Countyo and State Progressives.

The county and state committeeman
of the Progressive party wish it to be
distinctly understood that any who
may have decided that all that was
left of the Progressive party in county
and state was an obituary notice, are
much mistaken. The Progressive party
two years ago showed at the polls just
where they stood in Orleans county
and polled at the November election
1898 votes as against the Republicans
1437 votes and even earlier when the
party was hardly organized they polled
for state officers at the September
election over two hundred more votes
than did the Republicans. Already a
town organization has been perfected
in practically every town in the coun-
ty, with town committee made up of
the right sort of men. If towns will
pick men Of the right calibre and of the
real progressive sort as their nominees
for town representatives they can and
will be elected at the polls.

A Complete County Canvass.

A very complete county canvass has
been recently made of Orleans county
and there is a feeling of satisfaction
among the committee men who made
it. Notwithstanding many idle asser-
lions among the Republicans that the
Pro9ressives were ready and anxious
to come back into the Republican fold,
the committee failed to find a single
man who voted the Progressive ticket
two years ago. who will not vote it
again this year, and it is expected that
many Republicans and Democrats will
be found this year to stand firmly with
us, and why not? If two years ago
you were Progressive, certainly
nothing can have occurred to change
you, while many things have clearly
shown that through the Progressive
party and that alone can we expect to
correct the existing evils.
NOTICE = If committeeman will
send in their notices and reports OF
Progressive party matters, to the
editor Of this column signing them as
committeeman, such notices will be
printed in this column. A notice from
each town as to the hour and place
where they will hold their town caucus
on September IL, the date set by the
state committee, is particularly desir.
able from each and every town COM
mittee.

sends practically solid delegation to
White River Junction for Dale. Dale
is able and while under most circum-
stances we do not believe in consider
ing geographical locations, it really
seems that Essex county deserves some
thing. Dunnett, Dale's most formida-
bic rival. has been honored with the
district attorneyship and desires to
jump from one office to another and
st. Johnsbury has and is after a
good many plums. With Slack holding
superior court position, Simonds
after the attorney generalship and
Dunnett after the Congressional prize,
it would seem to an outsider that St.
Johnsbury was trying to ''hog it" and
it is no wonder that Dale has ssome of
the Caledonia county delegation behind
him.

SAFETY FIRST.

If dollar is worth the great effort
required to earn it, it ought to be
worth the less effort required to save
it. If "Safety First" is good motto
to follow while you are pursuing the
elusive dollar, it ought to be good
motto when that dollar becomes your
own. Mankind in general does many
perilous things for dollar, some of
which perhaps may be justified by the
needs of mankind. There is not justi-
fcatlon for mankind in general to take
perilous chances with the dollar that
has been accumulated.

Skinner Writes Advance.

The following appeared in the last
issue Of the advance, the Progress
sive party paper of Vermont:
To the Advance:
The Progressive party O. Vermont
is about to face the reSaons: bi..ty of
selecting its candidate for the coming
elections, and on its choice depends in
a large measure its chance for better
ing conditions in Vermont and doing
its part toward lettering them in the
nation. We have the platform which
appeals to the voter and we must have
candidates that are strong enough if
elected to so shape legislation that the
things called for in the platform may
be enacted into laws. Let's have Pro-
gressives from start to finish on our
ticket.
Now, a Progressive is not in my
opinion, necessarily Progressive just
because he says he is. Let us select
men whose past acts and deeds have
stamped them as Progressives of true
type. Let us select such men as will
command the respect and votes of the
large and growing class of independent
voters. Let us consider only the good
of the state and nation, for when we
fail to offer the voters something that
is better, broader. and more fitted to
the times and to the betterment of the
individual citizen, then our mission as
party Is over; there is no more need
of Progressive party.
The independent voter is going to
decide the question, and if he cannot
accomplish his desires in our party he
will find some other means, and he has
very little use for politicians as that
word is generally understood. He fails
to understand why he should vote for a
man just because that man wants the
Office. or some slippery politician
wants him to have it without any
qualification but that he is a pro.
nounced party man.
So say our appeal to the voters
must be made on broad and more
human basis. and our candidates must
be men that are strong, honest, ano
that will command the respect OF
every voter in the state; men who dc
not necessarily have to get on the soar
box and advertise their progressive
ness, but rather men whose past acts
| have clearly shown they are progress
| sive according to our understanding OF
| that word Let us have men that
have helped the cause in the past, ano
be not too hasty in accepting some
man as candidate just because he is
willing to say he is Progressive fol
the sake of a nomination.

There is probably hardly voter in
Vermont but what will tell you he is
Progressive. even the hardshell old
liner of the Dillingham; Lorimer type
will tell you he is Progressive. Sure
he is the only trouble with him is he
is progressing backward and does not
know it. With our platform to start
with and men nominated who will take
a commanding place in our state and
nation, we are pointing the way for
every Progressive party man and
independent voter to make his vote
count for what he wants it to count
for-somethjng that he has failed to do
in either of the other dominant parties
and if he fails to find that way through
our party you may be very sure he will
find some other way to accomplish his
end.

No Candidate Has Clear Lead.

