Likened to a Burlesque and
Stamped a Fake by a
Leading Vermont
Editor.
Worthless AS Indicating Any Degree
of Public Sentiment.

The Bennington Evening Banner, published and
edited by former Lieutenant Governor Frank L.
Howe, in its issue of July 18th analyses the straw vote
taken by the Lyndonvile Union-Journa in the inter
est of Senator Page,
The Banner characteristics the effort, as conducted
by the Lyndonvile paper, "A Sham Ballot" and
charges that it not genuine undertaking. mot
bona hde attempt to sound public opinion but rather
that it was 'plant," (meaning that the result was
determined before the made) to influence
the public mind in the interest of Senator Page upon
a false and faxed premise.
And the Banner concludes its caustic analysis OF
this method OF straw vote taking by CHASING it with
the buresque which is stage upon which senators
are seldom seen in daylight.
1t is well worth the time OF every reader to per-
use carefully what the Banner has said on this alleged
straw vote 1t is here given in full

and we do not believe that h
spent or could afford to spend
upwards of $500 on any enter
prise of the sort. Mr.. Chase is
an independent voter of Demo
cratic leanings, but a personal
friend and admirer of Senator
Page, He had a perfect right to
do the senator favor by polling
his alleged straw vote for him
and to let the senator pay the
cost, but it is not to BE taken
seriously. Anyone has the right
to form an opinion from the evil
dence at hand.
We do not claim to have any
proof in the matter but the case
does not seem to be very OBJ
scure. 1t is manifestly not i'm
portant just how the list was
made out so long as it was sent
mainly to partiSans on the Page
mailing list. A ten minute can
vass in any town in Vermont will
prove the utter humbug of the
affair.
The real point is that the SO
called straw vote was known to
be Of no value even before the
result was partially announced,
To attempt now to make it the
basis Of an argument to the clu-
zens of Vermont is like attempt
ing to buy real goods with imita-
ton money.
The Republican voters OF Yer
mont on Sept. IL are to decide

Senator Pages first installment
Of political advertising has APP
peared and is a pitiful bit Of false
reasoning based on manifest
humbug, Senator Page has a
great deal of strength, business
sagacity, and is man Of many
fine qualities. 1t seems to the
Banner terrible thing for him
to start a campaign for the high
office Of United States Sena-
tor on subterfuge. Are the
voters Of Vermont children to be
fooled by fairy story ?
In the first place the Lyndon
vile Union Journal didn't take
straw vote of Vermont Republi-
cans on the Senatorial issue.
There wasn't a genuine poll TAX
en- and the actual results of even
the fake poll have not been
printed.
A genuine poll would have in
cluded the names Of at least
three other men in addition to
Page and Fletcher and a correct
statement of the result would
have told the number OF ballots
sent out and the number who
did not reply or who answered
in opposition to both the men
suggested.
Further than this we do not
believe that the alleged straw
vote was bona fde attempt Of
the Lyndonville Union Journal
to sound public opinion, This
is purely guess on the part of
the Banner, but the whole affair
indicates that it was "plant" by
Senator Page or some worker in
his hehalf and carefully planned
to show a preponderance of SEN
timent in his favor.
The straw vote of the kind
taken would cost not less than
$500 as stamped return en-
