DO the People Desire his Return

CARNATIONS"
Let Us analyze this matter n little
more closely What class Of persons
in Vermont is il that, to the extent Of
more than 30 out Of every 81, believe
that public sentiment is for the re-
turn of Senator Page? Let us see
what grounds for complaint, II any,
the friends of Governor Fletcher prop
erly have against the class Of individ-
uals to whom this test vote was re-
ferrtd.
Governor Fletcher was member Of
the Legislature, either in the capacity
of Representative, Senator, or Cover
nor, from October, 1902, to January.
1915. During 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 gubernatoriaI
Office filled 1S9 appointive positions.
On the other hand since 1908 Sen
ator Page has been in attendance upon
his duties at Washington, Only once
during that whole period has he left
the Senate while Congress was in SEES
sion, to meet and make the acquaint-
ance of his constituents, not that he
would not have been very much pleas
ed to do so, but rather because he felt
that he could not do so without neg
lect of duty His lack of personal
touch and contact with his constituents
has been regarded by many as his
chiefest fault, but be that as it may,
everyone understands 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
,ome into close personal touch with
he people of Vermont, and under the
most favorable conditions, Senator
Page has been deprived of this great
privilege.
How then can it be truthfully said

A CATARACT may be a miniature

A human cataract IL a serious condi-
ton associated with a faulty condition
, OF the lens OF the eye. Three kinds OF
cataract may occur. One happens just
| before birth and Is called congenital:
another Is inherited. and the third is
acquired by accident or disease. Any OF
these forms may be delayed in their
appearance until late In life.
In the healthy eye, the lens-which
] corresponds somewhat In shape and
I position to a camera lens-has delicate,
transparent fibers glued together like
layers Of an onion. Anything which in
terferes with smooth and perfect con-
tact of these fibcrs removes the trans

scientific workers found that the on
