Plumley and Greene.

Congressman Plumley's opponents
fall into the scattering" class. The
returns from Tuesdays caucuses in
this district indicate that he will
have BIG of the 357 votes in the con-
vention, to 90 for K. w. Gibson of
Brattleboro and 8 for f. d. Thomp-
son of Barton. Congressman Plum
ley may be a trihe conservative
his loyalty to the Payne-Aldrich tar
if law sticking in the minds of some
people TO his discredit-but he seems
to have a pretty warm following in
his district and he is not to be un-
seated at present by any aspiring
progressive"
Over in the first district Col.
Frank Greene seems to know less of
opposition than does Mr.. Plumley.
The popular St Adams editor has
been doomed almost to the exclusion
of any other candidate, and now the
Republicans rise in caucus and make
his nomination for congressman un-
animous.

The Candidates.

The Democrats of Vermont have
met in convention and named a
strong state ticket. If the situation
was strained at times, with hints of
steam-roller tactics. the convention
seems to have adjourned with much
show Of harmony and final elimi-
nation Of individual and tactional
differences. The Browne-Burke
wrangle has not yet wrecked the
party in Vermont.
Mr.. Howe, the candidate for gov
ernor, urges his party to attack the
enemy. not to await his attack, and
one effective weapon of assault, he
says, is the Republican party's tax
alton laws. There are other weap-
ons, and a united party this year
may bring to the polls respectable
OPPOSITION, one worth viewing with
alarm" as the platform makers say,
and make protest against perpetual
Republican domination that will
shake the sense of security which
has so long enwrapped the leaders of
that complacent organization in
Vermont.
The Republican nomination for
governor will doubtless fall to Mr..
Fletcher, coming to him as an in
heritance. and quite in line with old
time political customs in Vermont.
His candidacy is not one that arouses
much enthusiasm and in the nature
of things he is not going to attract
the younger element, to whom stand
pat Republicanism is not sacred
institution. and who do not share
the traditional awe of its unsatisfy-
ing leadership. The younger voters
are breaking away and to their hope
full minds there is very little to lose
in not too violent change in YER
mont.
