UNITED STATES SENATE

UNITED STATES SENATE
Washington, d. c., July II, 1916
My dear sir:
! have received your letter of
July IA. You will understand of
course, that it would not be fit
ting for me, a senator from an
other state, to take sides in a
contest between Republicans, all
members of my own party, in
Vermont. But in reply to ques-
Itions you ask about Senator Page
lit is entirely proper for me to say
that ] have known Senator Page
ever since he entered the Senate
eight years ago. He and | are
friends, and my relations with
him have always been most
pleasant. He is recognized by all
his colleagues as a most hard
working, capable senator, very
industrious and careful, very
valuable and diligent member of
the committees to which he be-
longs, and he has taken a con-
spieuous part in all tariff discus
sions since he entered the Sen
ate. He is, however, particularly
identified with the bill for voca-
tional education, a measure Of
the utmost Importance, to which
he gave many months Of careful
study. Having framed the bill
he then, by his persistence and
determination, finally carried It'll
the Senate. Although
it failed in the House, this does
not in the least detract from the |
deserved distinction which Sen
stor Page earned by his admir-
able work and by his champion |
ship Of this important measure. |
His ability and activity in the .
work Of the Senate are unques-
Toned by any one who is familiar
with that body.
Very truly yours,
II. c. LODGE.

TIE .suNsETn ARGUMENT

Brother Bigclow Of the st. Johns
bury Calcdonian, in his argument for
Gov C. W. Gates for United states
senator brings up that old timc-worn
sunset" argument so frequently used
when younger men wish to I'll the
Offices Of those Of more mature and
experienced years II tallies well with
the argument Of the man who, few
years ago, would put a ban or death
sentence on all men over sixty as
being Of no earthly use. Or the Eski-
mo tribes OF the far north who killed
their old men because they failed in
physical strength. A great many men
fail physically and mentally even be-
fore the co year limit is reached.

Montpelier, VT, July IA, 1916.
Editor of Montpelier Argus:
Dear Sir: VIII you please al
low a place in the Argus for
what | have to say in regard to
the u. S. senatorial contest and
Ioblige. So much has been said in
the Argus which has been copied
mostly from other papers about
Senator Page not being Of any
account in Congress, having done
nothing in the eight years he has
been there and other things said
about him which were not very
|meritorious to say the least,
which were not true as can be
proved by what his colleagues
say Of him in Congress. What
has Senator Page done for Yer
mont? He has a large business
lin Hyde Park and employed a
good amount of help in his hide
and calfskin business for many
wears and has paid the farmers,
also others, a large amount OF
money for hides and calfSkins
here in Vermont and has paid
largely for advertising at the
same time, this is all true. What
has Ex-Governor Fletcher, who
wants to be at this time Senator,
done for Vermont? His business
has mostly been after office as
near as | can find out, and at the
present time is paying a large
amount of money for advertising
to succeed Senator Page in Con
gress, and is doing his best toI
get it. Republicans Of Vermont
viii soon decide this at the pr1-
maries. am pleased to offer as
proof what is said Of Senator
Page by one of the ablest Repub-
licans in Congress, Hon. II. G..
Lodge, in reply to a letter ! wrote I.
him for information in regard to (
Senator Pages services in con-
gress, and ask to have it printed .
in the Argus, so that Republic
cans can know the truth in re-
gard to Senator Pages services
in Congress. Having received
this reliable information from q
source which cannot well be
doubted, it seems now that Sen
ator Page is entitled to a re-elec-
ton to Congress. This is from
one that believes in a square deal
in politics as well as in business. I
Respectfully submitted,
CLARK KING.

Others do not Hundreds u our
strongest men mentally arc those Of
mature years; men who carry with
them the experience Of years, and
whose intellect never is impaired, In
the days Of powerful Rome it was the
old men who sat in the senate while
the younger men took 10 tho field.
This ia rs IL should be today. The
sunset" argument is as weak today
Ms II would have been then. There is
no sunset age 10 man while he Is
capable Of holding his own in the field
Of men. The best fighting soldier
since the world began is tho old war
Scared soldier Of an earlier day. To
such men the sunset" period comes
suddenly and ii needs no argument 20
tell when they are down and out. As
yet this sunset effulgcnce has not re-
flected over the horizon of either Sen
ator Dillingham; or Page. At least no
one has noticed il outside Of those who
would cart them out for some younger
man. And so the sunset argument
as long as there is no other, comes TO
the front. II is a mighty weak argu-
mcnt. Both Dillingham; and Page are
more capable of facing important con-
ditiors today than at any time during
their senatorial career. They stand as
giant oaks, strong and robust in the
midst Of young and wind-bending
trees. This may be a flowerly com
parison but it hits the mark, The ma
jority Of voters, as We feel inclined
10 believe, will hardly be controlled by
this sunset argument, even though
they may be great admirers Of Gov
ernor Gates.-Newport Express,

Our columns are again filed with
the advertising Of candidates Page and
Fletcher and up 10 now the journal
cannot really see any very preemln-
ent legislation that Gov, Fletcher ever
carried through that would cause the
good people Of Vermont to get up on
their hind legs and howl for his SER
vices to be transferred to Washington
from his peaceful farm in Cavendish.
A man who made as successful gov
ernor as Mr.. Fletcher's ad writers
would have US believe he made can
>carccly be spared from the state Of
which he Is so justly proud, He
should be drafted to stay at home and

Why all this hue and cry of the

feels that the interests Of Vermont are
far better conserved by its represen-
