Election Investi CATION in Eden.
The Hyde Park News and Citizen
says: Lively times up Eden way last
week, in the way of an investigation
about certain matters. AS we under
stand it, somebody bought number of
dinner tickets of the 'Dorcas Socie-
ty,' church organization, and gave |
them away on election day-thus 'pur-
chasing votes Others are said to
have been raid for the time they |
lost. Several witnesses were exam |
ined by the states attorney before
Judge Mower, but as the investigation
was a secret affair the result is not yet
made public. From the outside it is
said the whole affair is Just person
al spite and was brought about to get
even with somebody. How the parties
voted who were remembered with free
dinner tickets is uncertain. This
much is certain, a big expense has
been put upon the state of Vermont by
this investigation"
Titcomb Revises Game Laws.
J. w. Titcomb of Lyndonville, COM
| of fSh
had a complete revision of the fish and
game laws of the state made in accord
ance with the most advanced ideas in
regard to such legislation, and the re-
vision has only been made after full
correspondence with states that have
recently revised their fish and game
laws or enacted new laws. This re-
vision will take the form of bill, to
be substituted for the present chapter
on that subject, and will be ready for
presentation to the committee when
the legislature meets. The present
chapter relating to fish and game is
piece Of patchwork, of contradictory or
confusing enactments, so that there
are few men in the state who really
understand what the provisions of the
Vermont statutes are. 1t is hoped
, that this complete revision may have
,, such careful consideration and may be
, so modified to meet the needs or de-
sires of various sections, if adopted,
y that it will be free from amendment
z for some years to come.
