The unanimous nomination of
Sen. w. p. Dillingham; by the repub-
lican party of Vermont, to succeed
himself must have been very pleas
ing to him. His address before. the
convention should be the keynote
the republican congressional cam
paign-the republican party has
given the country more progressive
legislation than any other political
party and is the only party that has
been able to keep enough money in
the treasury to do business with. The
senator gave facts to prove his state
ments and convinced his hearers that
he is ready to work for all sane
progress. His announcement that
he had rendered his service to the
republican state committee and was
willing to give his time for the pro-
motion of the republican cause, also
to answer any questions the people
may wish to ask him shows his con-
tidence that he has been right in the
long years of his service.
No better appeal for Senator Dill
bingham can be made than the clos
ing sentences of the speech of JOS
eph A. DeBoer is seconding the nomi-
nation of the senator. He said:
We should not substitute expert
ment for certainty. We should re-
turn a man who has stood for a half
century of constructive work ana
now enjoys a magnificent and en-
viable reputation as a master of az
fairs, a man who stands with uncov-
cred head in the presence of the
United States Constitution.
l defy the democrats or any tenn
porary incidental faction to produce
man who can stand up and look
his record in the face.
The campaign which is now upon
us is the most notable in the history
of the country, but we will meet our
enemies at Armageddon
The victory of Porter H. Dale in
the second district convention came
as a surprise to Alexander Dunnett
and his friends but they realize it is

Plight of the Country.

The democrats nave condemned
and recondemned the Vreeland-Al-
drich currency bill as the apex of un-
desirable legislation but they have
turned to it with much enthusi-
asm as they saw the federal treas
ury being swept clean by their party
The republicans never had to resort
to the provisions of that law to keep
a plenty Of currency in the country.
The democrats have not only resort
ed to the law but have passed a bill
raising the percentage of value of
commercial paper that can be used
as a basis of emergency currency
from thirty to seventy-five per cent.
To illustrate, you give your note
for $1,000 due in three or four
months to bank and the bank can
issue $3.50 new currency for circu-
lation. The currency issued is only
a promise to pay a dollar for dol
lar of the new currency and the only
funds back of this promise to pay is
promise of some individual or firm
" pay q CCA Ldln nOIC. ndI 10 a W1QC
departure from the currency secured
by a dollars worth of gold behind
every dollar in circulation and
shows how serious a raid the demo-
Gratis have made on the United
States treasury.
To get enough money to pay the
running expenses of the government
they are discussing the imposition of
a three per cent. tax on all freight
and express in this country. This is
another addition to the cost of liv-
ing that they promised to reduce
and shows how completely they
have rified the public vaults of their
money. War taxes, depleted funds
and an unstable currency are what
the country has got in place of the
democratic promises of prosperity
and stability.

a victory honorably won and so will
do everything possible to push him
on to victory in the election With
the exception Of charge Of triple
alliance against him, Mr.. Dale has
relied entirely on his personal mer-
its and by his systematic visiting of
the voters in all parts of the district
he carried the day.
OF course the real test comes at
the polls in November when he must
secure a majority of the votes over
either a fusion candidate or two
other candidates. United and en-
thusiastic support of Mr.. Dale by the
republicans will make victory GER
tain and they should give it to him.

More About the Platform

The Bennington Banner, the RuJ-
land Herald and other papers as well
as the Free Press had called direct
attention to the paramount necessity
of explicit declaration of the party's
attitude on various questions and
in language that would be easily
appreciated by the rank and file of
the party, as well as people in gem
eral.
That which happened was precise
" what the most reactionary ele-
ment in the party and especially
powerful influences wanted TO hap
pen, and what is likely to continue
TO happen so long as the people of
Vermont are forced to contend
against the handicaps OF our pres

