The career of Frederick Hale of Maine
in the United States will be watched
with not little interest, even by people
outside of the Pine Tree state, because
of the desire to see if Hale is such an in
capable man as his political opponents
tried to make him out during the cam
paign which ended last Monday. 1t does
not seem possible that Maine would elect
TO the United States Senate a man no
better fitted for such high position
than he was depicted to be by persons
having a hostile intent against him.
There is a possibility that his opponents
ran somewhat beyond the bounds OF the
truth in their anxiety to beat him.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING IN YER
MONT


MONT.
In the primary canvass just brought to
use OF newspaper advertising to set forth
the merits of candidates and, we regret
to say. in some cases to vilify the OPP
posing candidate This has taken the
place almost entirely of the old-fashioned
method of ''hiring hall" and holding a
caucus. Whether the new means of
reaching the people is more effective than
the plan of speech making may be open
to question in the minds of many people
of the state but it is certain that far
greater number of people can be spoken
to than is possible under the method OF
"hiring a half for the purpose. In the
latter situation the effect is largely CON
fined to the physical limitations of the
hail. albeit the inclination OF the people
has to be taken into consideration Is a
factor. In any event the effect is not
far reaching unless public feeling runs
at high tension or some speaker of real
renown is scheduled to do the speaking.
A dozen such meetings would have to be
held in order to reach as many people as
a single issue of a weekly newspaper in
Vermont would come in touch with; and
the cost of dozen rallies would run far
in excess of the price of a small adver.
tisement in weekly newspaper. In
fact, large number of newspapers could
be utilized for the same expenditure for
advertising space as would be spent for
dozen rallies. And we have an opinion,
too that the reader OF political advertis-
ing in newspaper digests the ideas pre-
scented therein much more closely than he
does in listening to the spoken word be-
cause there are diverting influences which
attend oratory that are not present when
the average reader OF newspaper sits
down to peruse his favorite public print.
II would seem that political advertising
under reasonable conditions has come to
stay in Vermont.

Peachams loss in the death of Dr. Al
bert J. Mackey, a prominent citizen, is
the more pronounced because of the fact
that he was the towns only physician
and, of course the health officer Of the
community. Besides that, he had filled
other important positions in the town.
The removal by death Of the only prac-
ticing physician after he had gone in and
out of the families for a score of years
causes serious sense OF personal loss on
the part OF nearly everyone in a town
the size of Peacham and hence Peach
ans mourning is sincere to-day.
