ruled again, this time by the leglsla-
turo which by resolution, introduced
by Mr., Miller Of Bethel. calls atten-
ton to the absurdity of Attorney Gen
eral Barber's ruling that in fling pri-
mary petitionsn the number must
equal two per cent Of the vote cast
for all the candidates for three or four
different Offices in the case of the
counties which have three or four
senators. His ruling was clearly con.
trary to the wording of the law and
contrary to any fair or reasonable in
ference. It's effect was to compel can
didates for county senator in Rutland
county to get more petitions than a
candidate for governor or United
States senator. II is apparent that no
candidate for senator in Rutland
county is running for all four senator
ships and Mr.. Miller has done well to
put this clause OF the law correctly be-
fore the state. We wish 1t might have
been done earlier as Mr.. BARRIERS mis-
take has caused some hardship in
Rutland. Windsor, Chittenden and
Washington counties and has tended
to arouse criticism which was not
justified. The clause in the law is all
right, It was merely the attorney gen
erals error Of Interpretation that
| caused the trouble.
