PLAN CAMPAIGN
FOR SHORT BALLOT
Municipal League Will Institute
Statewide Movement at
Banquet Feb. 90.

\ statewide movement for the short
ballot, meaning the changing or the
system OF selecting public officials 30
that fewer shall be elected. is 10 bs
started on the occasion OF the Munich.
pal league banquet in the Y. NJ. c. A..
Feb. %.
II is true that the city ticket might
be shortened by charter amendment,
bur this would amount tn but little
since the city ticket isalready a com.
paratiyely short one. The long ticket
and the cumbersome one is the state
and county ticket. and II would take
statewide movement resulting in
legislative action To amend this.
With regard to the city election. L
Eight be feasible 10 make the city
treasurer an appointee OF the mayor
and council, the city clerk appointiye
By the council and the constables also
appointiye by the council This would
leave only the mayor aldermen. esti,
motors and justices or the peace 20
be chosen at the fall election in tho
city. and the recorder, Judge or thu
recorders court. police justices and
school inspectors TO be chosen a
spring election.
With regard TO the state, the short,
ballot theory would make such officeI
as land commissioner and superintend-
ent OF public instruction in the APP
pointing power OF the governor. and
also the secretaryship OF state. In all
probability
The county ticket could be greatly
shortened by having the county CLERK,
register OF deeds. county school super
iutendent, coronerS, drain commits
siouer. surveyor, engineer and similar
Iaiuor Offices appointed by the super
NIsoIs. either by appointment OF the
auditors or otherwise, Comparatively
little attention is paid TO the work of
these Offices by the public. and the

IN VERMONT.
(By Associated PresS.)

Montpelier. VT, June 5.--Four candi
dates for the Republican nomination
for Governor of Vermont are already in
the field While at least two others are
being held in reserve as dark horses to
be driven into the state convention
which is to be held in this city June 30
The four announced candidates are:
John a. Mead of Rutland, a scale
manufacturer, who promises to give
the state a business administration;
Frederick 5. Fleetwood of Morrisville,
former secretary OF state. whose
campaign slogan is "Retrenchment;
James *. Batcheldor of Arlington, a
former speaker of the Vermont House
of Representatives, whose principal
platform plank is State roads" NJ. r.
Hapgood of Peru, whose battle cry is
conservation of the states natural re-
sources
A peculiar feature of the situation is
that none of the four announced can
didates has received the approval of
the Republican state committee.
AS organized at present the state
committee is favorably disposed to-
wards the candidacy of Former Cover
nor Fletcher d. Proctor of Proctor for
the United States Senate, in which
body his father the late Redfield Proc
tor, sat for 50 many years. 1t is gen
orally understood among the Republic
can politicians that the question of the
senatorShip is of far greater import
ance than the governorship. and the
feeling is generally expressed that the
state committees endorsement will be
given only to the gubernatOrial candi-
date who is strongly supporting the
senatorial aspirations of Former GOV
ernor Proctor
number of prominent party men
express the opinion that with four am
bounced candidates in the field. the
convention may be unable to unite on
any one of the men AIMED ad that one
Oh Inc TWO men to be named by the
state committee Dark horses" favor
aDle to Mr.. Proctor and his reported
senatorial aspirations may be nominal
ed at the last moment The two men
most prominently mentioned as elev-
enth hour "Stampede" candidates. are
olin Merrill of tnosburg and Charles
{. Gates of Franklin, a member of the
state Highway Commission.
SO far the campaign interest has
poeh confined principally to the active
political workers The public at large
mas as vet manifested nothing but
apathy. and only a little of that
