scoFFs AT FUSION.
James E. Burke of West Rutland Calls
II Out of Question.

Rutland, July l0.-Any talk of po'
litical fusion between the Democratic
and Progressive parties of the state ID
all bosh and the newspaper articles tend
ing to allege that such scheme Is
planned by the leaders and hackers OF
the two parties in Vermont are printed
without investigation, is the statement
agreed to by James Il. Burke of West
Rutland head OF the Progressive branch
of the Democratic party in the state,
and Joseph G. Jones, recognized leader Of
the Progressive party in this county and
one of the prominent leaders in the
state Both of these politicians say that
the talk all comes from some under
strapper and not from the recognized
mouthpieces of the parties. Personally,
Mr.. Jones favors fusion in some respects
but he says there is no chance OF such a
move this fall.
Mr.. Burke in his office yesterday said:
Personally | feel that this is the only
chance the Democrats will have OF get
ting anywhere in Vermont, but as far as
any talk among the party leaders Of a
fusion movement with the Progressives,
it is all nonsense. In fact ! have not
heard it discussed at any length. The
first thing bringing it to my attention
was an article in one of the Boston
papers suggesting such move. 1t was
evidently written without any investiga-
tion at all or else the interviewer talked
with irresponsible persons. ], myself,
am in favor of fusion along certain lines.
Attorney Jones of the Progressive
party takes something of the same stand
but he still denies emphatically that
there is any chance of fusion in Vermont.
Anything to beat out the old ring,
said Mr. Jones yesterday. "You know
what ! mean by that. We are out to
break the old line Republican standpat-
ters. That is the way | feel personally,
now remember that This is not the
voice of the people whom / will repre-
sent on the county ticket.
"The question of fusion with the Dem A.,
,cratic party is beyond all reason. For
Instance, the people of the county | |
hink wish to stand back of straight |
ticket and this chance they will be given |
f the present plans are carried out
'The idea of fusion with the Demo
rats would be knocked in the head in a
minute when man stops to think of
he big break in that party so evident
t the present time. / fail to see what
ould be gained by an amalgama tion
With the Democrats of the county or
tate"
