An Awful Situation.

The News recently endorsed the sug-
gestion of the Randolph Herald that the
Republicans OF the several towns in Yer
mont send unplsdged delegations to their
coming state convention, with the view
of independent action in the nomination
of strong candidate for governor.
In considering the matter more care
fully The News is appalled, at the possible
results of such an action. II a majority
of the delegates assembled at the conven-
tion unpledged in choice for governor
and developed a few strong leaders 1t
would be difficult to hold them down to
any presidents. Enthusiasm among this
"independent" element would undoubt-
eddy enlist the sympathy of many passive
Mead supporters, who would also join
their ranks.
Under these conditions something
would be doing in the convention every
minute. This untagged delegation
might conclude to nominate for governor,
the man who once before gave Vermont
an exceedingly progressive administra-
ton, ex-Gov. Fletcher ID. Proctor; and the
ex-governor would be as helpless in his
refusal to serve the state again as was ex-
President Roosevelt in the National Re-
publican convention which nominated
him against his wishes for vice president.
Or the independents" concluding to
take new man might go right up INTO
Franklin county and nominate Charles
w. Gates, who earlier refused to be can
didate because he deemed ii his duty to
remain in less exalted position until
his term of Office expired.
And then again, casting all the hoary
rules Of politics aside, this bold band free
of collar or muzzle of any sort might
head for the east side of the mountain and
insist that Gov. Prouty keep right along
in his splendid administrative work. Or
in the event OF whim for a new man
there would be Allen NJ. Fletcher, Joseph
DeBoer and two or three other well
equipped men for chief executive.
What a situation this would be in the
staid old Republican party. DR.. Mead,

years to break into the governorship, left |

Awaitino the Consensus.

Some Of our good editorial brothers are
inclined to criticize the policy OF this
paper in seeking to know and reflect the
sentiment Of its constituency upon mat
ters Of public Importance, especially poll
tical questions and candidates. There
are two very distinct ideas regarding the
policy OF newspaper. The old
fashioned idea was that a newspaper Was
the personal organ of its owner aud ed-
tor. The modern idea is that the news
paper should seek to reflect the sentiment
of its constituency. This idea is in
force, as regards the news columns, of
practically every paper in Vermont today.
"Print the news without fear or favor
whether it suits the ideas Of the editor or
not" That is why the great newspapers
OF the country report impartially the
speeches, conventions, ETC., of both great
parties. There are good arguments that
can be given in favor Of each policy
man who owns his paper naturally thinks
he has a right to express his opinions re-
gardless Of whether his readers like them
or not. He sis moulder of public opin-
ion." This is the fundamental idea OF
