Just A LITTLE BOAST.

Without undue Boosting, we should
like to call il to attention that two OF
the three members of New Hampshires
new public service commission are Yer.
mont born men, and the third was just
unfortunate enough to have been born
in Connecticut rather than Vermont.
The Vermonters on the commission are
Prof. Thomas Wilson Worthen Of Dart
mouth college, who had the distinction
of being born in the town of Thetford
and whose wife, by the way, is YER
mont woman, and John Z. Benton of
Keene, whose native place is Maidstone
in Essex county. The appointment OF
these men is just another indication Of
what Vermont has done to the upbuild
ing of other states of the union, Count
less other Vermonters are holding off
cial positions in New Hampshire and
practically every state of the union.
Vermont is proud of them, although nat
urally sorry that she does not still
number them among her citizens and
prime movers.

Shackelton had been living practically the
life Of a hermit his wife having left him

OLDFIELO STILL DEFIANT
To Race Over Daytona Beach
While Under Suspension.

W. J Morgan. president of the Motor
Racing Association. received yesterday the
following telegram from T. r. Fitzgerald,
secretary of the Florida East Coast Auto
mobile Association:
"Fiat-B Benz match of. Other interests
arranging to have Odfeld here on dates
mentioned.
Oldfeld Is under indefinite suspension by
the American Automobile Association.
Daytona has held for several years races
and speed trials on The beach. This year
the Florida East Coast Auto Association
asked for March 2s. q and 80 but the club
a Jacksonville had applied for the same
dates and as their application was in first,
the sanction was awarded to Jacksonville. ,
The Daytona people then announced that
they would offer n purse of 5000 for
match race between Hemery. driving
Benz. and a riat car. 1t was the intention
Of the Daytona management 10 nave
match with other races on the same date
that had been awarded to Jacksonville,
and this probably had something TO DO
with the falling through Of the Benz-r lat
match.
Oldhelds presence AT Daytona would
make an outlaw meet That is to say, any
driver who appeared there would be auto
maticaIIv outlawed If Oldfed drove during
the course Of the meet, whether in compe-
titiOn or against time.
An interesting question. however, Is in
volved in the matter Of the course. 1t so
happens that it is a federal beach, and 1t
NAV be doubted II the American Automo-
bile Association has authority to declare II
an outlaw course and refuse to grant sane
tions in the future II Daytona is fortunate
enough to get it's application in before
other tracks or courses in the same ter
ritory.
Oldfed has been rather quiet since the
American Automobile Association won the
legal case against him at Atlanta. In when
he sought to compel the management OF
the Atlanta track TO allow him to ride. He
has not defied the governing body OF the
sport for about three months now, ana
probably Bill Pickens. his manager,
thought II time TO hurl he thunderbolt OF
defiance again at s. NJ. Buffers head.

LENROOT CRITIClSES ROOT
Analyses Demand for Popular
Election of Senators.

Congressman Irvine L. Lenroot Of Wis
consin. a member Of the National Progress
sive Republican League. spoke Of the pur-
poses of the new organization and out
lined it's programme at dinner given last
night by the Progressive Republican Club
OF the Eighteenth Senatorial District, in
Reisenwebers restaurant
Congressman Lenroot was introduced by
Gilbert F.. Roe. also a member Of the ma
tional organization At the guest table
were seated. besides these two, Albert Phil
lips. president of the club: Theron Akin.
Congressman-elect from Gloversville; WILL
lam NJ. Bennett, Assemblyman Andrew F.
Murray and Arthur Young
The National Progressive Republican
League, Congressman Lenroot said, was
not an organization for the promotion of
the political fortunes of any man. and II
was not devised by men of impractical OF
visionary efforts, but 1t aimed at the crea-
ton of higher standards OF public service,
making the will Of the people the law OF
the land He analyzed the platform of
the league. particularly the demand for the
election Of Senators by popular vote.
The Senate. he said. represented not
men. but business: not ordinary business,
but big and corrupt business. He criticised
Senator Roots speech in opposition TO the
popular election of Senators, saying that
the demand was not a sign OF growing dis
trust on the part of the people toward
representative government. but that its
opposition betrayed distrust Of the aoll-
ity of the people TO govern themselves. he
ridiculed the assertion that the Senate
would cease to be a deberative body. and
said. that with this reform it would cease
10 be a deliverable body.
