The Monitor would like to ask why
there are so few deer in Orleans
county? Are they taken out of season
to greater extent here than else
where? Do fewer persons hunt them
here than in other parts of the state?
Are we poorer hunters? Do dogs chase
them out Of the territory? Who has
an answer? Let some hunter or game
enthusiast say. The report to State
Fish and Game Commissioner Titcomb
shows that Orleans county has killed
fewer deer since 1897 when they were

While Vermont is discussing the

there is a discussion in the national

which has been brought to the from
by Senator C. S. Page of this state.
AS result of Mr.. Pages bill COM
mission was appointed by the president
to investigate the matter and report.
That commission has reported and
another vocational bill before congress
may be the result In broad sense
there is very close parallel between
the aim of this national bill and the
recommendations of our own special
educational commission.

"Safety first" suggests red mack
NAV for the deer hunter who desires
to return unshot to civilization
Rutland Herald.
Since 1908 two persons have been
fatally shot while deer hunting in this
state. The Monitor ventures no other
outdoor sport with an equal number of
participants has had so few fatalities
in that time Can baseball, skating,
fishing. autoing, canoeing, swimming.
or even coasting showsa better record?
The fact is, it's the fellow who never
goes out and actually knows nothing
about the circumstances that is so
awfully scared. We do not minimize
the actual danger, however, and advise
every precaution. but these hyste ricaI
announcements seen every day in the
paper make fellow smile.
If Gallinger of New Hampshire,
Penrose of Pennsylvania, Dillingham;
of Vermont and several other United
States senators had been returned by
their respective legislatures instead
of by direct vote Of the people there
would have been a howl from the
Atlantic to Pacific about fraud and
undue influence being exerted over the
bodies electing them AS it is, the
people put them in office by decisive
majorities. The Monitor cannot help
feeling, however, that for the future
of the Republican party the return of
these men and many of the congress-
men, such as Uncle Joe Cannon, means
trouble ahead. While Republican, the
Monitor sees beyond party ties to some
extent and believes there are cases
where some old line Republicans can
be bettered upon.

L
torney. is to contest the election of F.
T. Butler of that place as town rep
resentatlve. The question arises Yer
the Interpretation of one of the acts Of
1912. Mr.. Amey had the greatest
number of votes on the first ballot and
also on the second and third but on the
fourth Mr.. Butler with the combined
Progressive and Democratic strength
received five more votes than Mr..
Amey. Other contests are sure to
arise should decision be rendered
that the first and not the fourth ballot
determined the election. The act
reads:
IF no person has a majority of the
votes given, the presiding officer shall
so inform the freemen and another
balloting shall be had. a reasonable
time only being given for receiving
and counting the votes; and ballotings
shall be continued. until an election is
ballot the person first receiving the
largest number of votes shall be de-
clared elected"
The question is, will this act be
interpreted as meaning that a fourth
ballot shall be taken or not. A fourth
ballot is not mentioned and no provis-
ion is made for fourth ballot. One
reading easily makes it appear that
after three ballots the person that first
got the largest number of ballots shall
be declared elected. On the other
hand it is thought the intent of the
legislature was that the fourth should
be the determining ballot. Glover is 9
case where the first ballot would give
the town a different representative
than the one declared elected on the
fourth ballot.
