Strong Men Wanted

The Burlingt OH Free Press. in its lead
ing editorial Tuesday speaks at length
upon "the next legislature and the kind
| of men needed In the article it states
that Judge Weeks of Middlebury lis be-
ing urged to allow the use of his name as
candidate for reelection to the House
of Representatives" nddwells upon the
splendid work that the judge has hereto
fore done in that body.
If we mistake not, Judge Weeks has
been in the House twice and in the SEN
ate twice. He was strong man in all
of those sessions and his town in urging
him again shows its good sense and de-
sire to continue to be ably represented.
1t is hoped he will accept the nomination.
Judge Weeks has done valiant work for
the state and it has been done in his quiet
and transformations way-as Republi-
can, not as Republican with any pre-
fixes or annexes, but as an adherent to
the principles of the grand old party
the party of Lincoln, Grant, Mckinley
and Morrill,. Judge Weeks has splen.
did record "and the end is not yet"
The Free Press is everlastingly right in
saying that strong men are needed in
the Legislature and that able men should
be returned. Not until the towns get
the habit OF selecting their best men and
returning them will Vermont have an
deal legislature.

The Waning Bull Moose

Representative E. P. Jose of Johnson
casts disturbing boulder into the seren.
ity OF the progressive pond by declaring
that Mr. Prouty is Republican to the
core, a business worshipper, perhaps
more honest than some of them but still
on guard for the business interests of the
country"
He insists that the accused "has no
heart in the great big cardinal principles
OF the progressive party" - whatever
they are-and further insists that "our
so-called leaders are ashamed to put up
progressive for office because he may not
wear clean linen and creased trousers"
"a grimy machinist from the Winooski
wooden mills may be the Abraham Lin
coin of DR.. Jackson's Dreams" insists
Mr.. Jose.
All of which is impressively character
istic of the situation in the progressive
ranks, the leaders OF which have ineffect-
ually drummed the state from West
Berkshire to Pownal and from North
Derby to Vernon in search of candidates.
There is no more coherency in the Bull
Moose today than there was at the
tower of Babel. On one side are the
leaders" and selfappointed Greathearts
of the 60 h. p. pilgrimage. They repre-
sent very small proportion Of the
crumbling progressive party, and the
party itself has degenerated into an army
of generals without enough privates and
officers to 60 around.
On the other side are the men who con-
stituted the backbone and brains of the
progressive movement and who are
merely waiting the announcement of
Republican leader and platform worthy
of their support so they can take charge
OF he party they belong to and make it
what it ought to be. Political history is
making very fast these days.-Rutland
