The list of "offenses" of Hon. Allen
NJ. Fletcher during his administration as
governor, so generously omitted in the
St Adams Messengers list of that Off
calls transgressions, and supplied in the
columns of The Tribune, has attracted
the attention of the st. Johnsbury Gale
DOMAIN, and that esteemed contemporary
has been moved To make--unconsciously
but nevertheless appreciably-the great
est tribute vet paid to Governor Fetch
ers service to the state. The Caledonian
| thinks the legislature of 1912 should be
given credit for the measures mentioned
as having been pushed through the legis-
latre under the leadership of Mr.. Fetch
err as governor. And that is precisely the
credit that Mr.. Fletcher gives.
From the very outset Mr.. Fletcher has
pronounced the legislature of 1912 one of
the most efficient, constructive and
faithful general assemblies within the
memory of the recent generation, and he
will doubtless regard it as high compli-
ment that an opposing paper should deem
the "offenses" named deserving enough to
be credited to the legislature in question.
He has been content to bear the kick"
aimd at him by few inspired newspa-
pers, but he is generous enough to give
full credit TO the lawmakers who so
faithfully co-operated to do what is COM
ing at this late day TO be recognized as
great service for the commonwealth.
Indeed, the friends of Governor Fletcher
know that he is determined, no matter
what else happens, that the legislature of
1912 shall receive the credit that 1T
failed to receive owing to campaign of
misrepresentation so vigorously waged
against his administration and all having
anything to do with it.
A brief summary of this service for the
benefit of the people of Vermont will be
and informing. For instance:
Measures to equalize the burdens of
taxation.
Increasing the taxes of the railroads by
the sum of $4,000 biennially, and the
taxes of the express companies by $685.
600.
Forcing the American Express COM
pany to pay taxes like other people.
Measures regarding freight demurrage
for the benefit of the shipping public.
RELOCATION of the railroad lobbyists
who sought to dominate legislation, espe
,ially through the Senate.
Steps to prevent the attorney general
from acting as buffer between the rail
roads and the people.

Legislation to remove dangerous high

Insistence upon such bonds furnished
by state officials as any good business
man would demand in dealing with his
own affairs.
Measures to encourage the develop
ment of the water power of the state and
at the same time reserve the benefits
ultimately for the upbuilding of Vermont
industries and the prosperity of our peo-
pie.
The promotion of conservation of ver-
mont's resources in different departments,
especially forestry, with increased public
ity for Vermont attractions.
One Of the greatest achievements of
any administration since the progressive
two years of the governorship of the late
Hon. Fletcher d. Proctor is the measure
urged by Mr.. Fletcher during his cam
paign for the governorship, and enacted
by the legislature of 1912, designed to
keep Vermont money at home and enable
our young farmers and young business
men to start in life for themselves here
at home, instead of being forced TO go TO
other states, where millions of Vermont
money had helped to build up other COM
munities. As the years go by, this great
to encourage Vermont money
to build up the Green Mountain state
will stand out as one of the most benef-
cent measures ever embodied in Vermont
statutes. This one act alone entities Gov
arnor Fletcher and the legislature of 1912
to the gratitude of all Vermonters.-

7. R. OUT OF
POLITICS
He Has Retired from Pub
lie Life, He Re-
peats
ONLY A PRIVATE
CITIZEN NOW
Needs Rest Cure, Says His
Decentralization Abso-
lutely Not Serious

New York, June l7.--Colonel Theodor,
Roosevelt, according to his own state
ment yesterday, has retired from publ,
life. He repeated yesterday Afternoon
his assertion that he is out of polite.
and that he now wants only to be re-
garded and treated as a private citizen.
After a poor night some alarm was
expressed yesterday morning over the
colonel's condition. DIR. Hubert V. Guile
OF 924 West End avenue was called into
consultation. After an exhaustive exam,
ination DIR. Arthur B. Duel of ~ East
Fifty street announced yester-
day afternoon that Colonel Roosevelt
condition absolutely was not serious
and that all the colonel needed was rest
1t is probable that the ex .president win
stay several days at the Langdon hotel,
Fifth avenue and Fifty. sixth street, to
undergo treatment and recuperate from
the attack OF illness from which he now
suffers.
Colonel Roosevelt himself declared yes
terday afternoon that his condition need
not cause any worry. He said that he
had strained his side during heavy
cold, and that every time he eoughed ii
hurt the place where the strain was. The
trouble, he asserted hopefully, would en-
tirely disappear under rest treatment
The colonel took occasion to deliver
farewell to public life, on being shown
the part of the Democratic platform that
deals with the activity Of disloyal Amer
leans. Although he showed intense in
terest in the subject he declared, when
he had finished reading it, that he had
absolutely no comment to make on it.
After repeating the assertion that he
was out of politics and had retired from
public life, the ex.president expressed
his desire TO enjoy the quiet of private
life. He said that he no longer wished
to see any reporters, but that if it was
absolutely necessary he would consent
to see one man, once a day, who could
act as a representative of them ALL
Colonel Roosevelt made the declaration
that he stood absolutely by his previous
utterances and would continue to stand
by them. He had not changed his views
in the slightest, he said, and had no ad
ditions or retractions to make. Then the
colonel said he wanted to leave public
life.
Dr. Duel gave out the following state
ment after Colonel Roosevelt had been
examined:
"The colonePs whole condition is ir-
-itating, but absolutely not serious. It |
IS a tempest in teapot. He has very
cough that originated in the
-egion of the larynx. During violent
spell of coughing he broke one or two
strands of his left ribs. Naturally. when
he coughs or moves his rib it is very |
painful and distressing.
1T is purely local condition, though,
md the thought of him going to a hospi
al is ridiculous. Dr. Derby, his son-in-
aw, has strapped him to alleviate his
,ain as much as possible. His local con-
lition is improving and certainly the
olonel will be absolutely well in a cou
lie of days"

HUGHES AND
ROOSEVELT WILL
MEET SOON
Those That are Responsible for Story
Declare That the Colonel Will
Stump for Hughes.

| New York, june l7.--That Charles Z
Hughes, Republican presidential candi
date, will soon have conference Will
Theodore Roosevelt, was the strong be
lief to-day of men identified with
Hughes campaign.
1t followed on the heels of rumoI
emanating from the Roosevelt side Of
the house that the colonel would see
Hughes yesterday. In view OF the fact
however, that Roosevelt expects TO stay
in town and Hughes will leave at 3
o'clock to be away two days, this is held
inaccurate.
Those responsible for the news that
the men win confer also are of the
stump for Hughes.
Charles f. Hughes, regular fellow, will
be the Republican presidential nominees
role next week. In his own words, he's
going back to Brown university, Provi-
dence, R. l., TO "have a good time with
the boys"
Monday afternoon he leaves here for
rovidence-otherwise Little New
York" He will fraternize at Tiverton,
r. l.. Friday, with the boys" with whom
he was graduated from Brown 35 years
ago, participate in the commencement
exercises at Providence and have a hand
in the meeting OF fellows to which he
belongs.
Thursday night he will return 20 New
York, ready to renew his preliminary
CO mpaign work. By that time he will
have a manager and national commit
tee chairman. Up 70 to-day, however,
these positions are in doubt. In some
quarters, the belief fingers that Hughes
and the old guard aren't entirely har-
monious about the entries. Hughes
friends say both sides viii be smicable
beore Monday.
Colonel William Hayward, former New
York state public service commissioner,
is strongly backed BY New Workers as
manager. Frank Hitchcock unofficial
Hughes boomer at Chicago, has old guard
and national support extensively.
Previous 70 slipping out OF town for
Hughes had many callers.
