There is provision in the Gibson bin
for direct primaries that is OF peculiar in
terest just now when senators and repre-
sentatives are trying to excuse the proba-
bic failure to pass laws in accordance
with the pledge Of the Republican state
platform. It il that which provides for
the writing OF platform, after the result
OF the primary election is declared, bv the
candidate and the chairmen OF the various
party committees.
A candidate, therefore, might run for
nomination on certain set Of principles
which he would have to make known to
the voters in order to be nominated, then
he and the party officials wonld formu-
late platform, including, naturally
enough, the principles approved BY the
voters nomination Of that candidate
There would then be no possible evasion.
All the voters Of the party would have .
chance to vote on every state platform.
practically speaking, and there would be
no possibility Of evading the Obligation
entered upon BY that party.
By the way. Why should the state eom-
mittee not pick out its platforgn-wrifer
earlier and make the proposed features
public IN time enough for everybody to
read them and talk them OVER Then
delegates would know exactly what they
were voting on.-RutIand Herald.

The Bennington Banner finds that the
faults and weaknesses Of the Vermont
legislature are constitutional, rather than
individual 1t suggests that the services
Of the attorney-general's Office should be
more freely at the disposal Of members
for the drafting OF their bills in proper
form early in the session. It believes
that the important committees should be
split up and the work divided among
more of the members, instead Of leaving
so much Of it to be done by about seven
ty-five men in all. Committees should
meet at in the morning and the assem-
bly, should begin its morning session at
II. Under these and other reforms, it
would be possible, the Banner thinks, to
discharge the increased volume Of work
IN two months. These suggestions are
sensible and worthy OF careful considera-
tion. The Banner editor has had the
benefit Of considerable observation, as
well as actual inside experience.

In denying the charge that State Fish
and Game Commissioner h. @. Thomas
urged and promoted the doe killing bin.
the Bennington Banner says
"This attack on Mr.. Thomas is unwar-
ranted and cannot be too strongly con-
demned. Mr.. Thomas is in no way re-
sponsible for the change in the deer law,
II that is what the Gazette is talking
about, and had absolutely nothing to do
with 1t. Mr.. Thomas has his faults but
this is not one Of them.1
Inasmuch as the editor of the Banner
himself fathered this doe hunting bill, he
may be assumed to speak with knowl-
edge; also from the wording Of this note
it appears that be is not trying to evade
responsibility.

1t is perfectly safe gamble that when
Clarence ]. Ferguson puts pen to paper
and gives the product thereof to the press
he will disclose his actual calibrs as a
man and citizen. Last week he broke
into the Free Press with q lengthy COM
munication in which he laid the blame
for the defeat OF county option in the
House to Speaker Cheney and Acting
Speaker ]. [. Bacon and the snap meth
DDS that he alleged were used BY them.
There was not the slightest ground for
word Of his bitter and insinuating criti-
cism. County option was beaten on its
dement's, after free and fair discussion,
with a full House present. No snap
methods were employed; none were nee
essary; none were desired. The bill laid
on the speakers desk several days at re-
guest Of its supporters and was finally
taken up after ample notice to both sides.
Clarence had planned a nice little stage
play that flashed in the pan. He had
distributed g large number OF petitions
favoring the bill among members with
instructions to spring them at a given
time for the eject that would follow. 1t
was such a palpable violation OF the rules
and methods Of the House that Speaker
Cheney. from the floor, explained that
the bill was already before the House for
action; that petitions should have gone
to the committee in charge Of the bin
earlier; and that the acting speaker, Mr..
Bacon, should simply receive them. This
put quietus on Clarence's theatrical at
tempt at a stampede, and the vote, fol-
lowing, told its own story. 1t was a cut
ting rebuke to Ferguson and his meth
DDS, as well as defeat for the issue, and

When Governor Prouty said that the
last legislature passed few bills affecting
anybody's pocketbook, he probably in
tended to confer delicate compliment on
that body. It certainly didn't make a
wholesale business OF raising the salaries
Of state officials and supplying them with
clerk hire to their everlasting ease and
comfort. And when the governor said
that the biggest piece Of lobbying was on
the grade crossing bin, being on the spot
and knowing all the circumstances, be
wouldn't be understood to imply that the
effort Of the railroads to draft the act to
their liking succeeded, even in the slight
