Montpelier. April 1.-THE more
one analyses the recently-adopted
Vermont primary law the more
one becomes convinced that the
drafters of the act either attempt
ed to Guido the efforts of the man
who evolved the famous Chinese
puzzle or else the trainers of the
measure were working along we'll
defined lines to disgust the Yer
mont proletariat with primary
lawc.
Study of the new act discloses
the fact that every signer of pc
tition to have a mans name appear
upon a primary ballot as a candi-
date for Office must not only stand
as a sponsor for the prospective
candidate but he must make oath
before a notary public, justice of
the peace or town clerk.
1t has been suggested that at
the usual fee of 25 cents for
notarial witnessing of an oath the
primary act will set back each can
didate for state Offices 1925 simp-
ly to get his petition before Sec
rotary of State Bailey
The petitioners must give their
occupation and certify under oath
that they believe the man of their
choice is especially qualified for
the public service.
The petition, which the law says
must be signed in the presence of
some official authorized to admin.
lister oaths, is not designed after
the form of blanket insurance
policy. A single petition must be
used by each signer as the form
is so ingeniously devised that
only one voter can sign petition.
The notary public. town clerk
or justice of the peace in attest
ing the oath of petitioners must
personally know the signers or
the friend or the prospective can
didate won't find his name on the
supplication to be made to the sec
rotary of state.

Glastonbury, April 12.-The new
primary law wipes the democratic
party off the slate in Glastonbury
so far as having a candidate for re-
preventative to the General Assem-
bly, unless at least 20 per cent of
the republican voters recorded two
years ago undergo a change of
heart. The law requires that petit
lions for candidates for office must
be signed by members of the same
political persuasion as prospective
candidates. The classic utterance
1T can't be did" applies to condi
tons in Glastonbury whose voting
strength is six.
There is only one democrat in
Glastonbury according to the Off
cial returns of the last state cleo
ton and if this lone individual
wishes to enter contest with the
five other voters in town, all re-
publicans according 10 the latest
official figures, he would have to
sign his own petition for place
on the primary ballot and the law
won't permit him to make oath to
being the best man for Glasten-
bury to send away for a winters
sojourn at the state capital.
If one republican should for
swear allegiance to his party and
make oath that the lonesome demo
crat was the proper man to repre-.
sent Glastonbury in the next SEES
sion OF the Legislature the demo-
crat could have his name printed
on the primary ballot as d candi,
date for the suffrage of the six
voters OF the town. including. of
course, his own vote.
This possible action upon the
part OF a deserter from the repub-
lican ranks would save the demo-
crat party in Glastonbury as such
republican deserter, If he allies
himself with the single democrat,
constitutes three per cent" of the
number OF men who cast vote
for governor in this town at the
last election for town represent
ative.
Such an act of desertion upon
the part of Glastonbury repub-
lican would increase the strength
of the democratic party in this
town 100 per cent and reduce the
strength of the republican party
here 20 per cent
All these strange things are
possible because Glastonbury has
six voters-at least there was that
number in 1914

The Rutland Herald, generally known
and considered the personal organ of
wealth, privilege and corporation in
terests in Vermont, made a valiant at
tempt to persuade the voters of YER
mont to defeat the direct primary at
the March election.
The voters refused to be fooled by
the Herald bunk and adopted the law
by a good majority. Since the law
went into effect the Herald has printed
every few days something invented by
itself or by somebody else seeking to
discredit the law before it is even
tried. Below are given two of the Her
