The wisdom and virtue" of Yer
mont have assembled, and we be-
lieve the quality of the two houses
will average with former years. We
think. however, the House is want
ing in prominent leading members,
and unless new men develop leading
characteristics, it will have fewer
ambitious leaders than usual, and
that this will be a good year for the
average member. The House, has
not yet got far on its way, but there
seems to be determination on the
part of the members to go to work
and get through early; and there Is
no reason why they should not &C
,complish this. There are, however
many important matters to be dealt
with, which will excite considerable
discussion and interest, on which We
shall endeavor, from time to time
to keep our readers as we'll posted as
our distance from the scene Of ac
ton will permit.

the candle " and so on for three
fourths of an hour, as it seems to me
now, before was ready to go. l
should hardly expect to find a par
allel of this in this day and State,
but the spirit of it still fingers, and
is the seat of the opposition to the
wiping out of the district system,
which is so we'll described by our
National Commissioner of Educa-
ton, as follows:
"Small schools, short terms, mea-
gre salaries, cheap teachers, inces-
SAINT changes, multiplicity of incOm-
plete and irresponsible officers, in
struction devoid of spirit, and lack
ing the necessary conditions of
steady progress.
The House adjourned on Friday
morning till Monday at O'Clock p.
m, which of course means Tuesday
morning, to give the Speaker time
to make up his committees. Were
/ Speaker, l would on the day OF
my election call on the several coun'
ties to name one man each to act as
a committee with me, and / would
proceed on the same night to make
the committees and give them to the
House the next morning and so end
the agony, thus saving the four OIL
five days of almost intolerable but
ton holing and boring to which thu
Speaker is now subjected, and tn,
valuable time now thrown away.
The Speakership was decided OF
the first ballot. Major Grout had ;
strong following, enough, if tn,
Democrats had held to their man t.
have prevented an election, but HI
had no appetite for a fight, hat
much rather bide his time, so il
a neat and graceful speech, alto
gether the best of the occasion, h
withdrew from the contest and sec
onded the nomination of Batchelder
S. N. o. II.

THE UNATTACHED VOTE.

The vote cast outside the regular
political parties in Presidential cleo,
,tions has exerted a very remarkable
influence on results. In a few in
stances it has secured the election
of the candidate having only a mi,
nority of the total vote. Thus Polk
in 1914, would have been defeated
on the popular vote but for the Lib,
,erty party, which polled only $4,000
,votes-enough to give a popular
majority over Polk of 24,125. In
1913 Taylor was in a popular minor
,ity of 1906, but the Free Soil
party divided the Democratic vote
and permitted his election. In 1866,
when Buchanan was elected, the
popular majority against him was
.377,629; but Fillmore drew off from
Fremont 874,534 votes, and secured
the electoral vote of one State. In
1860 this again turned to the bene-
fit of the Republicans, Lincoln be-
ing in popular minority of 935, 149.
There were three Democratic tick
cts in the feld-regular, independ-
ent and Union.
In the three following elections
the Republicans had clear MAORI
ties-in two of them there were no
side parties. In 1876 there has been
dispute as to the correctness of the
returns. There were, however,
greenback and prohibition candi-
dates, but they only polled about
10000 votes. In 1880, however,
Garfield was elected by popular
minority, the grecnback candidate
reosiving 300 votes, and Gar
field being in popular minority o.
270,2Ss. This year the outside par
ties are scattered along the lines of
both parties. The Democrats will
be drawn on by Butler and the Re.
publicans by St. John. Whoever is
elected will probably receive a mi
nority of the entire popular vote
But the electoral vote finally elects

peace or war is to rule in the Dem
.ocratic councils of New York. 1t
is an interesting affair. John Kelly
has managed to dominate the De-
mocracy of New York, and evident
Iy proposes to continue in that role.
Whether he will succeed remains to
be seen; but the prospect is that he
will.

.TAMMANY'S INDEPENDENCE.

The action of Tammany Hall in
aaminating local ticket of its own
without consulting Irving Hall and
the other parts of the Democratic
organization in New York is regard
ed as arcbrand in the party. The
formal commitment to the national
ticket is regarded as mere pretense
with no real purpose at the back of
it. In brief, it is considered flank
movement against the Democracy.
For if it leads to hostility it will in
evitably defeat the national ticket
in the city. Tammany's attitude is

AN OPEN LETTER
To The Citizens of Island Pond
and Vicinity.

Presidential year, and with il
comes the chronic cry of hard
times, the natural result Of the
mind over-burdened with pei
itics. Facts and figures prove
that the cry OF hard times is
more In imagination than in
reality. Never since engag-
ed in the dry goods business
have / been able to sell nearly
as many goods as in the pres
ent season. Last year ! en-
larged my store, and my in
creasing business demands
more room, and now am COM
PEELED to remodel my store to
utilize the basement. This is
all the legitimate outcome Of
my being able to sell goods
low enough to meet the de.
maud of those that imagine
that we live in an age of hard
times, and the many know the
cry of hard times to be all a
deluSion, and take advantage
and buy right here at hard
time prices. Experience is O
great educator and people are
learning by experience where
TO get the most goods for their
money. / distribute prizes g.
qually among my customers,
by giving my customers more
goods for their money than can
be purchased elsewhere for the
same money. By this means
each purchaser draws a prize
equally in keeping with the
amount of goods purchased
pro rata. Space forbids emu
Inerating my large stock, or
giving prices. NV large sales
room is full of goods in keeping
with the season, and receiving
fresh arrivals every week u
large line of desirable dress
fiannels just received. The
largest and most complete line
of Boots and Shoes that can
be found in town, and stacks
of Clothing. Hats and Caps
and Furnishing Goods that l
am selling at bed rock prices.
My large mercantile experience
furnishes me with facilities for
buying goods at bottom prices
second to no one. My expenses
are small, and my outside bus
mess is large enough to pay
all running expenses. | sim
ply refer to these items to show
you how l am able to sell
goods cheaper than my com.
petitors. will not be under
sold in any of the lines of goods
that | sell. All the favor | ask
ofmv many customers and 9TH
ers is simply this: Compare
goods and prices, and if you
find my assertion true you will
be likely to buy where you are
sure you can save money. l
will he your friend as long as
you have cash and when your
cash is all gone I will be your
friend and stand by you as
long as you have Wool. Tai
low, Sheep Pelts, Furs, Dried
Berries, and produce to ex-
change for goods, and when
this is all gone | will be your
friend and stand by you as
long as you are honest and pay
your bills, and if misfortunes'
overtake you. and you have
done the best you can, and
cannot pay your bills, l will
he your friend stills-and this
is when we need a friend.
