FLAG RAISING At
CAPITAL RALLY
F. A. Rowland Asserts Distin.
guished Friends of Roosevelt
Have Deserted Him.

Montpelier. Aug. 25.-An audience Of 1000
people attended a republican flag raising
here last night. The banner bears pic
lures of William Howard Taft and James
Schoolcraft Sherman. Benjamin Gates
presided and spoke briefly. After a selec-
ton by the band, Mr.. Gates introduced
Fred A. Rowland, who spoke in part as
follows: Theodore Roosevelt during his
career has been the friend of and has
been befriended by most Of the leading
men OF the United States. Among all
these. four men stand out prominently.
Root, who was in his cabinet and
whom he has characterized as the great
est man in public life in this country, is
one Of them. He sent Root into New
York to tell the people there that he be-
lieved William Randolph Hearst, through
his papers, instigated the murder of Will
liam Mckinley. Root has felt he cannot
follow Roosevelt and Hearst is warmly
supporting his campaign and has been
called by Roosevelt the leading editor of
this country.
"Stimson. one of the best young men
In public life to-day, has left Roosevelt.
Henry Cabot Lodge, the distinguished
senator from Massachusetts, than whom
Roosevelt had no warmer friend, has for
saken him.
Taft, the man who was elected presl-
dent because Roosevelt said he was the
man best fitted to succeed him in the
office. is the fourth man No man was
ever the subject of more eulogistic words
from Roosevelt than Taft. To-day Roose
welt is striving by every means in his
power to defeat him.
FEEL TIME TO PART HAS COME.
Have these men changed? Roosevelt
believes they have lie evidently believes
the world has changed while he remains
the same From time to time all the
distinguished men who have been the
friends Of Roosevelt have felt. sorrowfully
though It may have been. that the time
has come to part.
III ever there has been q time to stand
by the old party II is now Perhaps
there was never less reason for abandon
ing the Republican party than exists to-
day No serious fault can be found with
the policy of the party in national affairs
Within this State there is no fault. Nc
State in the Union has a more orderly
equitable or clean government than there
Is to-day and has always been under
the Republican party. The democratic
speakers make no charges Of graft OF
corruption. Nowhere are there so homes
public servants
Following another selection by the band
Frank W. Mitchell was introduced by MT
| Gates and said: This country never
knew worse hard times than under the
last democratic president and God gram
that we may never know the like again
Four years ago Roosevelt said Taft wa:
the man for president and he was elect
ed Now Roosevelt Is fighting him b,
every means he can command. We have
had four years Of Taft. Business was
never better. The business man and tn
laboring man In Vermont and In ever!
other State are prosperous"

REDMOND OER|OES
FRASER METZGER
Calls Bull Moose Candidate "a
Singular Specimen" and Lack
ing in knowledge.

Nriddlebury, Aug. pa singular
,pecimen" was the description given
Fraser Mctzger. Bull Moose guberna-
sorial candidate, by John II. Redmond
at n big republican rally in Middlebury
Tonight MIR. Redmond reviewed Metz
gers history at length, summarizing his
description at the close as follows:
Notice that Mr.. Metzger on July .,
1912, signed a document which solemnly
announced that we endorse in the main
the party platform as adopted at the
State republican convention held in Bur-
hngton. June q, 1912 Remember what
[ read to you from his speech to the
citizens of Burlington as the reason why
he deserted the Republican party. Com
pare that with the quotations from the
document that he signed himself on
July 2, 1912; and I leave 1t to you to
characterize the utterance which he
made to the citizens Of Burlington
publicly. leave 1t to you to say whether
this great curiosity, this singular speci-
men, something a little unusual in the
State of Vermont, and quite unusual in
the United States of America is the man
for whom you desire to vote for gov
ernor."
Perhaps you would like to learn
something about Metzger's notions OF
political economy" Mr.. Redmond con-
tinued. "1n his Burlington speech he
says, speaking Of borrowing money, OF
a man who wanted to borrow $1,000: He
finally had to go to bank and then
had to put n mortgage on his farm ana
pay n little higher rate of interest. The
money going into our savings banks and
trust companies is not retained within
the State, and our circulation Is suffer-
Ing from It,
"Think Of It. this political economist
says that the circulation of money in this
State is suffering because these savings
banks are investing their surplus money
outside of the State. What a narrow.
ISOLATED. waled-in place Vermont Is We
always supposed that money circulated
freely from the great centers out into
the several States where It was demanded,
regardless of what investments might be
made in other States of the Union by peO-
pie Of any particular State
but hear Metzger further: The presi-
dent of one corporation said to me that
ne wanted to borrow $4,000 and that he
could not get 1t without going to the
bank Where in the world would you
go If you wanted to borrow $4,000? Is this
IL mark of low civilization that when any
body wants to borrow $4,000 in Vermont
that he naturally would go to bank to
get TT"
The other speaker was John G.. Sargent
Both speakers were cheered often. There
was hard rain storm but the men
braved the elements A. B. Cornwall was
chairman.

