Humanity's Larger, Clearer View.



The same beautiful tribute that has
been paid 10 Father Cunningham as
the head Of his church in Brattleboro
can to-day be said of the reverend
fathers Of the Catholic church in not
only Brattleboro but in this and 9TH
er communities as well. They are
not so much better but there is a
difference IN their goodness. They
are larger minded. more tolerant and
there Is more of that there ISL room
for-all-feeling than there was in for
mer times. ON the other hand Prot
estants have grown as well and they
to-day see things through larger
glasses and with less distorted vision
than was the case in years gone by.
The result is less friction and more

c. Fits at the recent republican
caucus in Brattleboro?
At the beginning of the caucus an
opponent of Mr.. Fits moved that
the nomination be by majority
vote. This motion was declared de-
feated by the chairman in spite of
protests and cries for n ballot. The
nomination was made by a plurality
vote, and Mr.. Fits received 37S votes
To 5S1 against him. 1t is ridiculous to
say that 37S out of nearly one thou
sand republicans who attended the
caucus should be able to dictate the
choice of a representative for the
town of Brattleboro. No one who
is acquainted with the situation can
deny that the adoption of a majority
rule would have resulted In the de-
feat of Mr.. Fits at the caucus. The |
decision of the chairman and the re-
suit of the first ballot practically pro-
libted those 5S1 voters from any |
,hoice in the election, although many

I ON the whole we are inclined to

One point suggested by Editor

this section where democrats and in
dependents followed Clement two
years ago with so much enthusiasm.
They have always justified themselves
on the ground that we should never
have had the license law but for Mr..
Clement. If the law was worth get
ting it is worth keeping and to keep
it Mr.. Clement, Mr.. Agan and other
leaders of the bolt of two years ago,
