Situation in Burlington md Vicinity.

Newport, Aug. sOChairrnan Williams Is
back at republican headquarters after
attending the meeting of town commit
teemen Of Chittenden and Grand Isle
counties and other citizens, held in Bur-
lngton Wednesday.
1.-The meeting" said Mr.. Williams.
twas a gratifying surprise to me. The
attendance war larger than expected and
! was much pleased to see SO many
Burlington republicans Join with the
committeeman at the gathering. Then,
too. there was an encouraging amount
of enthusiasm and expressed desire that
the plurality for the republicans In Sep
TENDER be not only the normal vote In
recent presidential election years, but
that It be n record breaker--one sure to
let the whole country know that Yer
mont believes In the party of progress
and the square deal
ITO accomplish this every party and
individual interest that In any way
will cause detection from the large
vote desired. should be considered
with the greatest care and whenever
necessary personal sacrifices should
be made.
, I'm Burlington ind that our
friends. the enemy are out to carry
the city, II q possible thing. for their
nominee for the govcrnorship, To ac-
complish this they Will resort to all
the known ways OF politics. They
have strength and Will endeavor 10
add to It by selecting candidate for
the house who can bring votes to the
head OF the ticket. This Is good
card to play--so good In fact that the
republicans can well afford to lead Of
with this very move.
II feel that Burlington will be proud
OF her republican majority In September
was told that many democrats In Bur
lngton will vote the republican Stat,
ticket they give az reason the excel
lent administration Of Governor Proctor
the pledge OF Mr. Prouty TO continue tn,
policies so well begun, and the plain, un
equivocal statement he makes Of his posi-
ton upon all questions which concern tn
people of the State.

prominence and known all over the State

State committed? Certainly not wa

Burke to be loyal In every way to hi
political faith. Why do you question hi
integrity and his purpose?' And he re

SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES,
(From the Rutland NeWs)

The Vermont law against running au-
tomobiles in cities and villages at
speed in excess OF ten miles an hour is
violated hundreds Of times every day
Either tho limit ought to be raised 10
fifteen or twenty miles an hour. or some
effort should be made TO punish Offend
ers. At present the law Is absolutely dis
regarded. good way to Judge the speed
OF an automobile Is to compare II with
the speed OF n man running. II the car
is travelling faster than man can run
the driver Is breaking the law. runner
who covers a hundred yards In ten
seconds is moving at the rate OF more
than twenty miles an hour. Covering the
same distance In very slow time OF TWEEN
~ seconds he would SIN he running n
trhe faster than ten miles an hour II
Is common sight In Rutland to see au-
tomobiles travelling faster than any man
could possibly run,

THE OPEN SEASON FOR TROUT
(From the Bennington Ranner)

"Windham county sportsmen Will ap-
proach the Legislature this fall with
perfectly good proposition In regard 10
the existing trout laws. They Will ask
as they have done before. that the open
season for trout, In so far as II aHec's
streams In Windham county Mt least. be-
GIN April instead of May -. the rea-
sons on which they VIII base their re-
quest have been often repeated In these
columns. Summarized, they are that the
change Will give greater protection to
the Ash by preventing any such whole
sale slaughter ns that which now takes
place on the first day OF IN" open season
In this connection It "a worth noting
that the nsh and game commissioners
OF New Hampshlre-ther Is more than
one official in the adjoining State-in
their annual report advocate shortening
the trout season in the southern section
Of the state, making 1t from April ~
July l. They also favor law combining
each angler to n definite number of fish
per day. suggesting % or N rs reason
able number. These are wise recommen-
dations Would that Vermont's fish and
and game commissioner was troubled
with wisdom along these lines. Brat
tlehoro Rcformer.
we believe that the Reformer Is right
In urging that the open season for trout
begin earlier. though We should favor
April Is. rather than April I. II Is not so
sure that the spawn is all deposited by
April 1 and then April ! Is too early 10 go
fishing anyway.
