A Query or Two.

In connection with the senatorial
question which is just now engaging
the attention of some of the papers in
Vermont, and on the supposton that
Carroll S Page desires to succeed him
self, 1t would seem natural enough to
ask why the Senator has not as yet
taken the people of Vermont into his
confidence on the subject of the sue.
oessiOn and made frank statement of
the grounds on which he desires, and
hopes for, reelection.
Constructive legislation is live
topic these days. and is being brought
to the front in many of the state pa.
pers; and under these circumstances
as bearing directly upon the senatorial
succession, 1t seems natural enough tC
ask Senator Page question or two
For instance:
What constructive measure. IL any
has he proposed, stood behind, ant
been able to push to a successful issu,
in the senate during his eight year.
service in that honorable body?
Did he really vote against the rura
credit bill, and the bill looking to tn,
protection Of the sources of water
power in these United States? And
so, will he tell his constituency why?
The Senator introduced long tim
ago vocational educational bill tina
had merit, and which Vermonters, Il
common with the people of othe
| atataa hnund IN coo hacnma n lou
Nothing OF definite nature has bee
heard from that measure for som
time. What has happened to It?
We believe that candidate for an
high position has nothing to lose. an
everything to gain, by taking the pul
lie into his confidence; and that n clos
relation and frank understanding b
tween the two will inure to the benei
of both.--Vermon Tribune.

RECRUITING is SLOW
Young Men Opposed TO Being Dis
trlbuted in Different Companies.

Because recruits were not respond
ing rapidly enough to warrant the or
ganization of the proposed machine
company soon enough to take part in
the service on the Mexican border,
Capt. j. b. Hannon called a citizens
meeting at the station in the Noveck
block Sunday afternoon for an inform
al discussion of the situation.
From his experience during the two
days that the station had been open,
Capt. Harmon was disposed to believe
that the young men were not respond.
ing readily because they objected to
the plan Of distributing the recruits Sc.
cured here among the different com
panies of the guard, such as was the
intention when the order was first
made to open the station.
Capt. Harmon was of the opinion
that it had not become generally
known that the machine company was
to be Bennington organization. He
believed that the best method TO in
| crease the interest was to hold public
| meeting at which one of the men con
nected with the national guard in al
official capacity should be present ant
explain the situation. After discussing
details for fully an hour It was decidet
to hold public meeting early thi,
week. Early this morning, however
Capt. Harmon learned that the regi
ment had been ordered to the front a

abandoned, temporarily at least or IN
