President Taft's speech of accept
ance for several reasons stands out in
present history as a very remarkable
public utterance. To begin with, he
accepts Senator Roots guarantee of
regularity without a smile and even adds
his Endorsement of the proceedings
which resulted in his nomination.
What an astounding Indifference to
the injuries of the public! How com
pletely has his conscience been scared,
not to be sensitive in regard to the
methods employed at Chicago! Both he
and Senator Root know that a holdover
committee deliberately and contempt
ously disregarded the voters of the
party and changed the character of the
convention by the seating of Taft dele
gates.

Judge Lindsey has proven another
drawing card wherever he has been.
His active and effective work as a
progressive in Colorado before a Pro-
gressive party was formed has given
people confidence and interest in him.
The hall at Bristol was packed when he
spoke there, and in the little village Of
Lincoln an audience of 300 people was
gathered.
There was to have been a Republican
rally at Bristol Aug. % at 2. 80 p. m. Bos-
ton speakers came, but the doors were not
opened, because the crowd was not large
enough, and campaign literature had
been sent to the wrong town, said Re-
publican managers.
Undoubtedly the real reason was be-
cause Judge Lindsey was in town. They
feared he would answer them in the
evening.
Judge Lindsey stopped for a rest anc
to hear the Republican rally. Progress
sives here Immediately got busy ant
arranged for a rally at night.
A call for the formation of a Progress
sive club was read from the stage. This
was signed by numerous merchants anC
influential men. Judge Lindsey's speech
gained several new recruits, as shown
by the willingness with which the,

ROOSEVELT ASKS HEARING AT

WIRES TO CHAIRMAN.
COMMITTEE is SCATTERED AND MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO HEAR COL
ONEL NOW.
[From the New York Sum-.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 24.-"I
have wired to Senator Clapp asking
that be permitted to appear before the
committee on Monday" was Col. Roose-
velt's answer tonight to the rumors
that the Senate committee looking into
1904 Republican campaign contributions
had decided to summon the eX-Presi-
dent.
Here is the text of the telegram:
August "a, 1912.
Senator NJ. f. Clapp, Senate Cham
bers, Washington. D. C.
"As | am not willing that Mr.. Arch
bold's statement about myself should
pass without immediate official contra
diction, | request the privilege of APP
pearing before your committee on Mon
day. My engagements are such that
it will be the greatest inconvenience to
me and to many others if the hearing is
deferred to a later date.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
This telegram was sent. he said,
through his publicity manager, c. X.
Davis, about 5 O'Clock this afternoon
and he expected to have word from the
Senator who is chairman of the COM
mittee some time tonight.
Il do not want Mr.. Archbold's testi-
mony to go n day longer than is nee
essary without official contradiction, " he
declared in giving the reason for his
decision to appear in person before the
committee.

MR.. ROOSEVELT ADOPTS THE
RIGHT COURSE.

Mr.. Roosevelt has adopted the
straightforward and proper curse in
demanding a hearing before the Senate
investigating committee, and the COM
mittee in ordinary fairness should give
him, without delay, an opportunity to
testify. Mr.. Roosevelt could not af-
ford to do anything else. The ease
against him, it is true, is at this stage
of the weakest character. We have
two witnesses who testify that he knew'
of the contributions of the Standard
Oil company to the Republican cam
paign fund in 1904, or, rather they were
told that he knew of them. One of
them, Penrose, is so thoroughly dis
credited in every way that no jury of
impartial men would accept as true his
unsupported statement. The other,

KILLED BY THE BOSSES.

Former Senator Chandler of New
Hampshire makes a pathetic appeal to
Theodore Roosevelt to withdraw to
allow Taft to win. ''In memory of the
three martyrs Lincoln, Garfield, Nc
Kinley-let the Republican party live"
he says, with fervid rhetoric.
Mr.. Chandler speaks too late. The
republican party is dead. 1t was de-
stroyed at Chicago by the bosses who
suppressed the will of the great ma
jority of Republican voters as ex-
pressed in the peoples primaries. Col.
Roosevelt, at the convention of June,
did all that was in human power to
bring the discredited servants of the
interests to a realization of what they
were doing to the great organization.
But they were mad with the desire
for revenge for the terrific defeat adj
ministered to them by the people.
They were determined to sacrifice the
party rather than to let the people rule.
They carried through their purpose by
%chicanery and fraud. Now they are
confronted with the result they whine,
plead, or set up others to do SO. The
destruction they wrought is complete.
But the way which they took to secure
it has given the people all the clearer
light as to the methods they must follow
to get real self-government.- Boston

Above is all of this wonderfully able
speech that we have been able to Sc
cure, though every word of it which
we could hear was excellent.
When Vermonters see the spirit in
which all these quoted remarks are
made, we feel sure that they will be
drawn towards the man who made
them; will understand why he made
one of the best Presidents that we ever
had; will recognize that if chosen
again the interests of the whole people,
but especially the great majority of the
people who carr their bread by the
sweat of their brow, will be carefully
guarded.
Certainly Vermonters, no prudent
at least, will want to vote for Mr..
Taft; because he doesn't deserve it,
his whole administration being a fail
ure; the reciprocity with Canada, the
turning out of Pinchot, appointed by
Roosevelt to protect for the benefit of
the whole nation our forests and water
courses, and appointing in his place a
man who had to be removed because of
his dishonesty; and finally, the destruc-
ton of the Republican party in a most
extraordinary attempt to make it sub
serveant to his personal ambitions.
1t is, too, evident to all that Mr.. Taft
hasn't the ghost of a chance to be
elected. All votes for him are thrown
away. We believe that generally Yer
monters, when the time comes to
vote for President, will vote for the
man who stands for this great Re-
public as a whole, and is fighting
now for the interests of nineteen
twentieths of Vermonters and the
People generally; and to prevent the
success of the few who will continue
to use Office for private emolument if
given the opportunity.

WILL BRING NEW SUIT.
Condemnation of Calvert Land Has by
 No Means Been Abandoned.


 The suit entitled Connecticut Col lege for Women, trustees. vs. Jeremiah c. Calvert has been withdrawn from the superior court docket. Attorney for the trustees on Friday said that the suit was outlined similarly to the one against Frank J. Alexander, which the supreme court recently decided contained error. A new suit is to be brought in the effort to condemn the Calvert land. It will be brought be- fore a judge, rather than wait the sit ting of the superior court, so that in case an appeal is taken it will go be- fore the supreme court of errors at it's October sitting.
 The trustees of the college have rendered an offer for the Alexander land, which is being considered. It will be several days before the owner of the land decides.