can press to make the omitted doc
trines republican gospel and the duty
of the legislature to enact them into
law, the platform and it's parents 10
the contrary. Notwithstanding
Rutland Herald.
These excerpts from two leading
republican daily newspapers are IN
usual to say the least. Each feels
aggrieved that more subjects were
not treated in the platform of the re-
publican party and each enumerates
some personal ideas as to what the
platform should have declared for.
Their criticisms raise the question
whether the state of Vermont should
legislate entirely by political con-
vention or by the constitutionally
created legislative body. In other
words should Vermont laws be the
voice of excited sentiment or repre-
sent the candid and deliberate judg-
men of men who have given both
sides a full and fair hearing. We be-
lieve the latter.
The. Herald would have had the
party convention limited the time the
legislature shall be in session, declare
for or against the offices of attorney
general and insurance commissioner,
a definite educational program and
reorganization of the judicial depart
ment of the state. The Free Press
in addition to these matters would
have the matter of taxation of cor
porations, the exemption of all
money loaned at five per cent from
taxation and state regulation of pub
lie service corporations. The mad
visibility of having such important
questions definitely settled by mass
of 500 delegates in an hours time
must be evident to any thoughtful
man.
Each of these questions are legiti-
mate subjects of public discussion
and none of them are questions that
can be justly settled-therefore set
tied at all-without full and deliber-
ate consideration. Any party can de-
clare for or against them but it can
not dictate what a legislature shall
do regarding them. Any attempt to
do so would only weaken the validity
of party platforms and make legis-
lation more volatile and much more
expensive than it has been in the
past.
The platform in the plank calling
for an investigation of the duties
and emoluments of the various state
officers and the reorganization of the
same upon a practical business basis
offers the only safe way of dealing
with these matters. 1t provides for
an intelligent method of remedying
any defects that may be found and
should prevent any creation of new
Offices with new officials, new clerks
and new stenographers to be support
ed from an already over-burdened
state treasury. Discussion of these
questions by the press and public is
necessary and proper but editors
should only demand the mature judg-
ment of the public as a whole on
questions of such import to the
state.

The Republican Campaign.

ne WOIh VI pAODdDAJ INC A~oS
nominating republican convention in
Vermont has been finished and it
placed before the voters of the state
the following ticket: For governor,
Charles w. Gates OF Franklin; for
acknowledgement Hale X. Darling
of Chelsea; for secretary of state,
Guy W. Bailey f'Essex Junction; for
auditor of accounts, Walter F. Scott
of Brandon; for state auditor, Hor-
ace f. Graham Of Craftsbury; for at
torney general, Herbert G. Barber of
Brattleboro. The Hon. w. P. Dilling-
ham was also unanimously chosen
republican candidate for United
States senator.
The nomination of Mr.. Gates for
governor was the first in many years
rendered a man who would not be-
come an active candidate for the
position but it unquestionably rep
resents the personal choice of an
overwhelming majority of the repub-
lican voters of the state. With four
declared candidates in the field, all
large proportion of the delegates
preferred Mr.. Gates to any other man
and they declared that choice in a
free and open manner. 1t was a
popular choice entirely independent
of any organization or clique. AS
such it must appeal to the public in
an especially strong manner. Like
wise the choice of the other candi-
dates, where there was a contest, was
decisive enough to warrant whole
hearted support from every member
OF the party. So strong ticket
representing the popular choice is
one of the big assets of the party in
the coming campaign.
Equally as strong is the party in
the platform it has put before the
people and the endorsement of it
required of every man accepting a
republican nomination. The plat
form contains no negations but is
straightforward procurement of
what the party will attempt to per-
form if placed in control of the state
government. 1t has not declared for
every personal within and could not
consistently do so after requiring the
pledge it does Of all the candidates
of the party.
AS we pointed out last week it
proposes a safe and practical method
of reducing state expenses wherever
it can be done without reducing the
efficiency Of the government, the
keeps the state free from debt but
gives it good roads, the equalization
of the expense of educating the boys
and girls for good citizenship,
cheaper and surer justice in the
courts, the further development of
the states natural resources, the
establishment of a bureau of farm
labor and markets, the investment of
banking funds in Vermont in
dustries, the publication of campaign
expenses, the enactment of a pri-
mary law and a workman's compen-
sation act. 1t has declared in favor
OF all things necessary for good and
effective government.
With such list of candidates and
such a platform the party certainly
merits the enthusiastic support of
all citizens who desire the advance
ment Of legislation on a permanent
basis. The man who fails to work
with the party this year will simply
be someone who wants to see some
one else get public Office.
