respect Ofthe Taft Roosevelt controversy
Why shouldn't he Wouldn't it be open
to tair criticism as an abuse of the guber-
Material office if he turned its always great

than thou, but to recite a fact: The
Governor OF Vermont that started in to
influence such a political situation here
would hear from it in about twentv-four
hours after the people knew what he was
doing Adams Messenger
You are eternally right, brother. Let
the man who has been elected to the of
fee of Governor, or any other high posi-.
ton inthe gift of the people, adhere
faithfully to his job. He. is not there to
lay political wires, or build political ma
chimes, but to act as the favored trusted
servant of all the people. In that "New
Vermont" for which we are all waiting,
the absence of political boss will mean
more to the manhood of the state than
better roads or larger industries. Let
the bosses, if we have any, be recalled,
or called in, and not sent out again

down at Columbus.
TAFT has probably made mistakes. for
to err is human, but no one questions his
integrity, his patriotism or his general
good judgment. He is great big-heart-

Why all this splurge about so many
Republican Governors being for Mr.. Taft
and so many for the Colonel? 1t is at
the most but an expression of individual
choice and there is no claim that it binds
the various states represented to the ia

that the score now stands 9 to Sin favor
