Peculiar Political Times.
One of the most remarkable features
of this years voting in Vermont was
the overturn in the northeastern corner
of the state. Always rock-ribbed
Republican heretofore, it withstood
the assault of the formidable Clement
movement ten years ago with scarcely
break, but this year the Democrats
and Bull Moosers have raised hob
with it. The Democrats carried Cal
edonia and Essex counties on the state
vote, while the Progressives bore off
the palm in Orleans county Mean
while some of those west side counties
that went daffy over Clement are trot-
ting level now.-Randolph Herald.
A Contested Election.
Word comes from ST. Johnsbury that
there may be a contest in the legisla-
ture on representative from that
Dr. Aldrich was at the time of his
election-he resigned the next day,
thus showing that he recognized the
point a member of the board of
pension examiners for the county of
Caledonia. This office is claimed to be
one created directly by Congress and
which office is one of profit and trust
under the authority of Congress and
it's holder can not, by the constitution
of Vermont, serve as legislator The
constitution is explicit on this point.
How Dr. Aldrich's resignation after
election affects the matter, as a legal
proposition, we do not know.-Bur-
| lington News.
Political Pointers.
/ Now if T. r. would only produce
| that letter from Governor Haines of
Maine in which he promised to come
| out for the ColOnel-the letter that the
! Colonel says he got and that Haines
says he never Wrote-T. R. might
prove up one mans claim for ad-
mission to the Ananias club. The
Colonel carries bootleg letter file, as
it appeared in the Archbold matter,
and why he dosn't flash out the Haines
letter is mystery. Herald.
A vote for Roosevelt is a vote for
Wilson vote for Wilson is vote for
hard times a vote for Taft is one for
revival Of prosperity and an enormous
expansion of industrialism. Take your
choice, Mr.. Voter, but when the inevi-
table has happened, do not pretend
that you were not wise to the situa-
ton. Springfield Reporter.
In the Line of Progress.
The killing of man and his wife at
a railroad crossing in Caledonia county
that was known as a ''blind" crossing
is only another evidence of the wisdom
of the law recently enacted by which
these dangerous places are gradually
being eliminated The only regret is
that there is not enough readily avail
able money to do away with them
faster But the good work is under
way, the state, the town, and the rail
road are paying their fair share ir
each instance, and so far general dis
position to cooperate in supplying ar
acknowledged need has made the
change from old conditions compare
lively easy. This law was passed by
Vermont six years ago.

party was organized.
A vote for Mr.. Roosevelt in 1917
was too late for it,
There are others.-St Adams Mes

Differences.
Undoubtedly there are a good many
people who are being influenced by
Roosevelt's dashing campaign methods
his reckless statements and his inces
