this would mean that the New Haven or

with Canada there will be traffic enough
for two single track lines and possibly
more. But t is going to cost the Central

WILFRED F. ROOTS SUCCESS.
Great Popularity of Plan to Sell Medi'
cine at Halt. Price and Guarantee a

Cure.
Wilfred F. Root. the enterprising
druggist, rather than await the ordl-
nary methods Of introduction, urged the
DR.. Howard Co. to secure n quick sale
for their celebrated specific for the cure
of constipation and dyspepsia by offer'
ing the regular SOC. bottle at half
price.
The wonderful success of this plan
was great surprise, even to Mr.. koot,
and today there are scores of people
here in Brattleboro who are using and
praising this remarkable remedy, -,
In addition to selling a. soc. bottle
of DR.. Howard s specific for 25c. Mr..
Root has so much faith in the remedy
that he will refund the money to any
one whom it does not cure.
When your head aches, your stomach
does not digest food easily, and nat
urally when there is constipation,
specks before the eyes, tired feeling,
giddiness, bad taste in the mouth, coat
ed tongue, heart burn. sour stomach,
roaring or ringing in the ears, melan-
choly and liver troubles DR.. Howard s
specific will cure you. If it does not,
it will not cost you cent.

mont. As a matter of fact, the applica.
ton for the charter was the direct result
of the desire of the people Of Brat.
tleboro to have the railroad on the
Vermont side of the river instead Of
on the New Hampshire side where
originally, surveyed, and for the pur.
pose of developing the industries on the
Vermont side. A defeat of the charter
was defeat for the people of the state,
and not a defeat for the Boston 4 Maine.
II is the old, old story of INSCRIPTIONS
and the whole situation reveals clearly
the direct power Of the real politi.
cal boss OF the state. Our method Of nomi-
mating officials makes il possible for the
county political leader to control the sena-
tors. The corporation retains the politi-
cal boss. He names the senators in the
convention. The people have nothing to
say about it. Is it true that when the
necessity arises for the use of these sena.
tors SO selected, the corporation appeals
to the political boss responsible for their
creation and they endeavor to deliver the
vote as the corporation dictatesy
We point this out because it is plainly
apparent from the picture painted during
the past week of rotten political conditions
that exist, that the Central Vermont Rail
way company, responsible for the power
of political leaders asked them to deliver
the goods"

must be driven out of politics OF this
state. Those politicians who serve it, and
who for few dollars in the shape Of re.
taines will strike such blow as has been
struck at the development of our state and
involve it in the odium of political scandal
must be driven, out of public life. 1t can
only be done through direct primary
