W oliver Reviews Vermont's Past
In Order to Foretel Her Future

I The Maine situation is a good dea
like that in California. Maine sent d
republican delegation to Chicago's
first convention that was solid for
Roosevelt. 1t was just as ready to &c
over to the progressive party as an.
other delegation there. But while the
Chicago convention was going on, tn.
states primary election was held and
solid ticket Of progressives wax
nominated.
Truce Until September.
| Promptly these nominees begged
that there should be no third party
movement in their state--that would
divide their support and make their
election utterly impossible. The
keep out of the state with the pro-
gressive party until after the Sep
tember election. This left the field
for the progressives to run on the
republican ticket and put up some
thing like a united front.
| After the Maine election the pro
gressive party is expected to get into
Der polling Thus the Vermont cleo
| ton. with three tickets in the field,
will give better line on the compare
| tive strength of the three parties than
will Maine; but on the other hand,
this is not regarded as very accurate
)y indicative of sentiment at large,
because Vermont has been so far be-
hind the procession of insurgency and
rrogressivism.
True. Vermont has been the tradi-
tional political barometer. 1t almost
always tips the direction of the ma
tional campaign. They say that If Yer
mont gives a republican governor
less than $4,000 plurality in Septem-
Der the country will elect a democra-
tic president in November. 1t first
reused the country in 1876 to the
fact that Tilden was likely to be elect
ed by giving the republican guberna-
torial candidate only 23.735 plurality.
From that day republicans were
scared and democrats proclaimed
that Tilden would win.
When Dope Failed.
In 1864, Vermont went all wrong.
The republicans carried it by only
10000 in September That meant
that Mcclellan was due to be elected
in November. but he wasn't. Still,
1t wasn't Vermont's fault. Between
the date of the election in Vermont
and Of the national election in No
vember, the union armies in the field
carried the country.
Sherman captured Atlanta: Sheri-
dan swept the Shenandoah valley and
won the battle Of Cedar Creek. The
north just Topped over to the re-
publican side and ratified these do
ings by re-electing Lincoln. Nobody
was more surprised at 1t than Old
Abe himself. who about this stage

FREIGi|I RATES
ARE SUSPENDED
Investigation Will be Made
by I. c. c. Before Lirnita-
ton on December 81.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The increas-
ed freight rates proposed by trans
continental railroads for the trans
portation of commodities from eastern
points to Pacific coast terminals. were
suspended today by the interstate COM
merce commission from September 2
until December 21. pending an inves-
tigation.
The tariffs suspended proposed a
general increases of practically all
commodity freight from Atlantic sea-
board and middle west points of origin
to destinations on the Pacific coast
ranging from five to fifty per cent. In
most instances they were affected by
existing commodity rates. thus auto
matically transferring the commodi-
tives to higher classification scale of
charges. While in some instances the
charges to inter Rocky mountain sta
tions would be reduced. checking by
the commission appears to indicate
that the reductions would apply to
little more than ten per cent of the
west bound traffic.
1t is expected the commission be
compelled finally to dispose of the
case by the expiration of the period Of
suspension.
