The Rutland Herald's statement that
"there is no kick against Senatorl
Proctor for reelection outside OF the
Mccullough camp is an indication
that the rumor of Clements ambition
in that direction is untounded. 1t is
well known that certain other aspiring
statesmen have their ears very close to
the ground, and our belief is that Sen
ator Proctor has more TO fear from
them than from Mr.. Clement.

The result OF the election was an

made eonservatiYely, were confirmed
twice over. Addison county legislators
voted for Mccullough with the excep-
tion of scant half dozen or less. The

the small army of friends who seem to
believe in u.s. Yergennes Enterprise.

Tor the fair and able fight it put up for
its candidates and principles, and it
undoubtedly had part in shaping re-

Among the measures that are bound
TO provoke earnest discussion in the
Vermont legislature is Mr.. McFeeters'
bill to substitute life Imprisonment for
capital punishment. This act takes
effect from its passage which means
that the two men now under the
death penalty, Shaw and Doherty,
would escape the gallows il the bill
were to become a law. Two years
ago, Mr.. McFeeters, then also mem
Der of the House, warmly advocated a
similar measure. At the same time
there was a bill before the legislature
to commute the sentence of Doher-
ty. A strong presentation of this
mans case had been made which
enlisted the sympathies of many mem
bers and had its effect on the main
issue. At the very close Of the session,
the House. after a notable debate.
passed the Doherty bill and the
Senate passed the measure abolishing
capital punishment. Then, by one Of
those curious and inexplainable tran
sitions that affect legislative bodies,
each House killed the others bill, and
both the law relating to capital pun
ishment and Doherty's sentence
were left as at the beginning. By
legal delays, Doherty has been
spared until another session has an
opportunity to consider his case, as
well as the whole subject at issue.
