In every case the prosecution has been
confronted with a go-between, who In
varlably has been convicted and SEN
fenced. .
"One OF the chief difficulties which
confronted me in prosecuting the Aliens
In Hillsville was the lack Of cooperation
on the part of the Commonwealth's at
torney
1T has ever been a sort of a mystery
where the Aliens amassed their wealth.
1t is true they live in substantial houses
and operate farms, but IL Is not true
that any OF them live In houses costing
$4,000 nor that they have carpets and
rugs costing fabulous sums. Their idea
OF the law Is indeed primitive. They be-
lieve that IL they grow corn 1t Ills theirs
to do with 1t what they choose Thus
do they distill whisky. And they con-
tinue to distill whisky despite the con-
tinued warfare OF the internal revenue
inspectors. Also do they believe II their
right to make counterfeit money.
Went to South America.
There Is story current in Carroll
county that one of the Allen brothers
about twenty years ago journeyed to
South America. After an absence Of
several years he returned wealthy. II
is believed by many that he amassed
his wealth by counterfeiting. That may
explain why tho Aliens are now rich.
THE Aliens are of a more intellectual
type than the other dwellers of the
Of Carroll county, and their in
tellectualtty gives them sort of leader
ship that Is not disputed. They are
bold, even brazen in their attitude. They
are brave TO degree of desperation
one of the boys, Jack, ] believe, at the
last election opposed Mr. Foster for
the position of Commonwealth attor-
ney. He was defeated. That defeat
may have hastened the tragedy which
resulted in the death of Mr.. Foster
and Foster was Republican.
IT have seen counterfeit $50 gold
pieces that were declared to have been
manufactured under the supervision of
the Aliens"

State Republican Platform

The tentative platform for the Re
publican party OF Vermont has been
prepared by Luther b. Johnson of
Randolph and is published elsewhere
in this issue. In general it can be
said that Mr. Johnson has performer
his duty well and outlined a policy
which the party can safely adopt. We
call special attention to some of the
more important features.
The direct primary is not called for
but an opportunity for a direct pre-
ferential vote by ballot for state and
national officials is recommended
with provision that the ballot box be
open not less than three hours in any
town. The delegates from the town
are to be found by the preferential
choice in their town If there is no
more than one list of delegates the
opposing lists are to be voted for
in a separate ballot box and the ones
receiving the plurality Of votes shall
be the delegates. This seems to us
a very wise solution of the primary
problem Of Vermont. II will give the
voters full opportunity to express
themselves without the tremendous
expense the direct primary has thus
far involved. With such a plan no
serious wrong can be done and the
people can safely wait until the pri.
mary system has been more simple
and more adaptable to the needs OF
Vermont.
The platform seems especially fair
to labor and capital. II advocates q
fixed indemnity for men engaged in
hazardous occupations. the passage OF
law redefning the liability of EN-.
ployers according to enlightened and
humane sentiment, the creation of. a
board of arbitration to which labor
disputes shall be referred and the ex.
empuon OF Tess than $40 in wages
from the trustee process.
II demands comprehensive and
carefully drawn act demanding the
publicity Of all campaign expenses
Every man should read what the
platform says under the heading of
"Fulhllment of Party Pledges" We
can express no clearer or better the
duty of the party in this respect and
certainly hope the time has come
when the party will be bound strictly
to the performance of It's promises
We see nothing in the platform
that any man DESTROYS of honest and
efficient government can object to
and We do see much that should ap.
peal to the voter stronger than the
personality Of any candidate. No
man pledged to the enactment OF
these principles can be dangerous to
the commonwealth. Mr. Johnson i'm
his candid declaration Of party prin.
ciples has done much to place the
republican party before the people of
Vermont in a way that will merit the
hearty and undivided support Il has
received In years gone by.-St
Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN.

PROTEST BY BURKE
Vermont May Have Contrasting Dele

Rutland, June 21-A rumor to the

it's grounds for a contest but there
were not forthcoming.

convention in Montpelier Tuesday
said tonight: "The only question in
dispute before the convention arose

One of the Burke adherents moved
that the roll be accepted with the ex
ception of about IA towns, stating
that they did not have fair and pro

the delegates from these towns. The
chair then ruled the protest out Of
order and an appeal was taken tC

and the convention byt large ma
