Montpelier, Oct. 81.

Montpelier, Oct. 81.
The House today refused to accept the
report of the elections committee on the
Guildhall case, in which it was recon-
mended that the seat be declared vacant
There was a brief discussion which re-
suited in "a vote to allow the returned
member, Mr. Kellum, to retain his seat
There appeared to be no doubt that the
election in Guildhall was improperly con-
Quoted but IL seemed to the House I'M
wise to discipline the town by depriving
it of representation for the fault of few
election officers.
The trustee process bill as amended by
the House was passed by the Senate this
morning and Immediately signed by the
governor Its amended form is unsatis-
factory to many who believe that the la
Dor men have been handed a gold brick.
Under the old law no action under the
trustee process could be brought unless
the debt amounted to $40. The new law
makes II possible for the creditor to
bring an action for any debt however
small, and the costs that may be imposed
upon the debtor may make more of a
burden for him than to have all his wages
subjected to trustee. 1t is true that so
of his wages are exempt, but he is LA
BILE to more trouble than before.
The Senate spent more than an hour
this morning discussing the proposed
amendments.
Little business was done in either
house today, both bodies adjourning this
afternoon in accordance with resolutions
of respect for Vice President Sherman.
The bill raising the fees of jurors from
So to SO per day came up as special or
der In the Senate, but was left as un-
finished business when the resolution for
adjournment was adopted
When Senator Rabbits bill exempting
from taxation money loaned on real es-
tate mortgages at not more han per
cent came up in the Senate Mr.. Laird
moved to amend by substituting a bill
which he introduced this morning, which
provides that money loaned In this state
on any obligation secured by mortgage on
real or personal property or bond for a
deed should be exempt II bearing inter-
est OF not more than five per cent. Mr.
Rabbit said he did not personally object
to the amendment. but he questioned
whether 1t was wise at this time to ex-
tend the principle underlying his bill to
such an extent. The bill was ordered to
lie and made special order for Novem-
Der ~.

full we'll Popularity seekers always ad-
vocate large expenditures, Mr.. Taft in
stead has encountered several adverse
gales due to his studious efforts at re-
trenchment, And this is only one ex-
ample of the conscientious and studious
way in which he has conducted the du-
ties of his great office.
Amid all the turmoil of the present one
safe prediction may be made. No hu-
man being who votes for Mr.. Taft on
Nov will ever have occasion to regret
1t. The larger probabilities are that
many thousands of men who then refuse
or neglect to support him will afterwards
see their mistake, Mr.. Taft is a man OF
character and of quality and of strength.
His record is clean. He deserves well OF
his fellow countrymen."

Partisan Newspapers

The partisan newspapers fail to state
facts as to growth of the movement. Wit
ness the truth of this assertion.
Three former Republican state senators
of Windhani county have joined the Pro-
gressve party. No mention has appeared
in machine controlled papers.
Republican committeeman from six
towns in the County resigned to accept
positions as Progressive town committee
men. Did you see any mention of it in
the machine papers?
Democratic town committeeman have
resigned to join the Progressives. y for
mer candidate for state office on the
Democratic ticket Joined the Progressives
Did you see any more than passing mem
ton in the machine controlled papers?
Scores of lifelong Republican business
men like our representative have left the
Republican party-why?
On the other hand, these same papers
seize upon and magnify every Incl
dent which tends to show and holding to-
gether of Republican or Democratic
forces.
These are the facts. This advertising
is inserted that you may know the truth

