VERMONT.

1t is the size OF the vote in Vermont
that some observers Of tic signs Of the
time consider important, not the CONF
plexiort of it. 1t is claimed that in
years of Republican defeat the Repuh-
1ican plurality III Vermont Is consider
ably smaller than normally. During
the first Mckinley campaign the plur-
atty for the electors was more than 40,
900. The second Mckinley and the
Roosevelt years, however, the plurality
in the State was smaller, Roose-
volts plurality being only 10000, In
1884 and 1892 the plurality fell below
2h,00o. II, therefore, sc, the forecasters
said, the plurality should fall to a fig
ure close to the $4,000 mark, there would
be grounds for considering the election
uncertain, at least so far as the tone
OF the election can be foreshadowed by
one State Well, the plurality did fall
at the election the other day.
though not very close to the $4,000
mark. The successful candidate had a
plurality OF 1886. somewhat lower than
at the previous election. The element of
uncertainty in Interpretation, therefore,
appears to remain.

ELECTION METHODS COMPARED

An English gentleman. now residing
IN the United States, has favored the
American public with his views on
some of the defects of American cleo
tons In an article in the Atlantic
Monthly he states that he finds our
system neecllcssly cumbersome. because
we leave most of our politics to the
domination OF the machine" and he
complains that most of the political
documents issued during a campaign
are made to relate to men, rather than
TO issues. He believes tina, there would
be better success in choosing the right
man for the right place if we would
strive for greater simplicity in our
elections. and lay greater emphasis on
the educational method in our cam
paisns.
He illustrates his meaning by tell
ing his readers that. in Great Britain.
especial stress is laid, through state
ments on billboards and through the
public press. on the attitude of the
rival candidates toward public ques-
tions in which the people may be sup
posed directly to be interested. No
such thing, he says, as equivocation,
ragueness, or Misunderstanding is posi-
Bile in the candidates bid for the fran
cnise of the electors. Ii the candidate
has served the public before, he is
required to say just what public SER
vice he has performed, and to state
what he proposes to do IN the future.
And these statements in the press are
supplemented, in most cases, by indi
vidual letters, written and signed by
the candidate and sent to, the voters.
1t is quite possible. that we rely too
much on manipulation of votes and too
