The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-07-09

Our steelplate-clad battleships are not
such resisting monsters as we are wont
to picture them. Here, for instance, was
the battleship New Hampshire rammed
by passenger steamer creeping through
the fog and having huge hole torn
in part of the war vessel which was
supposedly the most guarded. What a
vessel specially designed for ramming
would do to the New Hampshire and
other battleships of her class is a subject
for considerable discussion, followed by
well-grounded apprehension. Let ram
ming vessel get near enough-which con-
tingency is supposed to be guarded
against, however7-and death wound
might easily be given the great and
proud monster.

Wallace Batchelder of Bethel showed
extreme consideration for candidate
Howe of the Democratic party when he
first inquired if his (Batchelder's) sup
port would harm the Howe cause, and
then, on receiving negative answer,
replied that he would render that sup
port. Most politicians would plunge first
and find out afterwards whether their
support would be damaging or not. BIZ
his reserve, Mr.. Batchelder showed him
self in marked contrast to his Rough
Rider leader.

President Taft could do much better
than to select William Barnes, jr,, of
New York as his campaign manager.
Admitting that Mr.. Barnes is an astute
politician, one must also confess that he
does not stand so well with his own
party as he might. Taft should, and
probably will, look elsewhere.