Republican caucuses held throughout
Vermont Thursday for election of dele
gates to state, district and. in most
instances, to county conventions were
remarkable for the lack of instruction
to delegates as to candidates favored
for various Offices. For the nomination
for United States senator there was
little expressed opposition to Senator
VIM. P. Dillingham; of Waterbury, and
for representative in Congress from
the first district there also was little
apparent opposition to the return of
Representative Frank L. Greene. On
the governorship there was nothing
like unanimity of sentiment. Indeed
if such instructions as we're given
should be taken as criterion, there
would almost seem to be a hopeless
divergence of opinion. In spite of the
fact that there were only four avowed
candidates, fifth man was brought
forward prominently and his pledged
support was not confined to any single
section of the state, much in contrast
to the four candidates who drew their
instructed or favorable delegates from
their own immediate neighborhoods.
That fifth man is Chas. w. Gates of
Franklin, who. while declaring that he
was not candidate, had said that he
would abide by the result of the con-
vention whatever that should be,
implying that should he be nominated
he would accept. Frederick G. Fleet
wood of Morristown is said to have
the solid support of his home county,
Lamoille. although the Is delegates
in other parts, notably in Chittenden
county, the home of another candidate,
Max L. Powell, of Burlington, who
was undoubtedly handicapped by late
entry. Mr.. Powell's home city gave
him support as did some other towns.
Percival w. Clement, again candidate
,, after several years, got his home city
of Rutland and he claims more support
| in Rutland county, besides assurance
outside. Frank E. Howe, lieutenant
governor, won his home town of Ben
nington and expects to have the
support Of his county with few
possible exceptions; and he. too.
picked up some delegates in other
sections. But the great majority of
the delegates were not instructed and

TERMS
THE ALLIANCE.

The Dunnett brochure advocating
his candidacy for Congress from this
district, contains this paragraph:
The Barton Monitor has an editorial
in which it announced so-called triple
alliance between Senator Dillingham;,
Percival w. Clement and Mr.. Dunnett.
This is as baseless as the fabric of a
dream. We are assured by Mr.. Dun
nett that no word has ever passed
between him and either Dillingham; or
Clement on this subject, and there is
no understanding whatever. His can
didacy stands entirely on its own
merits, and he does not know and has
not endured whether Senator Dilling-
ham is for or against him.
1t will be noted that this statement
Is written by third party. signing
she booklet, caledonia County Com
nittee." This has no particular bear
ing on the point except that Mr.. Dun
nett may not have told the committee
every detail in connection with the
alliance. Let the Monitor address the
committee:
Did Dunnett inform you of instances
where men early favorable to other
candidates for Congress changed to
Dunnett because "Dillingham men told
them tor
Did Dunnett actually state that he
was not in conference with Mr.. Dill
bingham very shortly previous to his
announcement?
Did Dunnett inform the committee
that Dillingham's county was for
Dunnett after it had finished with
Gordon, who has no chance of nomina-
ton?
Does the committee know that by
political environment, political tenn
permanent, political beliefs and political
associations Dunnett, Dillingham; and
Clement are allied!
Does Dunnett deny that he is
strongly in favor of both the other
gentlemen of the alliance?
The Monitor must confess it has
found no signed agreement under sea
whereby the three gentlemen named
above expect each others support
The files contain no such document
Between gentlemen no such document
ought to be necessary.
Lastly, did Dunnett inform you VIVA
the fabric" of a "dream" is ant
how fabric" can be "baseless?"

Ask Dillingham; where He Stands.

The non-partisan Prouty club of

letter to Senator Dillingham;.

Hon. w. P. Dillingham;,
Washington, D. c.,
Dear Senator:
We understand that the political
organization at Waterbury, which has
charge of your campaign for re-elec-
ton, puts forth as its principal claim
the argument that your fourteen years
of service in the senate has been of
great worth to the nation and of equal
honor to Vermont. To the end that
the people of Vermont may intelligent
ly discuss the matter, we are now
asking you for first-hand information
in reply to the following questions:
First. In what way did you assist in
bringing about the direct election OF
United States senators?
Second. In what way have you
assisted in working out a system of
direct primaries?
Third. What was your action on the
income tax amendment when it was
before the senate? When it was before
the Vermont legislature?
Fourth. In repudiating the tariff
pledge of the Republican party.
through the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill,
how many times did you vote with
Senator Aldrich on roll call? How
many times against him?
Fifth. During your fourteen years
of service in the senate how many
times have you addressed that body.
except in defence of Smoot of Utah
and Lorimer of Illinois?
Sixth. Has any important immigra.
ton measure for which you have beer
sponsor ever become law?
Seventh. Have you ever advocated
or voted in favor of national suffrage
for women?
We are writing you in the interests
of those voters who wish to have their
vote regarded as an expression OF
their views upon some of the important
issues now before the American PEG.

favor of an early reply, we are,

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Fox Farming in Vermont.

The planting of a black fox colony
in Randolph looks like direct counter
move to the prohibition to Prince
Edward Island promoters to sell their
stock in Vermont, because black fox
colony allowed to operate under YER
mont incorporation might reasonably
be expected to have the right to finance
itself in Vermont. However, we do
not think that there is enough unwOrk-
ing and willing capital in Vermont to
satisfy such project alone.-Barre

Narrow Suffragists.
1t is a new thing for this country to
feel a flush of shame because of any
action by southern women. Yet that
has come to pass. A New Orleans

ed proposal to send a message of
coincidence to the President Of the
United States because the woman
whose loss he mourns was not sym
pathizer with the suffrage movement.
1t would be useless to dwell upon the
questions of state, apart from those OF
humanity, involved in this action. The
women who are carefully weighing the
question of suffrage as applied tc
themselves we'll may pause if the
action of the Era club is to be taker
