A STRONG TICKET.

The Republican state convention
nominated an unusually strong ticket.
a ticket untrammelled and unhampered,
a ticket of men who have made good
because of their worth, ticket
representing Republicanism. 1t is
highly satisfactory to the Monitor
with a possible exception.
G. w. Gates is undoubtedly the
strongest man in the state today as a
gubernatorial candidate, and while the
Monitor has said and still believes
that his service to the state in his
present capacity would be as great as
in the governors chair. his great
worth in that high position is unQues-
tionable. That he knows and will be
able to select a man for state highway
commissioner to carry out the Gates
highway policies better than any other
man in Vermont, is also unquestion.
able.
Hale K. Darling for lieutenant
governor is recognized as an able man.

My dear DR.. Jackson:
I have receiverd your telegram and
your letter of July 81, reciting the
endorsement of the Progressives of
Judge Prouty for the position of United
States senator. | most cordially con-
graduate you, and l earnestly hope for
the success of Judge Prouty. Mr.
Dillingham; was perhaps, on the whole.
the most prominent of the defenders
and endorsers of Senator Lorimer dur
ing the months when the aroused
public opinion Of honest men through
out the Union forced Senator Lorimer's
expulsion from the United States SEN
ate. OF recent years. Senator Dilling-
ham has been one of the foremost
representatives of the type of public
servant which has found its strongest
expressions in the activities of Messrs.
Penrose and Barnes. Judge Prouty is
man of absolute independence. an
aggressively honest man, to whom
every species of political and financial
wrong-doing is abhorrent, and who, by
| his admirable work on the interstate
commerce commission. has shown that
he is one of the leaders in the movement
of sane radicalism, which represents
the effort to apply the spirit of Lin
coin Republicanism to the social and
industrial conditions of our own day.
| Vermont has occupied a position of
high honor in the nations past. 1t is
lamentabIe that she should lose her
attitude of leadership in the present
With Judge Prouty in the senate, she
would, in signal and striking fashion,
re-establish this attitude Of leadership
l have no question that every Progress
sive will, as matter of course, rally
behind Judge Prouty. Moreover, not
only hope, but believe, that good and
far-sighted citizens, generally, whether
Republicans or Democrats, will also
| support him. The issue raised by his
candidacy is one of much more than
mere party significance. It should
represent the union of all good plain.

County Committee Meeting.
Ten towns were represented in the
county committee meeting held at
Orleans Friday afternoon. The entire
committee were unit in their desire
to place complete county ticket in
the field this fall. The reports from
every member Of the committee were
to the effect that instead of the Pro-
gressive party losing any of its adher-
ents, that there was an actual gain in
party members, and that in a county
where two years ago the national tick
ct received over 400 more Progressive
not be difficult to elect an entire
county ticket. The committee as a
whole elected an executive committee
to propose a county ticket and to set a
date for the county convention.
In Regard to Enforcement.
Much comment is heard on all sides
as to just who the Progressives intend
to endorse on the state ticket at theil
convention at Burlington tomorrow
There is no question but that the
Republicans have placed upon thei1
state ticket the names of some. men
worthy the endorsement of any and al
parties, and it is practically foregone
conclusion that some of this ticket will
be heartily endorsed by the Progress
sives throughout the entire state, but
there are other names on this tickle
that the Orleans delegation cauno
endorse, AMI it will be, surprising i

Barton Town Committee.
F. W. Cutting for Town Representative.
F. w. Cutting was practically the
unanimous choice Of the Progressives
of Barton for town representative,
receiving all but three votes as the
nominee of the party. F. w Cutting
came to Barton over TWEEN ytwo years
ago as director and superintendent
of the Peerless manufacturing COM
pany, remaining in town twelve years,
or until his election as president of
that company, when his duties called
him to the head office at Newport, N.
H., and New York, where he spent
nearly six years, returning again to
Barton nearly four years ago, so that
of the past twenty-five years MIR. Gut
ting has spent nearly sixteen of them
fifty years old, man of unimpeacha-

He is Progressive not only in party
name but in every act of his daily life.
! He has never sought office at the hands
! of his townsmen and his business
duties have until recently precluded
his desiring or holding town office.

Little Vergennes did herself proud
in the McDonough centennial celebra-
ton there last week. The building of
a fleet at Vergennes by Thomas Nc
Donough, who sailed it up the Otter
Creek into Lake Champlain, where he
met and engaged and defeated the
British fleet in battle during the war
of 1912, is an event that should be
more widely known and appreciated
through Vermont. The telling effect
of McDonough's victory 100 years age
is not generally appreciated. This bit
of Green Mountain state history ought
to be made more of in Vermont.
