Politics.
From the Burlington News.)
The Reformer closely approximates
the truth. The News has said thous-
and times, more or less, and now re-
peats it. that the State would get far
better service and it would he great
benefit in every respect, were the two
great political parties more nearly
equal in Vermont. The gush about
"the star that never sets" and all
that sort of thing serves good pur
pose in campaign oratory, but, from
a practical point of view, the exces-
sive preponderance of any one party is
a bad thing for any State.
We may add, too, that, small as
the Democratic party of Vermont is,
it is deprived of its just repr esenta-
tion in our state government by our
system of representation, which is in
effect an outrageous gerrymander, de-
priving the minority of the rights to
which every American citizen is en-
titled.
Give us district representation in
house and senate. That's one of the
first steps toward reform.
