vermonts Political Cyclone

The prohihitory law is doomed
There can be no question a. to the vii
of majority of the people. They arr
tired, not so much Of the law itselt
as of its continued non enforcement.
So it was in Maine until the lamenteC
Pearson showed that the law could bt
honestly and effectively enforced.
Nothing has operated more damaging
ly against the prohibitory law, as We
have always claimed, than for prohibi-
tloniSts to assume that the law was en-
forced. when every intelligent and I'm
preiudiced observer knew it was not.
The people are tired of the shams. the
hypocrisies, the political methods con
nected with the pretended enforce
ment of the law. We shall not be sur
prised if the law is repealed without
the formality of referendum.
The people of Vermont have become
wearied of machine politics. = So
large and steady has been the Repub-
lican majority that to secure a nomin-
alton was equivalent to an election.
That leads to a very demoralizing po-
htical condition anywhere. and it has
proved so in Vermont. When any par
" can poll a majority of nearly 3 to /.
as the Republican party has been ac-
cuStomed to do in that state, machine
methods in caucus and convention. of
the worst type. are likely to find place.
This phenomenal political cyclone is
likely to clear the air and compel more
honest preliminary methods. Zion :

one citizen. Nor can the Legislature
be allowed to shirk the responsibility
of deciding upon the laws which
should be made. For these reasons II
is held that the law-making body has
no power in enacting a general law,
applicable TO all the people of the
state. to make its taking effect condl
tional upon the casting of popular
vote in its favor. y
If the state of Vermont has a license
local option law, it will be by the di-
rect, positive action Of our Legislature,
never by the vote of the freemen upon
a measure conditionally admitted to
them by the legislature. Such meas
ure as is proposed by the two wings OF
the Republican party will, undoubted-
ly, be declared unconstitutional by our
supreme court. 1t is not the time for
the exercise of craft or cunning. The
people have voted upon this question
at the polls on September I'd, and eX-
pressed wish to have the present pro-
hibitory law repealed

disadvantage are the spirit of partisan
ship, which will be most strenuously
invoked, and the intinitude of bargain
ings and combinations which the sit.
uation invites and which may land re-
suits. all along the line, nobody can
guess where. If trades decide the
speakership, Porter will be defeated
because he will not trade but will stand
simply on his merits and the principles
he represents.
Not only DR.. Conland of Brattleboro,
but also Mr.. Bundy of st, Johnsbury
and Rev. FIR. O'Sullivan of ST Adams,
who have also been favorably men
toned as Democratic candidate for
speaker, both, as the RefTmer is au-
thorized to say. ask not to be consid-
cred in that connection and both de-
clare themselves strongly in favor of
Mr., Porter as not only the man for this
year but as fitted to make one Of the
best speakers the state ever had.
The Democrats of the legislature are
sure to be unit in support of Mr. Por-
ter. So ought to be, and probably will
be. the Clement element. The only
question remaining is whether out of
30 or more other members elected and
classified as Local Option Repub
lican" there will prove TO be as many
a. 20 who cannot be cajoled into vot-
ing for some candidate who doesn't be-
leve in local option at all, who only
yields towards it under the pressure of
this years political situation and who
will organize the committees and the
legislative machinery against it-or
whether there will be that number
who will stand up, on the first firing
line, and support a man that they
know will do everything he can in
fairness and honor. with the aid of
marked ability. forceful personality
md long experience, for the cause they
profess to believe in.
Back of that, of course, is the ques
ion how much cash and dicker are 90 .

Mr.. Porter's Prospects.

The candidacy of +. H. Porter of
Wilmington for the speakership of the
lower House of the coming legislature
is developing very great strength all
over the state. The extracts from the
state press elsewhere show a practical
ly unanimous agreement from all par
ties that be is the best equipped and
best qualified of all the candidates
mentioned, and the wall and exhorta-
tion of the Burlington Free Press only
voices fear that he will be elected.
