CLAYTON REPLIES
TO TAYLOR'S LETTER
Maintains that Custom for Years
Should Prevail and States Attor-
ney Be from North District.

Editor Of The Refonmer:-
Being one of the candidates for states
attorney OF Windham county, /, naturally,
was considerably interested in reading in
today's issue of The Reformer the letter of
Mr. L. d. Taylor of Brattleboro on the
states attorneyship situation, in which he
sets forth, as he says, Mr. Daley's reasons
for entering the race and his claims for CON
sideration. 1t Immediately struck me as
being curious that Mr.. Daley did not set
them forth himself over his own signature
Perhaps the roundabout way of getting
them to the public is the politicians meth
cd, although not the frankest method. /
agree with the letter, whether it be Mr.
Taylor's or Mr.. Daley's, that the states
attorney must be a man of high integrity.
What states attorney would prosecute a
person for illegally selling Intoxicating IL
quor if he, the states attorney, had been in
the habit of purchasing liquor there? His
integrity should be above the purchasing or
drinking liquor at such place. He should
be courageous; he should be able to exer-
else wide discretion of his sound judg-
ment; he should be lawyer of experience.
And there is another essential qualitica-
/ ton; he should have energy. 1t is not
enough that he should know how to pros
ecute, but he should get about it and
actually prosecute Did not this last
named qualification occur to the writer OF
the l.. d. Taylor letter?
/ The claim is made. not so much that
the office has been held in the south and
for the last three terms, as that the
states attorney has been elected alter
natcy for many years from the two dis
/ tricts, and that, according to a long-cstab
lished custom, it rightfully belongs to a
candidate from the northern district thi,
year -Four years ago the states attorney
was elected from Jamaica. but he very
shortly afterwards moved to Brattleboro
Two years ago this custom of alternatin.
between the two districts was the maiI
argument used for securing the election o
a Brattlehoro candidate. Can fair-mindc,
people now renounce their own argumcnt
of two years ago:
| do not believe my integrity is qucs
toned by the writer of the letter; nor m,
courage; nor my discretion; nor does i
seem as il the question of experienc
: should initiate against me, for [ have beef
paetlcing law during the past Is years
: While my law practice has not been ;,
extensive as Mr.. Dalcys, yet, if that mus
be taken as measure of fitness for tia
office, | can guarantee to the public tina
, have had more jury trials than Nj
Daley and the present states attorney
combined had, before they held the office
: Ii Mr., Daley, with his limited experiene
, at the time of his becoming states atto1
ney Of Bennington county, made a success
of the office, as the letter would have Il
} believe, then | feel justified in thinkin
that |, with my Is years experience i
: dealing with people as we'll as with tn
law, may become fairly successful I kno,
! can try.

BACKACHE IS DIscoURAGING.
But Not SO Bad If You Know How To
Reach the Cause.

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backaehe often indicates bad
Kidneys. Brattleboro people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case:
o. F. Bailey, los Canal St. Brattle-
boro, says: 81 suffered from backaehe
and dull pains over my kidneys. In
STOPPING or lifting, sharp pains would
catch me and / could hardly straighten
again. The kidney secretions gave an.
noyance by their too frequent passages
Doan s Kidney Pills, procured at the
Brattleboro Drug Co., removed the
pains, regulated the action of my kid
neys and improved my general health.
PERMANENT BENEFIT.
OVER TWO YEARS LATER, Mr.
Bailey said: ~ haven t had any kid
ney trouble for over a year now. thank,
to Doan s Kidney Pills"

simply ask for a kidney remedy-ge

Onions MANY Virtues.

Onions are a specific for the COM
plexion. They should be boiled whole
in milk-drink the latter-or steamed
and eaten with bread and butter and
cheese. Then they make a satisfying
and nutritious meal, on which you
can do brain work or manual labor.
Try onions! The taste and after
smell? A mouthful of hot coffee takes
away both.

Regarding Nomination of Dele
gateS-at-La to the Nat
ionaI Convention.

The following signed open letter,
which is self-explanitory has been is
sued:
To the Republican Voters OF West
Virginia.
On account of the fact that the prI-
mary for the selection of delegates
to the national Republican convention
in West Virginia is to take place only
one day before the national Republi-
can convention, 1t became necessary
TO special conventions in West Vir-
ginia. to select delegates to the ma
tional convention. the names of these
delegates to go on the primary ticket
for endorsement. Such conventions
were duly and formally called by the
state committee. and the various con
gressional committees.
The state convention which met in
Wheeling on May 4, unanimously
nominated four delegates-at-large
These four delegates received the
vote Of every member of the conven-
ton. representing every county in the
state. They are, therefore. properly
Republican voters Of West Virginia
in the primary on June 8. These
four are:
Governor II. D. Hatfield.
Isaac T. Mann, Mercer county.
Ex-senator Davis Elkins, Monon-
gala county.
H. G. ogden, Ohio county.
Following the convention, other
persons who were not candidates be-
fore the convention at all, and whose
names were not presented to the con-
yention, had themselves announced
as candidates in the primary.
In view OF the proceedings OF the
convention. which was one of the
most harmonious and enthusiastic
ever held In the state. and in view
of its unanimous endorsement given
the above four candidates. It seems
to the state committee proper to make
this announcement OF the facts, and
to urge upon Republicans generally
to giye'thetr endorsement to the four
candidates above named.

Clears Complexion

I Don't worry about skin troubles. You
can have clear, clean complexion by
using a little zemo, obtained at any drug
store for DC, or extra largo bottle ut
S1.OO.
Zemo easily removes all traces of pim-
pies, black heads, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is neither watery, sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs mere trile for each
application. 1t is always dependable.
