THE SIMPLE QUESTION.

The problem before the voters of this
congressional district is one of the SIM
plest imaginable, and yet its proper solu-
ton is of the utmost Importance to the
people of the whole State and of the
whole United States, as well as to the
district itself. 1t is fitting, therefore.
that the issue of the campaign be stated
again, and at some length, in order that
the voters may have the materials upon
which to reason out their own conclu-
sions. The people of Addison county do
not need to be told what to do in a matter
of this character. If they are not mis-
informed as to the facts involved, or
mislead by inconsequential side issues,
they may be trusted to do the right thing
every time.
The question they have to decide now,
and the only question, is whether, all
things considered. Judge Powers or Mr.
Batchelder will best represent them in
the national House of Representatives.
Certain duties are to be performed by
the member of Congress elected this
fall, and that he may successfully per
form them he must have certain char
acter and certain attainments. First of
all, he should be above the suspicion of
dishonesty or of shuffling. The interests
which seek help from Congress, and
those which endeavor to keep out of the
reach of just legislation, the enactment
of which the welfare of the country i'm
peratively demands, are in our day rich
and powerful, and no man of weak or
doubtful quality can safely be trusted to
deal with them. He should be man of
the world, accustomed to coping with
men and with large matters of public
concern. lie should have as good pres
ence as may be, and the more forcibly
and pointedly he can talk the better
These are some of the main qualifications
of Representative, but not all of them
Vermont at this period cannot afford to
elect as congressman one who does not
come up to the mark. Her pre-eminence
in national councils for more than fifty
years and her high standing among
her greater sister States today have come
from her habit of sending to Washington
men of the highest character and keenes
intellects-men whom she wanted there
not those whose chief merit was a desire
to go. And if she is to retain her ranl
and to WELD in the future as in the
past an influence upon the affairs o.
the nation altogether out of proportion
to her area, population and commercial
importance, we of these days must follow
the policy of the fathers.
So much will be universally admitted
Assuming that the premises laid dowl
are sound, the query once more forces it
self upon the attention, Does Judg
Powers or Mr.. Batchelder more nearl,
fulfill the requirements?
There may be those who are not ia
miliar with the careers of these men, am
for the benefit of such this official state
ment is reproduced from the legislativ
directory of 1884. The record is just a
good for this year, for Mr. Batchelde
