At the State convention, whenever a
ballot is taken to determine a nomina.

pressed by the voters at their caucuses,
the roll shall be called by counties and
towns, and the chairman or other desig-

The caucus preferential ballot, the OBJ
legation of delegates elect TO carry cut

vote at the State convention, as herein
prescribed, are also adopted as features
of the system for the selection of dele

Dental nomination.
We recommend to the Republican
District and County organizations the
adoption of changes in nomination
methods to conform with those herein
prescribed.

AGRICULTURE.

The rapid increase in consumption oil
food products as compared with their
production has already stimulated
prices in natural manner that brings
to agriculture more adequate returns.
With the certainty that this condition
will continue. Vermont should spare
no effort to make the most of her op-
portunity as an agricultural state. Pro-
duction should be pushed to the limit
that a rich soil, when properly con
served, will yield. In every reasonable
and practical way, the state should en-
courage the uplift of agriculture at this
time. BY special instruction and by the
establishment of model farms in con-
venient locations, the best methods of
farming should be taught and demon
strated, that the largest output per
acre or animal may be attained A lib
eral appropriation in these directions is
justified.
We urge Nermont's representatives
in Congress to consider carefully the in
terests of the Vermont farmer in their
attitude toward pending legislation. In
proposed tariff changes, let not their
support be given to any measure that
strips the farmer alone of protection,
requiring him to sell in an open market,
while compelling him to buy in
closed one. And let them not give
their approval to any measure, the
operation of which would tend to sub
NIT the farmer to unfair and dishonest
competition in marketing his dairy
products.

FORESTRY.

The maintenance of The forests of
the State is of prime importance-fo
the preservation and growth of the in
dustries dependent upon them; for their
effect upon the stream flow, and their
intimate relation to the beauties of
scenery which should make of Vermont
a great summer resort. We believe
that adequate measures should be taken
by the General Assembly to safeguard
the forests from insect ravages. fires
and other destructive agencies; that the
Forestry branch OF the State govern
ment should be strengthened, and that
forest tracts suitable for nurseries and
for demonstration of the most approved
forestry methods should be acquired and
utilized for these purposes in various
parts of the State.
We approve the present policy of en-
couraging private owners to reforest
their waste lands in an intelligent man

TAXATION.

Real improvement has come to the
taxation system, especially in its adj
ministratiye features, as the result of
recent legislation. Bearing in mind that
no taxation system is perfect, Yer
mont's will compare favorably in most
respects with those of sister States.
We believe that the next General As
sembly should address itself seriously
to the task of still further correcting
such inequalities as it may determine,
after careful investigation, to exist, and
to be subject to a reasonably certain
remedy.
We recommend changes in the laws
that will give the individual lender of
money the same tax rate as savings in
stitution enjoy, and urge that as far as
practicable the ultimate benefit of such
lowered rate be assured the borrower.
We urge the General Assembly to
consider the merits of a uniform low
rate of taxation of money, loans and
credits as means of increasing the
public revenues, State and local. of
bringing easier conditions to the Dor
rover, and of stimulating home indus
try.
We advise limitation of the offset
privilege to specified sum, sufficient
to encourage the farmer or the business
man who may find it necessary to Dor
row, but not large enough to foster
abuses or result in heavy Impairment of
grand lists.
If the revenues of the State are not
sufficient for the support of its govern
ment, economically administered. we
recommend the laying of a limited di-
rect inheritance tax.

