The Municipal Elections.

In the municipal elections, the dem
ocrats retained control of the Burling-
ton city government; Mayor James
Burke was reelected for the fourth
term, his majority over his republican
opponent, w. H. Bigelow, being l4l.
The complexion of the board of alder
men is the same as last year, there be-
ing five democrats and five republi-
cans, but the mayor sits with the city
council, which appoints all city ofii-
GERS. In St. Albans, the republicans.
after a hard-fought battle, won every
thing in sight. re-electing Mayor H. Ell
mer Wheeler over G. w. Butterworth.
the democratic candidate, board of
aldermen solidly republican, every can
didate on the city ticket and school
commissioners in every ward where
there was a contest
Charles +. Paige, republican candi-
date, was elected mayor of Rutland by
a plurality of 532 votes. He received
1854 votes. Mayorelect Paige S clos
est rival was Alonzo B. Grant, the In
dependent labor party's candidate,
who received 522 votes. George G.
Underhill, who ran on the citizens
ticket, polled 455 votes. David W..
Temple, democratic candidate, finished
with 263 votes to his credit.
James S. Haley was elected mayor
at Montpelier, Harvey Ketcham was
reelected at Vergennes, and Mayor
Barclay at Barre. In Middlebury, the
town voted to close seven miles of the
highway from Middlebury to Bread
Loaf Inn, Ripton, to automobiles.

Not Altogether commsndable.

Judge Hoyt H. Wheeler may be justified
in his Interpretation of the rights of the
individual citizen under the Australian bal
lot law, but it is open to question whether
he is setting a very good example by public
ly and altogether needlessly defying the plain
letter of the statute before the right he
claims has been adiudicated by the courts.
There is also a very natural Curiosity to
know just what right of citizenship the Judge
seeks to defend and preserve by sticking out
year after year as he does that he will not
mark his ballot in a booth. Nobody else
appears to consider that his rights are be-
ing infringed by enforced secrecy of the
ballot and it would be impossible to repeal
the law today or to get even corporal S
guard of vote against it.-St. Albans Mes
senger.
