cation, the so'called apathy which al.
ways prccedes a political campaign in
Vermont has been cilectually dissipated
again, as usual and Vermont seems TO
be alive to the issues OF the election
which comes tomorrow. Vermonters are
VIGOROUSLY slow TO become worked UP
60 a pitch OF enthusiasmi in fact, they
rarely do get as wildly enthusiastic over
politics as our Western people do. Taey
do not think out loud, but come 20 their
conclusions in quiet manner, having
weighed the balances pretty thoroughly.
So the present campaign has been but a
repetition Of former campaigns, charac'
terized by apparent indifference, little
noise and less hullabaloo, but with the
people thinking all the time. And now,
with their thinking accelerated by the
information set at their disposal by the
leaders Of the political parties, they are
prepared to vote tomorrow as an intelli.
gent electorate, not driven TO the polls
in droycs at the snap Of the bosses
whips, but going as individual citizens.
