o.. BROWN SPEAKS AGAIN.
Discusses The New Politics. Parties
and Men.
From the Trinity Chronicle

.
William Garrett Brown delivered
the second Of his notable serie:
OF lectures on American politics
OF the present da6. The subject
OF the evening was: 1.-THE New
Politics: Parties and Men" The
lecture was a brilliant interpreta.
ton and analysis Of the political
history OF the present and a prop.
hecy of the course of our national
politics III the future. In the
discussion Of the position and con.
stituent forces Of the two leading
political parties of the country,
Mr.. Browns remarks were espec-
Tally illuminating and suggestive.
The future seems to him to have
IN store a renewal of the old bat
tie Of liberty against privilegs
with changed issues and under a
new alignment Of the contending
f,ress.
In Opening his lecture
Mr. Brown said; "drmo-
cracy's present task and problem

The Ticket and Mead.

1t is undeniable that there are a.
large number of republicans at this
time who do not intend to vote for
Dr. Mead because they believe that his
expenditures to secure the nomination
mate bounds and of such a Character
that he dare not publish them. and
thus act in accord with the spirit of
the platform on which he processes
to stand.
1t is very unfortunate for the repub-
hcan party that DR.. Mead could
not have made public his pre-conyen-
ton expenses soon after his nonina-
ton. Instead, the candidate has re-
NAMED silent and his near supporters
have answered the charges that DR..
Mead spent money laVishly and pos
s1bly corruptly, with a request to
prove it, This defy and evasion
has disguised and sickened hundreds
OF earnest supporters of republican
principles
Nevertheless, it seems to the News
that it is the duty of every voter who
believes in the republican party to go
to the polls and cast his ballot at the
coming September election
The republican county tickets are

much for the advancement of Yer
mont. 1t has placed in nomination

Mrs. John B. Chase of Lyndonville,
Mrs. H. E. Folsom of Lyndonville,
Miss Nellie Chase of Springfield,
Mass, Miss Hazel Coolidge of Chicago
and chauffeur registered at the Van

They made the run from Lyndonville
to Burlington, 81 miles, over heavy
roads and proceeded to the Thousand

Mr.. Darling is the former proprietor
of the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York
city, and now carries on extensive
farming operations in East Burke,
where he devotes considerable at
tention to the development of the
Morgan horse. His string of Morgans
has won many prizes and blue ribbons
and has been a leading feature of
the horse exhibit at the state fair
at White River Junction.

animously renominated and his course
IN his first term in congress has been
heartily commended throughout Yer
mont. He has certainly earned the
approval of every republican voter and
is entitled to the largest majority
possible as an encouragement to him
IN his future work in congress-.
The republican county tickets are
made up of intelligent and high mind
ed citizens generally. Under these
conditions the News believes it will
be a pleasure as we'll as duty for
every republican to exercise his citi-
zenship rights at the polls.
We must remember that no rebuke
can be administered to DR.. Mead by
members of the republican party
through absence from the polls cleo
ton day. A reduced majority in Yer
mont would be acsribed by him TO any
other cause than his own unpopular
1ty. A reduced majority in Vermont
would be an encouragen: emf 20 the
national democratic party in the con-
gressional fights all over the country,
and no loyal republican wishes to give
aid to the enemy

paign, by which he captured the nom
ination, can be made effective by
emitting to vote for him while voting

Amey-Perkins Wedding.

The following notice of the Amey-
Perkins wedding is taken from the
Coos County Democrat of August
49,
A very pretty wedding occurred
Tuesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs
n. B. Perkins, when their younger
daughter, Carrie, became the bride of
Clarke Amey. The ceremony took
place in the living room, one corner
OF which was banked with asparagus
ferns and sweet peas. Here the we'd
ding couple stood, attended by Miss
Grace Perkins, sister of the bride,
and Herbert Tibbetts. Rev. E. r.
StearnS was the officiating clergyman
the single ring service being used.
The bride was dressed in white silk
null, trimmed with lace inserts, and
made slightly en- train. The brides
maids gown was white null, lace
trimmed, over green silk, and she
carried a bouquet of pink sweet peas
while the brides bouquet was of
white sweet peas. Miss Mildred San
born played the Lohengrin wedding
march and also played softly during
the ceremony, which took place at
100.
Immediately afterward light
lunch was served in the dining room,
which was decorated with maidenhair
fern and sweet peas. The happy couple
left for Portland on the afternoon
train, attended as far as Bailey's by
merry crowd of friends. A part
of the honeymoon will be passed at
Maidstone Lake.
Mr.. and Mrs. Amey will live in ST
Johnsbury, where the groom has a
position with the Berry-BalI Co. Mrs
Amey has been very popular in Ian
caster society since she moved here
from Groveton some years ago, and
Will be greatly missed in her home
and in the social life of the town.
Those from out of town who at
tended the wedding were:-
Mrs. Amelia Amey, Stratford Hol-
low; Mrs. E. w. Foster, Wilmington,
Mass; Mrs. Charles Flanders. Guild
hall, VT; Miss U1ande Chrisholm,
Manchester; Miss Bernice Gendron,
Berlin; Mrs. c. F. Ticknor, Wahpeton,
n. D.; Miss Grace Perkins, Boston,
Allen Amey, Groveton; Herbert lib
belts. West Derry, and Chester Ford,
Boston.

