NOMINATING SYSTEM.

The time is ripe for bringing the
party nominating system nearer to the
people and so changing its form as to
encourage their faith in it as a true
register of their will in the selection of
candidates for office. All Republican
voters should be welcomed to complete
participation in the affairs of their
party. We believe the nominating sys-
TEN of the Republican party to be es-
sentially the business of the party, and
that such reforms as are needed can be
inaugurated and carried out by the
party itself.
To this end, we, it's accredited repre-
sentatives, authorize and direct the
State Committee and the several town
committees, as may be determined be-
tween them, to provide for the taking,
at each city and town caucu held fol-
the choice of delegates to a State con-
v%ention, of a direct vote by marked bal
lot to determine the preferences of the
Republican voters as to candidates for
nomination for the several State offices.
The ballot box shall be open on this
preferential ballot at least three hours
in every city and town, and as much
longer as the city or town committee de-
LllISos III OloS ~ wv oil ItCpuD11
cans a chance to vote. The candidates
receiving the largest number of votes on
such preferential ballot shall be entitled
to, and shall receive, the support of the
deegates from such city or town at the
State convention as long as there is a
reasonable chance of their nomination.
If at such caucus there are opposing
lists of delegates and a~lternates, these
In l. l.
and the box shall be open during the
same period as the preferential ballot
box, and the persons, in number equal to
the city's or towns apportionment, who
receive the largest number of votes,
shall be that city's or towns delegates
and a~lternates to the State convention
At the State convention, whenever a
ballot is taken to determine a nomina
ton whereon a preference has been ex.
pressed by the voters at their caucuses,
the roll shall be called by counties and
towns, and the chairman or other desig-
mated member of each delegation shall
cast orally the vote of his town, and 1t
shall be so recorded and counted by the
off cials of the convention.
The caucus preferential ballot, the OBJ
legation of delegates-elect to carry cut
the voters expression, and the oral
vote at the State convention, as herein
prescribed, are also adopted as features
of the system for the selection of dele
gates to the Republican National con
v~ention, and to determine whom these
delegates shall support for the presi'
Dental nomination.
We recommend to the Republican
District and County organizations the
adoption of changes in nomination
methods to conform with those hereiI
prescribed.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican party of Vermont, en-
trusted by the people of this state with
control of it's public affairs since the
birth of the party, once more welcomes
the opportunity to give an account of
its stewardship. In almost every inn
portant respect, it has fully discharged
its trust. 1t has brought to the task of
continuous administration of state af-
fairs for over fifty years, a loyalty and
uprightness, a determination and far
sighted judgment, that have given Yer
mont a place among the best governed
States of the Union.
Within the past few years the record
of achievement has been one of almost
continuous progress. No State has been
more progressive than Vermont under
Republican rule in the passage of laws
designed to bring about equality of OPP
portunity, limitation of corporations to
their proper sphere and encouragement
of legitimate enterprise. Vermont has
led many of her sister States in legis-
lation calculated to meet the rapid
changes in modern conditions, social, in
dustrial and intellectual. AS Republi-
cans we rejoice in the record of things
well done. We mention with pride that,
despite heavy disbursements, Vermont's
government is self-supporting, and that,
too, without the laying of a direct tax,
or oppressive tax rates yielding the
States revenues. Nor has Vermont the
burden of a State debt, proper. But
though proud of our party's record, we
are not satisfied while there still re-
main tasks for u hands, and to these
we now give attention.

PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN
EXPENDITURES.

The use of large sums of money to
promote candidates. for office tends to
debase the electorate, to subvert the
peoples will and to give men of wealth
an undue advantage in a political AN
vass. We urge a strict enforcement of
the present Corrupt Practices Act, and
the addition of such features as will
further tend to lessen the undue and
improper us of money by or in behalf
of candidates.
We renew our demand of two years
ago for the passage of an act, compre-
hensive in scope and carefully drawn,
which shall require all candidates for
nomination before the political parties,
or for election before the people to the
several state offices to make public a
correct itemized statement of their cam
paign expenditures before and after the
nomination and before and after the
election, and also limiting the total sum
that may be expended on account of the
several offices, with adequate penalties
for violation.

TAXATION.

Real improvement has come to the

recent legislation. Bearing in mind that
no taxation system is perfect, Yer
