shall be called, as provided by exist
ing laws. not later than fifteen days
before the election. In case such
caucus is held, the nomination shall
be made by ballot conforming as far
as is possible to the primary plan

Intoxicating liquor or anything of val

500 or imprisoned not more than six
months or both. Evidently this pro-
vision does not make it an offense to
give money, intoxicating liquor, or
anything Of value for a PERSONS vote
or the acceptance of such gift by a
voter, but if a voter suggests he be
given something for his vote he is liza
BILE to punishment.
Without further comment we leave
this statement concerning the law for
the voter to consider and decide for
himself whether he shall vote YES
or NO.

Last Weeks Elections.

Last weeks EleCC1OnS.
Vermonters were much interested
in the results of the elections held in
ten different states last week Tuesday,
although nothing but state issues were
involved. Some of the most signifi-
cant results were the overwhelming
defeat of woman suffrage in the states
of Massachusetts,. New Work and
Pennsylvania, the three states voting
on that issue. Such decisive MAORI
ties against it seem to indicate the
futility of pushing the issue further
in the eastern states at present.
The convincing defeat of the con-
stitutional amendments in New York
is a disappointment to those who be-
lieve in a more concentrated and di-
rectly responsible government. The
excellent proposals of amendment
were the work of strong political and
public leaders like Ex-Sen. Root, Seth
Low and many progressive men of
later generation and they show how
much better honest ability can serve
the public than the popular vote in
such an important undertaking. The
big men of the state attempted to re.
lieve the state from the control of po-
litical patronage and the irresponsible
expenditure of public monies but the
people voted against it.
In every state increased strength
of the republican party was clearly
shown and the minimum effect of the
tramp political movements of recent
years clearly indicates the country re-
cognizes the democratic and republi>
can policies as the only real issue be-
fore the country and a distinct trend
in favor of the republicans. In Mas
sachusetts the prohibition party cast
an usually large vote but it did not
approach a political victory. In facl
it only demonstrated the folly of the
be as complete as that OF the progress
sive party.
Most interesting to the Vermonter
is the election of Samuel w. Mccall
him was assigned the task of uniting
the voters of Massachusetts, under the
republican banner and winning a re-
publican victory. The difficulty of
his task is shown by larger vote for
Governor Walsh than the vote which
elected him in 1914 and the unprece-
IDENTIFY large prohibition vote. Mr..
McCalPs success is shown in securing.
with one exception, the largest vote
for a republican candidate for COVER
plurality was small, 6,6O6, but his to-
tai vote, 235,91S, was enormous for
an off year.
We repeat that the results are a
of President Wilson. He
has not lost his power but he has
stepped upon the slide. His failures
and reverses of position and his ex-
hibition as silly lover almost before
the flowers had wilted on the grave
of the loyal wife who had labored
with him while he was in the MAX
ing are not approved by the Ameri- |
can public. The opportunity before
the republicans to utilize the power
they have gained for the promotion of
good government is great. If utilized
to the best advantage it will make vic
tory in 1916 sure. With his wide ex-
perience, his unquestioned ability and
liberal views Samuel w. Mccall may
become a national figure in leading
