Press Comments on u. S.
Senator Question

1t might be said for the benefit of a few
state papers that seem somewhat anX-
ious to know what constructive legisla-
tion Senator Page has been interested in,
that he was a few years ago very much
interested in a certain senate bill which
was viz ; "a bill to cooperate with the
states in encouraging instruction in agri-
culture, the trades and industries and
home economies in secondary schools; in
maintaining instruction in these voca-
tional subjects in stateI normal schools; in
maintaining extension departments in
state colleges of agriculture and mechani-
cal arts; and to appropriate money and
regulate it's expenditure" If those who
are asking to know about his construc-
tive record, name larger measure that
would have had a more constructive tu-
ture before it than that bill. we fail to
know of it.-Hardwick Gazette.
Senator Page will in due time give to
the public some interesting facts touching
the Page Educational Bill to which the
Gazette refers.

Senator Pages Reflection


from 1910 forward, as well as
from rosters Of the Grand Army
Posts, Oranges and other frater-
nal organizations"
Let us analyze this matter a
little more closely. What class
of persons in Vermont is it that,
to the extent of more than sc
out of every 81, believe that pub
lie sentiment is for the return OF
Senator Page? Let us see what
grounds for complaint, if any,
the friends Of Governor Fletcher
properly have against the class
of individuals to whom this test
vote was referred.
Governor Fletcher was a mem
Der of the Legislature, either in
the capacity of Representative
Senator or Governor, from Octo-
Der, 1902, to January, 1915.
During all these years he was
forming close personal acquaint-
ance with the different members
of these Legisla lures, and for the
two years of his incumbency OF
the gubernatorial office filled 1S9
appointive positions.
On the other hand since 1908
Senator Page has been in attend
ance upon his duties at Washing
ton. Only once during that
whole period has he left the
Senate while Congress was in
session, to meet and make the
acquaintance of his constituents,
not that he would not have been
very much pleased to do SO, but
rather because he felt that he
could not do SO without neglect
of duty. His lack of personal
touch and contact with his con-
stituents has been regarded by
many as his chiefest fault, but be
that as it may, everyone under
stands 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 come into close person
al touch with the people of Yer
mont, and under the most favor
able conditions, Senator Page
has been deprived of this great
privilege.
How then can it be truthfullv
said that a list comprising all the
living members of the Legisla-
lures of Vermont from and in
Guiding 191Oup the present time,
between seven and eight hundred
in all is UNFAIR so far as Govern
or Fletcher is concerned? If UN-
FAIR to any one, wasitnot unfair
to Senator Page? Did not Gov
ernor Fletcher have every possible
advantage over Senator Page!
Finally, let us repeat as prop
err sequence to this article the
question at its head, viz
Do the people desire Senator
Pages reelection to the SEN
