When the Vermont democracy became
engulfed In the private chaos of the little
coterie OF Montpelier Bryanists Uncle
Bill Wall OF Randolph stepped down and
out and identified himself squarely with
the Republican party. Mr.. Wall recog-
nized the fact that there was no use or
sense In parading with the handful of
soreheads calling themselves "gold Demo-
Gratis" In fact, there is no such thing as
a gold Democrat. The IS to l people are
Democrats, all opposed are Repu blicaDF.
The result OF Mr.. Wallis escape Is that i
gives his fellow townsmen the opportuni-
ty that they have been aching for for
years, and be is pretty certain to be nom
mated and elected as the Republican cam
didate for town representative. Good
enough - Burlington Clipper.
