REV. METZGER NOMINEE OF YER.
MONT PROGRESSIVE PARTY.
Interest In State Centers About
Candidate Sos Governor.

Montpelier, VT, Aug. 20. - lone
great thing in our favor" says the Rev.
Frazer Metzger, Progressive candidate
for Governor, ''is that no one promi
nently connected with the Progressive
movement in Vermont has any personal
interests to serve"
This is correct. No one of the candi-
dates on the Progressive State ticket
and no one prominently connected with
the Progressive movement in Vermont
can be justly accused of seeking the
promotion of any personal interests.
In fact, most of them are making per-
sonal sacrifices.
THE HEAD AND FRONT.
About Mr.. Metzger centers the inter-
ests in the State. The other candidates
are not active on the stump and have
never been prominent in public life.
Mr.. Metzger is clergyman. He was
born in New York State about 40 years
ago and came to Vermont in 1902. He
was pastor of Congregational Church
in Randolph. There was another church
in town known as the Christian,
church having much the same creed and
confession of faith as the Congregation
alsts. This division appeared waste
of effort, and after he had been in Ran
dolph few years Mr.. Metzger succeeded
in effecting a union of the two churches.
Personally Mr.. Metzger is the most
popular citizen of Randolph.
HOW HE CAME TO SERVE
Politically he was an unknown guam
tity until the opening of the present
campaign. He was delegate to the
second district convention which elected
Roosevelt delegates to the Chicago con-
vention.
He was also delegate to the State
convention in which he was defeated,
and to the State nominating convention
held later at Burlington. In each of
these cases he succeeded in impressing
his ideas and his personality on the
delegates.
Previous to the holding of these con-
ventions Mr.. Metzger had never been
considered possibility as candidate
for office. There were actual aspirants
for the nomination which was given to
him. But his earnestness and sincerity
made him as strong in political as he
had been in religious circles and the
nomination was given to him without a
contest. The question in the conven-
ton was not whether he could secure
the nomination, but whether he would
accept it.

Where Ignorance 10 Bliss.

What do you think of a candidate
for governor who processes to be a
lawyer and who in public speeches
throughout the state displays his ig-
norance Of the provisions Of the stat
utes? Do you think that man who
is ignorant of the duties and juris-
board. would make a competent chair
man for that board?
OF course you do not, but that Is
Just what Candidate Martin. who seeks
to become governor on the Progressive
ticket. has done. In series of cam
paign addresses. Mr. Martin has either
wilfuly misrepresented facts or else is
ignorant OF the things Of which he
speaks. In either event he has shown
his unfitness for the office to which he
aspires.
House bill 222. which Martin declares
was a public utilities commission bill
and which Governor Hawley vetoed, Is
another instance Of the ignorance of
Mr.. Martins position In the present
campaign. BY reference to the files
anyone can find that the bill in ques-
ton proposed a separate tax commits
sion consisting Of two members ap-
pointed by the corporations. two by the
municipal board and fifth to be APP
pointed by those. for each public util-
ity IN any little village in which a suf-
ficient number Of signers could be OBJ
tanned on a petition.

each public service corporation in
every little hamlet in Idaho. Can you

HAlNEs A sPHiMx
ON PUBLIC ouEeTioNs

A man who aspires 10 the highest
elective office within the gift Of the
people Of the state should enlighten
the people whose suffrage he requests
as to what he means to accomplish in
the event Of his election. The people
have a right to know and demand a
statement from each and every candi-
date as to his position on public
questions.
In the present campaign. John M.
Haines. a member Of the firm Of W.
Il. Pierce & Co.. who have been promi-
nertly identified with the ownership
Of street and interurban railways: q
man who served one term as mayor OF
Boise, is seeking gubernatorial honors
on the Republican ticket. For weeks
he has toured the state, making talks
in practically every town In which he
stopped, but UP to date we have yet
to find one instance when the esti-
mable gentleman has told the people
what he proposed to do In the event Of
his election. ta
II will give the state a business
administration" has been the sum and
substance Of his speeches. We would
would have who would tell the people
that he would not handle the affairs
of the state in a business like man
ner?
Another of Haines' slogans has been,
take your tax receipts to the polls
with YOU Presumably he means by
that that he does not approve Of the
present system Of taxation. Perhaps
he does not, but UP to date he has not
told the voters how he will set about
remedying the matter. We want to
know-the people want to know and
II Haines knows himself, let him out
with 1t.
We dare Mr.. Haines, in the face Of
his attacks on the tax reforms insti-.
tuted by Governor Hawley, to tell the
people that he would return to the
old "hit or MISS method Of valuing
property. in the event Of his election.
We dare him to make plain his stand
on this question.
Mr.. Haines. you and your friend Joe
Peterson have INDUCED in generalities
the campaign; now get
down to business and tell the people
whose votes you beg. where you would
improve on the efficient and trust
worthy administration Of the present
governor A physician who can dag
nose disease but cannot name the
remedy is worthless; a candidate for
any office who can find fault but
cannot tell how to correct, is equally
worthless.
Governor Hawley's administration
has been open and above board every
official act of Hawley has been done
in the light of day and without fear or
favor or political prejudice. In the
present campaign Governor Hawley
not only tells of things as they are but
makes clear and convincing promises
Of what he proposes to do II re-elect-
ed. Everyone knows where Governor
Hawley stands and when Nov. s rolls
around, the voters Of Idaho will show
by the largest popular vote ever ac-
corded n candidate for office In idaho,
that they want a man for governor
who refuses to hide behind yelled IN

frankly and that man Is Governor
