We defy any Intelligent citizen In
Vermont to furnish any reasonable
ground for rejection of such an able
business man and public spirited and
progressive citizen as Mr.. Fletcher in
the selection of a man to run the af-
fairs of our commonwealth to give
place to weakling or a sharp tongued
lawyer, who has little to show for his
ability as gool manager. or a man
who confesses that he is in the field
merely for the notoriety he can secure
from running for governor"
If this We're not "A presidential year.

fact explains how the Bull Moose organ

Now the question that naturally arises
is whether 1t Is worth the while OF ary

wishes to assist in promoting the welfare
of his country. to ally. himself with a
new party started, ofticered and boom. 4
by disgruntled politicians of the sort who
have climbed aboard the Bull Moose
band wagon? Most emphatically It is
not. When new party comes into ex-
istence that is lit to supplant the Old
Republican party II must be founded on
the sense of eternal right and justice and
not on the hopes OF a bunch of disap-
pointed politicians.
There is no possible hope OF tho thiy d
party carrying the country Roosevelt
cannot be elected president ana the only
result of his candidacy will be 20 promote
democratic prospects. Either Taft or
Wilson will be the next president. and
that fact already being apparent. re-
publicans who are not of the JSflce seek

to allying themselves with the Bull Moose
movement should take second sober
thought and get back in the regular re-
puhlican ranks where they belong, and we
believe thousands OF them viii do 1t be-
tween now and election day.

The third-party movement throughout

T.ET THE PEOPLE RULE"


The third term agitators are trying
to make the public believe they are
seeking self rule by the people" but
from the dictation of Batchelder by
the would-be dictator of Vermont at
oyster Bay up to the utterances of
the trust conrolled organs, every
move bellies this pretence.
The republicans of Vermont are try
Ing to secure the election of COVER
nor and other state officers by the .peo-
pie themselves by direct vote.
What are tho third term agitators
trying to do?
They are admittedly trying to throw
the election into the Legislature,
whore the governor will be elected by
indirect vote. even though they admit
Fletcher would be surely elected In
the Legislature merely because they
claim it Will help r. r. outside OF
Vermont There are less than nifty
third term representatives nom
mated in the 246 towns In Vermont
and even IL we can imagine every one

.yERMoxT"s TEST or EFFICIENCY

'yERMONT'S TEST or EFFICIENCY.
The newspapers of Vermont started
out unusually early this year to urge
towns TO pick the best available mon
for the Legislature on the ground that
important matters involving Yer
nlonts material development and gov
ernmental progress were involved.
Along comes third term emissary
from oyster Bay and says, You people
must not select any public servant
who VIII not endorse Me-
Why should the people Of Vermont
IN selecting members of the Iegisla-
!ure be required to ask the simple
question will he vote for r. R.?
Presidential electors are to be elect
ed in Vermont as well as elsewhere
next November and not In September. and
until that time the people of Vernon:
should insist upon enjoying their right
to select their own public servants
without any dictation whatsoever from
Oyster Bay. or anywhere else outside
OF our green hills
The test OF efficiency should apply
above all others to our next governor.
We all recognize that Fletcher D.
ress of Vermont through his work
with the Legislature, AMI everybody
knows that Hon. Allen NJ. Fletcher ha
many rdeas in common with the la
mented Proctor as regards the pro-
motion of Vermont's progress. He is
n flrstclass business man who will give
us a thoroughly efficient adminrstra-
ton.
Moreover. Mr.. Fletcher stands for
tices act, having voted for both IN the
Legisla ture, and he gave evidence of
his good faith by conducting one of
the cleanest campaigns for the nom
ination ever made in n bitter canvass
in Vermont.
There was not a hint of corruption
or sharp practice In connection with
the state convention that nominated
him. his nomination was made unani-
NOUS with one of his present rivals
participating, while another had aske
for the privilege Of speaking for him
because Fletcher had always stood for
the best interests of the farmers of
Vermont
Considerations OF efficiency and genu
1ne progress, and material develop
mont of our commonwealth. and a
square 1eal''---all call for the cleo
tton Of Mr.. Fletcher as governor.

Brass for Badness,

A prisoner on trial in New York city was charged with the theft of brass from the yards of railroad corpora tion.
 Why did you take this brass ?'' asked the judge.
 Well. you see." said the defendant, q was told by good friend of mine that if you melt brass and then take the water or fluid that remains and rub the scalp with 1t, 1t will cure bald ness. 1 took the first brass l came across. intending to do good to man kind with the experiment."
 The case was continued for the en- tire satisfaction of the judge as to the statement, although he has an amnle head Of hair. The defense may be an absurd tv. but it is d reminder that the mediaeval doctors went to mines before they became leeches. Paracel- sus, first to treat drunkenness with gold, worked underground for two years in Austria before he proclaimed himself a physician. Then he felt qualified to battle with any disease His patients were of all parts of Flu rope and sent for him from great dis tances. The men of that day, more than likely, were seldom bald, but the melted brass theory might have oc- cured to the miner physician and 1 trickled down to a present day New
