Vermont Republican Ticket

Allen NJ. Fletcher has been nomi-
mated for the goyernorship by the
republican party of Vermont That
he is man of ability is conceded
and he will unquestionably give the
state a good business administration
We are of the opinion however that
a man more deserving of political
recognition and better fitted to lead
a hard fight in the year of a presi-
dental campaign could have been
found. 1t is now particularly up to
the men who have pushed Mr. Flet-
chers candidacy to take off their
coats in what is likely to be the
liyeliest gubernatorial campaign the
state has seen in years. The nomi.
nation of Frank +. Howe as lieuten-
ant governor will be received with
satisfaction wherever he is known.

TO EXPEDITE HENRY BILL
Borah to Amend Measure Providing
for Publicity or Campaign Funds

for Publicity or Campaign Funds
New York, July 15.-Perry Belmont
president of the national publicity
law association, announced yesterday
that Senator Borah will today move
that the Henry bill, which passed the
House, providing for the publication
of contributions and expenditures for
the nominations for the presidency
and vice presidency, be reported
from the judiciary committee of the
Senate; also that Senator Borah Will
offer an amendment to the bill in
line with the provisions of the Nc
Call bill providing for a summary
inquiry during the campaign.
Mr.. Belmont said that the sum
mary inquiry, which is taken from
the New York statute enacted in
1906 is of vital importance to the
enforcement of the national law, en-
acted August IA, 1911, providing for
the publication of campaign funds
before and after election. He has
been endeavoring to have this pro-
vision incorporated into the federal
law since its enactment
It's essential feature is that any
five citizens can on sufficient infor-
nation petition a federal judge to in
quire whether a political committee
has complied with the statute in the
matter of publication of receipts and
expenditures. Without this provis-
ion the federal publicity law, he as
serts, while of the greatest benefit,
might eventually become a dead let
ter, depending on public opinion
alone for its enforcement. Mr.. Bel
mont will confer with Gov. Wilson
on this subject at Trenton tomorrow.