BURGLARS ENTER CASH
DRAWER WITH AN AXE

Rutland Aug. 2.-While Louis Rosen
and his wife slept undisturbed In an adj
joining room late last night, some one
smashed n big window in the front or
Mr.. Roser's store In Center Rutland,
entered the store by means OF the OPEN
ing in the window and demolished tho
cash drawer with an axe. The midnight
visitors got away with about $50 in cash
and the theft was not discovered until
MIR. Rosen opened his store at nine
O'Clock this morning. The store is locat-
ed on the main street of the village and
the burglars were unusually bold IN en-
tering from the front. States Attorney
r. l.. Stafford has issued a warrant for
a strange Polander, who has been seen
hanging around the store for two or
three days, The man has not yet been
arrested.

terized It nc half-century of misrule
especially upon the subject of taxation
Mr.. Howe seemed TO make hit with the
crowd.
The second speaker was Fred NJ
O'Conncll, for three years the mayor of
Fitchburg He eulogized Governor Foss
and his administration and asked YER
mont to send down more of his brand
to Massachusetts.
The chief speaker of the evening was
Governor Eugene ~ Foss. who began at
9:15 and held the close attention of most
of the crowd for three-quarters of an
hour. He was optimistic in the extreme
and prophesied not only his own re-
election hut the triumph of the demo-
cratic ticket in Vermont as well and de-
clared that there had been marvellous
democratic awakening In Vermont since
the day when. as a boy, he knew but two
democrats in all st. Adams.
He characterized the initiative and ref
erendum as great safeguard and correct
ives though seldom used since they put
legislators on their guard The ladies' he
declared, were interested not only in equal
suffrage. which he favored, but also in
taxation and the cost of the necessities
Of life. All New England had similar
needs and should have free raw materials
and better transportation facilities, tho
latter to be secured through competition
of the Grand Trunk With the New Haven.
Governor Foss eXultantly maintained
that Massachusetts, had placed on the
statute books more constructive legisla-
| ton for the whole people in the last two
years than in all the half-century pre-
vious.
Colonel Roosevelt paid the Massa chu-
sets democracy a compliment when he
took its program Of accomplished fact for
! the progressive hope of the fu' ure. The
speaker said he left the Republican party
because 1t ceased to represent the whole
| people.
| He made a local hit against high tar
| if by saying that reduction of the tariff
! on pulp paper had served to increase in
stead of decrease wages In Bellows
| Falls and also stated that his own indus
| try had n higher tariff than was neces-
sary In closing he advised all to vote
Cor Harland p. Howe and to spend mil
lion dollars a year for better roads In
| Vermont.

PERKINS DISGUISED AS ANGEL
DuII Moose Paymuster shown to Have
Abused Women and Children In
Factory of Harvester Trust.

