Vermont after Il has had a fair trial
OF some practical measure that does
not attemt to do too much at first

an opportunity TO try a substitute for
caucus system. that is open 10 such
abuses as to make our pretense OF
government b. the people well.nigh
bowling farce at times.
Answer every critic OF the direct
primary law here In Vermont with
the proposition that in this state a
Republican nomination is In nine ca
SEES out OF ten equivalent 10 an cleo
ton. And then ask him II he does
not know that times without number
that nomination does not reflect the
general sense OF the electorate and
could not have been obtained II pub

ually canvassed and had an even
chance to record itself. When the
answer comes that the majority rules

honest majority OF dissent TO eiiec-
lively combat the cunning OF the pol

does not count beside organization.
The direct primary system affords
the individual voter that desires to

individuals OF the same mind that are
likewise reaching out their hands to
find each other. And when these In
dependent voters do find themselves

a step In the right direction. Here

Where viii They Stand?

Candidates for town representa-
i've better begin to find out where
they stand on some of the important
questions coming before the legisla-
ture another fall. 1t would be just
like someone to ask them where they
stood on primary election, uniform
town accounting, and the proposed
constitutional amendments. Barton

Here is little hint that may well
be passed around the state We shall
not be likely to have so much trouble
about carrying out the Republican
party's platform pledges in the legis-
lature next fall If this canvass of
public sentiment and fixing of pros
pective official opinion are done early
enough not only to make some inn
preston upon the voters at large but
to commit would.be public servants
to the policies the public desires to
see expressed in law.
OF course, the contemporary has
mentioned but few of the matters
that are likely to engage the atten-
tion of the general assembly. Trunk
line highways and conservation of
forests will certainly be two more
very important issues there to be
passed upon. 1t is time to whip out
something like tangible public pol
icy in regard to these matters.

The direct nominations bill was
DEBATED Wednesday in the New York
legislature by combination OF ma
chine Republicans and machine Dem
ocrats. The better elements of both
parties supported Governor Hughes
measure, but there we're not enough.
This matter is of interest here in Yer
mont for inside of six months the
Vermont legislature will be struggl-
ing with a direct nominations bill OF
its own. Within comparatively few
weeks the voters of this state will be
called upon to select the members OF
the legislature who will pass upon
this important measure. Do the vot-
ers OF Vermont want men who will
follow the ideas Of Governor Hughes
or do they want men who will accept
the teachings OF Boss Barnes and Big
Chief Murphy and his satellites? 1t
is not too early to begin making the
decisions. The machine politicians
big and little, OF this and all other
states are opposed to primary cleo
ton laws for direct nominations be
cause it takes from them the power
Of manipulation and puts it into the
hands OF the rank and file OF the vot-
ers Think the matter over.

to result in his entering the state

lowing from Bennington and Wind
