THE oovERNoRsHIP-IN 1912.

The White River Junction Landmark
blows a clarion blast for Allen NJ
Fletcher of Cavendish as the next gov
ernor. Harken to the reverberatons:
MIR. Fletcher is most emphatically
the logical candidate. The rank and file
of the party want him and will vote for
him in the pre-convention caucus with
out the solicitation of the paid heller
In fact the state is full of men who will
work for Mr. Fletcher without money
and without price. He is going to get
the nomination, for the plain voter says
So and the said plain voter is in that
state of mind that will brook no funny
business on the part of caucus and con-
vention manipulators. Mr.. Fletcher is a
man close to the hearts of the people
He has for long been in public life and
his integrity has never been questioned.
Both state and national party welfare
call for his nomination without pre-
convention contest"
The people" is just as popular and as
enlightening chord to play upon as it
was in the days when the three tailors
of Tooley street signed their famous
proclamation beginning 1--WE, the peo-
pie of England" Mr. Fletcher will be
given respectful hearing but there are
others who may dissent from the claim
that the people are calling Lieut.. Gov
Slack. if we rightly interpret the ST.
Johnsbury papers, is willing to take a
chance on the game, and Joseph A. De-
Boer of Montpelier is reported to be in
the attitude of the historic Barlkis
"willn'."
The convention is more than 10 months
away, however, and there will be no oc-
casion for getting excited before the
spring of 1912. II is safe to predict that
all of the candidates who come into the
field will be ready to give publicity to
the subject Of campaign expenses, and
will be willing to express their views on
such subjects MS primary elections, tax
alton reform, etc

Some years ago Vermont passed a law
requiring each town to plainly mark
intersecting points of highways with
signboards Many of the signboards
have disappeared or have been obliter-
ated, and travellers on the roads are
frequently put to great inconvenience
for the lack of a few words of di-
rections properly displayed. 1t is time
for the authorities in each town to show
a little enterprise in this direction. The
people who travel over the highways are
entitled to know where they are going.
In our neighboring county across the
river the Cheshire County Automobile
association has done a commendable
work in plainly marking all curves and
crossroads with signs conspicuously dis
played just before the danger points are
reached.

Mr.. Berger, the Socialist Congressman
from Milwaukee, in introducing an old
age pension bill, has offered a resolution
to provide for the appointment of a COM
mission to investigate the whole ques-
tion, The Boston Herald calls attention
to the fact that such a commission
would find in the first place that by a
Supreme Court decision the United
States is precluded. from establishing
any system of pensions except in recog-
milton of civil or military service to the
government. The states can establish
old age pensions but notthe federal gov
ernment.

A Queer PLAY.

a play in the ninth inning of the game
with Brattleboro Wednesday (July 26),
when Leonard and Mccarthy of the
Keene team were both at second base at
one time has confused a good many of
the fans, who thought that Leonard, in
stead of Mccarthy, should have been
called out by Umpire Foley. Mccarthy
hit to short, Leonard attempting to steal
third on the play. He saw he could not
make it and went back towards second,
motionng Mccarthy to come to second,
also, so that if Leonard) could not make
it, Mccarthy could. Leonard succeeded,
by good work, in getting back to second,
and Mccarthy vacated 1t and went
towards first, being touched out. Leon
ard had a perfect right to go back to
second, even though Mccarthy had
reached there, for it was Leonard's base
until he got to third or was touched out,
and could be McCarthy's only after
Leonard had reached third or been put
out. Leonard was not forced off second,
as the only thing which could have
forced him, with liability of being put
out, was another hit.-[Keene Sentinel

Kahoe, scout for the Washington league
team, who has been having look at the
Twin State leaguers. The Post said In
part Home Run Breckenridge, a mi

day, latterly engaged in coaching New

for the statement that up in Vermont,
ON the fast independent teams that have
a circuit of their own (outside of or

sters worth while. Breckenridge is the
man who first directed Kahoe's attention
to John Henry and what that young
man has shown has given the word of
both Kahoe and Breckenridge some
weight hereabouts. The scouts trip is
not in quest of men for any particular
positions, but for anything that looks
good, Any youngster who can hit and
who has any speed, has chance to