DEVELOPMENT AND CoNSERvA-
TION

No time should be lost in adopting a
settled policy of development OF Yer
mont's natural resources, that shall also
guard against waste and perhaps per-
manent loss. We recommend careful
investigation, by legislative authority,
on which to base wise and consistent
course of action. Vermont has great
possibilities in the development of I'M
used water power, especially by means
of large storage reservoirs, for the
manufacture of electricity for light and
power purposes. While safeguarding
the ultimate interest of the State and
preserving to the immediate locality
the first rights to such power, the Cen
eral Assembly should encourage, in any
proper manner, such undertakings.
No small investment by the State
has yielded better returns than the APP
preparation made to establish Pub
iicity Bureau. 1t should be increased
and the department strengthened.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican party of Vermont, en-
trust by the people of this state with
control of its public affairs since the
birth of the party, once more welcomes
the opportunity to give an account OF
its stewardship. In almost every i'm
portant respect, it has fully discharged
its trust. 1t has brought to the task OF
continuous administration of state af-
fairs for over fifty years, a loyalty and
uprightness, a determination and far
sighted judgment, that have given Yer
mont place among the best governed
States of Ae Union.
Within the past few years the record
of achievement has been one of almost
continuous progress. No State has been
more progressive than Vermont under
Republican rule in the passage of laws
designed to bring about equality of OPP
portunity, limitation of corporations to
their proper sphere and encouragement
of legitimate enterprise. Vermont has
led many of her sister States in legis-
lation calculated to meet the rapid
changes in modern conditions, social, in
dustrial and intellectual. As Republi-
cans we rejoice in the record of things
well done. We mention with pride that,
despite heavy disbursements, Vermont's
government is self-supporting, and that,
too, without the laying of direct tax,
or oppressive tax rates yielding the
States revenues. Nor has Vermont the
burden of State debt, proper But
though proud of our party's record, we
are not satisfied while there still re-
main tasks for our hands, and to these
we now give attention.

PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN
EXPENDITURES.

The use Of large sums OF money to
promote candidates. for office tends to
debase the electorate, to subvert the
peoples will and to give men OF wealth
an undue advantage in a political can
vass. We urge strict enforcement OF
the present Corrupt Practices Act, and
the addition of such features as will
further tend TO lessen the undue and
improper us OF money by or in behalf
of candidates.
We renew our demand of two years
ago for the passage of an act, compre-
hensive in scope and carefully drawn,
which shall require all candidates for
nomination before the political parties,
or for election before the people to the
several state offices to make public a
correct itemized statement of their cam
paign expenditures before and after the
nomination and before and after the
election, and also limiting the total sum
that may be expended on account of the
several Offices, with adequate penalties
for violation.

PROPOSES NEW SYSTEM
OF MAKING NOMINATIONS
Demands that Candidates Shall
Pledge Themselves to Garry
Out Faithfully Party Pledges.

To the Republican Voters of Vermont'
Having been selected by the Republl'
can State Committee OF Vermont tc
draft a tentative platform Tor submis
sion in advance of the Republican State
Convention, to be held at Burlington
Thursday, June 27, 1912, i'll order that
due notice may be given the voters con
corning the several proposed recon.
mendations of the platform, and that
the action of the convention may be
predicated upon a general knowledge OF
the same, and therefore more binding
morally upon the party and its chosen
representatives, | herewith submit q
preliminary draft of said platform
This draft is but tentative; is subject
to changes made before and during the
convention, and will undoubtedly be
changed as the result of the attention
it is hoped it will receive.
The platform will be considered by
the entire Committee on Resolutions,
consisting of one member from each
county, selected by the State Commit
tee from the delegates-elect, at meet
ings to be held at the Committee Head
quarters at the Van Ness House, Bur-
lington, on the afternoon and evening
preceding the convention, Wednesday,
June 20, at which time an opportunity
will be given any Republican who
wishes to be heard on the subject OF
the platform. The final draft viii then
be made by the Committee on Resolu-
lions for submission to the convention.
1t will be noted that this tentative
platform makes no mention of national
issues or candidates. 1t is impossible,
in advance of action at the Chicago con-
vention, to introduce these features.
Nor is it necessary in order to serve the
purpose for which this preliminary plat
form is submitted, which is to direct
attention to the proposed attitude of
the party with respect to State issues
and matters of State administration.
Undoubtedly, when the final draft is
made, which will be subsequent TO the
Chicago convention, it will include an
endorsement of that conventions work,
after the usual form.
Very respectfully,
LUTHER B. JOHNSON,
Chairman of Committee
on Resolutions.

NOMINATING SYSTEM.

The time is ripe for bringing the
party nominating system nearer to the
people and so changing its form as to
encourage their faith in it as true
register of their will in the selection of
candidates for office. All Republican
voters should be welcomed to complete
participation in the affairs of their
party. We believe the nominating sys-
tenn of the Republican party to be es-
sentially the business of the party, and
that such reforms as are needed can be
inaugurated and carried out by the
party itself.
To this end, we, its accredited repre-
sentatives, authorize and direct the
State Committee and the several town
committees, as may be determined be-
tween them, to provide for the taking,
at each city and town caucus held for
the choice of delegates to State con-
vention, of direct vote by marked bal
lot to determine the preferences of the
Republican voters as to candidates for
nomination for the several State offices.
The ballot box shall be open on this
preferential ballot at least three hours
in every city and town, and as much

deegates from such city or town at the
State convention as long as there is a
reasonable chance of their nomination.
If at such caucus there are opposing
lists of delegates and alternates, these
shall be balloted for in a separate box,

CANNOT REACH CAPT. LORD.
Lord Mersey Regrets That He Can Do
No More Thar Express His Opinion.

