The Next Governor.

While there seems to be a qllictness
among the managers and manipula

Vermont s next governor, yet there
is unmistakeable evidence as well as d
growing feeling among all classes

to incline toward and seek unattended
and absolutely independent of the u.s.

COMMITTEE ORDERS
PRIMARY ELECTION
For Mayor, Three Aldermen and City
Clerk.
SHORT CAMPAIGN rs PROMISED.
Executive Committee Met Yesterday
and Fixed Date on Thursday, 22nd
Inst. Only Democrats of Pronounc-
ed Faith Can Vote.

Thursday, Nov. 22nd, is the date
fixed by the city Democratic Execu-
tive Committee for the primary cleo
ton for the nomination of mayor,
clerk and treasurer and aldermen.
Three members of the committee,
constituting a quorum, met yesterday
for this purpose. These were Messfs.
Arthur Rylander, B. Fl. Jossey and F.
G. Oliver. The absentees, who are
now non-residents of Americas, were
Messrs. j. M. Pagan and John Fl. Nc
Kenzie.
Thursday, Nov. 22nd, was the date
fixed for the primary election.
This, in the opinion of the commit
tee, will afford ample time for a cam
paign, being nearly two and half
weeks.
However, the campaign has been
really going on for some time already,
as three of the candidates for mayor
announced some time ago, while some
of the unannounced aldermanic candi-
dates have been putting in lot of
quiet work for quite while.
Now all can come out IN the open
and go to work in earnest.
With four candidates in the fl, Iii for
mayor, aud fully as many more for al
dermen, the race is going to be lively.
Clerk Davis is the only one playing
lone hand.
The primary on 22nd inst. will be
held under the same rules governing
former primaries. ALI qualified DEM
ocrats, including the very few negroes
who have steadfastIy voted this ticket,
will be entitled to vote in the primary
for mayor. aldermen and city clerk.
This rule and the same conditions
obtained in the primary two years ago.
