among the WGSL sue ueleSaleS was three
to one. We pick Page for the winner.
From the Groton Times
1t is reported that fully three-fourths
of the people attending the District and
State Conventions last week were out
spoken i'll favor of eX.Gov. Carroll S. Page
for Senator There is no question but
that Mr. Page is the first choice of the
people for Senator.
From the Windsor Journal
From all reports OF the conventions
held last week, at Burlington and Mont
pelier, ex- Governor Carroll S. Page would
easily succeed to the Uuited States Sena-
torship, to be disposed of by the next
| General Assembly of Vermont, if the ques-
ton were to be determined at the prima-
ries. as it is decided in some of the COM
monwealths of the land. The expression
of personal preference for the ex-Govern-
or was not only heard on every side, but
the delegates unquestionably reflected the
sentiment of the great majority of the
voters in their respective communities.
1t was also generally conceded that this
feeling was rapidly approaching a point
of unaninity, except in isolated quarters
where local pride turned to other candi-
dacies
From the Poutney Journal
As the reforms come in, and the dele
gates to the State Convention begin to
loosen up and tell of what they saw,
among other things, which was real con
| spiCuous, was the overwhelming favOrite-
| ism shown for Governor Page.
From the Woodstock Spirit of the Age.
Of course there were some quiet COM
parsons of the strength of senatorial
and other candidates at the Republican
| Conventions last week and observers
say that Page led in Congressman Eos
! ters district by a very substantial mar
gin. In the State and Second District
Conventions he made still larger show
| ing, the east-sde adherents of Foster
| being confined to a very small and di-
minishing territory.
From the Fair Haven Era
Carroll S. Page had more the look of
the winner than Congressman Foster
The former had the look so natural to
him. The latter had that of man with
| a forelorn hope. There was no installing
| the Page sentiment. 1t certainly dornin-
ated not only the conventions but an of
pulIlll lOll. cSS . ollOliS hOio 10 liz
Least side but the number of his adherents
on the west side is surprising and they
are constantly growing.
From the Brandon Union
The most unsophisticated politician
present must have gone home pretty
thoroughly convinced that there is a
wide spread sentiment in Vermont that
Carroll S. Page shall be our next United
States Senator. The temperature of the
whole State was taken and it is not too
much to say that the State is red hot for
Page Itcertainly looks to-day as though
Page could easily carry Chittenden coun-
| ty over Foster, if Foster should contest it.
From the Milton Times
| 1t was perfectly evident that the pre-
ponderance of Page sentiment was over
| whelming. 1t was said that there was
not Foster man to be found on the east
side of the state outside of Caledonia
county and only very few from that
county.
From the Deerfield Valley Times
Inquiry among the delegates to the
| recent State and District Conventions
discovered an almost unanimous senti-
ment favoring the candidacy of eX-Gov.
| c. S. Page for the Senatorship. If this
indicates, as seems probable, the senti-
ment of the people of the State, Govern
or Page willind an easy road to the
Senatorship.
From the Essex County Herald
| 1t wasn't difficult for any observing
person to see that in all three conventions
last week there was a strong pervading
sentiment in favor of ex-Gov. Page as our
| new Senator. This was decidedly APP
| parent in the First District, and in the
| Second District and State Conventions
there was an unmistakable preponder-
ance of Page sentiment, in fact, we be-
lieve, if conditions remain as at present,
| to remove any reasonable doubt of his
| election.
From the Montpelier Argus
| Carroll S. Page was another happy
man. He had headquarters 'at the Van
Ness and delegates dropped into his
room to talk it over and tell him much
pleasant news from all parts of the State.
| He was so busy that it WASH t until O:3O
o'clock he could get away to saunter
| about the office. 1t is conceded by al
most everybody except Foster and few
| friends of Fosters that Page will be
elected Senator next fall.
From the st. Iohnsbury Republican
| It is asserted that at least three to one
of the delegates to last weeks First Dis
| trict Convention and five or ten to one OF
the delegates to the Second District and
| State Conventions were for Page TOR
Senator. This is an important straw
which indicates the direction of the sena-
| torial wind.
From the Vermont Union-Journal
| of the delegates to the LIST Dist. Conven-
ton it is probably a reasonable estimate
that three to one favored Page. In the
Second District and State Conventions a
very large majority of the delegates were
! for Page. 1t was hard TO find a Foster
delegate from the east side of the State
with the exception of a few from Caledo-
MIA county.
