President Wllliama of Vermont Farm Ma chine Co, to Chapman, Thad M. Chapman, chairman of the Re publican state committee, has received from Mr, N. G. Williams, President of the Vermont Farm Machine Co., of Bellows Falls, a letter which effectually disposes of a Democratic allegation. The letter which explains itself, Is as follows: Bellows Falls, Vfc, Aug. 21), 1904. Mr. Thad M. Chapman, Burlington, Vt. Dear Sir My attention has been called to an article being published lu the Dem ocratic columns of Vermont papers which Is headed, "A Concrete Illustration for the Vermont Farmer." The ' following 5s stated in that article: "When Mr. Mandigo of Bellows Falls went to the Vermont Farm Machine (.'om: pany to order a butter print for a friend, be was Informed that the prioe was $10. 00 ordering it shipped to Derby Line and mentioning that the friend was In Canada he was told that If, he could guarantee that It was to go Into Canada ho could have it at the price they sold in Canada, 17.00." There is no truth in the above state ment. We have no butter printers priced at 10.00, never had any gueh and our prices in Canada are the same as in the United States. That statement is in keep ing with a good many other statements made in the democratic columns and there Is no shadow of truth in It. Very truly yours, Vermont ' Farm Ma chine Company, N. G. Williams,Pres. TO BARRE TOWN VOTERS. One of the most important issues of the day, aa far as Vermont is concerned, is that of good roads. John Jones, the In dependent candidate for town repre sentative, has had a vast amount of ex peri ens e in this line, having served the town of Barre as highway commissioner for nearly the last ten years, and is claim ed by the state highway commissioner to be one of the best In the state. We would therefore think It advisable to send a man to represent the town who has had so much experience In the town's affairs. We do not question the ability or qualifica tions of the opposing candidates, but we believe In every man voting for what is going to be for the best Interests of the town. We should also bear in mind that the office of representative Is one of more consequence than we are apt to think. One man can fill one public office much better than another and Mr. Jones In this in stance is much the better man. I ndepend ent Voter. WASHINGTON COUNTY RALLIES.

"UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL5 Republican City Committee Says Some' On tbe Representative Question. Is there anv reason, iroorl. had or indlf ferent, why Republicans should scatter meir votes ana tnus lose tne enect of a solid front and worse than that help elect certain of the enemy to office? If there is a reason does it outweigh those on the other side".' Republicans are united beoause they be lieve In certain fundamental principles. The platforms adopted by the representa tives of Republicans declare these princi ples. The candidates nominated by these same representatives are bound by these declarations of principles and If elected will carry out your policies thus outlined. Every candidate of the opposition whom you assist In electing is opposed to these policies and will likely oppose them with his vote and influence, and thus you. by voting for him, assist in negating what you desire. Suppose the question should come tip this fall in the legislature as to adopting a "Valued Policy" regarding tire insurance? Which candidate would be the best to handle the matter, the Democratic who is agent for several large fire insurance com panies or the Republican who is not tram meled In this way? ' Perhaps you think this Is nothing, but let ns illustrate. Suppose you have a piece of property that you consider of the value of $2,000 and you secure an insur ance on it for that amount. It burns. The adjuster comes to settle the loss and some kind (?) neighbor quietly Informs him that your property was of much less value, not worth over $1,500, and the ad juster on like statements concludes not to pay the $2,000. You have the alternative of accepting less, or fighting a suit, with the chances of having these same good (?) neighbors ready to assist the insurance corporation. Although the property was actually worth and cost you the $2,000 and the loss is total you mnst lose either way. ' The agent who accepted the risk was the agent of the company; he took the premium and the company aocepted the risk and your money and yet when you lose, the company can avoid partial pay ment or force you to expensive litigation. Under a "valued policy" law, suoh as many states have this could not be done. Tl. , 1 . I . ,, . iuo lusuiauco wiujuuies are au against a valued policy. Is Pape or Wells in the best position to work for the people of Barre on snch a matter? Wells of course. Vote for Bart U. Wells. The work of the legislature is done largely in the committee room. Re publicans are given all of the best com mittee appointments. Thus a Republican representative has the far better chance to do good woik. Wells Is safe on this line. Vote for Wells.

Barre-Moutpelier lost the first game yesterday when it was apparently cinched. L p to the seventh tbeeore stood four to one in our favor. Then St. Albans step ped in and scored at least one in every inning thereafter, tielng in the ninth and winning out In the tenth. The particular feature of the game was the stick werk of George, the St. Albans pitcher, who in live times up, swatted four safe ones.

George and Hafford hit safe and the former scored on Loughlin's out at nrst. Haitord was thrown out at the plate attempting to score on Bennett's grounder. St. Albans made it four to four in the eighth. After Hlggins had liied out Uniac got a base on balls. A passed bail sent htm to third and he scored on McGraw's hit.

There was an audience of nearly 3,000 yelling people at the start of the game, Toward the close there was a considerably less number and they were silent as the grave with the exception of a bunch from Rutland who made the welkin ring. Vickers was pitted against Minnehan and was knocked out of the box in the second Inning. Crislall, who succeeded him, was no better. Rutland got a total of sixteen hits, while Minnehan was hit for only six. The home team's fiieldlng was also of the school-boy order. Hartman was the bright particular star, making five errors out of ten chances1 The score: 1 2 3 4 6 0 7 8 0 Burlington 0 400002107 Rutland 0 3 0 0 0 2 4 0 014 Errned runs, Burlington 2, Rutland 6; two-base hits, Carroll, Duff; three-base Minnehan, Cotter; stolen bases, Carroll, Robertson, McMabon, Sheehan, Kennedy, llartman ; base on balls, by Vickers 2, by Crlstall 4, by Minnehan 6; struck out, by Vickers 2, by Cristall 0, by Minnehan 6; double plays, O'Uara to Carroll, Laurenee to Hazelton; hit by pitched ball, Brennan; passed balls, Duff 1, Brennan 2.
