The Burlington Free Press, that good
old Republican paper Of Northern Yer
mont, is troubled over the outlook for
the G. O. p 1t reads the handwriting
on the wall that a crisis is at hand
and nothing but radical change IN
policy can save the ship. The Free
Press has summarized the steps that
can lie taken to save the wreck. There
are twelve of them. OF the dozen
two Of them have a mighty significance
in showing which way the wind blows.
For instance: Adjust Republican de-
claration Of principles to new eondi-
tions, and give progressive young men
a chance in politics. Recognition in
the selection Of all public servants that
tAy. can not serve two masters, the
public and the special interest. Isn I

Were advocating last fall and what the
Free Press was sailing at. How The