London june l5.--The Board of Trade
inquiry into the Titanic disaster at it's
resumption yesterday was occupied with
the ground TO be covered in the speeches
of counsel. Lord Mersey, the presid-
ing Judge, intimateG biz regret that ths
certificate Of Captain Lord OF the Cali
fornian. which failed TO attempt to
90 to the rescue of the passengers of
the Titanic, was beyond his reach. Hs
said:
II do not suppose | have jurisdiction
to direct that Captain Lords certificates
should bc dealt with. II ] take a view
adverse to the conduct OF the captain of
the Californian all | can do is to ey-t,
press my opinion"
Sir Rufus lsaacs. the attorney general.
assented but asked Lord Mersey to eS-
press his views in regard to the evil
dence on the subject OF the Californian.
Sir Rufus lsaacs also remarked that
the conduct of Sir Cosmo and Lady.
Duff Gordon was immaterial TO the pres
ent inquiry except as TO the conduct or
G. Symonds, the Titanic lookout who
had charge of the lifeboat in which
they We're rescued, and the suggestion
which appeared to lie beneath fireman
Charles Hendrickson's statement about
bribery to prevent the lifeboat return
ing to the sinking ship. Lord Merseyi
expressed the opinion that the ques-
ton of J. Bruce lsmay's conduct was
only material to the extent TO which il
might influence improperly Captain
Smith of the Titanic.

FULFILMENT OF PARTY PLEDGES.

The platform of a political party
should state clearly the position of the
party on the main questions of the hour.
1t should announce what the party in
tends to do in these matters il en-.
trusted by the people with power. The
platform should not 90 into minute de-
tails of proposed legislation. or at
tempt to frame specific acts These are
properly within the province of the
General Assembly, whose members are
chosen by the people. But concerning
the leading issues, upon which opinion
has crystalized, the declarations, DELHI
erately made by the representatives, Of
the party in convention assembled, es-
pecially after having been published ten
tativcly in advance, giving opportunity
for the fullest possible consideration
such declarations stand as pledges made
by the party, on the strength of which
it seeks the votes of the people. And
ii given the lease of power il craved,
there should be no room for doubt con-
corning the fulfilment, in letter and
spirit, of each and every pledge made in
the platform. To fail is to be recreant
to a solemn trust.
The Republican party Of Vermont
must be true to its word and honest
with the people. What it promises, it
must, if given the power, perform. Ac-
eordingly, we demand and insist that
our candidates for office this day nomi-
mated shall pledge themselves to carry
out faithfully each and every promise
herein made, in so far as they may have
power and authority. We further in
sist that all members of either branch
of the General Assembly, elected as Re-
publicans. in the absence of contrary
formal instructions from their immedi-
ate constituencies, shall likewise be d.
rected in their action on matters OF legis-
lation by the terms of these resolu.
tons. We further advise that all can
didates to either Senate or House, seek
ing election as Republicans, be required
by their supporters, by the caueuses
or conventions that place them in nomi-
nation, to delare themselves publicly to
be in complete accord with this platform
and prepared to support such measures
as will best carry its pledges into effect.

How to Treat Pimples.

1t is really remarkable how Cadum,
the new remedy, causes pimples to dis
appear. Bad cases are frequently re-
lieved in a few days. Cadum causes
pimples to dry up and fall off, leaving
the skin soft and smooth. Pimples are
a disease of the skin, and are not caused
by bad blood, as many people suppose.
Cadum helps these disfiguring blemishes
because it is applied direct to the trou-
Bile. II is an antiseptie and prevents
infection from disease germs. Csdum

EDUCATION.

While the large central public schools
of the state are doing splendid work,
the small rural schools are not 'seeping
pace. For the present, these latter
should be the especial care of the state.
In SO far as their standard can be i'm.
proved by more liberal state aid, it
should be extended. and we recommend
to the General Assembly larger diver
sion of the public school funds in this
direction, also a redistribution of these
funds on basis that will insure more
direct aid to towns that really need it,
We favor the encouragement by the
state of agricultural and scientific
training as necessary part of public
instruction.
