Mr.. DeBoers Candidacy.

Mr.. DeBoer's speech at the mass meet
ing in Montpelier was a modest but con
pIncing statement OF his views on the
issues to be presented TO the voters
Referring to has residence in the state
OF % years, he concluded that he could
not comply with the old custom OF max.
ing a personal canvass from town to
town for the nomination. lie thinks that
under the guidance OF the newspapers
the people should decide more nearly
their candidates tor state otiee, because
the existing system depriyes them OF
their really SER governing interest. An
other reason given Tor Mr.. DeBoer's de-
cision is the tact, as he expresses it.,
that he could not involve himself IN the
expense necessary to keep up the prae'
tiee.7
Whatever views the people may have
about the soundness OF Mr.. DeBoer's
conclusions regarding town-to-town cam
vases for the nomination, and the guild
anee of the newspapers, all must adj
mire the dignity anu simple eandor he
displays in setting them forth. The con
sideration of being a man without
special property makes it incumbent
upon him not to discard the position OF
trust he now holds in order TO seek
political office. This is frank and straight
TO the point. He gives his supporters the
precise information they ought TO have
in advance. Mr.. DeBoer thinks can
didate should come to the Office OF gov
ernor approved by his life and work in
the state
That he should be free from every
pledge or circumstance that might in the
slightest degree interfere with the due
discharge OF his duty, goes without say
ing.
Referring to his convention address in
1910, he reiterates his opposition to the
outworn machine system. To correct Ger.
tain misimpFessions, Mr., DeBoer declares
that if nominated he would be pleased TO
make a campaign for the utmost success
Of the ticket but that he viii keep his
promise not to make campaign for
the nomination in the sense required by
the existing custom.
Party harmony, if purchased at the
expense of continuing unprogressiveness
and the petrifaetion OF political meth
DDS, is had at too dear price.
All who heard Mr.. DeBoer's stirring
address at the 1910 convention viii rec
ognize in his declaration Of principles of
Wednesday a repetition of the salient
features OF that address. They have been
set forth at length in the news columns
Of the state press and Indicate that
many Of the issues on which the party
pledges failed in 1910 will again be up
permost in Rutland Herald.

one of them takes the form of a sign
warning, eight feet by six feet in size
and placed at conspicuous location near
the railroad station at West Brimfeld.
This sign reads;
"Deer Hunters: Stop, look, listen and
know what you are shooting at
Such warning, modelled after the
familiar "Look out for the engine sign,
is rather sure to attract attention, but
there is this shortening Of the effort,
that it is impossible to place signs of
that description at all the points where

It is a fact that as soon as a popular

ness which gives the disease another
chance for its existence Smallpox had

board of examination in the state of

himself had never had case of small

fact would indicate. 1t may still be rare
in Maine, but in the Pawtuxet valley,
in Rhode Island, the disease has unex-

The fame of Gov. Mead's Thanksgiving
day proclamation has got beyond the
confines of the Green Mountain state,
as we note by the following from yes
terday's New York Sun:
"There was never man in Vermont
who wanted to be governor so much as
DR.. John A. Mead of Rutland. His rea-
sons were by no means clear. People
wondered why he began his campaign
for the nomination so early and pressed
it so impetuously. We now know: he
wanted to write a Thanksgiving procla-
nation"
However, department G. A. r. com
mander cannot write Thanksgiving
proclamation. So how do you account
for a recent rumor from Rutland?
