WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Some Extra Fine Speakers.

Some Extra Fine Speakers.
Chairman Williams certainly is
planning for some extra fine speakers
when he arranges for such famous or.
ators as Gov. Hadley, Senators Borah
and Townsend, Elk Congressman
James E. Watson and Job E. Hedges
of New York for the state republican
campaign. 1t is gratifying to note
that Gov. Hadley and Senator Borah,
Roosevelt leaders, refuse to follow
the third party idea. Montpelier

Another Performer" (?)
A performer" who has lately Joined
those other true friends of the people,
Finn, Woodruff, Perkins and Lawson,
in Colonel Roosevelt's crusade against
"crooked politicians" and predatory
interests" is Ex-senator Alice of Del
aware, who will be remembered as J.
Edward Addick's coadjutor in one of
the most disgraceful senatorial scan
dals that the country has known.
Washed white, we suppose. in the
blood of the Bull Moose Randolph
Herald and News.
Sound Advice.
The republicans who run the state
government of Vermont at the pres.
ent time form rarely efficient orga-
nization. All of the departments are
we'll organized, we'll systematized and
we'll managed. The list of officials
which will challenge that of any
state in the Union include the secre.
tary of state, state treasurer, state
auditor, attorney general. superin-
tendent of education, members of the
board of health. members of boards
of penal and other state institutions
and last and by no means least, the
state tax commissioner and state
highway commissioner. All the gus
to and all the blatant talk of cam
paign cannot minimize the good work
which is making Vermont an up to
date state through the efficiency of
the men who have been developed
within the republican party and put
into the Offices which they are partic-
ularly well fitted to fill. 1t is a fair
presenta ton Of the case to urge sup
port of the state ticket this year on
the strength of the good work which
our state officials are performing.
Vermont Phoenix,
The Law of the Road.
There is one part of the ''ruIe OF
the road" of Importance to all who
travel the highways, which is perhaps
not understood as we'll as it ought tc
be. 1t is found in Act I4l, Sec. l
and reads as follows: ga persor
driving or riding a horse or other
draft animal or operating an automO
bile or motor vehicle shall, on over
hicle, when it is safe and practi
ooh 10 fn do fbn loft oI6t
thereof, and the person riding o.
driving a horse or draft animal OF
operating All automobile or motor We
hicle shall, when it is safe and prac
ticable to DO so, turn to the right 81
: as to allow free passage on the left.
q This is plain, bu it seems tina
there is either no knowledge of it o
e it is misunderstood, more especial.
n in the country districts. 1t simpl.
n means that the horse or vehicl
n ahead should always keep to tn
= right. 1t should not turn out to tn
il left so that those behind may kee
y to the right. Their place is not a
N the right. it is at the left. If Their
ts be a misunderstanding of this Their
w is opportunity for accidents. In truth
l. such misunders standing has alread
caused accidents. The man behind
expecting the man ahead to keep t
n the right, makes his turn to the left
The man ahead, not obeying the "la'
ai of the road" but not meaning an
e wrong, also turns to the left and tn
.r crash follows. For violation of thi
- section of the law there is a penalt
y of 81. But not so much to avoid
