Smallest Voting List.

Does anybody know what town has
the smallest voting list of any in the
United States? 1t is Glastonbury, a
picturesque little place among the hills
of Vermont. Its present population,
which is the largest it has ever had,
and of which it is most proud. is only
PAL.
At the Presidential election IN 1897
only six votes were cast, five Demo
cratic and one Republican. Yet, IN
spite of its small voting list, 1t always
sends its representative to the General
Assembly. It has no postofice, and
one of it's most prominent townsmer
holds no less than seven different
Offices. Tho town has often sent
State Senator from its people, ane
more than once County Judge ha'
been chosen from Glastonbury. New

show that thosv,.scn were the logical results
of such crises The negative speakers contended
that great men. instead o; being produced by
great crises, either themselves produced the
crises or merely ued them as stopping ftonos
20 their greatness; that great men were born
not made bv cvonts, but that events served
only as balance IN which 20 weigh thorn.
They also argued ttat IL great crises could
