He Frankly Came Before tn,
People

There is no sign that Frank
Howe's friends are deserving him be-
cause of the advent of Mr.. Clement
into the governorship contest. 1t is
only reasonable to grant that he will
have to lose some votes to the Rut-
land man, but so will Darling, and
probably more. Howe can stand a
bigger drain than can Darling be-
cause of the two Howe was much
the stronger, it not having been i'm
probable that he would have carried
the city of Burlington itself, the
home of Judge Darling. Howe's
friends, for the most part, will not
desert him, which is testimonial Of
his real strength. People are real
izing that ratification or non-ratifi-
cation in no way depends upon the
governorship contest and Howe was
the only candidate who spoke frank
ly to the people on this score. That
straightforward speaking, such as
characterizes Mr.. Howe, pays is evil
denced by the unexpected situation
which has developed, with contend
ing men claiming support on an is
sue which does not involve them one
way or another. Howe instinctively
took the right position. 1t is to his
credit. 1t will be to his proft.-St.
Adams Messenger.

Expects Mr.. Howe VIII Win

Mr.. Howe has been i'll and his
canvass has necessarily suffered. His
resources do not enable him to
match his rivals in the amount of
publicity that the primary system re-
quires. Some of his thunder has
been stolen-witness Clements di-
rect appeal to families of soldiers
that he favors continuance of state
pay something that Howe stood for
in his initial declaration. But in
spite Of these things, Mr.. Howe will
poll large and we expect the lead
ing vote in the primaries next Tues
day.-Randolph Herald and News.

An outburst of applause followed
Judge Wendell P. Stafford's protest
against teaching German in the
schools in his great address at the
Methodist church Sunday night,
showing the sentiment now SO wide
ly prevalent in the United States.
"No public money" said the Judge,
Should be paid for teaching Ger
man in our schools. If anyone wants
to study that language let him pay
for it himself"

e. A. Hamilton, superintendent of
schools, has received the following
communication from Washington:
Poison gas was one of the first fruits
of Kultur. 1t stings, blinds, and
kills. Charcoal or carbon made from
fruit pits and nut shells is used to
neutralize it. The Government
needs carbon. It asks the boys and
girls of America to save peach, april

also hickory nuts, walnut and butter

A Loyal American

Frank Howe is as loyal an Amer
lean as there is in Vermont; as
interested in the cause for which this
country is fighting as any other faith

governor he could be depended upon
to do all in his power to help win the

Oh! how it makes the pulses thrill
And sets the heart aglow
To see those magic words attached
To names of those we know,
George, Larry, Ken, and Will, and
Ted,
And Fred, and Cherry Vance,
Ali listed in the long, long roll
OF soldier boys in France.
They give their all to save the world,
These friends and sweethearts

Who chose. the way of Redeemed

To glory or the grave,
Our heroes of the starry flag,
The knights of new romance,
Who marches across the battle-fields
To victory in France.

For Governor, Frank E. Howe

For Governor, Frank E. Howe
The three-cornered contest for gov
ernor closes at 8 o'clock Tuesday
night and the Caledonian hopes that
the returns will show that the Ben
nington candidate is ahead. We like
the man, we like his platform, and
We like the high plane with which
he conducted his canvas. Though in
hospital most of the time his friends
rallied to his support throughout the
state and at their own expense did
what they could to help his canvass.
We commend to our readers the
press comments from some of the
leading papers of the state which are
reprinted in our columns today. They
reflect the sentiment of the voters in
various parts Of the state and ex-
press the opinion that Mr.. Howe's
chances for success Tuesday are
good. Here's hoping they are true
prophets.
For Governor, Frank E. Howe.

AS far as st. Johnsbury is concern
ed there is no local contest in Tues
days primaries and only three con-
tests on the state ticket. 1t looks to
US like a close fight for the first
place between Clement and Howe
with Darling third. Elmer H. John
son stands a good show of getting
the attorney eneralship and Harry
A. Black of Newport ought to lead
in the race for secretary of state.
AS for the local contests the real
test comes at the November election.

The date of the Young Peoples
Minstrel show at Newport has been
changed from the 18th to Monday,
the 18th. Tickets are now being
sold and the show promises to be a
grand success. The second act is a
stirring patriotic act, which no one
should miss seeing. The boys have
put a great amount of time and work
INTO this entertainment, and the en-
tire proceeds will go to the Red
Cross. This fact alone should give
the boys a packed house.

BRITISH FORCES SEE VALUE
OF GIVING ENEMY SURPRISE
Relieved Victory Gained Has Done
Away With Long Preliminary
DOInhnrdments.

LONDON. August 9-The new blow
delivered at the Germans yesterday is
discussed in the British papers with
keen appreciation. War CORES pond
ents and military critics unite in point
ing out the value of the factor Of sur
prise. The plans Of the allies ha6
been splendidly concealed from the en-
emy, and even his recent capture of
prisoners in the region of thc attack
had not given him any information of
value.
1t is pointed out that the day Of long
preliminary bomhardment has passed
altogether. and everything in the most
modern form OF attack is sacrificed 10
the factor Of surprise.
In this case the surprise WIS so
great as to enable the allies to OBJ
tain q success which even the most
cautious critics describe as p remark
able victory.

LEMINE'S DECLARATION

Of War Exists VIII Have
Little Weight.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-Announce-
mcnt by rremicr Nix OLAF Lenine. of the
Boishcvik government. that Russia is
in state OF war with the allies will
in no way retard immediate execution
OF the plan to extend economic aid to
Siberia.
This fiat declaration was obtained at
the White House and the State Depart
ment to-day. a careful study of the
official reports is said TO have con-
vinced President Wilson that Lenine
has yielded to the influence of the Ger
man ambassador AT Moscow rather
than TO the sentiment OF the Russian
people.
To know the real attitude of the Boil
sheviki is 90 have the situation clari-
fed, II was stated. Prior TO this every
step taken had been made in the dark.
Lennc will be quick TO shift his sym
pathies. it is thought as soon as it
can be demonstrated that the success
OF the American and allied plan will
lift the German yoke OF oppression
from Russia.
The very fact that the pronounce
mcnt does not appear to be predicated
on any plan for hostile aggressive ac-
ton is regarded as evidence that the
policy OF the BoIshevik leaders was
hastily considered.
