THE COLONEI'S RAID INTO vER-
MONT.
(From the New York SUM

On the eve OF his departure for YER
mont the colonel shrewdly conceded the
State to Mr.. Taft, who says that he is
"out Of politics." The colonel is not. He
has drawn we'll, but the great crowds
of curious people that flocked to look
at him and gauge his oratorical powers
had already made up their minds that
Allen NJ. Fletcher, the republican candi-
date, would he the next governor of
Vermont. although he might not receive
a majority of the votes cast at the State
election on Tuesday. and that the cleo
toral vote of Vermont would be counted
foy Mr.. Taft
Mr. Fletcher, who. there Is every rea-
son to believe. will triumph over Har-
land b. Howe the democratic candidate.
the Rev, Frazer Metzger. the Bull
Mooser. and c, +. Smith. who is heroi-
cally striving to rally the prohibition!sts
through his influence with the State
grange In a last ditch assault upon local
option enjoys the general esteem Of his
fellow citizens. As for the national cleo
ton, Vermont republicans are, in the
mass too staunch in their party faith
to abandon Mr.. iaft. although they re-
sent his attempt to convince them that
Canadian reciprocity would inure to
their benefit. At the same time they
know that the colonel originally advo-
Gated reciprocity, however he may try to
escape from the dilemma now
| Why then, the colonels foray into
} Vermont? The answer Is that he plans
to make use OF the Green Mountain State
as a Bun Moose barometer. There is
discomfort there are grievances in Yer
mont, chiefly east of the mountains. and
wherever men at odds with political
conditions however loca' they may be in
character the colonel seeks to divide
tho Republican party for his future profit
and advantage. The Vermont progress
sives are republicans almost to man,
the exceptions being socialists; and the
Iquarrel Is not SO much with economic
conditions as with the ruling elders of
the party who shut the door Of oppor-
ltunity In their faces and legislate to suit
themselves
The percentage of 'soreheads'' in the
progressive ranks in Vermont IL abnor-
,mally large Every hundred votes added
to the Rev Frazer Metzger's tally for
governor Will stiffen the colonels argu-
ment that II the yeast Is fermenting In
old republican Vermont what a devil OF
a rising there must be In the rest OF
tie country for the colonel and his pol.
icies. II Is a new use OF Vermont Az a
political barometer. but he is now clutch.
