from July !, 1900 to October s, 1905
the total fees paid 10 the state through
that Office amounted 10 A9,429.7s
while in the six years since that time
during whrh Mr., Bailey has held
Office such amount has been s5S5,427.-
76, as follows: automobile license fees
sl72,2s6.2l, liquor license fees Ss4,-
23200, charter fees s22.095.00 and
miscellaneous fees S6si4.55.
''In the last fiscal year there was
disbursed by the state for education
and highways a sum larger than all
the general state expenses amounted
to twelve years ago, Every one is in
favor Of such expense and the educa-
tiona commission is recommending
still further appropriations for educa-
iion. If we are spending too much for
these purposes curtailment of expense
should be made. But do not remem-
Der that Mr.. Howe in the Legislature
of 1908 tried hard to change the
school law as recommended by the
committee on education so that the
town Of st. Johnsbury would not re-
ceive from $4,000 to $4,000 per year
from the state for not maintaining a
high school. Such sum was then being
paid as rebate to the town for
buttons paid by the town to St.
Johnsbury Academy, when Burlington,
Rutland, Bennington, Brattleboro,
Barre Montpelier, ST. Adams and
many other large and small places in
the state were maintaining high
schools and receiving no aid Of any
kind from the state for such purpose.
If Mr.. Howe would tell the people
what he knows about how this bill
got lost" in the Senate after having
passed the House the information
might be interesting.
when Mr.. Howe says that Guy
Bailey and myself have cost the state
$4,000 per year in running the in
surance department he fails to call
attention to the fact that this sum is
paid out of fund paid in by the in
surance companies for that purpose
and which last year amounted to $12,-
900. 1t is upon the same principle
that the salary and expenses of the
bank commissioner are divided among
the savings banks and trust companies
so that the latter pay for their own
supervision, and in addition last year
paid taxes of S623, 3,683.17. The insur-
ance companies in the same year paid
Sl56. .04S.66 in taxes in addition to the
sum above mentioned as the expense
of their own supervision. More than
$4,000 of the yearly cost of the insur.
ance department was spent in the ex-
animation and computation of the re-
serves of the National Life Insurance
Company so that the people OF tnls
state might know that the company
was in situation to fulfill its obliga-
tions to future widows and orphans.
"The foregoing covers some of the
criticisms of Mr.. Howe touching three
important administrative offices. In
closing | might add that if Mr.. Howe
cares to investigate salaries of state
officials in other states he will find
the salary alone of the state treasurer
of several states exceeds the total ex-
pense of my Office for the past year.
Every truly yours,

estate Treasurer"

DISGUSTED WITH DEMOCRACY
People Beginning to Get Wise to Con
ditions as They Actually Exist

Washington, Oct. 25-Congressman
Frank P. Woods, of Iowa, chairman of
the National Republican Congressional
committee. made the following state
ment today:
"The Democratic party enters the
concluding week Of the campaign OF
1914 with only two assets-the war in
Europe and the epbemeral Bull Moose
party. The Republican party is coming
back into power. Indications, today
point to the obliteration of the pres
ent Democratic majority in Congress.
There is no longer the least doubt Of
sweeping Republican gains IN every
quarter of the United States.
"The people are dissatisfied with
Democratic incompetency. They are
weary of Democratic experiments
They are tired of Democratic decep-
tions. There is good reason for this.
The American citizen has Jared poorly
both at home and abroad. Industry is
stagnant. Business demoralized. Labor
is unemployed. The people are ready
for the restoration Of the principle OF
protection, advocated by William Nc
Kinley under which industry thrived
and the people prospered.
"The Democrats in Congress have
been guilty of gross extravaganza.
The money they have spent with prof
ligate waste has come from the con-
stituents of the very men sent to Con-
gress to conserve the Nations wealth
and administer its fiscal affairs eco
nomically.
"The Democratic administration has
embarked on a policy of paternalism
uneoualled ever before in this country,
The Democrats claim Jefferson as
their patron saint yet, at the same
time, they are burying even the mem
ory of his principles deeper and deep
er by executive usurpation of the leg
islative function.
"The Democratic administration has
shown thinly-veiled hospitality to IN
dividual effort and the Democratic
members of Congress have begrudged
the success of all individual enter
prise.
"The Democratic Congressman
should be held individually responsible
by their constituents.
"The people had already come to
realization of Democracy's inefticiency
and of its hostility to their interests
and rights when the world war came
along to obscure the true issues. The
eagerness with which the Democrats
seized upon the terrible conflict in
Europe as an excuse for all their fail
ures only goes to show the dire straits
in which they found themselves as
result of their visionary experiments.
"The people are afraid of the Dem
ocratjc party"

DELEGATES TO ROAD CONGRESS

The following Norwich men have
been named as delegates to represent
that college at the Fourth American
Road Congress at Atlanta, Ga, Nov.
9th to 14th:
Captain Frederick H. Rand, Class OF
1864, Sanford, Florida.
James B. SWEET, c. f., Class Of
1906, Southern Pines, N. c.
Clarence L. Tenney, c. E., Class Of
1906, Frederick, Md.
The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1914-10-29

ut will be seen that the resolution
has been ratified by States which cast
a total of 290 electoral votes. The
whole number of votes in the electoral
college is 531, SO that only 266 were
necessary.
"The method Of reapportionment OF
delegates just adopted has been advo-
Gated since 1880. The system of un-
equal numerical representation,
against which many States constantly
contended, was the legacy of years
and of political custom and therefore
not in any way identified solely with
the convention of 1912.
"The new plan will eliminate con-
flicts between the rules of the party
and the laws of several States, will
reduce the number Of contesting del
egations, and, based on the vote OF
1908, will recrease the total number OF
delegates by 49,"

are willing to pledge a bona fde
private subscription of $500 toward
building a good wagon raod across
mountain here.
1t is thought this road would not
cost more than l 500 to 50 900.
This is practically raising one
third of the cost by private sub
scription.
If Highland county will build a
third and Bath county third, the
building of the road is assured.
