people of the district. To say that Dale
was a member of the state committee OF
one party back in l9DS or that he pre-.
sided over a gathering of 200 or 800 men
Is years ago, or that he wore gold braid
on a governors staff a score of years
back is not proof that Dale is known by
the common people.
However, that is not to say that the
common people of the district would not
like to see Dale and become acquainted
with him. They would like to see him;
they banker after the opportunity; they
would now and then like to hear Dale
open his mouth in some important public
utterance with the same frankness and
certainty which the representative of the
first district uses, the representative with
whom the Rutland Herald expresses its
feeling of satisfaction. 1t is not dis
loyalty to Dale by any means. 1t is a
natural and reasonable desire.

THE UNKNOWN DALE.

couple of rather pungent editorial
comments on Congressman Porter II
Dale of the second district indicates that
for some reason the Washington county
bunch and the State House gang are dis
pleased with the representative from
across the mountains. Why is it? What
has Dale done to get himself lin wrong
Rutland Herald.
The contemporary then goes on to
quote The Times as expressing the wish
that Congressman Dale might go about
his own district and let the people get
acquainted with him. A perfectly rea
sonable wish it seems to be and not shad-
ed by any political coloring. The fact
is, the people of the second district do
not know Dale, have never known him,
and never will know him unless he stirs
about more than to attend some strictly
partisan gathering of politicians. The
Rutland paper goes into some length to
set forth that Dale is well known be-
cause he held some town offices in Brigh-
ton, was state senator two years from
Essex county, was chairman of the dis
trict convention in 1895, was member
of the Republican state committee in
1908, chairman of the Republican state
convention in 1898 and on Gov. CIRCUITS
staff from 1896 to 1898. That is a fairly
good array of statements, but not at all
indicative that Dale is in touch with the
people of his district. In fact, those
statements would convey the impression
that, outside of merely local circles sur
rounding his home town, Dale's associs-
lions have been largely with select CO.
teries of politicians or with single repre-
sentatives of large collections of the

CURRENT COMMENT
Who is After Porter H. Dale?

A couple of rather pungent editoria.
comments on Congressman Porter II. Dale
Of the second district indicate that fol
some reason the Washington county
/ bunch and the State House gang are dis.
pleased with the representative from
across the mountains.
Why is it? What has Dale done to
get himself sin wrongf"
The Barre Times says it would like to
have Congressman Dale go about his
own second district in Vermont and let
the voters have one look at him before
they die" 1t alleges that the incumbent
| is zone of the most unknown men in his
own bailiwick" who ever was congress
man from that district.
The Herald has a curiosity to know
whether that is a fact. How well known
is Mr. Dale?
1t is fair to assume he is known in
Brighton, where he "held the usual town
Offices" He must have been fairly known
in Essex county because he was twice
elected to the state senate, serving in
1910 and 1912. Apparently few people
knew him in the second district, because
he served as chairman of the district
convention in 1896.
In the state itself, he must have had a
speaking acquaintance with a few voters
because he was member of the Repub-
lican state committee in 1908 and chair
man of the Republican state convention
in 1898. Some one must have recognized
him in passing because he was on Gov
CIRCUITS staff in lS96-9S and he was on
the staff of the collector of customs in
ls97-l9l0
During his campaign, it was something
of a saying iii the second district that
Mr.. Dale might turn up in aay town,
most any day, and, one time or another,
he visited every town in the district,
talked to great many voters and COM
pletely outfooted Mr.. Dunnett, who is by
no means slow traveller.
One way and another one would say
that Mr.. Dale had at least hand shak-
ing acquaintance with quite number of
voters, though possibly he may have been
seriously derelict in calling to pay his
respects tor take orders from-certain
offices, interests and headquarters in
Washington county and elsewhere that
one might mention.
What is the matter with Mr.. Dale, gen
tlemen of the second district? Is he in
clined to forget to kowtow?
We are so comfortable over here in the
first district that neighborly solicitude
and good will might we'll warrant the en-
Herald.

Sundry Bremens.

When the Deutschland lay at dock
near Baltimore last July the arrival of a
second German merchant submarine, the
Bremen, was momentarily expected. We
en- much, very much. not at all The
mystery OF this non-arrival is complcat-
ed. Not only is it uncertain what kept
the Bremen from reaching these shores
but equally is it puzzle why that shad-
owy vessel has continued to be expected
for months after an ordinary vessel.
gifted with tougher qualities of survival
would have been given up tor lost.
To explain the total lack of word from
the Bremen various reports of her cap
ture in new and strange British net, of
her retention in one or another British
port have gone the rounds. Surmise ex-
plains the nabated watch kept for the
missing ship by the story that several
successive craft were started toward
these shores bearing the same i'll fated
name
The chances, perhaps, are that the
next commercial submarine that does
come here will even now bear the name
Bremen To admit the obscure fact of
the failure of the first Bremen would be
That another commercial
submarine may come before long the
near presence of naval U-boats gives ex-
pectation. One can go where the other
goes but the high value of the CONNER
cial cargoes risked on the trip forbids
the taking of chances which belong to
naval duty. The successes of the subma
rine commerce destroyers, conspicuous
though they may be, hardly offset the
setback of the submarine merchantmen.
