OF Interest to the Hon. Joseph M. Dixon.

OF Interest to the Hon. Joseph NJ Dixon.
Colonel Roosevelts new political press
agent is Senator Dixon of Montana. As
Senator Dixon proceeds with the pre-
arranged campaign of depreciation, if
not defamation, of President Taft, we
advise him to refer now and then to
the subioined document. 1t may save
him some time from making himself
and the third term enterprise too OBJ
viously ridiculous. 1t would be we'll for
senator Dixton to cut this extract out
and paste it where it is sure to be in
sight whenever he takes his fiery pen
in hand to describe Mr.. Taft as timor-
Gus statespan. an INSCRIPTIONS politi-
clan, an incompetent party leader, an
unperceptive interpreter OF public senti-
ment, an unprogressive philosopher, a
man out of sympathy with the spirit of
the times and the political needs of his
fellow citizens. Here is the document:
Il do not believe there can be found
in the whole country a man so well fit
ted as William II. Taft to be presi
dent. He is not only absolutely fearless,
disinterested and upright, but he has
the widest acquaintance with the ma
tion's needs, without and within, and
th" broadcast sympathies with all our
citizens. He would be as emphatieally
a president Of the plain people as Lin
coin, yet not Lincoln himself would be
freer from the least faint of demagogy,
the least tendency to appeal to class
hatred of any kind"
Senator Dixon may assume that this
estimate of Mr.. Tafts character and
qualifications, deliberately recorded by
Colonel Roosevelt less than four years
ago has no more present validity than
the pledge Of Colonel Roosevelt under
no circumstances TO accept another nom
nation for president. Before proceed
ing again, however, to write the lie
across his immortal ehieftain's recent
opinion of Mr. Taft, Senator Dixon
ought to explain to the people-if his
immortal chieftain dislikes the job too
much to undertake it himself what Mr..
Taft has done or left undone during
the past three years and half to war
rant the obliteration Of single word
in this remarkable tribute of friendship
and admiration.---Ne York Sun.

ers, which has always led some citi-
zens of the state to look askance upon
Roosevelt's positiveness and promptness,
seem to make it probable that Vermont
will not be in the front rank of Roose-
welt states this year.
Roosevelt sentiment throughout the
country is a mighty uncertain quantity,
ana no man yet knows how high it
may loom, or how it may dwindle before
election day.

meet with the present road run

his land a distance of 100 rods,
and fence the same on both sides

$4,000. The Board having here

chase the land at the price OF $3.50

ing on the 18th of January, 1913,

iod at $4,000
