her neck, the other striking about
five inches lower and emerging from her
right side below the arm. The horse was
shot through the neck and the murderer
ended his own life with a bullet in the
chest, which passed completely through
his body and came out at his back.
Mr.. and Mrs. Huey have not been liy-
ing together since June, and she had
been boarding at the home OF c. Z.
Partch, a neighbor. Huey had become
respondent over the abandonment and
bad talked much with the neighbors Of
his troubles.
Last week Mrs. Huey and Mrs. Parteh
went to Tinmouth to visit relatives of the
latter. On the way back Mrs. Partch
stopped at ~CuttiugsVille and Mrs. Huey
returned alone with the team. In order
to reach the Partch place It was necessary
to pass the Huey house.
II is probable that Mr.. Huey, upon see
ing his wife approach, ran to within is
feet and hred the hrst shot at her. She
then started 10 whip the horse and be
killed the beast with the next shot to pre-
vent her escape. The third shot passed
through the back OF the carriage top and
killed the woman instantly. The muir
derer then stepped back to the yard aud
killed himself.
Mr.. Partch went to the Huey house
Tuesday forenoon and found Huey sitting
on a chair in the front yard with a 5000
Marlin repeater beside him. He said that
he had been shooting hawks. When iok-
ingly asked il be was going to commit
suicide, Huey replied that he was not but
that be was almost crazy.

A tragic coincidence lies in the fact that
in this same house where the Hueys lived
Herbert White was murdered several years
ago by James GrAvelin.
The marriage OF Mr.. and Mrs. Hney
was the result OF n matrimonial advertise
ment placed In a newspaper by Mr.. Huey.
Possessed Of 3 good farm, Mr.. Huey
offered to share II with some acceptable
member OF the opposite sex. The answer
came from a western woman, who became
two years ago Mrs. Nancy Huey. The
married life OF the two was not happy
and Mrs. Huey had been in consultation
with a Springfield attorney regarding
steps toward q separation.

seem to be divided politically about a. fol-
lows: Some OF them think that the best
interests oil Republicanism would be served
If the normal Republican majority would
be cut down about half, il indeed the
Democratic ticket be not electedi and the
others think that the party would be best
served By the usual majority, regardless
of all OBJECTIONS and dissatisfactions. We
have indeed fallen upon parlous times in
the old state politically, when such indif-
ference or positive treason runs riot. -Rut-

Munser Au,omohlla Run-

The passage Of the so-called Munsey
tourists through Vermont last week Mon
day was made the occasion OF a big event
at Montpelier, TO which the Automobile
Club OF Vermont organized q run, and
the local board of trade arranged a oele-
bration. Fully i've thousand people from
out OF town lined the main streets OF the
city over which the tourists and the pa
rade passed and more than 500 automo-

lier Military band gave an all-day concert
from the Pavilion stand and in several
instances were obliged to respond to per
sistent encores. The parade in the after
noon was participate in BY 1875 cars, most
OF which were decorated. While q major
ity OF these cars were from Barre aud
Montpelier, 80 or more were from other
places in the state. The parade passed
over the principal streets OF the city aud
after the judges had made their decision
the successful ones were banked ia front
OF the Pavilion hotel when the prizes we're
awarded by Gov. George H. Prouty. The
prizes we're bronze and silver cups pre-
sented by the Montpelier Board OF Trade

cept the sweepstakes cup offered by W. w.

"Win that kind Of fame be deeirableR
The present per diem is not excessive.
The great protest was because the mem
bers Of the 1905 legislature raised their

The Messenger believes the Montpelier
contemporary has expressed the situation
exactly. II the general assembly of 1908
had passed an act providing that the sal
airy Of the next legislature should be in
creased, 1t is very doubtful II there would
have been . serious protest from public
or press. Most thoughtful observers are
aware that "things has riz'' and that the
pay Of men that leave private interests to
transact public business, while never in
Vermont pretending to be adequate com
pensation, should at least raise in fair pro-
portion to the increased demands upon the
private purse. But there Is 9 way Of do
ing such things that unfortunately the
greedy legislature Of 1905 did not appear
70 appreciate. The average man loves to
see disinterested statesmanship no mstteF
how confined its sphere OF influences or
authority. The constitution oftho United
States hints significantly ct this when II
says in Art 2, Sec. !, for instance, "The
president shall at stated times, receive for
his services, 3 compensation, which shall
neither be increased nor diminished dur.
ing the period for which be shau have
been electad,'' etc. II was the mistake Of
our neighbors IN the Legislature two years