Another Threatened Bolt.

With considerable courage for a re-
publican newspaper that seldom strays
from the party lines, the Middlebury
Register refuses to print the name of
the republican nominee for governor
until the nominee has published a
statement of his expenses in the cam
paign, as the others have done, while
at the same time it gives the names
OF the republican nominees for The
other state offices. Perhaps this does
not amount to a bolt on the part of
the contemporary, but it comes peril
ously near it and is sufficient to make
quite a rebuke to the Rutland man for
failure to do as Mr.. Fleetwood and
Mr.. Hapgood did recently. Of course,
1T will be recalled that the Register
was not supporter of the Rutland
man during the pre-convention cam
palgn and was especially worried be-
cause DR.. Mead would not publish a
statement of his expenses; but the
Register has always been a loyal re-
publican journal, turning in to sup
port the party candidates after their
nomination, so it's detection at the
present time carries considerable sig
n1f1cance. Not in years has there
been such a rebellion in the ranks
OF Vermont republican journalism as
at present, and of which the Register
is certain illustration. 1t will not
cripple DR.. Mead to the extent of a
defeat, although it is likely to en-
gender at the start of his adminiStra-
ton, certain measure of hostility
which makes distinct handicap on
a successful executive term Dr. Mead
started out on the wrong track en-
urely by not taking the public in his
confidence, and it has been disagree
able work maintaining the position

Administrators Record.

Notwithstanding disturbing signs in
the nation at large, there is no ques-
ton involving the effective work upon
progressive lines accomplished in the
present Congress, nor can any lust
criticism attach itself to the motives
and integrity of the national admins
tration under the presidency of Will
liam Howard Taft. By means of eff
fective cooperation of the admins
tration and Congress, accomplishment
perhaps has never been equaled in any
similar period of two years since the
Civil War. This accomplishment on
progressive lines involves the follow
ing most important measures or ex-
ecutiVe acts:-
Prosecution and conviction of those
implicated in the sugar frauds against
the government and other violators
of the federal statutes; prompt and
successful intervention to prevent ar
bitrary increases in railroad freight
rates; effective enforcement of the
law against illegal dealing in stocks;
indictment of those involved in cotton
pools formed to raise the price of one
of the necessities of life in every
American family; impartial enforce
ment of all antitrust laws, substantial
reduction in government expenses,
saving million dollars a month in
the postoffice department with a fair
promise of Wiping out the annual pos
tai deficit; such remarkable progress
in the construction of the Panama
canal as insures its early completion;
withdrawal from private entry in or
der to preserve for the public benefit
valuable coal and other mineral de-
posts, timber lands and waterpower
sites of over seventy-two million acres
of the public domain. The admins
tration has strengthened our prestige
with foreign nations and has treated
with yigor and wisdom important and
delicate International questions. Such
is the record practically unequaled in
the history of the American govern
ment in any period so short.

HARDWICK.
Memorial to Soldiers and Sailors.


At a special town meeting held last
week it was voted to buy a site for
building to be erected to the mem
DRY of the soldiers and sailors of the
War of the Rebellion and the sum of
s2,5 was appropriated for the
same.
The property to be purchased is the
Hathaway house and the lot adjoining
at the corner of Church and Main
streets, belonging to George H. Rick-
ford. The building is to be occupied
by the town and village. the Grand
Army post, and the Woman's Relief
Corps. The memorial is erected
Jointly by the town and the Grand
Army post, There will be an entrance
to the basement of the building from
Main street and the entrance to the
two upper stories will be from Church
street. The lot is considered one of
the most desirable in the village and
directly opposite the Judville Mem
orial library which is on the corner
of Main and West Church streets.
There has been considerable contro-
versy over the matter of site and
rather than have site which he con-
sidered undesirable selected, Mr.. Bick-
ford donated practically one lot of
land for the purpose.

THE POLITICAL CONTEST.
Republican State Committee Appeals The
With Mead's Methods Crows

The republican state committee out
lines the issues of the coming cam
paign and it's claim for support in the
following address to the voters:-
Republicans of Vermont
Your delegates, assembled in state
convention, have sounded the keynote
of the republicanism of the hour in
the following trenchant terms:-
We believe that if the republican
party OF today is to conduct the gov
eminent of the nation tomorrow
it must not cease to take account of
piration of the people for the realiza-
ton of their ideals of civic righteous
ness, business honesty, equality of
economic opportunity and political
freedom, and we unhesitatingly de-
clare ourselves in sympathy with un-
the patriotic leadership of William Nc
kinley, Theodore Roosevelt and Will
liam Howard Taft.
The republican party, which has
been unvaryingly dominant in Yer
mont during four-and- fifty years., has
this remarkable record: 1t has been
politically sincere; it has presented no
candidates of prejudice or class, no
propaganda of negatiOn, no scheme of
reputation, nor any doctrine of des-
truction or despair. 1t has been op-
umlstlc and never peSsimistic. 1t has
believed in evolution of a steady and
unequiVOcal progress. 1t has been,
and still is, the training school of
statesmen. Its policies have all been
forged in the furnace fires of public
discussion, tempered by calm delibera-
ton and shaped in the conflict of the
best minds and tried and found true
in embattling for the country's well
fare. The roster of it's leaders has
been the roll of honor of the history
of half a century.
