The Reformer editor was hampered in
doing his work this morning by an influx
.of Republican spellbinders who came in
to look over the exchanges and gather a
little new material. If anyone thinks it
an easy matter to grind out paragraphs
while Walter Bigelow is talking to Frank
Howe on one side and Jim Donoway and
Porter Dale are discussing congressional
issues on the other, let him try it.

Lieut.-Gov. Frank E. Howe, who is
spell-binding in behalf of the state
ticket, must have very poor opinion Of
the person who arranged his itinerary.
From his own county of Bennington Mr.
Howe was switched up to Georgia, in
Franklin county, for a night and then
yanked down to Windham county for a
couple of engagements with the expecta-
tion that his next jump would be to Is
land Pond. If all the other speakers in
lar manner the gross receipts of the Yer
mont railroads certainly ought to be on
the gain.

Certainly his attitude in the Foster
Prouty case last fall was not such as to
indicate extreme activity-at least not
until after there was serious talk among
county court officials OF having a special
prosecutor appointed by the governor.
Then again there are a good many people
who feel that his apparent willingness to
take the easy way out OF the Staten shoot
ing case in Vernon was not proof of ag-
gressive work in the states interests
Saving money for the state is of course a
commendable thing, but the idea should
not be carried far that a private citi-
zen is obliged to spend over 500 of his
own money in order to get together evil
denee enough to make the states attor-
ney start action in a case of suspected
burglary. This is what Mr.. Landman Of
Londonderry is said to have done, and
Candidate Hughes is making use of the
story in his campaign speeches. These
are but few of many instances where
States Attorney Piper has shown an APP
parent unwilingness to proceed in cases
! brought to his attention The county
court docket for the four terms during
his incumbency shows 36 cases in which
he has appeared as prosecutor. OF this
number 10 are still on the docket, four
have been mol pressed and FIVE tried by
Jury. OF these five Mr. Piper secured
two convictions; the other three were ac-
Iquittals. The Meddler cites these facts
for no other reason than that he dislikes
to see the claim of efficiency made when
the basis for it doesn't seem to exist
The plain fact of the whole matter is that
instead of being so efficient states attor
ney that his services ought to be retained
by the county for another two years Mr.
Piper has been much less efficient thar
many Of his predecessors, notably Robert
&c. Bacon and Frank f. Barber

1t 5 Just as hard today as it was a week
ago to get a line on the local representa-

palgn which the three aspirants are wag-

The Medder is able to ascertain none
of them is doing anything that can be
called active electioneering. To be sure.
Mr.. Perry and Mr. Roberts have presided
at rallies of their respective parties and
Mr., Crosby will no doubt serve in a SINH
lar capacity at the Null Moose talkfest
tonight, but that Is about all. Although
no one has yet had the temerity to say
which of the three is the probable winner
there plenty of folks who say that
there will be no choice on the first ballot
so it will be just as well for the friends of
the candidates to prepare themselves to
stick around until after the result of this
vote is announced Otherwise Main street
might have a more important bearing on
the outcome than some people feel it is
