C. J. BELL, Republlcan
Tho treasliry recclpts for I'ip llscal
year show a detlclency of over J30.000.0 i0
Thls showliiB Is nccoimled for in p.irt
by the paym'iit of JjO.OOO.OOO o:i account
of tho l'anama canal purchase and the
loan of J4, 000,000 to the St. I.ouls exposl
tlon company. On the normal basls of
operatlon there was a surplus of 13,000
000. The eheapest demaROBUery heard ln the
state conventlon wns the reference of
Mr. Cliapln of WashlnRton county to the
1000 cows whlch Mr. Bell kllled nt Essex
Junctlnn. Thls nttempt to make polltlcal
capltal was recelved with lauBhter by
some who, evlilently thoUKht n joke
had been crncked. Tlie work of the
state board of nKrlculturn whlch Mr. Bell
iUrectcil amonB the tubereulnus henls
of cuttle In Chittenden county was In the
publlc's lnterest nnd In nceordance with
Iaw nnd koo1 sense.
Mr. Bell had linidly renehed hls rnom
at the I'avlllon after the adjournment of
the state conventlon before Mr. Stnnton
and Mr. DeBoer called to coiiRi-.itulate
hlm. That was just llke them. The St.
Johnsbury Caledonlan tells of another ln
cldent:"As Mr. Pti-arns was ascendiiiR the
stnlrsnt the close of the conventlon, he
tnet Ur. Mead. the defeated candldate for
lleutenant Bovernor. and, haltlnB. he ex
tended hls hand to hls less fortunate com
petltor. but the Rutland doctor elevated
hls chln and passed on lit sllence." Evl
ilently the conventlnn made po mlstake In
lts nomlnatlon for lleutenant Bovernor.
It Is up to the farmers of Vermont to
take an aetlvc, aRRressle pait in the pres
ent cnmpalRii, nnd to help ln every way
In RetthiR out the vote whlch sliall carry
tlie news to the entlre land In Septemher
of the size of Mr. Bell's majorlty. Mr.
Bell is a genulne farmer of the best type.
Barstow and Orout were knowii as farm
ers' cnndldates, but both had nehicvetl
ilitinctlon in other llnes of effort. Mr.
Bell. however, has made fnrmiiiR hls llfo s
work, with the exceptlon of the time
whlch he lias Biven to pulille affairs. Hls
liomo today ls on the ancestral ncres at
Walden where he was born, but he has
doubled the neienge of hls fathers. and
hls present farm of 400 acres Is one of
the flnest In Caledonia county.
Tho platform of the Prohlbitlon party
of Vermont contains thls clause: "We
lainent the mental nnd inor.il decadence
of the Republlcan party of Vermont In
1902 wlilch made it posslble as n matter
of mere polltlcal expedlency and nlarm to
abandon the Rreatest moral and flnnnclal
Issuo In existence, to whlch during Its
entlre hlstory as a pnrty ln Vermont it
had Rlven Its constnnt adherence on the
ground of IiIrIi moral and lesal prln
clples, thereby idaclng Itself on the low
level of (he Democratlc party on thls
Issue." If tlie Republlcan party of tho
state wns formcrly sueh nn Incarnation
of vlrtue as licre outllned we fall to soe
what excuse the Prohlbitlon party had
for existence untll the present tlme.

uniiuestlonably a memonible one, per
luips more so than any other polltlcal

xistenee of the American republlc. As

mrty had Its nrlgln In an arouscd and

not a uuestlon of llnancc, polltlcal econ-
