The Republican State Ticket

The announcement of Horace F. Ora
hams candidacy for the Governorship
meets with general approval in all d.
rections. The State press is unanimous
for him, and it looks as if cit was all
over but the shouting" as far as the
head of the Republican State ticket is
concerned.
Judge Weeks has announced his desire
for the second place on the ticket, and
while r. w. HulbLrd's name is men
toned for the same position he has not
as yet declared his intentions. Roger
has many friends throughout the State
who would like to see him given second
place on the ticket, and no doubt Mr..
Weeks has like following.
There will be no opposition to Guy
Bailey for Secretary of State or Walter
Scott for State Treasurer. We presume
Attorney General Barber can have re-
nomination-it he wants 1t.
AS to the successor of Mr.. Graham, as
State Audiutor, there are several who
would like the position. Dewey Hanley
has been mentioned, but we understand
he prefers to remain in his present posi-
tion-that of State Purchasing Agent,
which he fills with credit to himself and
the State. The best man possible should
be selected for Auditor. This important
office SHOULD not be passed out as apoliti-
cal sop, but should go to one who has
had experience and possesses the qualiti-
cations for the place. According TO our
way of thinking, the best man, aside
from Mr.. Graham, because of this exper-
fence, is J. E. Joslyn. He has been the
efficient Deputy Auditor Tor several years
and is well fitted to take up the work
and continue it along the lines marked
out by Mr.. Graham. He should receive
the nomination, not only of the Republi-
can party, but of all parties, tor this i'm
portant office.

The GOvernOrShip
(From the Springfield Reportcr.)

(FIom the Springfield Reporter)
Commenting on the ''straw vote" for
the Governorship taken by the Advance
of Burlington of its readers. and the
statement in that paper that Lamoille
County seemed to prefer Mr.. Hartness,
the Morrisville Messenger says
THE Advance must have about ten
subscribers in Lamoille County. How
heartless Everybody up here is for
Horace Graham, if he wants or will
take it,"
And yet it was not so long ago that
this same Morrisville Messenger said in
its editorial columns:-
ITO our mind the best available name
mentioned for Governor is that OF James
Hartness of Springfield. Best, we say,
because Vermont needs Graham right
where he is as State Auditor and guard
an of the State Treasury. MIR. Hartness
is a self-made man of great ability. who
has made a success in business'and in
everything to which he has turned his
mind. He has, of late, devoted much
time to the study of the educational
problems of Vermont, and this is the one
big question that is now up for settle
ment. Hartness has all the quali6ca.
tions for Governor in view of this great
| matter"

A Sure Thing!

Horace F. Graham, Craftsbury. will be
the next Governor of Vermont unless all
signs fail. He has been state Auditor for
fourteen years and no other man knows
the business affairs of Vermont so well
as he. Sometimes candidates for Govern.
or are brilliant, sometimes popular, some
times honest, sometimes industrious,
sometimes able, and sometimes merely
the best that is available. Mr.. Graham
is not human wonder, a paragon o.
virtue or climax of genius, but he is a
plain, sound, hard-headed, honest and
patriotic Vermonter with more good
qualities than are often combined in one
speciman of mankind. With Horace
Graham Governor the state will be wei
served. The Banner hopes and expect.
to see him nominated and elected. -Benn

The Primary Law

No one seems to be falling in love with
the primary over in New Hampshire
The Littleton Courier says: 1t is, how
ever, to be doubted if confidence in the
present primary law has been at all
strengthened by the recent exhibition OF
it. {" Here is the way the Rochester
Curier sizes it up: " 1t cost the city
practically dollar a vote for all cast at
Tuesdays primaries. The result was a
foregone conclusion. In fact, no conveu-
ton in the country's history was ever
more completely put up in advance than
were the lists of delegates in all three
parties at this primary. What result is
gained by all this expense1 Will some
body kindly arise and explain?" The
Lancaster, N. H., paper says: The pres
idential primary is by unanimous con-
sent farce. They formerly told us that
the convention method of selecting dele
gates was wrong, as it left the selection
virtually with the machine Now they
say that the delegates just elected have
been hand picked The primary is
weak" Vermont is to soon have its first
experience with this political fad.-Lyu-

YOU need A TONIC
Hoods Sarsaparila, as a Spring
Medicine, is the Best.

Spring sickness comes in some
degree to every man, woman and
child in our climate. It is that run
down condition Of the system that
results from impure, impoverished,
devitalized blood. 1t is marked by
loss of appetite and that tired feel
ing, and in many cases by some
form of eruption.
The best way to treat spring sick
ness is to take Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Ask your druggist for this old reli-
able family medicine. It purifes,
enriches and revitalizes the blood.
1t is an all-the-year-round alter
alive and tonic, and is absolutely
the best Spring medicine.
Get your blood in good condition
at once-now. Delay may be dan
gerous. Be sure to get Hoods Sar-
saparilla, nothing else can take its
place.

Publishing a newspaper is not always
an easy proposition, as various examples
of efforts in Vermont have proven. For

Gently published at Montpelier. That
paper went into the hands of a receiver
with debts aggregating S3,as4 10; and the
receiver was able to turn the assets of
the concern into S2013 2. The expenses
of the receiver, his wages and the fee for
a lawyer reduced the liquidatel assets to
the last penny, leaving absolutely nothing
for the creditors. The New England
