The earliest calls for a secret ballot, how
ever, came from the Democrats, and they
have the honor of introducing the first bill to

one all ready, embodying the main features
Of that 10 force in Massachusetts, with some
ideas taken from what was known as the
Sexton bill In New York, and promptly in
troduced 1t In the house. The Republicans
regarded this as rather move toward steal

adopted resolution IN the senate directing a
committee to report measure of the kind.
Providence smiled upon them. for Mr.. Mar

with no provision for dumb men, and, of
course this would invalidate the whole meas.
ure.
The bill might be amended, but 1t Is more
likely that 1t wilI be strangled and a new one
introduced by the Republicans. 1t Is fact
that party prejudice Is so str00g In the Ver-
mont Legislature that bill introduced by a
Democrat never stands fair chance, but on
this year the Democrats have not only great
err numbers than ever before, but better aver
age ability than the Republicans. but are
making the most OF their opportunities.
They have SO far introduced nearly all the
important bills, while the Republicans have
devoted considerable time to such matters as
free newspapers and adjourninents over Sat.
urday.
