SENATOR PAGES REELECTION
Do the People Desire His Return
to the Senate

The Lyndonville Union-Jour-
nal sent out letters to several
thousand prominent Vermonters
asking their opinion as to public
on the United States
question.
The first returns, being those
up to the time the IN
ion-Journal first went to press
after the sending out of these
letters, showed the following re-
suits at the end Of the first week:
For Senator Page .3,241
For Ex-Gov. Fletcher go. sc
At the end of the second week :
For Senator Page 1928
For Ex-Gov. Fletcher -. 121
Some Of the newspapers of
the State, in commenting upon
the extraordinary preponder-
ence of Page preference, have
been inclined to question the
fairness of this test vote, the
Montpelier Argus going to the
extent Of intimating that the
letters were only sent to the per.
sonal friends of Senator Page.
Here is its language:
Zone paper asserts that the
list of names was made up Of
Page supporters, and that Sc
went over to the enemy"
The Bennington Banner SEEM
ed to believe that the preferences
for Ex-Governor Fletcher rep
resented the few weeds which
had found their way into Sena-
tor Pages political garden.
Here is its language:
"The Lyndonville Journal has
been taking a straw vote of a
selected list of Page supporters
and find that SO Of them have
gone over to Fletcher. Fire
and furies! Isn't there any
way to keep the weeds out of
our garden 2"
In view of these suggestions
it is perhaps best to quote what
the editor Of the Union-Journal
has to say with reference to the
class Of persons to whom these
letters were sent. Here is what
the editor says:

koenig, master of the German sub
marine deutschland. Is preparing to
leave port on his return voyage within
ten days.
Captain Koenig expressed satisfaction
tonight when informed that three Am
eriCan naval officers, who to-day in
spected the Deutschland to determine
her status, had reported In effect that
not only was she an unarmed merchant
vessel now, but was so constructed that
she could not ne converted into a war

Captain Koenig said he could only
reiterate that the Deutschland. like
other submarines built or building for
Germanys new undersea merchant feet,
was designed solely as a freight car

the world.
Tho torpedo being a submarines es-
scutal weapon to make her effective
Ias a war craft, it was the possibility
that the Deutschland might be pierced
for torpedo tubes that was the chief
.concern of the American naval officers,
headed by Captain c. f. Hughes, who
inspected the vessel to-day Not only
were none found but an examination
of the forward part Of the vessels hull
where torpedo tubes naturally would
be located revealed. it was learned,
that the structure was not substantial
enough to contain them. Before the
Deutschland would be armed like a
German naval submarine, entire re-
construction forward would be neces-
sary.
Captain Hughes and his associates
were given the entire freedom of the
ship and there was no space within
the interior that they did not explore.
The Deutschland's commander was
not present during the examination.

asked for six weeks ago when a strike
was deferred, under an agreement with
the officials panding the arrival of,
and action by the federal arbitrators.
The patience of the men became ex-
hausted, it is claimed, bv reason of al

were also made that the wages of some
employees is being cut and the foremen
are circulating agreements for others
to sign, reducing their wages. 1t is
also alleged that large numbers Of
foreigners, coming over the trail are
given work while former employees are
