of the eight men who were active,
candidates for Presidential nominal
tons early in the summer. three cam
didates, representing the three leading
parties, remain to solicit the voters
support, tomorrow.
The influence of women in the cam
paign probably will be greater than
in any previous election. Each nation
al headquarters has had an organized
bureau TO appeal to women workers,
presided over by women well known
in public and social life. In the six
Western states where women will
vote-Wyoming, Utah. Colorado, Cali
fornia, Idaho and Washington-their
ballots will be an important factor in
the results. IN five other states, Arizo-
ma, Michigan, Kansas. Oregon and
Wisconsin, the right of women to vote
will be an issue ut the polls.
Fair weather is predicted for the
majority of states. The uncertainty
caused by the Third party ticket, the
more than ordinarily urgent appeal of
party managers to all voters to ''go
TO the polls and the local interest
caused by fights for state offices and
control of state machinery Indicate a
record vote in almost all sections of
the country and a popular Presidential
vote of huge proportions.

What Roosevelt Did.

Col. Roosevelt did in Illinois what be
was expected to do, and somewhat more
impressiyely than anticipated even by
his followers. The colonel's own re.
marks Of last Monday indicated clear
" that he believed that the vote would
by very close. A decisive defeat and
he might have been out of the fight
for few years. As it is, the victory
will not only strengthen him in the
convention, but may have an earlier
effect in Maine, Vermont and other
states. The moral effects should be of
far more value to Roosevelt than the
actual spoils Of war.
Ii should be remembered, however,
that the United States is not composed
altogether of states like Illinois There
are states where no Lorimer weakens
the Taft ticket There are states with
out any discredited Cannons. There are
states where there is no such maIo-
dorous mess of Republican politics that
clean men despair of good from any
thing but a complete overturn. And
there are only one or two Chicago Tri-
Dunes in the United States.
Illinois was longing for a man like
Roosevelt to come along. Without dis
paraging his victory, or shutting our
eyes to the farreaching effect it may
have on Taft, after the convention if
not before, we may still, in all fairness,
insist that the Roosevelt victory was
not for or by Roosevelt only Boston

WHAT VERMONT NEEDS.

Something as violent as the proposed
1916 exposition is needed in Vermont
if the state is to gain in popularity and
prosperity. While the rest OF northern
New England has been getting greater
and greater returns on its natural beau
ties and doing everything possible to
attract people, the Green Mountain state
has seemed lethargic and uninterested.
A succession of two or three really pro-
gressive governors would be an excellent
prelude to the big show of l9l6.-BOston
Evening Herald.
Admittedly, there is something in the
statements which are thus given by the
contemporary in analysis of Vermont's
situation; the state does need waking
up to its full possibilities as place of
great attractiveness. But perhaps the
contemporary is not aware that there is
an awakened sentiment in Vermont
which would take advantage of those
opportunities which nature has set be-
fore the state. There is. 1t is a small
beginning, to be sure; but it is hoped
that the nucleus thus started will inter.
est so many people that Vermont will
be carried into the field of activities such
as have brought riches to several other
New England states.
As for the assertion of the contempo-

School Board Publicity.

The adyisability of privacy in the
transaction of public business is serious
ly questioned. Publicity sometimes
makes it little awkward, but it assures
honest satisfaction. 1t has been Gus
tomary here. as in other cities, for the
committees of school boards to hold
executive or secret meetings, and sus-
picion has at times arisen as to the ma
ture of some of the discussions behind
the closed doors. Indeed, publicity is
most desirable in all public affairs.
In New Bedford they have decided to
stop holding secret meetings in the
school board and to give the widest pub
licity to the doings of all sub-commit-
tees. Commenting upon this action, The
Standard pertinently says:
Undoubtedly publicity of all school
board subcommittee meetings will cause
discomfort now and then to some per-
sons. But in the long run publicity in
public affairs works out better results
than secrecy, no matter whose personal
comfort is affected. A price has to be
paid for everything that is worth hav-
ing, and if sometimes the price is I'M
pleasant there seem to be no alternatives
other than paying or going without. De-
casionally, but not generally, privacy in
the transaction of public business pro
duces desirable results. IL is more like
ly, however, to give rise to abuses: and
balancing the one prospect over against
the other, the community takes fewer
undesirable chances with publicity than
with secrecy."-Concord, n. H., Patriot.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE sCoNvEN
TION.

The close of the Republican state con
vention in Montpelier finds the two
wings of the party not stirred by feeling
of rancor; in fact, for such a closely
contested convention, the warning fac
tions separated in remarkably amicablt
fashion. Latterly there has been no cry
of possible fraud from either side; ard
the convention was conducted with eqral
fairness to each side, so that it was not
possible for either to assert with any
foundation that wrong tactics were used
The convention, though drawn ont to a
wearying length, was carried through
to the finish without serious outcrop-
ping of bad temper, albeit the excite
ment was at times intense; while the
victory of the Taft supporters was so
pronounced as to admit of no doubt OF
the sentiment which instructed the dele
gates. For those reasons, the supporters
of either side of the presidential pref
erence are to be congratulated. They
carried out their own work and they
did it decently.

From Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
comes the statement that foreign pota-
toes are diseased-that is, infected with
plant disease which makes the planting
of seeds from them a precarious thing
to do, One of these diseases is potato
wart, or black scab, while the other is
spongospora seab, or tumor like growths.
Secretary Wilson reports that if the seed
from these potatoes are planted here, the
plant diseases with which they are in
fected, are likely to be established in
the United States. Therefore the great
need of precaution is apparent in the
planting of potato seeds, The native po-
tatoeS are troubled enough with infec-
tons of their own without taking on
any more.
