CLOSER ELECTIONS FOR VERMONT.

CLOSER ELECTIONS FOR VERMONT.
A Republican newspaper in Vermont
thinks it would be to the advantage Of
the state to have a stronger Democratic
opposition. There is no doubt about
that. While the Republicans are con-
Quoting something of campaign, the
Democrats do not even seem to be going
through the motions. If Vermont could
be made closer politically there would be
a better chance for bringing about more
efficient and less costly state government,
the need for which is becoming generally
recognized Springfield Republican.
| There is no doubt that closer division
of the voting population of Vermont
would have tendency to improve certain
conditions Chief and foremost OF those
Improvements would be an imperative
demand that each party put up the best
men available rather than to pass the Of
fees around among the men Of the domi
nant party regardless OF the ability Of
the men to perform the duties of those
Offices Its So.and Sos turn is a slo-
gan that would 90 out Of existence in
Vermont except as it might be hung up
as a curious relic OF worse times Second
in Importance would be tendency to get
out greater vote, thus making the COY
eminent more vital to all the people Of
the commonwealth. Opposed to those
might be tendency for corruption to |
creep in during the fever Of the struggle |
for office; but even that evil might be /
kept down under drastic laws and proper
enforcement. while the inherent integrity |
of most Vermont people would also be
likely to discountenance any resort to
political wrong doing. So it seems that
the state would be the better off ii it |,
had some real political contests rather
than the mere procession Of the present
day.

The voters of Vermont will have seven
separate ballots handed to them when
they go to the polling places tomorrow,
and consequently the task of voting will
be somewhat more extensive than usual
A good deal of time will be needed for
the marking Of the ballots. although
there are no special propositions to be
voted for; and hence it would behoove
the voters to go to the polls as early as
possible.

FUNSTON HOLDS
CARRANzA Men
FIRED ON ARMY

BAN ANTONIO, April 13.-General
Function is very suspicious that the
citizens" who fired On the American
cavalry at Parral yesterday were Car
ranZistas. General Gutierrez made a
rather elaborate explanation that the
arrival of the Americans was sur
prise but this is regarded here as
strange in view of the fact that the
United States soldiers have been in
the Vincinity of Parral for narly a
week.
General Pershing has not yet report
ed on the Parral affray and Funston
has been unable to learn whether any
Americans or Mexicans were killed or
wounded.
General Funston expects no official
notification from Washington Of the
Carranza demand for the withdrawal
of the American troops.

America has led to the suggestion Of
a motor militia, to be armed with
machine guns, force which could be
concentrated with deadly rapidity in
case of attempted invasion.
A part of such plan would be a.
system Of paved highways Leading to
points of vantage and enabling COM
plete resistance against landing
forces at close range. These high
ways would of course be more than a
mere military investment, having all
the utility of market highways in
times Of peace.

SUSSEX ALIBI FAILS

LONDON, April 13.-That Ger
many's attempt to prove an alibi with
reference to the channel liner Sussex
had completely failed was the unani-

press and in official circles today.
The admiralty records show it is as
serted, that no other vessel was tor
pedoed in the vicinity of the spot
where the Sussex was blown up and
therefore the official statement from
Berlin conflicts with British opinion
