\ MUCH NEEDED REFORM.

In speaking of the manner in which re
cent Legislatures have revised the find
ings OF the courts in correction with muir
der cases, the esteemed Erattleboro phoc-
nix says,
There is no such thing as "daro rot"
for n Vermont Legislature in Il matter
like this, whom 4 false scutimrntalitV has
once got in his work Tho treatment of
Frank Shavs case hy the Logislaturo Of
1919 proves This. Tho only condition on
which the death penalty ought oyer to
be abroGatod in Vermont is that the pow
a. Of cummutatloH or pardon be at the
same time taken away from tho L"glsld-
lure and tn governor absolutely, with
the farther provision that inter Il mur-
dorer has been tried, convicted and son
fenced and his sentence approved hv the
suprem" court. the only power or re-
course or reconsideration shall lie with
tho supreme court. ANA then only h"Cause

ENDORSEMENT or SEN. PROCTOR.

The action of tho republicans Of Chit
tendon county in declaring United States
Senator Redncld Proctor to be can
cminently worthy successor OF Footc,
Collamer. Morrill, and Edmunds," IN the
words OF Ex-Governor John ]" Barstow.
and requesting tho State senators nom
mated in convention ito use their best
efforts to secure his reelection to the
United States Senate" is rendered all
the more significant by the fact that there
has been no sign of opposition to call
out any concerted action of this charac-
ter.
Recognizing the practically unanimous
sentiment of the people in favor Of FER
mont's continued enjoyment Of the d's-
tinguished services of Senator Proctor
in the upper branch of Congress, all Of
the opposing candidates for the state
Senate had fot constrained to make ii
known they were for his re-electoN. SO
he would have received their support in
any event. The resolution was hand
some expression In a few words Of the
sentiment which prevails in relation &c
the onviahlc petition held by Senator
Proctor. and as such it can not fail t.
he apprc ciatcd by our senior United States
senator.
While our people delight to honor Sen
ator Proctor. however, We should not sool

HEARST SENTIMENT IN VERMONT.

While the democratic split in Rutland
resulting in the election of contcstinS
delegations to tho state convention was
the outgrowth of local rivalry. it has
served nevertheless to emphasize the
in favor of the presidential candidacy
Of William Randolph Hearst, II oppor-
tunity is afforded for free expression Of
the same. T. w. Malonev in speaking for
the hloloney- Hanrahan faction, which
t favored the election of DIR. H1nrahan
for delegate to the ST. Louis convention.
fclt constrained in his speech to saw that
tho delegation elected ~ the state con-
vention to he held in burlington included
both Hearst and Parker mon.
! The McManus- Browne faction after the
withdrawal Of the boiling faction doptcd
| this resolution:
Resolved, That We recognize MIR.
| Hearst as one Of tho ablest and most fear
less living opponents OF the prime piles
enumerated by the immortal Thomas lief
| forson. and the inveterate enemy of
trusts and organized greed, and one Of
the most sterling champions of the cause
of the toins masses of the American
people as against the Entertainments of
tho privileged classes. which are proving
an abomination to good government"
And the delegates elected were instruct
ed to use every honorable means 10 secure
the election of delegates to the St i.oui:
convention favorable to the candidacy OF
Mr.. Hearst for the presidency.

ocracy declaring unoquivocally for the
selection of Vermont delegates to III,

faction constrained to admit that there
are Hearst mon on the delegation TO tn

TO argue that there must be strong son
timent in the Marble City in favor of tn
nomination OF the New York newspape
man for the presidency.
While the Burlington democracy did no
declare for Hearst there are promncn
individual democrats who do not hestItat
to speak Of the debt which the part
owes Hearst for his services in behal
of the people whatever foundation thor
may be for the assertion.
