TEnosburg Standard

The overwhelming plurality vote given
Senator Carroll S. Page in the primary
election Tuesday, and the like emphatic
reputation of Allen M. Fletcher, is a
complete vindication of Vermont citizen
ship, demonstrating in an unmistakable
manner the patriotism of the voters OF
Vermont when facing genuine crisis.
The menace of Fletcherism was real
one and was unerringly recognized as
such by the Vermont electorate. With
no claim upon the people of Vermont for
the high office which he sought, other
than that conferred by the possession of
great wealth, on fake platform of pro-
gressiveness, there was carried on for
him through the Fletcher Senatorial Club
of Northfield, and by lieutenants in the
various counties a campaign that has been
rightly characterized as one of mud,
money and Misrepresentation" the like
which it is hoped may never again be
witnessed in Vermont. Mr.. Fletcher and
his methods merited the emphatic rebuke
administered Tuesday.
Senator Page has received the vindica.
ton that was due him and the endorse
ment earned by faithful and creditable
service in the United States Senate, and
has the satisfaction of leading a winning
fight against political practices that have
too often been successful in Senatorial
contests in other states in the past.
Vermont has been rescued from this
peril and over this fact the citizens of the
Green Mountain State may well give
thanks,

TMiddlebury Register1

Vermonters are steady sort of folks
and do not like to make changes unless
good reasons are advanced, or it is clear
they are going to better themselves.
They saw no reason why they should
make change from Senator Page and
voted accordingly. His great victory
should rejoice his heart as the climax OF
his long political career and he has many
friends in Addison County who rejoice
with him.
The defeat of Judge Weeks, on the
other hand, brings sincere sorrow to very
many in this town and county. His cir
Gle of close and loyal friends is large and
they sympathize deeply with him in his
disappointment. But he has just as
many friends as he had week ago, and
perhaps more. They respect him for his
character, they honor him for his many
public services, and they know they will
always be able to count on him as man
who will do his best for the good of his
town, his county, and his State, despite
all Understandings and narrow jeal-
ousies. Such man has sufficient rewards
within himself to bear up against all ad-
yersities,

The Late Joseph Foss

Joseph Foss, whose death was announc-
ed last week, was the second son OF
Ephraim and Della Foss, in family OF
ten children. He was born in Elmore,
June %, 1888. His early boyhood was
spent on the home farm 10 that town.
This farm is still in possession of the Fose
family and was often pleasantly visited
by him during his lifetime.
On Jan. l, 1867. he was united in mar
riage to Viola o. Bedell of Gilmore, who
died Sept. 26. 1875, one child, Enoleen
Judith, was born to this union. Jan. 7,
1877. he married Diantha D. Hazard of
Hyde Park, son, Cortez Leigh, was
born to them. During the year of 1879
they moved to this village, which has
since been their home. Mr.. Foss engaged
in the lumber business shortly after COM
ing here, owning and operating mill
property for many years, proving him
self in all business pursuits. capable and
prosperous.
The deceased is survived by his wife, a
daughter, Mrs. Enoleen Kueeland a son
Cortez and stepson, F. S. Hazard all of
this place; one brother, Calvin E. Foss,
of Hyde Park and two sisters, Mrs. G. Fl.
Stone of Fair Haven and Mrs. John
Smalley of Woodville, Mass. There are
also thirteen grandchildren, six great
grandchildren, besides several pieces and
nephews.
The above lines tell briefly of the most
important events in the life of a good
man; and yet were they the most i'm
portant ? Were not there countless days
of toll and self sacrifice for others during
the long years given him? Truly we
know his was neither an idle nor selfish
life. Possessed of strength, both men,
tally and physically, the high tribute of
a clean upright life, uhblemished from
many of the common faults of men is
justly his due. His deeds are not told in
record of public offices, although many
times such trusts might have been his.
Owing to his unassumipg and retiring
nature his works seemed not to be along
those lines; rather preferring by individ-
ual and personal service to leave an in
fluence for good, long to be remembered.
For many years an acknowledged Chris
ton, several years ago he joined the
Cong'l church and always supported it
generously, many times through labor
with his own hands the doors were SEEM
ingly kept open. We can only say in
closing this brief summary of a useful
life, his friends have lost a wise coun-
sellor. the church and community a
strong right hand of help, while the home
loss cannot be estimated. "a

also sharp rebuke to Allen M. Fletcher

which they made use of in promoting his

to these gentlemen that the electorate OF
Vermont would not tolerate the methods

Senator Page been assailed by any num-

The Official Senatorial Vote
The official Primary vote for United
The Senatorship Campaign

The way in which the newspapers OF
Senatorial campaign is very gratifying,
as they are generally inclined to regard
the results of the campaign as complete
vindication of Senator Page. His victory
was a veritable landslide, the final re-
turns showing that he carried every
county in the State. The figures show
that he received more than fifty per cent.
larger vote than the combined votes of
Cows. Fletcher and Gates.
In the aftermath of the contest it must
be confessed in all fairness to those news
papers which opposed Senator Page that
they have, as whole, treated him most
fairly. In view of the heat OF the pre-
election campaign this is somewhat re-
markable.
Let us all now roll up our sleeves in
preparation for the best possible re-
suits on the first Tuesday in November.
It must be confessed that the outlook
for the customary Republican majority
is not good, not because the people OF
Vermont are less staunch and loyal in
their Republicanism than heretofore, but
because in the past they have had mo-
tive for rolling up big majority, name
ly, that we might as barometer state
show the trend of public sentiment to
our sister states. That motive is now re-
mo we'd, as the size of our majority can
hereafter have no influence outside the
State.
However, let the vote be such that
when the final reckoning of the Novem-
Der vote is made Vermont will be among
the vanguard of those States that rolled
up good majority for Hughes and Fair
banks.