(From the New York Tribune.)
Colonel Roosevelt told the people the
other day that Mr.. George w. Perkins.
of the harvester trust was supporting
the Progressive party. according to Mr.
Pertins's own professions. because he
wanted t. make the country better
one for his children to live in. To this
end he desired 10 see justice done, to
improve the relations Of the govern
ment and business and get capital and
labor together on a better basis.
In "A word, Mr.. Perkins was a Pro-
gressive. ready to devote his abundant
means to the Progressive cause. not be-
cause the head of the Progressive party
once called Mr.. Perkins, harvester
trust good trust" but because Mr..
Perkins was a social reformer. anxious
to see this made a better world for
everybody to live in.
Why. then, doesn't Mr. Perkins. as
director and one Of the CHIEF owners
of the harvester trust. begin at home
and improve relations between capital
and labor?
This testimony taken before the state
factory investigating commits sion shows
hat the condition OF the workers in the
harvester trusts Irvine mill at Auburn,

Even laws made for the protection Of
labor We're not observed there when this
testimony was taken. one week ago for
though the law requires that seats shall
be provided for the workers and that
they shall he allowed to sit in them. all
of the witnesses testified that they

The hours of work We're extremely

And the persons who were thus forced
to work ten hours by day or night, stan

VERMONT'S Regularity.
(From Boston Globe.)

Vermont has gone Republican since
only eccentricity is represented by the
election of 1882, when II cast Its elector-
al vote for William Writ the anti-Ma-
sonic candidate for president. 1t was
the only state to do so. Vermont to-
day, however, has forgotten that Incl
dent. for In proportion to its population
1t has nearly twice as many Freemasons
as has Massachusetts.
When Fremont ran for president in
1856 Vermont promptly Endorsed him over
buchanan in the ratio of about four 10
one and when. four years later. Abraham
Lincoln ran against stephen A.. Douglas,
who was a native of Vermont, the peo-
pie forgot the native son sentiment and
gave Douglas fewer than 1900 votes.
while sLncoln had over 10000. Bell re-
ceived fewer than 2o0c in that same cleo
ton Since that time tho Vermont demo-
Gratis have been terribly under the poll-
teal weather, and two years ago cast
several thousand fewer votes for "A strong
candidate for governor than We're cast in
1876 for Tiden. hut the minority is I'M
terrified
Third party candidates never have
made any Roadway In Vermont in the
past Butler getting 1855 In 1854, Weaver
less than 100 in 1892 and Palmer only
/ 500 in 1896. The index of conditions in
the state is shown by the size of the Re
publican plurality. For instance, in 1889
Harrison beat Cleveland about two TO
one. but four years later Mckinley beat
Bryan about Ave to one, and the Ne
braskan was summarily showed under
in his other two campaigns,
These figures are not very encourag'
| ing for the national Progressives. yet
| there is no doubt that they will make Q
better showing In Vermont.

STICK TO THE OLD PARTY.
Fletcher, DonOway and BlgelOw Plead
with Newport Audience.

Newport. Aug. 23.-Four hundred mon
padded through the rain tonight to hear
Allen NJ. Fletcher, republican candidate
tor governor. James b. Donoway and
w. ]. Bigelow at a republican meeting
Mr. Fletcher was very hoarse from the
effects Of a cold and he could not speak
long.
All the speakers dwelt upon State Is
sues, and urged the voters to como out
and support the real progressive party
that had and would accomplish things
They also replied to Harland Howe's
taxation charges
1T is easy to say things in a political
discussion that Will leave a false I'm
preston" declared Mr. Bigelow, land
that is the case in the present campaign.
We believe that the average tax rate
for individ uais and railroads should be
tho same. and a correct compilation would
show that they are nearly 80 in Vermont.
We should get the facts before we say
what changes should be made. The facts
show desire on the part of the law
makers to deal Justly in the matter and
30 long as we act in this manner oul
legislation will be safe and permanent"
