March live had our coolest day
last Friday when it was &C below zero
and the snow was very hard for haul
ing logs 10 the mills.
Quite delegation assembled here
recently from Stanstead Plain, Derby
Line and other towns with the idea OF
running railroad from Stanstead to
Canaan, acrots the town OF Norton.
All were heartily in favor Of the pros
ject, but capital to build it is wanted.
Our town meeting passed of quietly,
but not as the people expected, for the
party with power stepped in and con-
trolled the voters. Poor iarIuers when
they owe n man money have 10 vote
about Us they are told. 1t is to be
hoped that ballot reform will soon
strike Vermont. Ii seems too bad that
n party eau get up ticket so large
that the Moderator has TO use pencil
to force them into the ballot box. OF
course 1t is not unlawful to have such
larg. tickets, but for a man to cotue
from Massachusetts,, go and gee the
poor farmers, and fellow them in to
our little meeting house and see If they
put the large ticket in the ballot box
We will not call 1t buldozing, but it
looks very much like coercion. Let US
hope that our next Legislature will
provide remedy for such condition
OF things.
