STATE CHAIRMAN HAS PLAN TO
ASCERTAIN REPUBLICAN SEN.
TiMENT REGARDING
PRESIDENCY

AS result Of the Initiative of W. f.
Knox. chairman OF the Republican
state central committee. and editor Of
the 500 News, the preference of over
half of the Republican voters of the
state in regard 10 the presidential
| nomination may be learned The state
committee is opposed TO any form of
presidential primary not having the
sanction Of the law, and as there Is to
be no special session OF the legislature
this year il will not be possible TO have
a presidential primary law enacted.
Therefore IL the desire of the masses
of Republican voters is TO he learned
II will have to be found In some infor-
NAL manner.
The plan Mr. Knox is working on Il

2,195 GO FISHING.
Lure of Hills and Streams Enriches
State Golfers.

The call of the mountain streams
and the pine-scented hillsides has
caused 2,195 people to part with the
necessary one dollar to obtain fish
ing or hunting license that they may
be permitted to follow their inelina-
tions This amount was the record
at the first OF July and since that
time it is estimated that 500 more
have followed the call of the wild.
Another 500 is expected before Au-
gust /, when the deer season opens.
The total number of licenses last
year was in excess of 5000, and
though the present registration is a
little in arrears, the county clerk
deputies assign the cause to the fact
that there mas not been enough
warm weather to cause the citizens
of the different cities to feel the
need of vacation.

COMMISSION IN DANGER
Railroad Case Brief Declares Laws
Are Void.

Montpelier, Nov. 13.-It became
known here today that the brief sub
mitted for the Rutland railroad in the
case of George W. Sabre VS.. the llut-
land and Central Vermont railways
involves the contention mat lns
whole existing public service com
mission laws are void. If this argu-
ment succeeds, it will at one fell
stroke abolish the public service com
mission. The railroad does not con-
tend that the State does not need a
public service commission, but argues
that owing to the confusion of judic-
II and executive powers vested in
the same body, the commission, as it
exists at present, is not in conformity
with the principles of the State and
national constitutions. 1t is doubtful
if any such far-reaching principle
has been raised in Vermont in many
years.
The Sabre case which was to have
come up for argument before the SUI
preme court this afternoon arose with
the filing of a petition by citizens of
Alburg to have the railroads con-
struct and operate gates at a cross
ing. A hearing was had before the
public service commission on Noyem-
Der 16, 1911. Later the commission
is alleged to have sent man to Al
burg to gather evidence.
In June, 1912, the commission is
sued an order directing the railroads
to construct and operate the desired
gates. The railroads promptly APP
pealed from the order of the com
| mission to the supreme court.
At this afternoons hearing the at
torney-general, appearing on behalf
of the commission, stated that he had
not had sufficient opportunity to ex-
anime into the broad question raised
I, by the defendants brief. He con-
tended that these questions did not
come within the case and asked to
have it decided first whether or not
they did and then If necessary to
have them argued and passed upon.
The court decided to postpone the
case until the January term when the
whole case will be taken up.
