Vermont is the last of the eastern
states to take steps to organize a

Far and away the most interesting
phase of the national political situa-
ton is the movement that has brought
Henry D. Estabrook, of New York and
Nebraska, so prominently to the front
as a candidate for the Republican pres
idential nomination. First spoken of
as q possibility in connection with the
presidency less than six months ago,
Mr.. Estabroolk is today one of the
leading candidates, with evidences of
strength that are Il source of concern
to the friends of the other aspirants.
He has made speeches in every i'm
portant city in the East, Middle West.
and Far West, an arduOus campaign
experience that has put him in good
condition to meet the rigorous demands
made in the head of a party's national
ticket, and his friends in Nebraska and
other States have formed Estabrook or
CARNATIONS and are going after national
delegates in the most vigorous fashion.
Impartial observers agree that this
development of the 'Estabrook boom
has no parallel in the political history

Of the last % years, and they are be-
ginning to inquire whether the pOpu-
lar demand for new leadership is ac-
tually so strong as to give this new
man the greatest political prize over
which men struggle.
An All Around Big Man.
EStabroolA. is a big man physically,
mentally and politically. Quite six
feet in height, erect, rugged, he would
be a man of commanding presence in
any gathering. His mental attachments
are attested by his signal success in
the practice of law and by the wide
spread interest in his every public ut
terance on governmental, economic
and social problems. He has always
been a student and when he discusses
a subject he speaks with the author
fty of one who has mastered it. His
conclusions are invariably sound. and
once he has arrived at them, they are
proclaimed frankly and fearlessly, for
he is essentially a man with the cour-
age of his convictions.
For instance, he has been one Of the
most drastic critics of President Will
son and the present Democratic adj
ministration, arraigning them for their
tariff law which bankrupted the fed
eral treasury and which places the
American farmer. the American manu-
facturer, and the American laborer at
the mercy of foreign competition, and
for foreign policy which has destroy
ed the respect that the American flag
and American citizens once command
ed In every quarter OF the globe.
A Preparedness Pioneer.
Likewise MIR. Estabrook was the first
man prominently before the public to
outline concrete program Of national
defense, which he presented in an adj
dress before the American Bankers

dresses ever delivered in the North
