Saw Recruiting Is DELAYED.

From a story originating in Mont
pelier and according to the story of
four recruits, William Carlo, w. E.
Clark, Private Demell and William ].
Belotte, who returned to Montpelier
the latter part of the week the ex-
aminations at Camp Gates are being
delayed so that the recruiting officers
get employment out of the men who
have been sworn into the federal SER
vice. They also claimed that they did
not have enough to eat and had to
work hard while they were there.
Col o. D. Clark and Capt. w. A. Pat
tee, formerly officers in the First Yer
mont Infantry, went to Burlington
Wednesday to conduct an investigation
at the request Of the Montpelier or
ganization relative to the truthfulness
of the conditions reported at Camp
Gates.

FoIlTIoAL ADVERTISING POLITICAL ADVERTISING
SENATOR PAGES REELECTION
Do the People Desire His Return
to the Senate?

The Lyndonville UniOn-Jour7,ol
sent out letters to several thousand
prominent Vermonters asking
their opinion as to public senti-
ment on the United States Sen
atorship question.
The first returns, being those
received up to the time the Union
journal first went to press after
the sending out of these letters.
showed the following results at the
end of the first week:
For Senator Page 3241
For Ex-Governor Fletcher sc
AT the end of the second week:
For Senator Page 1925
For Ex-Governor Fletcher 121
Some of the newspapers of the
state, IN commenting upon the ex-
traordlnary preponderance of
Page preference, have been inclin-
ed to question the fairness of this
test vote, the Montpelier Argus go
ing to the extent of intimating
that the letters were only sent to
the personal friends of Senator
Page. Here is its language:
One paper asserts that the list
Of names was made up of Page
supporters and that sc went over
to the enemy"
The Bennington Banner seemed
to believe that the preferences for
Ex-Governor Fletcher represented
the few weeds which had found
their way into Senator Pages
political garden. Here is its Ian
guage:
"The LyndOnUiUe Journal has
been taking a straw vote of
selected list of Page supporters
and find that Sc of them have gone
over to Fletcher. Fire and furies
Isn't there any way to keep the
weeds out Of our garden?"
In view of these suggestions it
is perhaps best to quote what John
B. Chase, the editor of the Union
Journal, has to say with reference
to the class of persons to whom
these letters were sent. No one
has and we think no one will pre-
sumo to question the integrity of
Mr.. Chase, than whom no Vermont
editor ranks higher for candor and
veracity. Here is what he says:
"How the list Of names sent out
was made up is stated below.
Whether it is or is not a fair list
the readers may judge; we simply
give the facts.
First, it contained the names
of living members of the Legisla-
lures from 1910 up to the present
time, between 700 and 800 in all.
SIT contained the names of
every physician, lawyer, minister
Of the gospel, and the greater part
of the leading business men, and
town officials, in each town, and
county and state officials from 1910
up to the present time.
Speaking generally, the list
was made up, to a quite consid-

cradle extent, from names fonnd
IN Walton s Vermont Register
from 1910 forward, as well as from
rosters OF Grand Army Posts
Oranges and other fraternal orr
CARNATIONS.
Let us analyze this matter a LITTLE
more closely. What class of per-
sons IN Vermont is it that. to the
extent OF more than 80 out of every
81, believe that public sentiment
is for the return of Senator Pages
Let us see what grounds for com
plant, if any, the friends of
Governor Fletcher properly have
against the class of individuals TO
whom this test vote was referred.
Governor Fletcher was a men,
Der of the Legislature, either in
the capacity of Representative.
Senator, or Governor, from Octo-
Der, 1902, to January, 1915. Dur
ing all these years he was forming
close personal acquaintance with
the different members of these
Legislatures, and for the two
years of his incumbency of the
gubernatorial office filed 189 an
pOintive positions.
On the other hand since 1908
Senator Page has been in attend
ance upon his duties at Washing
ton. Only once during that whole
period has he left the Senate while
Congress was in session, to meet
and make the acquaintance of his
constituents, not that he would not
have been very much pleased to.
do SO, but rather because he felt
that he could not do so without
neglect Of duty. His lack of per-
sonal touch and contact with his
constituents has been regarded by
many of his chiefest fault, but be
that as it may, everyone under
stands that it is usually safe to
assert that when the Senate is in
session Senator Page can be found
at the National Capitol.
In brief, while ex-Gov. Fletcher
has had every opportunity to
meet and come into close personal
touch with the people of Vermont,
and under the most favorable con-
ditions, Senator Page has been de-
prived of this great privilege.
How then can it be truthfully
said that a list comprising all the
living members Of the Legislatures
of Vermont from and including
1910 up to the present time, be-
tween 700 and 800 in all, is unfair
so far as Governor Fletcher is CON
cerned9 If unfair to any one was
it not unfair to Senator Page?
Did not Governor Fletcher have
every possible advantage over SEN
ator Page?
Finally, let us repeat as a proper
to this article the ques-
ton at its head, viz:
Do the people desire 1.
Senator Pages re-elec-
lion to the Senate?

Some very sensible suggestions
about the production of sanitary milk
were made before the health officers
school by Commissioner of Agriculture
Brigham last week. In his address he
emphasized the Importance of proper
methods rather than expensive equip
ment. Any farmer by cleanly meth
DDS can produce clean healthy milk
if he has fairly decent quarters for his
COWS and careful methods are not so
expensive as new barns. The farmers
of Vermont can produce milk clean
enough and good enough for any baby
Getty or country if they only will. If
they only will. If they would all do
it Vermont milk would bring better
prices in the big markets.

Internal Machine Found

A piece of steel about six inches
square and half inch thick with
bolts about three quarters of an
inch in diameter screwed through
i sAach corner, was found in the old
Darn near McCrea's place, Thurs
day. The steel had a slot cut
through the middle about an inch
and a half wide and three inches
long. This slot could be fitted
over the knob Of a safe and when
the bolts were frightened it would
pull the knob out of the safe.
The marks on the postoffice safe
correspond to the four bolts in the
steel so that there is no doubt that
the safe robbers used this little
machine to open the safe door.
When the knob was pulled out it
left a hole through which the nitro
glycerine might be poured.
