VERMONT HAS KEACTIoNARIES.


Governor A. NJ. Fletcher of Vermont
went to Manchester, NJ H., June IA to
participate in the flag day observance
and in the course of an interview, said:
THE trouble in Vermont. as it is in
many other States, is the presence of a
small reactionary group, who are thor
oughly and blindly conservative, and who
oppose in an unthinking and reckless
fashion every proposal which contemplates
progress in legislation. The majority of
the people of Vermont are. I am con-
vilced thoroughly progressive. Unless this
progressive sentiment is given expression
in laws, serious conditions will be created.
Personally, l think l may properly
be described as a liberal republican. |
want to sec, and hope to see, the progress
sive elements In the country coalesce in
to one formidable and predominant or
ganizatlon.
1.-THE work as executive Of oven so
small State as Vermont has opened
my eyes to many things which I did
not believe could possibly exist. When
the trouble occurred at Chicago in 1912,
did not understand some of the po l.
tons assumed by Colonel Roosevelt, be-
cause ] had not had at that time the
experience I since have undergone. To-
day his position is much more clear to
me, and In many of the Views which he
has assumed l am in thorough accord.
And l do not exclude his strong views as
to the need of court reform in making
that statement.
The sole hope of the Republican party
is in becoming definitely and frankly pro-
gressive and liberal. Unless it does be-
come progressive 1t will die, and will
deserve to die. since It's usefulness will
have been ended"

wealth, and among these are women
of Chickasaw and Choctaw Indian

decided to divide the Indian lands per
