Once Again the Old Guard.

ssThe Old Guard docs not want Abe
Foote for governor. That is one Of the
known. facts Of this campaign. So far
they have not found the man to run
against him successfully the Old
Guard never intends to start any one
but a winner. Why Is the Old Guard
| opposed to Footeg Opinions differ.
Probably ii r because they cam y
handle him. Let us see what are the
requirements for a governor this year
Absolute honesty; 6xed ideas in favor
Of economy; the nerve to carry them
out even if it makes enemies. The
rest is up to the legislature We must
first nominate candidate for goser-
nor. then elect legislature. Let US
do things dceently and in order y
seems to us that Honest Abe Foote's
record is good enough TO Indicate that
he would make the kind OF a governor
the people evidently want. Not gov
|ernor OF the Old Guard, but of the Gem
mon people. Let ms try one OF that
kind III cannot be worse than some sye
We had given us by the Old 6uard.

The ghost OF Antagonist has nothing
on the Old Guard of Vermont. Once
every two years. Just at the opening
Of the political season, which coin
cides biennially with the close Of The
maple run, some newspaper seizes
upon the Old Guard, dusts il of and
presents it to the dear public,
1t Is the DOGGY man Of Vermont pol
itics. II is supposed to have the same
effect on grownup voters az mothers
bogey man has on little children, Its
mention is supposed to arouse fears
and suspicious; its aim is to make the
voters treat kindly the candidate m
whose interest It is invoked.
And vet, az the years have come and
gone, no one has yet seen the OH
Guard with human eyes No one has
read out its roster TO an 'expectaLt
world. II is wrapped in the same ngs,
terry as the ghost Of Antagonist, and ~
fact. il betters the ghost, for, old
though ii may be it is still always
young enough to do service.
The Old Guard ghost has been ex-
posed SO far as its non-existence is con
cerned time and time again, but il per-
sists, while the Antigonish coutraptioh,
after having been exposed once, had
the deceney to have an end To its man
ifestations and retire.
Now ABE Footc has nothing 20 tear
from the Old Guard. unless, indeed. he
is afraid OF ghosts. There is no con-
spiracy against him. Neither is there
any supernatural protection afforded
him II is any mans privilege TO run
Tor political office and there is no rea-
son why any candidate should expect
to 20 into office unopposcd. II is folly
TO try TO make political capital for a
man out OF the fact that he has oppo.
sition. And that il all that invoking
the Old Guard actually amounts to-
