WASHINGTON COUNTY POLITICS.

The politics situation in Washing.
ton county is beginning to be discus
sed moderately and it is probable at
this time thata comparatively tran.
quill canvass will be the result this
year
The senatorship question will lead
off and it goes without saying that
the candidates will be supporters of
the candidacy of cX-Gov. Dillingham;
for the United States senatorship.
Indeed it is not probable that any
aspirants have inclinations otherwise
than loyal to Mr.. Dillingham;.
There appears to be considerable
sentiment already throughout the
county in favor of Hon. Zed S. Stan
ton, of Roxbury, for first senator. In
Mad River valley and several towns
outside, including Mortified of
course, the inclination to support Mr..
Stanton is practically unanimous. He
is a man of considerable experience in
public life, which coupled with his
well earned reputation for sound
Judgment and earnest endeavOr to do
his whole duty, at all times, makes
him safe and desirable legislator,
who would undoubtedly WELD more
than ordinary influence in the senate.
There are said to be several aspir-
ants in Montpelier for the other sena-
torship. Among the names being
mentioned are j. A. DeBoer II. w.
Kemp and l.. Bart Cross. Undoubt-
cdly Montpelier will settle upon some
one candidate if it expects to be in
the race this year. Barre may also
present the name of Walter Morse
and it is hardly probable that city
OF this size could be barred out on the
ground that it now has the states at
torneyship-especially with all the
considerations which may enter into
the canvass. 1t is also possible that
names from other towns may appear
for the senatorship.
Following the usual custom, Judge
Edgerton will undoubtedly be given a
denomination, 1t is conceded on all
sides that he has been a most efficient
and richly deserves the place
aside from all PRECEDENT in the matter. |

Save the Bows.

On the boys of today rests the fu-
turc of this great nation. THE TELE-
GRAM heartily endorses all that has
been said in their behalf and urges
the Importance of taking active meas
ures to help them. The best means
seems to be the formation of a boys
club, or association, on lines similar to
those so successfully adopted in other
cities the size of Barre or larger.
There is a National Association work
ing to educate and save the boys from
the demoralizing influences of the
street and evil companions, and a
branch should be established here.
These associations, or boys clubs,
provide rooms for The amusement and
instruction of boys who would other
wise be upon the streets. This move
ment was started in 1887 and has been
successfully operated in many of the
large cities of the country and has
saved thousands of boys from vice and
degradation, and made them useful
citizens. One should be formed here
and we understand an effort will soon
be made in that direction. Let every
one who has the welfare of this city
aid those who are engaged in this
work. 1t will cost something, but it
is cheaper to save boys than to punish
criminals. There is no question of
more vital Importance before the peo-
pie of this city than this. Let every
one do his or her part to help on the
work of saving the boys.
