And they don't seem to be very
solid for anybody in this present
campaign. Supporters of various
candidates assure us positively that
their man is sure winner, but he
isn't. None of the candidates in the
field are particularly strong and the
voters are at present looking the
field over.

remember just what the law says
candidates may not do and what it
says that they may do. Section 1Ol
OF the public statutes OF Vermont
lays down the following regulations
concerning things forbidden In the
matter Of the expenditure Of money:
No person shall directly or indir-
ectly, give, pay, expend or contribute
or promise to give, pay, expend or
contribute, money or other valuable
thing in order to promote his own
nomination, or the nomination of an
other person, as candidate for a
public office, by caucus. convention
or nomination papers. except for per-
sonal expenses as provided In the fol-
lowing section"
Section l05 defines ways in which
candidates may spend money, as fol
lows:
"A person may incur and pay in or
der to promote his own nomination.
or the nomination Of another person,
as a candidate for a public office, his
own personal expenses for travelling.
for writing printing and preparing
for transmission any letter, circular,
or other publication not issued at reg.
ular intervals whereby he may state
his position or views, or the position
or views OF another person, upon pub
lie or other questions, for stationery
and postage. for telegraph, telephone
and other regular messenger service,
and for other petty personal expen-
SEES. but all such expenses shall be
limited to those which are directly
incurred and paid by him."
For the violation Of these proyis-
ions a fine OF not less than SlOO Is
fixed by law II is difficult To see
how under the sections quoted. any
candidate legally may pay the expen.
SEES OF delegates to the state conven-
ton. Such expenditure OF money OBJ
yiously is done either by a candidate
or by his friends in order to promote
his nomination. BY no stretch Of the
law or OF the imagination can It be
made TO come under the head OF per.
sonal expenses as defined In section
lO5.
As rumors are beginning to float
about limiting az such financial aid Il
is well for candidates and for men
who may be delegates to remember
the wording of the statutes on this
subject or course one would regret
to believe that any candidate would
set out deliberately to violate the
election laws OF the state, but In the
stress OF partisan conflict there Is a
disposition at times to overstep the
legal limitations For that reason
before the battle becomes hot. Il is
well to look az this phase OF the
campaign soberly and to let Il be
known that no such aid may be ex
peoted. OF course delegates will un
derstand that the acceptance Of nom
cy for such a purpose is distinctly
Illegal and makes any person SO nc
ceptlng a party TO transaction for
hidden by law, and one neither rlghl
nor safe. It Is to be hoped for IN,
sake OF the good name OF Vernon
that no votes will be solicited or oh
tanned by promises OF the payment o.
convention expenses. The fact tina

The committee on railways and the
committee on street railways of the
Massachusetts legislature were in
Bennington on iunket today. AS
far as we could see they behaved
very much like members Of any other
legislature under similar clrcumstan-
ces. AS they landed in town from
the special car Bennington" of the
Berkshire electric road system, they
divided their attentions among soda
fountains, saloons and cigar stands.
The last thing they wanted was to
talk business. The editor of the
Banner asked several of them as to
whether or not it would be a good
business proposition for Massachu-
sets to allow baggage and express
connections from this way by trolley,
which is one of the points the com
mittees are supposed to be investiga.
ting. The reply made by one of the
visitors was that he was having a
good time and didn't give damn
about business interests. Manager
c. Q. Richmond OF the Berkshire road
was with them and may be able to
impress some facts on the legislators
before they get home.

the offender should be elected at once.
But amid the storm OF abuse one
friendly voice was raised as Denevo-

Just as soon as the results of the
special elections in the ilth Massa.
chusetts and 33rd New York districts
showed that the Democrats will un.
doubleday control the next national
House OF Representatives and will al.
so make considerable gains IN the
Senate, the old gang OF Democrats
for revenue only began to show their
heads. The most notorious example
is Tom Taggart OF Indiana who has
declared himself a candidate for sen
ator to succeed Beverage. II Is the
old story over again. The worst foe
the Democrats have to face In the
coming congressional campaign is
not the Republicans. but the dis.
credited members Of their own party.
Back in 1898 and 1894 the German
and Murphy gang betrayed the Clev-
land administration and sold out their
party to the trusts and grafters. The
result has been that the country
has voted overwhelmingly Republl.
can for sixteen years. German is
dead, but his followers and success.
ors are just as anxious for the loot
as ever they were and are hungrily
looking toward the trough again. The
younger cleaner and progressive
Democrats have a problem just the
same as the progressive Republicans
have theirs. In fact the problem Is
the same for the honest, square deal
members Of both parties. II the peo-
pie, who create the wealth. are to
have a fair share In the distribution
OF H. the Taggarts. the Clarks. the
Connors and their like have got to
be kicked out Of the Democratic par.
~ Just the same as the Republicans
must dump their Cannons. Aldrlchs,
Aldrldges and others similar. II is a
moral rather than party issue that
confronts the country and the honest
men Of the rank and Gle OF both par
ties have got to work together "a
