The writer conducted an inquiry
regarding the attitude OF the GO daily

These figures include both Republi'

noted that Of the GO papers published
In Vermont only four are democratic.
Excluding from the calculation the

The presidents informant says
that the newspapers of Vermont ac.
curately reflect public sentiment at

the people on this issue in the town

newspapers circulate. While the

DELIGHTFUL DANCE
BY UNIVERSITY CLUB

The dance given by the University
club last evening was the most sue
cessful affair of the present season In
the neighborhood of forty couples were
present.
A program of twelve dances and a
number of extras and special extras
resulted in a continuation of the dane
ing until late hour. The music was
good, and the affair was one of the
most enjoyable that has ever been held
in the club.
The notices to the members were to
the, effect that there would be no pro-
grams. After the party got together
1t was found that there were so many
out-of-town visitors that 1t would be
difficult to conduct the dance without
programs. so they were distributed.
At IL o'clock luncheon was served
by Mrs. Mary Epker. The menu con-
sisted of creamed chicken patties
Parker House rolls, preserves. pickles
olives and coffee.
