The Lyndonville UniOn-Jouraat
sent out letters to several thousand
prominent VERMONTERs asking
their opinion as to public sentiment
on the United States Senatorship
question.
The first returns, being those
received up to the time the Onton-
Journal first went to press after
the sending out of these letters,
showed the following results at the
end of the first week:
FOR SENATOR PAGE 3241
For EX-GOv. FLETCHER Sc
At the end of the second week:
For SENATOR PAGE 3725
For EX-GOv. FLETCHER 121
Some of the newspapers of the
state, in commenting upon the ex-
traordinary preponderance of Page
preference, have been inclined to
question the fairness of this test
vote, the Montpelier Argus going to
the extent of intimating that the
letters were only sent to the person

is its language:
One paper asserts that the list

extent, from names found in Wal
tons Vermont Register, from 1910
forward, as we'll as from rosters of
Grand Army Posts, Oranges and
other fraternal organizations.
Let us analyze this matter little
more closely. What class of per-
sons in Vermont is it that, to the
extent of more than 30 out of every
81, believe that public sentiment is
for the return of Senator Page?
Let us see what grounds for COM
plant, if any, the friends of Cover
nor Fletcher properly have against
the class of individuals to whom
this vote was referred.
Governor Fletcher was a member
of the Legislature, either in the
capacity of Representative, Senator,
or Governor, from October, 1902,
to January, 1915. During all these
years he was forming close person
al acquaintance with the different
members of these Legislatures, and
for the two years of his incumbency
of the gubernatorial office filled 1879
appointive positions.
On the other hand since 1908
Senator Page has been in attend
ance upon his duties at Washington.
Only once during that whole period
has he left the Senate while Con-
gress was in session, to meet and
make the acquaintance of his con-
stituents, 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 constituents
has been regarded by many as his
chiefest fault, but be that as it
may, everyone understands 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 personal touch
with the people of Vermont, and
under the most favorable condi-
tions, Senator Page has been de-
prived of this great privilege.
How then can it be truthfully
said that a list comprising all the
living members of the Legislatures
, Of Vermont from and including
1910 up to the present time, be-
tween 700 and 500 in all. is UNFAIR
50 far as Governor Fletcher is con-
cerned ? If UNFAIR to any one was
it not unfair to Senator Page ?
Did not Governor Fletcher have
every possible advantage over SEN
ator Page?
Finally, let us repeat as a proper
sequence to this article the question
at it's head viz:
Do the people desire Sen
ator Pages reelection to the
, Senate )?

About $1,000 tons of coal-tar colors,

These diseases have caused heavy

the first eleven months of the war,
the telegraph letters, instructions, dip

This counts each document as one,
although some of them consisted of
many pages. During the previous

Preventable Illness Among
Workers.

The economic loss from preventable
illness among workers in the great
industries of the United States Is
estimated at s3,OOO,OO0,OO0 year.
This is loss due to impaired effic-
iency of labor and consequent de-
crease of production because of par
tial or complete Interpretation of
workers, skilled and unskilled.
Authorities of the United States
public health service believe that
large part of this loss is preventable.
Hence, a campaign has been started,
backed by the public health service,
which involves the introduction of
thorough system of medical supervis-
ion in the great industrial plants of
the United States. A recent statement
issued by Surgeon General Rupert
Blue pointed out the essentials of
system of medical supervision in the
industrial field
l. Physical examination of workers.
.. Careful records of the physical
examinations.
s. Prevention of communicable dis.
eases among workers.
T. Education of workers in methods
of keeping well.
.. First aid and medical attention
6. Prevention of occupational dis
eases.

Franklin X. Lane. approved eight
orders of designation increasing the
area of land classified as non-irri-

nearly 25l.OOO.OOO acres have now
been brought under the 32O-acre law
by Secretary Lane. The states af-

and Wyoming.
This large acreage of land Is not,
however. all open TO new settlement.
