strangely enough the man who has
brought the prepared list to the caucus
is a member of that committee. The
committee brings in the identical list
prepared in advance and the men named
thereon are promptly declared elected.
The average voter has come to under
stand that he has no real voice in the
selecting of these delegates. Canvass
the men who do not attend the caucuses
and nine out of 10 win tell you they
remain away because of the cut-and-
dried manner in which the caucuses
are conducted. Such conditions as pre-
vail under the present system might be
expected in some countries, but hardly
in a republic of the twentieth century.
Still some thank God fervently that
we live in a state where the people
rule. Those who do so should amend
their prayer to conform to the facts. If
they so amend they viii thank God that
they live in a state where a handful of
politicians, through the caucus and con-
vention system, are permitted year after
year TO name our public officials and to
fool the people into believing that they
really have some voice in public matters
by permitting them at election time to
ratify the politicians choice at caucus
time. The politicians do not trouble
about elections If they are permitted to
make the nominations.
Respectfully,

shipping Loads Of "eObn Veal.

That certain individuals, either local
dealers or representatives of the big
packing houses, are making a regular
business of buying bob" veal and are
shipping it out of the state for food pur-
poses, is plainly apparent to any one who
cares to visit the local stock yards any
Monday afternoon while the shipping
and loading is in progress said the Rut-
land Herald Tuesday. Not only are
calves that are under three weeks old and
weigh less than so pounds dressed being
shipped out of the state, but thew are
shipped under conditions that are a
shame and a disgrace to any civilized
community. This is not a recent de-
Velopment and trainmen say that this
sort OF thing has been going on for a
long time with no bothering about the
legality or the humaneness of the matter
The Herald said that in a shipment Mon
day. part of which was loaded in that
city were dozens OF little calves that
certainly would not dress much more
than 20 pounds, and which to all outward
appearances were not three weeks old
ABOUT 90 OF these little eatures were
huddled into a car, sometimes double
that number In double decker. with
out food or water of any kind, during the
several days that must elapse from the
time they are shipped until the time
they are slaughtered. The statutes i'm
pose heavy fine for shipping "bob',
veal for food purposes.

county conventions throughout the state
are held for the selection of candidates
for county Offices Cd Two caucuses
each town are held for the purpose Of
nominating candidates for representation
to the General Assembly and justices of
the peace. This makes a total of eight
caucuses in each town and forty con-
Ventions in various parts Of the state,
with all the expenses incident to the
same, all for the simple purpose of as
certaining the will Of the people as to
the candidate for their public positions.
This could be more directly and definitely
ascertained as to all these positions, ex-
cepting possibly delegates to national
conventions, by one meeting, at which
the people would be allowed to express
their wish in simple, direct manner.
Would 1t be possible for an intelligent
person, one fully familiar with civics and
politics, to originate a more complex,
cumbersome and absurd system for the
selecting of candidates for office than
the one under which we are now doing
so?
Q0) The most serious objection to
the present system is that it permits
a few to rule the many. 1t makes our
much boosted theory of self government
a farce. In this state a nomination by
the Republican party is equivalent TO an
election. Therefore, at the Republican
caucus we really choose our public Off
gals. What per cent, of Republican
voters, then, really have voice in
choosing our officials? Less than 10 per
cent. throughout the state. Why does
such condition obtain? Note this pic
ture of caucus in a town having a
Republican voting strength of over 1900
voters. Twenty-Five men are gathered
for the caucus. A list of names Of dele
gates has been prepared in advance by
two or three men in conference. AS soon
as the caucus is called to order some one
moves that committee be, appointed
to prepare and present a lit OF dele
gates The motion is carried and

excitement and manufactured enthu-
siasm The organization is perfected
Nominations are called for. The best
orators laud their candidates as the
grandest creations of God since the days
of Adam. The ballot is taken, the re-
suit announced The result is in accord
with the solution worked out by the
masters Of the situation while the dele
gates were sleeping. The delegates for
a few hours were sure of being con-
scious of acting as Independent beings
They were, in fact, what Governor
Hughes has so aptly termed, registering
machines" to register the will Of the
political bosses. They, in fact, had no
more to do in shaping the action of that
convention than children unborn
These registering machines" were
elected at thinly attended caucuses
manipulated by political heelers. Many
of them were transported to the con-
date. That candidate they blindly sup
ported. Does a system which brings
about the selection Of candidates in such
manner tend to secure and perpetuate
a rule of the people?
90 The caucus and convention sys-
tenn is cumbersome and complex. Con-
slider 1t under most favorable conditions
as 1t applies to the two leading parties

uNPLEDeED DELEGATES

Unpledged delegates for the next Re-
publican state convention is quite a pop
ular cry just now. 1t comes of course
from those who do not care to support
either Mead or Fleetwood in their COVER
nOrship aspirations and hope that the
delegates with no entangling alliances
will be able to nominate a man, who in
their opinion is stronger than either of
the announced candidates. Ordinarily It
would be impossible to send a large num-
Der of uninstructed delegates to a state
convention because generally there is a
lively contest between two or more can
dldates and what one does not succeed
in getting pledged, the other or others
do. This year. however, is an exception.
There are but two candidates, in fact
there is but one in the usual meaning of
the term. DIR. Mead wants to be govern
OF real bad and he is using oldtime
methods to manufacture a little enthu-
siasm, but without great success up to
date. Fleetwood offers himself at the
altar of sacrifice but so far there has
been no mad rush to accept the Offering
Mead says he wants the governorship
and is going after 1t. What the state
wants is minor consideration. Fleetwood
yawns and says why yes, l will accept
the nomination If 1t comes to me in the
way have outlined. Not deucedly par
ticular about it, you know, but If the con-
Vention wants me real bad 1t can ring me
up at Hyde Park, provided the charge
is not reversed.
1t is an unusual situation for the Re-
publican party in Vermont Only one
man in the entire state says in no I'M
certain voice that he wants the highest
office in the party's gift and that mans
ambition is greeted with an Indifference
that would cause chill at the north
pole The situation is so unusual that
the next convention may be an unusual
convention. 1t may have a majority of
unpledged delegates and some interesting
things may happen. bellows Falls Times