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
The Progressive
Sweep

Certain Republican bosses are as busy
as bees spreading reports that the Pro-
gressive cause is losing ground. Such re-
ports are wholly without foundation. The
circulation of them is an old thread bare.
eleventh hour political trick to catch the
wavering voter 1t used to work; but
since the tricks of the underworld of
politics have been exposed, the attempts
of our local bosses are amusing.
But these bosses are as scared a lot as
ever drew breath in windham county.
They see in Progressive success the loss
of their political power in this county.
The Progressive party came into being
about three months ago. 1t stands for
justice and righteousness in American
politics; for the social up-lift and moral
elevation of our people and the putting
into actual practice in our political life
of the fundamentals of the Christian
faith. It's doctrines are the doctrines of
the trainers of our constitution, of Wash
ington, of jefferson, of Lincoln and the
Republican party, before 1t fell into the
hands of the bosses. The onward sweep
of such a party cannot be stopped be-
cause Truth and Justice will prevail in
the end.
The onward sweep of the Progressive
party make it probable the state will be
carried for Theodore Roosevelt

Jersey City is large region lying
west of New York City according to
the geographers. 1t is separated from
New York by the Hudson river and
about 1000 through trains, and is ru-
mored to be peopled by vast numbers
|of inhabitants who have attained a
high degree of civilization, using
street cars, monographs and safety
razors with great fiuency.
Little is actually known of Jersey
City beyond these unauthenticated
facts. Natives of the place who ses-
cape to New. York are very reticent
about abiding to it and usually reg
lister from San Francisco or some 9TH
er we'll known place. Explorers from
New York have occasionally penetrat-.
ed into Jersey City as far as the police
court, but have brought back little ex-.
cept tales of great hardships. In 1906
New York man got OF a PennsW-
vania railroad night train in Jersey
City by mistake and swan the river
because there was no ferry at that
hour. He escaped safely, but his hair
turned white during the trip, and the
Pennsylvania railroad afterward alter
ed its route and tunneled through to-.
the country beyond in order to insure
protection for its passengers.
Jersey City, according to the Cen
sus officials, contains almost 100000
people, all of whom have first names
and ordinary features. North Of Jer-
sey City lies Hoboken, which is in
habited by a peculiarly fierce breed

least sixty hours, and it is hoped by
the Admiralty that the vessel will be
able to remain. in the air for a longer
period. The speed required by the
contract is we'll over fifty miles an
hour, and the radius of flight includ-
ing the return voyage is to be from
1900 to 1900 miles. The new airship
is TO be completed in October.

THIS nation
Protection Means Prosperity
and Free Trade with
Adversely

It Is only a trifle more than fifteen
years since the close Of the second
/ Cleveland administration, says an ex-
change. During that time there has
| been a tremendous growth of our for
eign commerce. 1t emphasizes the
prosperous condition of cur people.
During the four years of Cleyeland's
last administration the value Of our
domestic exports. amounted to $685.
| $685. 26 and the value of our imports
| $2,931, 419.673, a total of $6,589,225,
22s. ...@
During the last four years the fig
ures show: ...
Domestic exports, 1882, sOs,444; i'm
ports, 49,44S,693, total of $12-
581, 757,137., f.. "1.
This shows in fifteen years an in
| crease of Ill per cent. in our exports
of. domestic products and an increase
of los per cent in the value of our
imports. This is to be said: Where
the products we used to export con-
sisted much more largely of foodstuffs
and raw materials, now they are made
up more largely of manufactured and
partly manufactured goods. In other
words, thanks to the beneficial eff
fects of our protective tariff, we now
consume the larger part Of our own
of our raw materials into manufac-
tured articles.
Instead of being an agricultural
country, as we used to be under low
tariff, We diversity our industries and
our productions under q protective
tariff. As consequence cur people
are more prosperous. Our imports
show steady proportional shrinkage
in manufactured articles, because we
produce and consume more largely for
ourselves. The great bulk Of our i'm
ports consists of articles not produced
in the United States or, in q partly
manufactured condition, come here for
the completion of their manufacture.
Add to the last named table the re-
ceipts Of the farmers Of the State OF
New York for the other crops not In
icluded therein, and 1t is q very rea-
sonable presumption that the lot OF
the farmers of New York State is
highly satisfactory.
Menace Of Democratic Success.
A tariff for revenue only, tantas
