ABOUT SENATOR PAGE
The 1916 Campaign Discussed

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
Montpelier correspondent makes the fol
lowing observations regarding Vermont
Political affairs:
The political campaign of 1916 in YER
mont will determine not only who is to
be Governor of the commonwealth. but
who is to succeed Carroll S. Page in the
United States Senate. Thus far this
matter has NOT gone beyond the question
ing stage, and at the present time it can
not be stated whether Senator Page will
or will not meet with opposition to his
return for another full term.
If ex.Gov Fletcher D. Proctor, son of
the late United States Senator Redfeld
Proctor had lived, it is probable that he
would have been elected to the Senate in
1916. He was strongly urged to be
candidate to succeed his father, and had
he consented he would have proved a very
formidable opponent for Ex-Governor
Page, but lie did not care to wage a
bitter fight for the place at that time,
and the place went to Page without op.
position.
Senator Page has been a vigorous
political warrior and has had a strong
political following in the state. He won
the governorship against the late U. A.
Woodbury. after strenuous campaign.
but when he sought an election to Con-
gress he was defeated by the late David
]. Foster in one of the most closely con-
tested campaigns ever fought IN Vermont.
Senator Page has been most active in
Congress in his support of the Page voca-
tional educational bill which has been
widely discussed throughout the country.
Conditions have changed somewhat
since Senator Page has waged a siren.
uous campaign, and new generation
has arisen. There are those who doubt
his ability in a hot fight to command the
following that supported him in the con-
tests of 1890 and 1900. The names that
are Occasionally mentioned in connection
with the senatorship include those o
Justice George M. Powers of the Vermont
supreme court; Congressman Frank l..
Greene, Secretary of State Guy w. Bailey,
Charles H. Darling, former assistant
secretary of the navy, who recently re.
tired from the position of collector of
customs for the port of Burlington; Frank
{. Partridge, president of the Vermont
Marble Co., solicitor of the state depart
ment under James G. Blaine, the later
minister to Venezuela; and Judge o. M.
Barber of the United States customs
court of appeals 1t is not known that
one of these men is a candidate for the
senatorship, or will be a candidate. and
as yet their names are mentioned only in
a casual way. There may not be the
slightest opposition to Senator Pages
election, and there may be vigorous op-
position. The events of the next few
months will determine what the result
will be-

The Prohibition Issue

Should prohibition be made party
issue in the campaign of 1916! If not
then, may a Prohibition plank be ex
pected in any of the great party platforms
four years later2
With Prohibition under daily discus
sion in America and Europe, The New
| York World sought to learn from the
leaders Of the three great political par
ties whether Prohibition is likely to be
made an issue in the next election, OF ir
the succeeding one.
Members of the Progressive party re.
sponded in great numbers to the World s
inquiry. Most OF the Progressive com.
| mitteemen's answers favor Prohibition
and few declare for Prohibition plank
in the next Progressive national plat.
form. William Allen White, the Kansas
editor, who is the Bull Moose commit
teeman from his state, is the conspicuous
dissenter He believes that if the Pro
gressives alone stood for National Pro-
hibition they would go down to worse
defeat than in last years elections in the
eastern states. Democratic replies were
against Prohibition as a party issue
Some declare it, like woman suffrage,

moral, not a political issue

who announced his return to the G. O.
P. at the beginning of the present year,
advocated Prohibition as plank for the
Republican party. So do Senators Work
of California and Clapp of Minnesota,
but both of them have been considered
more independent than Republican in

dorse an amendment submitting Nation.

What is the significance of the golden
ball, and why are there three of them |?
The three golden balls are derived
from the armorial bearings of the.
Medici family, the earliest and most
famous of the money lenders Of Lom--
hardy. This device was first used by
the agents of the Medici in London and
was afterward adopted by others. Ac-
cording to some historians, the three
balls are meant for three gilded pills,
in allusion to the profession of medi-
cine, i'll which the Medici family was
eminent and from which they derived
their name. Another version tells Of
the exploit of Averado de Medici, a.
commander under Charlemagne, who
slew the giant Muguello and whose
club he bore away as a trophy. This
mace, OF club, had three iron balls.
which the family adopted as their de-
vice.

things about them and to train them
in self reliance manhood and good citi-

boys engage in, living as much as pos

aims is good scoutcraft. The organiza-
ton is free from government support.
