Don't wait for the crowd TO go.
Walk right up and say "Hullo."
When big vessels meet they say,
They salute and sail away.
Just the same are you and me.
Lonesome ships upon the sea,
Each one sailing his own jog.
For a port beyond the fog,
Let your speakin' trumpet blow,
Raise your horn and say "Hullo."
Say "Hullo" and How d ye do"
Other folks are as good as You,

Wandering through the far away,
When you travel to that strange
Country other side the range
Then the soul you've cheered will kno

great majority of those who voted in
favor of direct primaries did not vote
no opposite preferential primaries
whatever may have been the course
adopted by those opposed to direct
nominations
This test vote having demonstrated
conclusively that the weight of public
opinion is strongly in favor of direct
nominations of candidates for public
office, there can be no further excuse
for refusal of Legislature TO pass a
law to this effect although there will
unquestionably be reluctance to sub
NIT this sacred duty to legislature
which stubbornly refused to carry out
the pledges of every political platform
formulated in a State convention in
Vermont In 1912.
Whether the people can trust q Leg
islaturc. which once betrayed them
with reference to the provision of a
system of direct nominations is a
question that will bear thorough in
vestigation. 1t is not impossible that
q canvass Of the Senate might be a
good starter toward the settlement of
this question. If a majority of the
present Senate is still opposed to di-
rect nominations the question is
whether they would give the State a
genuine direct nominations law, or
something like that which the New
York lawmakers long tried to foist up
on the people in the name of primary
reform, but which gave the party com
mittees the power to designate nomin-
ees to go on the primary ballot in
caucuses.
1t will still require vigilance on the
part of the voters of Vermont to Sc
cure what the rank and file of the
party plainly want, the right to name
their own candidates in their own
caucuses instead of delegating that
privilege to others who may misrepre.
