Supports Mr.. sstcheIder

The entrance of James X Batchel-
der into the race for the goyernorship
has somewhat complicated the situa-
ton. His candidacy is being receiv-
ed with marked favor In all sections
Of the state. This is due in part to
the fact that he is the very type of
man which the present conditions call
for.
In former years he was very active
In politics and always Independent.
At one time he came within a few
votes of securing the nomination for
the governorship. In spite OF the most
strenuous opposition on the part OF
those who were. in those days, class
ed as machine men. He served with
conspicuous ability as Speaker OF the
House OF Representatives. He has
long been regarded rs one of the abb
lest lawyers OF the state, and has been
twice president of the Vermont Bar
association. Upon his retirement at
the last meeting OF the association he
delivered an address which has been
characterized by judges and lawyers
alike rs one OF the most able address
SEES ever delivered before that associ-
alton. His lifelong training has en-
inently fitted him for the position to
which he aspires. All OF these quail
ihcaiions will commend him TO the
people and will be sure to win him
loyal support In all sections OF the
state.
Until his entrance as a candidate,
Ex-Secretary OF State Fleetwood was
gaining greatly over Or. Mead.
Should c. =. Smith enter the race he
would have the support OF Chittenden
county and OF quite few delegates
from other sections OF the state, but
he Is not a man OF such acquaintance
or qualifications rs will draw to his
support the rank and file OF the vo-
ters.
Mr.. Batchelder announced his can
dldacy at time when there came n
demand for man OF ability, man
with no entangling alliances. man
independent In thought and action,
broad man of ripe experience. Mr..
Batchelder fully measures up to all
OF these demands. The years OF h
life have brought to him the eyH
ence and training which nc him
the position OF chief executive as we'll
as any man was ever fitted. The sup
port which is sure 10 come TO him by
reason thereof. and by reason OF the
frank and open campaign which he
will wage. will place him In the lead
OF the field and make uncertain the
outcome OF the most peculiar pre.con-
vention campaign in the history OF
Vermont politics. Wilmington Times.

Lo mas sensible es que las satiras
de Persio no nos sirven para conocer
detalles precisos de las costumbres
de sus contemporaries; porque en-
realidad el poeta no Sc detuvo a OBJ
servar sino a moralizar; no retrato
sino di6 lecciones. Frecuentemente
escribio con formas severas y graves
y usando I'm estilo Tornado y concise
en- el que la monotonia es inevitable
y en- el que las versos forjados a ma
cha martillo y conteniento formulas
llenas de idaas parecen enigmas.
De ellos dijo Boileau:
'.Perso hizo versos obcuros compri
midos. Mas de ideas y sentencias
muy nutridos".
