IN A GENERAL A

Vermont elects this year a full set
of state officers, members of Congress
and a general assembly which will
choose a United States senator for a
term of six years, the same being the
seat now held by Hon. William p.
Dillingham;, who was elected in 1900
to fill out the unexpired portion of the
term of Hon. Justin S. Morrill,, de-
ceased.
As to the three seats in Congress,
nothing has yet definitely developed
indicating a contest Tor any of them.
The natural course would be to return
the present incumbents, all of whom
are serving their first terms, thus Civ
ing them a generous opportunity to
prove their title to the places they
hold. However, it is yet early, and
quite possible that other aspirants for
these places may appear before con
yention time, or the converting of the
next assembly.
As TO the state offices, quite different
conditions are known to exist. 1t is
well understood that there is to be a
general shakeup in them this year.
Vermont always elects a new governor
and acknowledgement, but the re-
naming offices are commonly held
continuously, for two or more terms.
-Four years ago, a clean sweep was
made from top to bottom. This year,
il is taken for granted that the present
secretary of state and state auditor
will in due season decline to be con-
sidered for denomination. The pres
ent state treasurer, Hon. John l..
Bacon, will doubtless accept the re-
newal OF his lease in office, which will
be rendered without opposition.
The candidates Tor the goyernorship
now actually entered are Gen. John G..
Mccullough OF Bennington and Col.
W. Seward Webb of Shelburne. There
has been talk of the possibility Of a
third candidate, and Hon. Fletcher ID.
Proctor OF Proctor has been mentioned
IN this connection. Though Mr.. Proc
tor would command a most substantial
and enthusiastic support, it is under
stood that he has determined not TO
enter the field this year. His return
to the House and his election as
speaker OF that body next IAN are DO
litical probabilities amounting almost
70 c~ertainty.
For acknowledgement at least halt
q dozen prominent Republicans have
been suggested number Of them
without any authority whatever. At
present writing. it looks like a TRAN
gnlar contest between Hon. Zed s.

all classes OF our peoplC III
that will convey a knowledge OF then
capacities, conditions and needs. A
candidate should have his citizenship
so firmly established that no reason
able person can question it. There
should not be room for the suspicion
that he claims citizenship largely foi
the purpose Of enjoying office that his
capacities would not command in
another and larger state. Vermont
will not be used to nurse political
sproutlets that would languish in theil
native soil. Vermont has no unrea'
sonable prejudice against Uitlanders.
She simply demands that before they
claim Office they shall convince hel
people that they are OF them, as vel
as among them.
What bearing should the possession
of wealth have on the goyernorshipg
Wealth, in itself, should not have
any bearing whatsoever in politics.
Wealth, as a measure Of the posses
sor's business capacity, shonld and
does have importance. Wealth, in
itself, should neither be a qualification
for, nor a bar to, office. If it has been
gained honestly and in a way to dem
o~nstrate the possession OF qualities by
the candidate hat are also valuable
qualities in a governor, this record
should be a recommend to the office.
No one, we imagine, will take issue
over this. A modified form of the last
question is perhaps more to the point.
If a man, having immense wealth, in
vests it in Vermont enterprises, does
this place the state under an obliga-
ton toward him that can best be dis
charged by electing him governor ?
Our answer to this is the usual Yankee
answer-another question. Suppose
the state OF Vermont should receive a
formal proposition from some we'll
known capitalist, offering to come to
this state and gain a legal residence
therein, and to invest say five million
dollars in manufacturing, providing
that the state would elect him gov
ernor, would it be best for the state to
accept? Not all the answers to this
question will be one way. And the
great majority would say that while
the investment would tend to incline
popular favor toward the maker of
such a proposition, the actual test
would be, What OF the man himself2
Is he n whom Vermont would care
to honor2 The possession of wealth,
even the disposition to use it gener-
ously and for the public welfare, should
not be the determining factor. What
q man is, and not what he has, should
be the first consideration. Otherwise.
what hope would a worthy poor man
have against a less worthy man Of
wealth?
Let us quote, in closing, from the
Vermont declaration Of rights "a doc
1ment, by the way, that should be
more familiar than it is in this day
Frequent recurrence to fundamen-
tai principles, and a firm adherence to
moderation, temperance, in

necessary to preserve the blessings of

EDITORIAL NOTES.

To think that Martin F. Allen should
at this iuncture be a member of the
state board of prison commissioners!
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1902-01-16

We are pleased to note that nearly
all the comment in the Vermont press
concerning the announcement Of this
paper last week relating to the publ
cation of political articles and the sale
of extra copies for political circulation
has been of a favorable nature. Pub-
fishers know the facts and appreciate
the conditions even better than others.
The Rutland Herald, which has been
particularly interested in this theme,
commends the step, but asks why we
do not publish political communica-
tons without charge. We have given
that matter consideration. While in
some instances it might be best to
publish such communications free yet
to do this and refuse others would
provoke trouble at once. We do not
believe it is a part of our duty to pro-
mote candidates. in which we are not
interested, or even those to which we
give editorial support, beyond u
own judgment in the matter, unless
we are compensated for the service.
If our terms are not satisfactory, the
parties interested can take other
methods Of reaching the voters. 1t is,
we admit, a new departure in Yer
mont, but quite a common and very
successful practice in other states.

Washington, April The plan Of
building war ships in government

Committee on Naval Affairs today.

tives being present in support of 1t.
The delegation included James O'Con-
nell, president of the Machinists' AS.
socatlon and several ship-building
experts from Norfolk, Brooklyn and
other points having government yards.
Mr.. O'Connell made the main presenta-
ton, urging that the government had
millions invested in plants which should
be used for construction as well as re-
pair Of war ships. When Representa-
tive Dayton suggested that Admiral
Bowles. chief of the naval bureau Of
construction had said that he would
not recommend the building of ships
in government yards unless the navy

private yards, Mr.. O'Connell said the
ideNof lower wages could not have been
made seriously at n time when the

labor interests would be much bene-
