During the past year Frederick H..
Babbitt of Bellows Falls has proven
himself an energetic head of the
Greater Vermont association, and his
reelection to the position of president
of the association is fitting rccogni-
tion of his services both to the asso'
citation and to the state. The associa-
ton received so much publicity and so
much impetus during the present
week that its work ought to he con
sidcrably more widespread during the
coming administration of President
Babbitt.

1t is a triangular fight now for the
United States senatorship in Vermont.
Gov Gates is more than receptive
candidate. He has openly announced
his candidacy, but it is understood that
he will not indulge in political adver-
Using, and will make no solicitations
and no expenditures of money. Mr..
Gates will be a big factor in the con
test, and he will undoubtedly get
many votes from the counties in
which Senator Page had reason to eX-
poet his main support Pages claim
for recognition comes mainly, as far
as we are able to observe, on the
.stanaias that eight years of expert,
'ence has given him rather than on any
Specific statement of what he has
done. With all due regard for Gov.
Gates as an honorable and estimable
man we doubt whether he would fit in
to the arena of national politics,
Gates s entry, we are inclined to be-
lieve, will work more strongly against
Page than against eX-Gov. Fletcher, n
strong, energetic man who is ready to
fight for his convictions.

IN PREPAREDNESS THE AD
MINISTRATION HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the administration
has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited Only
about a year and a half ago we
were, told that the question OF
preparedness was not a pressing
one: that the country had been
misinformed. Later, under the
pressure of other leadership, this
attitude was changed. The ad-
ministration, it was said, had
Learned something" and it made
belated demand for an in
creased army. Even then the
demand was not prosecuted con-
sistently and the pressure eX-
erted on congress with respect
to other administrative measures
was notably absent.
We are told that the defects re-
vealed by the present mobiliza-
ton are due to the System" But
it was precisely such plain de-
fects that under the constant
warnings of recent years, with
the whole world intent on mill
tary concerns, should have been
studied and rectifed. The adj
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. Ap-
parehtly it is now seeking to
meet political exigencies by its
naval program. But it has i'm
posed upon the country an in
competent naval administration.

Political Gossip from
Washington.

Washington, Aug. IA. Especial
Correspondence.) One of the no
ticeable and somewhat Important
features of the present political
situation is that the Democrats
are frequently excusing or open-
" condemning some of the poll
cies of the Wilson administration.
Members Of the Senate and of
the House have come to realize
that Wilson'S popularity and his
consequent strength are not what
they were two years ago and that
they cannot hope to win their
own elections by merely shout
ing for Wilson. On the CONTRA
ry, they can now see that when
the November race has ended,
the man who is hanging to the
coat tails of Woodrow Wilson will
be too far in the rear to be a win
ner.
