'ANSW lOlhJ OopI' Oil 1o0G w IL
liam c. Whitney looked from a pile
of kilograms and in reply to the ques-
tioa as to the outlook for Democratic
victory said:
wait until after the good people
of Vermont register their vote on
the first Monday in September, and
I think 1 can make an accurate guess
as to who will be the next president"
Mr.. Whitney turned to his work as
if he had dismissed the subject for
good.
"But why wait for the first Mon.
day in September" his caller in
sisted.
For the simple reason that Yer
mont is perfect political bar
ometer," replied Mr.. Whitney.
"And it has been so for a quarter
of a century. When you find Yer
mont giving a majority of $4,000 or
over, for the Republicans in their
September election, then you can ex-
pect the Republicans to carry the
country in November"
In 1884 the Democrats at the Sep
TENDER election lost the state by only
22,704 land in November the Demo-
Gratis swept the country.
In 1892 the Democrats reduced the
Republican majority in Vermont in
the September election by 1902, and
again swept the country at the Presi-
Dental election in November.
In 1900 the Republicans carried the
state in September by 30,S64 and Nc.
Kinley was elected in November.
In 1904 the Republicans carried the
state by 91,559 in September and
Roosevelt was elected in Novem.
der.
In 1908 the Republicans carried
the state in September by 1854 and
Taft was elected in November.
And so Vermonts history since 1856
has been guidepost for the political
leaders and what they might expect
in the November presidential cleo
ton. If the Republicans majority ex-
ceeds $4,000 in Vermont in September
they carry the presidency. But if the
Democrats cut the majority down to
less than $4,000 they have won.
/ Today Vermont casts her vote for
the gubernatorial candidates. The
Democratic candidate for governor
Harland G. Howe, has carried on his
campaign practically by making
speeches to the voters. He had some
assistance during the last few days
of the campaign and notwithstanding
the fact that the Democrats have not
made the vigorous fight in Vermont
that they are making in some other
parts of the country there is every
indication that Mr.. Howe stands a
most excellent chance of defeating
both rival candidates.
Students Of political affairs recall
the famous speech of Henry W
Grady, Of Georgia, delivered at the
Annual Banquet of the Boston Mer
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-09-03
Vermont the Barometer;
Election Comes OFF Today

chants association in December, 1889.
Mr.. Grady, who had country wide
reputation as an orator, closed his
speech with the following eloquent
tribute to the Democrats of Vermont.
LET me confess, Mr.. President
before the praise of New England has
died on my lips-that I believe the
best product of her present life is the
procession of 1900 Vermont Demo-
Gratis that for twenty-five years, I'M
diminished by death, unrecruited
by birth or conversion, have
marched over their rugged hills,
cast their Democratic ballots, and
gone back home to pray for their I'M
regenerate neighbors, and awake to
read the record of $4,000 Republican
majority. May the God of the help
ess and the heroic help them-and
may their sturdy tribe increased"
And unless all signs fail, the pre-
diction of Mr.. Grady will be answered
today, not only by an increased Demo-
cratic vote, but the handwriting on
the wall is due to appear when the
Republicans slump from their 10000
majority.
Mr.. Whitney's making the Vermont
election a political barometer is still
believed to hold good.

Take Revenge by Clipping Girls Hair

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla-Barbara
~ Weaver, the 15-year-old girl who
was shorn of her locks as she lay
asleep, lost her crown of glory be-
cause she was ''stuck up" Tt is strong
Iy suspected that the vandals who
shipped off one of her silken braids
were two boys, former playmates Of
hers, who resented what they regard
ed as her growing tendency toward
aristocracy.
Little Miss Weaver is the daughter
of Claude Weaver, an attorney, who
is considered wealthy. Barbara Weav-
er had been on friendly terms with
the children in the neighborhood of
the family home, but is said to have
gained the idea of late that her social
standing did not permit of her con-
tinuing such relations. Two of her
CASTOR friends are believed to have
adopted the "rape of the lock- idea to
express their resentment of these
high-fown notions.
This theory is strengthened by the
fact that Cynthia Powell, a girl of
Barbara's age, who attended school
with her, received a "Black Hand"
