Advocates c. S. Emery for Governor.

| Advocating G. s. Emery as candidate
for governor simply because he had
something to do with building CON
| crete highway in Newport is an argu-
ment of very little weight Was this
his only qualification for assuming that
position it would have a mighty small
| bearing with the voters of Vermont.
What would they know or care whether
he was the whole thing in the CON
| creting of Newport's main street or
not The fact remains that he was
not the whole thing" Others were in
terested in that street as well as he.
He was one of the committee, and as
such, acted in conjunction with them,
as would be quite evident. Was the
head of the committee no doubt in the
carrying out of plans, and took the
eursing which follows in the wake of
such Improvements, and was deserving
OF special praise on this account. But
all this would appeal to the voters of
Newport alone The voters of Vermont
in their support of Col Emery as candi-
date for the governorship would look
for qualifications other than those just
mentioned. They would expect him to
bs an duNbthlt VI Euou Tbdurs as ne IN,
and for every other improvement that
is beneficial to the state. They do know
he is capable of facing most any issue
and holding his own with the best.
That ne does not sidestep, or palaver,
or beat around the bush, or show
false front, or bow down to that not in
line with his belief for the sake of adu-
lation or to please. He is a man of fine /
of sound Judgment a good /
speaker, progressive, and if a candidate |
for the governorship and elected would .

is not much for booming imaginary
candidates for office, or advocating
their names too far in advance, for the
sake of being the first to place their
names in print 1t looks too much like
rushing the hopper for effect. Too fire.
luently the guns are all fired, and then
up springs a new candidate who wins
out with a sudden dash Col. Emery
may and may not be a candidate for
governor; but ii he is, it will not be be-

A healthy man or woman simply
cannot loaf. When you lack energy
and vitality you don't feel like work
ing. All the organs of your body are
sluggish. You are not keen for either
pleasure or work. You eat a plenty
perhaps but your stomach and diges'
tive organs do not build up your
strength. Dissipation in one form or
another may have caused your trouble.
Nature needs the help that Cadomene
Tablets will afford anyone suffering
with that tired feeling, with headaches,
body pains, restlessness, sleeplessness,
dependency, loss of energy, etc. Try
taking Cadomene Tablets instead of
using strong stimulants like whiskey
or wine. They will give appetite, aid

There had been so much
suspicion rooted in the minds of
the working people by old
party politicians and press for
so many years that it seemed I'M
possible for the three groups com
posing the Alliance to agree to any
thing. Each group-the farmers,
the railroad men and organized la
bOr-had a wholesome fear that
one or another of the groups was
trying to dominate the Alliance
and for three days there seemed no
likelihood of harmonious agree
ment. But at last. on the fourth
day, they got together, ironed out
the wrinkles of disagreement and
did the right thing. Then the i'm
possible" happened. A state or
ganzation was formed and the
Triple Alliance started on its way
to take over the State of Washing
ton from the corrupt plunder
verein.
The Non-partisan League made
a hard fight for recognition as the
farmers group, but lost. The con-
vention refused to recognize the
League as the representative of the
farmers group, but only as a group
of farmers.
A constitution was finally adopt-
ed, to be submitted to a platform
convention of the State Triple AL
lance, the date to be later an
nounced by the State Executive
Committee.
That committee was then elected
consisting of fifteen members
three from each congressional dis

What is the good of fooling with
the old parties? They don't mean
business. Equally they are con
trolled, supported and operated by
the money and brains of our privi-
legged governing class. This class
owns the country and government,
because it owns the basic natural
resources and our transportation
system. 1t holds out of use vast
quantities of land coal, iron ore,
oil, water power, etc. keeps them
beyond the reach of labor and
capital in order to kill competition
and raise prices. These are facts
which the old parties leaders do
not see. They cannot afford to see
them No honest man can see and
go on talking the buncomb he has
to talk to get nominated on an old
party ticket.
Here is a test of party which
means business and is for the pub
| lie interest. If it stands openly,
unequivocally, and in way it can't
crawl out of, for taking out of the
hands of the privileged classes and
into the hands of the public the
railroads and the basic natural re
sources, it means business and is
for the general good. If it does not.
it is a class party and unworthy of
support by serious people
President Wilson, before too
much foreign affairs had dulled his
vision, said:
Our government has been
for the past few years under
the control of the heads of
great allied corporations with
special interests"
Again he said:
Don't you see that they
must capture the government,
in order not to be restrained
too much by it? Must capture
the government? They have
already captured it,
The job of patriotic Americans is
to recapture their government, or
rather to set it free again. And the
way to do this is to take into their
own hands the things which mean
power.

HOW TO ORGANIZE A
COOPERATIVE STORE
(By DR.. Frederick C. Howe)

There are upwards of 5000 CO.
operative stores in the United
States with a membership of 500,-
600 persons.
What is cooperative store how
can we organize one; how can we
manage it successfully? are the
kind of questions that Labor is re-
ceiving from its readers throughout
the country. We will try to answer
these questions.
First, a cooperative store is a
store in which the consumers are
stockholders. They subscribe to
the stock with which the store is
started. They elect the directors
and in them get all the profits or
surplus or savings which are dis
tributed back to them at the end of
the year on the amount of their
purchases. The consumers are their
own middlemen They own the
store and operate it.
Most cooperative stores have
been organized by workers. In the
country districts they are organized
by farmers. The railway employees
have been prominent in the CO.
operative movement all over the
country.
The first step is to hold a meet
ing of ten or twenty persons to dis
cuss the idea, and especially the
ability of the organizers to make 1t
a success. Members should be
neighbors or bound together by
some common interest as are mem
bers of labor union.
The organizers should familiar
ize themselves with what co-opera-
tion means. They should spend
some time in studying its aims ana
purposes. Some member OF the
group SHOuiu piSp"lV b"bN
read book TO the others. 1t is a
good plan to know something about
the history of the movement. 1t is
very necessary that there shall be
a considerable number of people
thoroughly animated with the co..
operative spirit and dedicated to the
idea to carry it through the early
devs of the movement when its
needs enthusiasm and devotion and
hard work. For cooperative
store viii not live by itself There
are many difficulties and dis
couragements. And it is those who
believe in the idea that will see IL
through.
