Election of state officers in Vermont
ought to be by plurality, and settled
definitely at the polls. The legisla-
ture is not representative OF the
people. and no adequate reason can be
given for turning the state election
over to it. suppose Clement, who is
in the minority at the polls. should be
able. by some combination or schem-
ing. to secure the election in the
assembly, or suppose that Clement had
led Mccullough as much as McCul-
Tough now leads Clement, but owing
to the Bennington mans strength in
the small towns be should win out in
the legislature. In either case. we
should have a minority governor,

past. Most states elect by plurality.

What the Result Signifies.

Whatever opinion any individual
may hold with reference to the best
manner of restricting the traffic in in
toxicating liquor, it would be worse
than idle to attempt to misinterpret
the figures measuring the result of
Tuesdays election, or to belittle their
significance. While other minor is
sues probably entered to "a greater or
less degree as factors into the contest,
the result tends to show that consid-
cradle portion OF the people are OPP
posed to existing legislation in relation
10 the sale of intoxicating liquor.
There are a few prohibitionists in the
Democratic party, and possibly a small
number OF voters were led to support
Clement under the belief that he could
In some mysterious way effect a ma
terial reduction in our state expenses.
Speaking in general terms, however
the combined McGettrick and Clement
vote can safely be put down as oppos-
ed to the prohibitory law as it stands.

Clements wonderful Achievement

Whatever may be the future Of Per-
cival w. Clement, he has done 4 gi-
ants work In this campaign. lie has
single-handed-that is, without the as
sistance Of any political party-organ-
lied and carried through a fight on the
local option issue that will pass into
history as among the greatest political
battles ever fought in this or any other
state. Against what appeared ut first
to be considerable personal unpopu-
larity against the organized and de
termined opposition Of two great polit-
ical parties; against a strong and we'll
organized campaign conducted by the
ablest state and national politicians /;
against a full money ehest-against all
these and in face OF all the power of
every prohibitionist. male and female,
in the state. Percival ". Clement OF
Rutland plucks from this ultra-conser-
vative old commonwealth nearly half
the votes Of its citizens. throws the old
party into a panic. and sends the
choice Of governor into the House of
Representatives wholly wipine
out Republican majority Of thirty
thousand. Whatever may be the indi-
vidual opinion or feeling as to the act
itself, 1t must be sal bv all that the

stood for nothing positive, ana whose
attitude on the question remains tol
this day unknown. Vermonters like a
fighter, and such Clement is. In this
campaign he has developed strength
among the people that few men of the
state have ever enjoyed. He had the con-
fidence of his followers, who knew that
with him in the governors chair there
would be no half-heartedness in the d.
reetion of more liberal liquor legisla-
ton. And they wanted to see him re-
warded for his hard toll in the cause
he had espoused.
Still another influence that tended to
swell the ranks of the disaffeeted was
the disgust felt for ring politics. IL
was apparent to many that that vague
something known as 1.-THE ring was
on the side of Mccullough. Practical
" all the leaders in state, county and
town politics, the men who commonly
run things, were for the regular ticket.
But it is not so easy to parcel out the
fat things and deliver the goods as III
was once. Voters are becoming inter
ested more and more each year, and
are constantly on the watch 10 break
up all states and combinations. The
Clement movement gave them good
opportunity. which in many cases was
improved, to down the reputed leaders.
Among other causes Tor the falling
of in the Republican vote might be
mentioned the weakness of McCul-
Tough personally as a candidate. Es-
Unable man that he is, he did not
show the marked ability before the
people in this campaign that was
ascribed to him. His speeches were
short and lacking in force. He worked
as hard as his advanced years would
permit. and doubtless shortened his
days by his strenuous efforts to win.
He aroused little enthusiasm as a pub
nc speaker The taint Of his pre-eon-
vention canvass followed him to the
end. By far the most effective work
for the ticket was done by Senator
Dillingham;, with Martin, Haskins,
Plumley, Archibald and others some
distance ahead of the candidate him.

JAPANESE ART NATIONAL
Painters See Objects Alive and Rep
! resent Them In Action.

Tuesday evening a large audience was pres
ent at the lecture by DR.. Edward Buckley
of Chicago on Fine and Decorative Art OF
Japan" at the Unitarian church. The lecture
was by invitation, given by the Arts and
Crafts society and the Art History club to
their members and friends. DR.. Buckley
pointed out as among the traits which con-
tributed to the strength of Japanese art It's
national character that arose from the adapta-
ton to art purposes Of the natural forms Of
the country. The race has highly developed
perceptive powers and, seeing all objects
alive. life and action is represented with
great spontaneity, grace and freedom.
The custom of writing as well as painting
with the brush from right to left, which gives
complete freedom of motion to the whole
arm, has resulted in the cultivation of a
firm but flexible line with great power OF eX-
preston Only the essential points are rep
resented but they are shown SO skillfully that
they suggest the whole and details are not
missed The defects Of Japanese art are the
absence of linear perspective, light and shade
and knowledge Of anatomy.
The talk was illustrated With lantern slides,
speciments of the landscape art and of birds
ana plant painting, in which the Japanese
excel Illustrations Of applied art were also
shown.
