THE VERMONT ELECTORS.

ST ALBANs, Vt, Nov. 10, 1915.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Aques,on arises the electoral voto Of this State
Vermont Ono OF the electoral candidates on the 70,
publican ticket Is when voted for, postmaster,
but since election clams tondcrcd his rosgna-
ton (as postmaster) to the Postmaster General, and
tho republican journals claiming that any
stitutional mpediment which might have existed in
his efectually removed by hts resignation OF
tho Post ONCE. Let examine this question In tho
light OF the constitution. Section Of the second arti
Gle OF the constitution provides that mo Senator
Representative or person holding oficc OF trust
proht under tho United States shall be appointed
clcctor." The same article provides that cach State
shall appoint, In such manner as the Legislature
thereof muy direct number OF electors equal TO tho
whole number OF Senators and Represen ativcs 10
which the Siaie may bc entitled In Congress. y The
Legislature Oi this State, IN chapter General Stat
utcs, Directs the manner IN which such electors shall
be appointed, and alter specifying tho manner In
which the election shall be conducted IN each town pro-
vides tsection so OF said chapter l:"rhe presiding
officer shall deliver 10 the County Clerk of the county
In which such town is situated within two days after
holding meeting tho certificate OF the votes taken
ana sracd up US aforesaid ana the said clerks shall
meet nj the State House In Montpelier tho third
Tuesday OF said November, and there publicly canvass
said votes declare the number OF equal to
the number OF electors 10 bo chosen having the great
cstnumbcr c votes auiy elected electors" &c.
There Is no other provision Tor tho appointment Of
electors except in case ol vacancy but II cannot be
claimed that the inegibLy OF tho ono In question
a vacancy, for there were ton candidates
voted Tor aud only nvo electors required
These ivc must be chosen from tho whole number OF
candidates voted Tor ar enough eigiocl Tor the
constitution Fundamental laws know parties IL
would seem to me IA useless expenditure OF timo 10
argue that admitting TINS gentcman's neligibility
disqualification at the time oi casting the votes the
7th day OF November Il can DO cured by his rcsignn-
ton OF the Post 0icc. The wording OF the constltu-
ton clearly Indicates, and rcason asserts that the ds
qualification mentioned has reference 10 the time Of
election, and consequently every vote polled Tor
this postmaster might as we'll have been pollcd
Tor dead man, and his resignation not accepted by
the Postmaster Gencrni until alter election cannot
change tho result Otherwise, natural,zcd citizen
OF years standing might bo elected TO Congress
apparent violation Ol the constitution requiring seven
years citizenship. by simply omitling TO take his seat
until he would como within this rule Tho result Is,
therefore, that nine eligible candidates for Prcsidcn-
tiai eIector voted for In this State Tuesday,
November -Four OF thom, republicans nro unq ucs-
tionaby elected, and the the democratic ticket
having the highest number Of votes must be tho NTH.

The Lost Whalers.

The New Bedford Mercury" prints the
following as the opinion of one OF the most
experienced ship masters of New Bedford
regarding the possible fate of the abandoned
ships and men: "I have read the reports
Gas far as published) very carefully, and
can see no reason for alarm at all in regard
to those men that stuck by their ships. The
ships were abandoned only twenty miles
from the land, and were drifting elowly
with the pack ice to the southeast, nearing
the land every day. The heavy gales OF
September always blow from the northwest
to east northeast. and that is blowing on
the land from four to six points OF the
compass. There is no doubt in my mind
that the ships, or most OF them. will sue
ceed in getting into Smiths Bay, which Is
only about forty or fifty miles from where
they left. There the shores are lined with
drftwood, and seal, white bears, deer and
abundance of sea fowl are to be found
There, think, whales will pe plenty up to
abonr the 1st of October. The natives are
kind and hospita BILE, and will help the men
all they can. There is abundance OF pro-
vision, on board of the abandoned ships, to
last those men twelve months or more.
The only fear that have for those men Is
that they will eat their usual food Of bread
-four, salt, provisions, &c, and bring on
scurvy. They will not suffer for food cloth
ing, or lights and fires. Wood and water
are plenty. My opinion is that part of those
ships will be saved (if not this yeer, the
next) tor they will be in that part of the
Arctic that is least dis urbed by gales and
currents. No doubt som Of the officers OF
the ships are among he fifty brave men
that stopped in the Arctic, hoping to bring
their ships 10 port"
The "Mercury" s.ys, however, that there
are men OF experience who litfer materially
from these views.

should also become Christians His piety

shown themselves in his attempt to make
human sacrifice to his idols, were changed
only In their direction. He was as Jealous

directed attention to the fact that the god
was only log of wood. He had the de-
turoned idol dragged at horses heels,
whipped by soldiers and flung 1nts river,
in the presence of the people.
Having disposed of all the Russian gods
in like manner the Grand Prince advanced
to more positive measures. He ordered all
the people of his capital to assemble on the
banks of the river, and at a given signal
they all rushed inlo the river, with the chill
dren in the arms, and were thus baptized In
body.
Notwithstanding bis violent and sometimes
unchristian methods of procedure, Vladimir
was In fact sincere convert to Christianity
although his notions of religious methods
were crude, and with what light he had, he
labored earnestly for the new cause. He d.
vorced his superfuous wives and dismissed
800 concubines. He hesitated to make war
and ceased TO shed blood. He built churches,
almshouses, schools and hospitals. He en-
couraged learning introduced code of law ,
reformed the judicial system, and rapidly
advanced his people in civilization. He was
a mas Of great genius, untiring industry,
and unfagging zeal for whateyer he believed
TO be good. He was justly surnamed The
Great, and after death was popularity called
a saint.
Thus Russia was converted from pagan
into a Christian power by the will of one
man.

life, culminated in the treason OF the Hart-
ford convention. The old Democracy with
ungloved hand, throttled to its death the the
treason tainted organizations; since that
time it has fought and cast to the earth the
mighty Wig party, the best and purest OF
all its opponents, 80 complete was its victo-
ry that the name ofthe party only lives IN
political history. Native American and
Know Nothing parties rose and fell SO rap
idly that they left no evidence Of their ex-
istence. Stealing the livery OF free
men the opposition then assumed
the name Of the Peoples
party; it has gone to the bow.wows never
to be heard of again. The last and
m:ghtest ofthem all, the Republican party
arose and gathered into i's folds, every
a ON of the opposition to the dominant
Democracy. With the sword and purse
of the nation at its command, it unspar-
ingly and corrup,ly used both. 1t is now
SAID. it has no mission but to disrupt and
defeat the Democracy. Such a party can
not live as it has no vivifying national
principle to maintain life. The Dem
