Saturday night was caucus night in
Brattleboro and the three principal po-
litical parties nominated candidates for
town representative. No contest had de-
veloped previous to the caucuses, conse-
quently the attendance all around was
small. Scion A. Richmond was nomi-
mated by the Republicans, DR.. Edward
r. Lynch by the Democrats and Edward
c. Crosby by the Progressives. Mr..
Richmond stepped aside in 1910 in be-
half of ]. G. Stafford, the present Pro-
gressive nominee for senator, and Mr..
Stafford was elected, receiving 55S votes.
DR.. Lynch was the Democratic candi-
date at that time and received 527 vote J.
The reason why DR.. Lynch ran so close
to Mr.. Stafford was that the latter re-
fused to have teams or automobiles used
in his behalf, while the Democratic town
committee ran teams and cars all day
for DR.. Lynch.
DR.. Lynch's vote fell far behind the
Democratic vote of 1908, when NJ. ].
Moran, the Democratic nominee, re-
ceived 712 votes against 500 for Her.
bert G.. Barber, Republican, who was
elected on the second ballot. The Re-
publican vote that year was split, Will
liam Tanning running as a Citizens
candidate.
In 1906 f. W. Gibson, now a leader OF
the Progressive forces, was elected as a
Republican, receiving S31 votes to 4S1
for Charles A. Boyden, Democrat.

The Orange County Senatorial Situation.
The senatorial situation in Orange
county is attracting attention throughout
the state.
In the regular Republican county con-
vention, held June q, Hale K Darling
of Chelsea was unanimously nominated
for senator. Among the parti-
cipants In the convention were
Rev. Frazer Metzger, Judge Morse and
NJ. NJ. Wilson. all Of Randolph. Since
the convention was held Mr.. Metzger
has accepted the nomination of the Pro-
gressives for governor. Since then, also,
certificate of nomination has been
signed for Mr.. Darling as the Progress
sives senatorial candidate and among the
signers of the certificate are Judge Morse
and Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Plumley, Republi-
can nominee for Congress, and Mr..
Fletcher, Republican nominee for gov
ernor, addressed the Orange county con-
vention in which Mr. Darling was NOM
mated, and no hint was dropped but
that the convention was the regular Re-
publican convention for Orange county.
About Aug. Mr. Darling was notified
that the Progressive party had nom
mated him for senator, and he at once
wrote asking for a copy of the Pro-
gressives' state platform. On receiving
1t, it became apparent that he could not
allow his name to be used as a Progress
sive candidate ana he at once wrote to
Mr.. Wilson, who headed the list OF
signatures on the Progressives' certif-
cate of nomination, that under the pro-
visions of Act 1875 of the Public Statutes
he would elect to run on the Republican
ticket only. In his letter Mr. Darling
stated in detail why he could not run
on the Progressives' platform and closed
as follows:
Il am not disposed to question your
sincerity nor that of the many who ar,
| taking the same course. But in the pc.
| sition of your party leader L must con.
| fess | see nothing but an insatiate am.
bition. and vindictive attempt to wrecl
the great party that made him.
LAS before stated, l am extremel,
sorry to be obliged to part compan,
politically, with many who have beer

| My Telling in this matter Is not one o.
| anger, but rather of grief. This grief
| however. finds some solace in the fac
that l firmly believe that before tn,
year 1916 We shall all again be working
together, shoulder to shoulder a.

Mr.. Darling has taken the manly, con.
sistent, straightforward course. His DO
sition ought to win the support of ever,

men who like clean. straight fighter

for Governor and Crosby for Repre-
sentatIve-Not BoIter This Time.


Ernest j. Waterman,
Chairman Republican Town Committee.
Dear Sir
This is my resignation from the Re-
publican town committee. While l am
deeply interested in the success of the
Republican state ticket and shall do
what l can to bring about it's election,
the nomination of Edward C. Crosby
for town representative on the Progress
sive ticket makes it impossible for me to
serve on committee that is opposed
to his candidacy. Aside from the person.
al reasons that enter into this particular
case, l have always held that in local
than party labels.
The main service we expect of a repre-
sentative to the general assembly is in
no sense partzan, and partzanship in
his choice should count for no more
than 1t does in the selection of our town
and village officials To my mind the
important consideration in the coming
representative campaign is the quail
ications of the different candidates with
relation TO the legislative duties which
they aspire to perform, and / would be
lacking in family pride as we'll as in
recognition of long public Service IL |
did not consider Mr. Crosby the best
man for the office.
Very truly yours,
HOWARD c. RICE.
p. s. The fact that | attended none of
the caucuses Saturday evening relieves
me In this particular instance from the
stigma CD of the term "bolter."
