broke forth in song. Then from the
cabinet came the same voice, indis-
tinguishable from her own. Save
by watching her lips the members
of the audience could not tell
whether they were listening to the
real flesh and blood Elizabeth
Spencer or to EdisOn's Recreation

Independent Voting.
{ Burlington Clipper.l

The result of the election last week
showed a strong tendency towards in
dependent voting. The time is passed
when the politicians can place the
part tag on any great body OF voters.
Both parties found this condition To
exist The old time Republicans of the
West refused to be led to the polls by
the party bosses. Even Tammany Hall
in New York could not hold its old
time Democratic vote. 1t was just
about the same III Vermont Some six
thousand Republican voters in this
state refused TO accept traditional Re
pnblicanism and cast their lot with Viii
son.
All this simply shows that political
parties as parties are losing their
power and influence. Men and meas
urcs today count for more than mere
party loyalty. There is no magic in
the word Republican any more than
there is i'll Democracy The men who
ar6~up for Office and their character and
policies are the important things that
appeal to the electorate
