laws, shorter sessions, and economy SO
far as it would not impair the service of
the people. / was elected and made every
effort to carry out the trust that had been
placed upon me, being present at every
morning, afternoon evening session.
The records show that in 1912. 537 bills
were passed. in 1915, only $50; the length
of the session of 1912, ll9 days; in 1915
only SO days. As a member of the COM
mittee on final adjournment l did my
part to contribute to this result.
While no step backward was taken in
the liberal policy of our state toward her
institutions economy was practiced and
the people were relieved of the burden of
a special tax. ! am opposed to incorpor-
ating into our laws measures which are
sure to be repealed at following session

money. However, if elected, | will give
my hearty support to all measures that
consider for the best interests of our
county and state.
believe it possible to accomplish the
work of the coming session in 20 days or
less and representatives should be elected
with that point in view. We should keep
in mind the states duty to the families of
her patriotic sons who are doing duty at
the front. We should continue our policy
for better roads, especially the secondary
lines and those of the rural districts, and
we should conserve our natural resources
of every kind.
l shall appreciate the support of those
who are in sympathy With these policies.

1t is undoubtedly true, as stated by
President Samuel ,Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of labor, that never be-
fore in the history of the world were so
many people employed at such high wages
and under such excellent conditions as is
the case in the United States today. But
what is the reason? An immense number
of men are employed in the United States
because millions of men in Europe have
been taken out of the industrial employ
ment to engage in the destructive EN-
ployment of war. We are performing pro-
ductive work for them while they are en-
gaging in destruction. Moreover, the war
has shut off immigration and caused thou
sands of foreign born residents of Amer
lea to go home, with the net result of re-
ducing our population ,250,OOO below what
1T would have been under normal condi-
tions.

Gently that it is thought the estimates

1t appears that there are still few peo-
pie who do not understand the direct
primary and particularly its relation to
the senatorial contest, says the Benning
ton Banner. The chief point is that the
nomination this year is to be made by di
rect vote instead of by convention The
primary takes place on Tuesday, Sept. r.
On that day every voter has the privilege
of going to the regular polling place in
his town and voting for who he wants as
the candidate of his party. In the sena-
torship matter the three names, Page
Fletcher and Gates, will be on the Repub-
lcan ballot and every voter of that party
can vote for his choice for the Office of
United States senator The one who gets
the most votes will be the Republican
nominee and his name will appear as the
Republican candidate on the ballot at the
general election in November. The party
candidates for governor, member of con
gress, state and county officers will be
chosen in the same way by direct vote in.
stead of by caucus and convention, This
putting of the nominations in the hands
of the voters is why the senatorial candi-
dates and others are putting their case
directly before the people instead of try
ing merely to get the help of the politi-
clans as in previous campaigns. Every
voter has chance to vote directly for
he candidates of his choice under the di-
rect primary law.
