BENNINGTON, VT, OCT. 10, 1912

The Reformer notes with disap-
prevail that the state fair manage
ment has decided to ask for addition
al state aid from the present legisla-
ture, bill introduced last week pro-
viding for an appropriation of $4,000
year for the next two years. If
Vermont is to help its agricultural
fairs it should consider them all at
the same time. There is no good
reason why the fair at White River
Junction should receive special at
tention. Let it take its chances along
with other associations under an ap-
preparation divided according to the
amount actually paid in premiums by
each. The state cannot afford to pay
$4,000 a year to one fair under any
circumstances Refor-
mer
While there is some logic in the
Reformer's "disapproval", particular
ly from a Brattleboro standpoint, it
would be a misfortune if the state
fair as it has been developed in re-
cent years with the assistance of fl
nancial aid from the public treasury,
should be allowed to collapse. A
state fair on the scale that has been
maintained at White River Junction
during recent years does more to ad-
vertise Vermont than all the county
fairs that could be had.

was not little surprised that my
home town gave Mr.. Metzger the Pro
gressive candidate, 116 votes. But If
my fellow townspeople have depend
ed on the Boston Journal and kindred
papers, for political information, and
have relied on William Allen White
and kinded writer's for political sue
cor, and the information and succor
was cut from the same loaf as the
slice above quoted, much larger
vote for Mr.. Metzger would have
been less surprising,
The 116 voters for Mr.. Metzger in
my home town were made up from
Democrats and Republicans, with
great emphasis on the latter
At any rate ] know the men who
compose this Progressive party of
116, they are my townspeople and the
most of them former associates in the
Republican party, and whether Re-
publican party, and whether Republi
cans or Democrats, are as true and
loyal citizens as we who are standing
by the old parties
The rule established for my good
old home town of Newbury applies
with equal force to 245 other Vermont
towns.
Nermonters are not inventors of
gross deception, or hucksters in po-
litical fabrics whose warp, wool and
filling are tissue of finely designed
lies. Vermont newspapers are not
dispensers of rotten politics, nor are
Vermont newspaper men political
grafters. If perchance there should
be an exception to this general rule,
it would be rare enough to attract un
comfortable attention
1t is observed that Mr.. Whites ar
ticle was not written for the Journal
readers the morning following cleo
ton, when returns are incomplete
and rumors are rife, but eighteen
days after election when the returns
are all in.
1t is little wonder that a newspaper
with an old time record for honesty
and political probity, if it chooses TO
become a vehicle of clean cut lies.
should deceive its readers, and lead
them astray.
Honesty, loyalty and true patrio-
tism may not be an estoppel against
the inroad of an arch deceiver
So far as the Progressive party in
Vermont is concerned, the principal
beneficiary of this kind of campaign.
ing is Mr.. Metzger, its candidate for
Governor. Does he stand for it?
do not believe So if not he should
step on it.
In the National Progressive party
the chief beneficiary of this sort of
political deceit must be Mr.. Roose-
welt, the self appointed candidate
for its presidency? Does he approve
of this kind of campaigning? If not
he should stop it and tell who pays
the freight
Fellow Vermonters, do you need
slate and pencil and the seclusion of
your closet to figure out a problem
of this sort, and to determine where
you ought to stand in a campaign of
this kind?

Any pupil in our public schools
knows that il takes more than half
of a number to make a majority Of it,
and in this instance that 32,517 is the
smallest possible majority of Yer
mont's total vote in the recent cleo
ton.
Mr. White, however. says in large
type that the Progressive party mol
led within 5000 votes of a majority.
the truth is they lacked 1871 of a
majority.
Mr. White says that the Progress
sive party outran the votes of the
Democratic party, the truth is that
the Progressives had 1850 less votes
than the Democratic party.
The quotation from Mr.. Whites ar.

from such a text.

Do Your Own Thinking.

For whom are you thinking of cast
ing your ballot next month, Mr. Fot-
err?
For Mr.. Roosevelt, whose election is
now conceded to be an absolute inn
possibility?
For Mr.. Wilson, aristrocatic govern
mental theorist whose free trade po-
Icy would bring upon the country
again the industrial and commercial
paralysis that, under a like free trade
policy in 1898, emptied the factories
and the workshops and filled the poor
houses and the free public soup hous-
es in the cities?
Or for William Howard Taft, the
champion of equal rights under fair
and impartial laws, the defender OF
the constitution and the preserver of
the protective tariff principle which
has made the United States the rich
est and most powerful country in the
world and has given the American
farmer and workingman advantages
and opportunities enjoyed by no 9TH
er people in the world.
The proposition is a serious one,
Appeal to passion and prejudice
should not influence. Those who ut
ter them should insult your intelli-
gence. for they would have you reach
unfair conclusions, to their own bene-
fit.
The vital issue of the campaign is
whether the protective tariff shall be
preserved and. whether this shall be

BRUSH WILL NOT DlseoReE
Fights Proposition to Give Part Of
Series Money to League

New York, Oct. 18.-Trouble over
the resolution passed by the National
League last winter compelling the
club participating in the worlds SER
les to hand over 25 per cent of its
share of the receipts to the other
clubs came to a head yesterday dur
ing the session at the Waldorf-Astor
ia.
President John T. Brush of the
New York club sent word that in his
opinion the resolution was illegal in
that the league had no right to inter
fere with the private affairs of any
club. Mr.. Brush requested the ap-
pointment of an arbitration commit
tee to which the resolution will be re-
ferred B. ]. York of Brooklyn will
represent the league on this commit
tee and Cornelius Sullivan will act
for the New York club. 1t is possible
that Gov. Tener of Pennsylvania will
be the third member.
The resolution was introduced last
winter by Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pittsburg club and was passed by a
majority vote. When Mr.. Brush's
message was received there was
some show of i'll feeling by several of
the magnates and the report soon
became prevalent that unless Mr..
Brush backed down serious opposi-
ton to the reelection of President
Lynch might result.
The American League also passed
a similar resolution but it is said that
the st. Louis Browns will be cut out
of a share of the spoils for the reason
that in post-season games between
the Browns and Cardinals the Nation
al Commission has not been called
upon to exercise the usual authority.
