not be said that the Dillingham; sup
port. either immediate or remote, was
turned toward Gates. As a matter OF
fact, delegates in Washington county
were far from unanimous at the outset
for Gates. the first ballot for governor
finding the votes scattered.
Moreover. it wasn't within the power
of the Dillingham; campaign organlza-
ton to dictate The nomination OF any
candidate for governor, nor to say that
any man should not be the nominee Of
the party. As the Burlington Free Press
well saws to-day in connection with an
other consideration, "There are times
when the popular choice is so manifest
that no primary il needed to furnish an
index of public sentiment as to candl-
dates and this year was one of those
times. In the first place the expressions
of preference for governor were over.

only question being whether he would be
candidate. As soon as he had eS-
pressed his willingness to accept the
nomination, from that moment his nom
nation was practically assured, tact
which all other candidates for governor
will readily concede, and indeed have
conceded already"
The preference Of the great majority
of the delegates in the convention, un-
Influenced by all other considerations,
was for Gates, and even if Dillingham;
had joined the four avowed candidates
for governor in their efforts to prevent
Gates nomination it could not have been
stopped. Mr.. DiIlingham's friends ought

CURRENT COMMENT
A $4,000 Davenport.

An example Of Republican extrava'
gance in state expenditures is shown by
a communication printed in another col,
umn from Horse Sense This would
show that Governor Fletcher authorized
an expenditure of Ssl6,65 for elaborate
office furniture for the executive cham
Der at Montpelier. One of the items
shows that davenport cost $500 and
that chairs are put in at $4,000 with a
nice swivel chair for His Excellency at
cost of $43.
Some good Nermonters wee horrliied
that the floor sweeper should have been
paid "a day at the state capitol but
this expense was nothing as compared
with the cost of the new furniture for
the governor. Where was the state plr-
chasing agent all this time, and hoy
can Governor Fletcher face the people
and say that he has even tried to give
the taxpayers a business administration
1t is not likely that any graft or
thievery can be charged to this transao-
ton but how can the extravaganza be
iustifiedg This, though, is the price that
must be paid for Republican rule and II
the people like it they can vote for more
of il. State expenses now total very
close to two millions OF dollars annually
and if all the items could be laid bare
it is more than likely that many other
extravagant expenditures would come
to Burlington Clipper.

Orange county Republicans were even
more harmonious than their Washing
ton county -partisans, if such 4
thing were possible, in their county CON
vention. Moreover, the former had the
opportunity to express personally 70
Charles w. Gates their satisfaction over
his nomination for governor, Mr.. Gates
appearance there being his first since re-
ceiving the nomination. 1t is evident
from the first political visitation Of Mr..
Gates that he is just the man to solidify
the party.

We notice that Vermonts misdecds
get rather wide publicity in the news
dispatches, while good deeds are rarely
recorded. Possibly the former are so
rare that they cause amazement and
the newspapers think them of news value
for their very rarity. Still, we would
like the newspaper reading world to
know that such tragic affairs as that
at SALISBURY on Sunday are infrequent
outcroppings, and ordinarily we are a
very quiet, peaceful people.

The Belgian revival of spirits follow
ing the success of the allied armies is
one of the important lesser features OF
the war development. As long as the
Germans were sweeping over the entire
eastern coast of Europe the Belgians
were keeping rather quiet, but once the
tide of warfare turned they entered into
the movement with renewed yigor and
are harrassing the German right flank
TO considerable extent, aided, perhaps,
by Russian army of marked strength.
The Belgians have some scores to set
