SOCIALISTS HAVE
EMEOYFOR
EXISTING EVILS
Charles Edward Russell Says
Old Parties Have Failed
TREATMENT HAS BEEN WRONG
Have Been sndeaVoring To Regulate
Instead of Eliminate the Causes
OF Poverty.

Charles Edward Russell, the we'll
known magazine writer, was the prln-
cipal speaker at socialist rally held
from the platform at Putnam House
Square Friday evening. John Spargo
of Old Remington presided and Mr..
Russell was preceded by Norman E.
Greenslet. the socialist candidate for
town representative.
The audience was not large. The
air was chilly, altogether too cool for
comfort, which undoubtedly account
ed. in part, for the size of the crowd
Mr.. Russell's main contention was
that the socialist party had at last,
after years of endeavor, succeeded
in forcing the other political parties
to admit that a condition OF poverty
existed in America. The platforms
now before the country, the republi'
can. democratic and bull moose" as
Mr.. Russell styled the latter, all ad'
mitted the socialist contention. The
socialists and the other parties, Mr.
Russell said, disagree only as to the
remedies that should be used to cor
rect the condition.
The policy of the other ply
sicians"-the speaker used the smile
of the doctors and the patient
throughout his address-was regula-
ton. The socialists propose to elm
mate the cause and the affliction it
self. Regulator, the speaker con
tended, had been a failure. For over

OUTCLASSEO BY

High School Pitcher Held Them
TO Three Hits
SCORE 90 IN RAGGED GAME
Beth Teams Played Loosely In the
Field But Bennington Errors
Were Not Costly.
SCORE 90 IN RAGGED GAME

John Scott, the Bennington high
school pitcher, was pitted against
the Cuban Giants at Morgan park yes
terday afternoon and won his game
handily by a score of 8 to 2. The
colored players have made reputa-
tions as heavy hitters but they didn't
show much of this class against the
young pitcher.
The colored men tried the bunting
trick on Scott in the second inning
and filled the bases, but sharp field
ing put them away with a single run.
In the seventh inning three-bagger
and sacrifice fly scored their sec
ond and final run.
Both teams fielded rather loosely
but the misplays of the colored play
ers came at the right time to help
out the scoring of the Huckleberry
bunch.
Carolan and Shea each made two
hits and each had an extra base TO
the credit of his stick Connors, East
man and Scott each secured singles

AN APPEAL FOR FAIR PLAY.
Criticism of Candidate Metzger 1:
Resented.

Editor of The BanneT:-GOOd citi-
zens in all parties want fair play IN
this state campaign, and | think for
the most part we have had it. But
certain of the Republican speakers
have lately been making unjust state
ments about Mr.. Metzger. candidate
of the Progressive party for govern
or. The principal charge is that hav-
ing participated in the state Republic
can convention which was held few
days after the National convention
he accepted its platform and its can
didates, and is now inconsistency
heading a boiling ticket, This is
conceived to be an unrighteous act,
into which he has fallen through the
bride of office.
Ii is hard for me to repress my in
dignation at this attack. | have known
Mr.. Metzger intimately for number
of years. He is as unseltish as he is
capable. The nomination came to him
/ by unanimous choice. as | understand,
of that representative group of Pro
gressives who met in mass conven-
ton in Burlingto nto decide what was
best to do for the Progressive cause
in state and nation. Mr.. Metzger was
not present Without any thought on
his part and greatly to his surprise he
was named. He consented to take
the nomination, as he has consented
TO lead in other civic and moral state
movements, because he was willing to
serve in cause So much for his
motive.
Now as TO the act itself Most of
us who have been Republicans eX-
pected to support the state ticket for
some time after the National conven-
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt himself had no
advice to give in the beginning as to
state movements. Plans were in con.
fusion. and everything was hung up.
II was not absolutely sure We should
have a national ticket until after the
Democratic convention at Baltimore.
Many thought Roosevelt would not
run If Wilson were nominated. In
any case what to do in the different
states became clear only gradually.
But finally it was decided to build up
party. That meant one action in one
state and a different action in another
In Maine the Roosevelt people had
largely controlled the state conven-
ton, and the nominee for governor,
VIM T. Haines, was distinctly a
Progressive. Here in Vermont Mr..
Fletcher was asked TO commit him

the necessary thing to put up a state
ticket Mr.. Metzger saw that with
others, and he acted with perfect pro-
priety when the situation had clari-
fed in standing for governor. am
as sensitive as any man to ethical
nceties. ana say Mr.. Metzger was
entirely justified in doing as he aid
| want to add that in point of abi-
ity Mr.. Metzger is worthy to stand
in The honorable succession of the
governors of Vermont II is true he
has not had legislative experience
neither had Woodrow Wilson before
becoming governor of New Jersey.
But he knows men, is a strdent of the
science of government, is very prac-
tically wise and tactful, has had bus
mess experience, and is a natural ad-
ministrator. A vote for Metzger will
count for Roosevelt but Metzger
ought to be voted for also on his own
account.

twenty years we have had regulation
and conditions have grown steadily
worse. The cost of living has increas-
ed to keep pace with the rise in the
prices of commodities. All wealth,
he contended, was the creation of
labor and of it the workers received
but one-fifth while the other four
fifths went to idlers and parasites.
The socialist remedy would be the
placing of the government in the
hands of the workers and not the pre-
ferred class.
