Some commOnsense Suggestions.

Vermont Republicans will have an
opportunity next September to vote
for town, county and state officers.
The names Of an excellent list of
candidates will appear on the ballots.
There is no good reason why Repub-
licans should not vote for these can
didates and give them good, old Re
publican majorities.
We are told that the Republican
state committee is planning to shape
the campaign on national issues. II
so. we will hear a lot about, "as goes
Vermont, so goes the nation" the
beauties of protection, and the wick
edness of the recall and referendum.
Wouldn't It be much better at this
election for Vermont to consider
strictly state and local matters? Why
be asked to divide attention with
national issues which are to be vot.
ed upon at the November election
There is no marked division Of opin.
ion among Republicans regarding the
state ticket and none regarding the
county ticket in Windham county.
Regarding national candidates and
platforms and issues there may be
radical differences. Why stir up
these differences in a purely state
election? Dragging in national can
didates and issues now looks like
poor sense and poor politics. AS Re
publicans let us attend to home
matters first. There will be plenty
of time to look after the nation af-
ter the September election is out of
the way.-Bellows Falls Times.

Progressive Convention.

The Vermont progressives have
eaten out of the hand that feeds them
and has obediently nominated a full
state ticket quite in accordance with
the preferences of Theodore Roose-
welt The harmony of the convention
was ruffled somewhat (but only
somewhaD by the split between Mr..
Batchelder and Mr. Thompson, two
Vermontprogressive chieftain.
The formers dearest hope was 10
secure an Endorsement of the candl.
dacy of Mr. Harland B. Howe, the
Democratic nominee for governor,
but along comes his colleague, Mr..
Thompson, with winged words from
the national provisional, progressive
committee to the effect that the hope
OF getting the organization under
way whatever that may mean) lay
in putting a straight progressive tick
ct in the field which was done.
The platform contains the usual
planks, now become so familiar; II
may be said to be fairly redolent OF
Roseveltism in that ii pledges an
! independence of bosses, while pledg
ing support Of Theodore Roosevelt
This is what the head Of the new
/ party most desires. Selfish? Not 8
bit Of it. Lofty patriotism; that's
all.
Meanwhile there was nothing IN
the action of Tuesdays convention L
cause Mr.. Fletcher and his associates
on the regular ticket the slightest un
easiness, as those gentlemen havt
probably realized before this.-Rut

Congressman CantriII Failed To
Fill Appointment Last
Thursday.
THE OLD GUARD WAS THERE.
Tobacco Growers Warned OF
Disastrous Results Of
Indifference.

For some unknown reason Hon.
]. Campbell Cantrill did not keep his
appointment to speak on the tobacco
situation at Pembroke Wednesday
and in this city Thursday. He sent
a telegram merely stating that he
would De unable to come. His fail
ure was great disappointment to
, the county officials and the farmers.
General Manager F, G. Ewing and
John Coutts. of Springfield. came
Thursday morning, filed with disap-
pointment at the non-appearance OF
Mr.. Cantrill. AS Circuit Court
was in session and an important
commonwealth case was on trial,
with many others to be taken up,
Judge Hanbery could not adjourn
and give the tobacco men the use OF
the room. meeting was held in the
council chamber. About 100 per-
! sons were present. W. W. Radford
ymade the first speech. He made an
earnest plear for everybody to join
the association and predicted that
the prices for tobacco would be as
low as they we're eight years ago if
the association should disband and
go out of business. He was follow
ed by Mr.. Ewing, who, on account
of illness, confined himself to ten
minutes. He took the ground that
every man shou d either be in favor
Aof the association or against 1t. He
mas no patience with the men who
keep silent, not taking sides. but al
low other men to hello them He
considers Christian one of the most
important counties in the black
patch. 1t is one of the largest. one
of the wealthiest and raises one of
the largest crops. So much more
NE reason why they should sign up
for three years He said that sign
ing for three years means a cent a
pound more for tobacco than sign
ing for one year. He believes that
in two weeks his county (Montgom-
cry, Tenn will sign up for 80 per
cent of the next crop.
Mr.. Ewing was followed by Mr..
Coutts, who is most thoroughly &C.
ouainted with all the doings of the
association. He claimed the closest
attention of the farmers and his re-
marks put many of them to think
ing. If enthusiasm and earnestness
of purpose can do anything In arous
ing indifferent farmers to action.
Christian county will surely be in
the association by the time the books
close.
