Defends Col. Haskins.


Col. Haskins is to-day one Of the
highly influential members OF Congress
His appointment in the present Congress
to the important craftsmanship Of the
war claims committee Is indicative 81
the rank which he holds Perhaps The
News knows Of another member who
has been given such ali important ap-
pointment iii the fourth term Of llis
service. Certainly none 81 the other
New England representatives Of equal
length OF service with Col. Haskins have
attained to craftsmanship which ii
rated as high as that now filled BIZ the
representative Of the Second Vermont
district. The signal ability with which
Col Haskins prepared and carried
through the House the omnibus hill''
of claims for his committee has been
widely commented upon within few
weeks, such conspicuous members as
Payne, Mann and Dalzell pronouncing it
the best war claims report and bill pre-
scented within their memory, and the
Judges Of the court OF claims compli-
menting Col Haskins for the ability and
thoronghness displayed in its prepare
ton.
Col. Haskins scored signalIy for his
constituency when Secretary Dc the
Treasury Shaw withheld payment Of i
portion Of the money dine the state Of
Vermont for interest paid on its war
bonds, under the claim that The state
was indebted To the general government
for arms and ordnance stores furnished
tile state militia. Col Haskins then
engineered 60 TIA final passage tile bin
which put into the treasury az Vermont
over Sl50,OO0, besides wiping out all
claims which the government was all
legged to have against the state.
Col. HaslSins also guided to enactment
the oleomargarine bill, the live stock
quarantine bin which was Of interest to
Vermont, numerous invalid and depea-
dent pension bills, the extension OF the
free delivery, and various other nensnies
affecting Vermont interests.
Col. Haskins has not employed press
agent methods to ext0l his services. and
If the Northfield News would DO little
investigating on its own account in
Washington it would find that his SER
vices have been something more than
Of average character and that the rank
which he has attained is exceptional
for q man who entered Thu service in
1901.
The plain fact is that Representative
Haskins has reached a place Of assured
influence and usefulness III Washington,
Il place which many representatives
never attain, and which can be attained
only as the result of faithful ana con-
work, marked ability and ex-
tended experience with congressional
procedure.
To change from man in the height
OF his power and influence in Congress
to another wholly lacking in experience
IN national legislation would be the
