Connecticut Like Vermont.

An attempt was made in the Con-
necticut Legislature this week to
change the system of representation
in the lower branch from town rep
resentatives to population represen-
tatives, it being proposed in bill
framed along that line to give the
city of New Haven 20 Representative
es, Bridgeport "a, Meriden 20, Water
bury is, and so on down through the
list of smaller places. But the at
tempt failed miserably by a large
margin, the small towns voting en-
masse against a system which plac-
ed the smallest on the same plane a.
the largest. Indeed, the remarkable
statement was made that in private
the people of the large cities thank
God for the protection which the
town representative system gives
That statement, If true, means that
the bulk of the population of Con-
necticut is willing to concede the
management of its affairs to the
smaller proportion; that it is afraid
OF itself.
Inasmuch as the situation in Con-
necticut is much the same as IL is in
Vermont. the words of the Boston
Transcript concerning the inequali-
ties of such a system of representa-
ton may be applicable here as well.

proper revision CT the present prepos-
teruus system of representation
would be general districting of the
state On the basis of population. 1t
is to be hoped that in time Connect
cut will rise to that level of enlight-
eminent and justice. Unless this hap
pens we do not see why the small
towns may not keep their grip on the
affairs of the state to the end of
time"
But meanwhile Connecticut, like
Vermont, will vote by fence lines
rather than by human beings. by
scenery rather than by numerical
strength.-Barre Times.

The Next Governor.

Evidently intent upon stirring up a
bit of political discussion, the Poult-
ney Journal wonders how Charles r.
Smith of Burlington would suit Yer
mont Republicans as candidate for
governor next year. and whether j.
Wesley Miller of Bethel would be ac-
ceptable TO the Democrats. We can
not Vouch for the reception Mr.. Mill
er's name would receive among the
adherents of the party just now in
power, but we do feel reasonably safe
in saying that Mr.. Smith isn't likely
to figure largely in the campaign of
1914. And this conviction is based
on knowledge Of the residence in this
state of two other men. one of whom
is Guy w. Bailey and the other Chas.
W. Gates.-Brattleboro Reformer.
