The persons responsible for the
report appearing in many papers to
the effect that G. A. Prouty was
awaited upon by Republicans from
Orleans county ought to be ham-strung.
Prouty distinctly states that his nomi-
nation must be "nonpartisan. That's
strictly the kind of a club Orleans
organized and that's exactly the kind
of delegation that awaited upon Mr..
Prouty at Burlington. The first man
that tries to claim Prouty or the Prouty
movement as theirs, Republican.
Progressive or Democrat, ought to be
shunted overheard.

A Newport gentleman, recently said
that Barton was trying to "hog"
things in this end of the county be-
cause it had been mentioned that we
had very suitable man for senator.
What have we ''hogged." kind friends?
Barton went into the last county con.
gention with A. delegates and never
asked for single, indentical office.
And speaking of "gobbling" things
was there ever an Office belonging to
any territory in the north end that
Newport did not look at with envy?
That town can't even let the side
:judgeShip remain in its proper locality
without trying to "swipe" it. Barton
does not have to have any county
office. but we appreciate little sober
consideration at the hands of Newport.

The Monitors question of a few
weeks ago as to whether it is true or
not that Vermont's State prison is so
crowded that pardons must be granted
before new committals can be accom-
modated has brought out some interest
ing comment on the Subject. Per-
haps the most interesting and authori-
attive mention of the subject comes
from the Windsor Journal. The Jour-
nal says:
According to the information which
comes to the Journal there are 204
cells in the Vermont State Prison, of
which 2O2 are now occupied. In the
women's quarters there are crowded
into half dozen rooms 81 prisoners.
three of whom came last week. An
other addition to the number of female
inmates will be made when a woman
recently sentenced arrives from Bur.
lington. Yes, there is chance for
Improvement which even a change OF
superintendent will not bring about.
