work over a series OF years, but he
would not bond the State nor impose
direct tax TO meet this public i'm
provement. He would have more
modern rules i'm the Senate and
House, and a readjustment of commit
tees, by which he belives saving of
$4,000 in each session could be eff
fected
MIR. Batchelder concludes his state
ment with the assertion that he
stands ready to join with any or all
the other candidates in filing sworn
statement OF the expenses Of his can
vass either before or after the nom
mating convention is held-the posi-
ton in effect of Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Fleet
wood and Mr.. Hapgood.
This is certainly specific state,
ment of Mr. Batchelder's attitude
toward the principal issues confront
ing the people of Vermont today, and
whether one is or is not ready to sup
port his candidacy, it must be admit
ted that his platform is well calculat-
ed to appeal to the thinking people Of
Vermont as safe as well as in many
ways commendable.
The belief has been expressed by a
good authority in Bennington county
that Mr.. Batchelder, in addition to
having the support of his own county,
would have the backing of no small
part of the neighboring county of
Windham, in case he should become a
candidate; and this is robably true
In the same way Hon. c. p. Smith
will have considerable backing out
side of Chittenden county.
1t is safe to say in the light of pres
ent developments that the next gov
ernor of Vermont will not be nomi-
mated in June on the first ballot, even
If number of trials are not neces-
sary to determine whom majority OF
the delegates favor.-Burlington Free

Well, the Bennington county explo-
sion has been touched off; was II a
cannon or a popgun? The instanta-
neous effect has not broken the
earths surface, but the recurrent
movement has yet to come. The first
impulse as felt here, is not startling,
something like the scatter-gun of our
own beloved contemporary. Il was
arranged to create a sensation-but
we'll wait and see whether man
who has done some Marathon stunts
in the past, and when not winning the
prize, has received much favorable
mention, can be groomed for sue
cessful run.-Burlington News.
The foregoing squeak from the
Mead line OF retreat is interesting in
one respect, and that is the plane on
which II places the discussion. With
so important and honorable a place
as the governorship of our common
wealth at stake the News instead OF
considering the question on the basis
of ability and fitness and advantage
to the state talks about popguns
and Marathon stunts" Truly dig
nined argument and one calculate,
to convince.

ALL ITCHING STOPPED
Sound Sleep After Night of Much
Distress

Mr. b., a Philadelphia gentleman,
first hesitated about applying poslam
after he had obtained it. But" he
says, "afterward the itching became
unbearable at night, so | arose and
told Mrs. b. would risk the poslam.
| slept soundly all night. ! used 1t
three nights and three mornings then
discontinued. It is now over three
months and have never had any re-
turn of the eczema; never had any
itching after the first application
Poslam is the new skin remedy
which so rapidly combats the worst
cases OF eczema. II likewise makes
quick work of acne, herpes, letter,
scaly scalp, BARRIERS and every other
form of itch. Occasional applications
in small quantities will quickly ban
ish pimples, hives, blackheads, blot
ches, etc. A special soc package is
prepared for minor skin troubles and
this. as well as the regular two dol
lar jar, is on sale at w. l.. Gokay's as
well as all drug stores.
But no one is even asked to pur-
chase poslam without first obtaining
a sample package which will be sent
by mail, free of charge, upon request
by the Emergency Laboratories, No.

Another Candidate for Governor

An unusual campaign for the repub-
lican nomination for Governor Of
Vermont is lent additional interest by
the announcement OF another candi
date in the person OF the Hon. James
X Batchelder of Arlington. A perus-
al Of his declaration of political prin-
ciples printed In another column,
will show that Mr. Batchelder takes a
commendable position with reference
to most of the issues confronting the
people of Vermont at the present
time.
Mr.. Batchelder favors most OF the
constitutional amendments proposed
by the committee on constitutional
changes. He would have the Consti.
tuition amended whenever a change is
desired instead of having change
possible only once in ten years, as at
present. but he Is inclined to the idea
that September elections are prefer
able to November elections. as con
templated in the third proposal OF
amendment, and those who recall the
conditions of the roads in Vermont in
November, as rule, will probably
agree with him.
Mr.. Batohelder would have gen.
eral corporation law instead OF de-
voting so large 4 part of the leglsla-
tive sessions to granting special char.
ters to corporations. He favors an
Increase in the permanent school
fund and the raising Of the standard
OF our schools He would encourage
measures to increase the production
OF Vermont's farms, and In particular
the Improvement of the unproductive
land of our State. He would encour

There is some doubt whether it is
a three-cornered or a four-cornered
goyenorship fight in Vermont, due to
the general uncertainty over Hap
goods position. People don't know
whether the Peruvian takes himself
seriously as candidate or whether
he simply seized upon the occasion
to display his well known literary
style. If it is triangular affair,
then Mead. Fleetwood and Batchelder
naming them In the order of their en-
trance, occupy the corners.-Barre
Times.
Why should Deacon Smith and Mr..
Hapgood be omitted. We supposed
that the corners were now all occu-
pied with Mead, Fleetwood, Smith
and Batchelder, each holding one and
Hapgood in the center with a long
sharp stick prodding them in turn ia
make them roar.
