Hugh J. NJ. Jones, successful bus
mess man of Montpelier, hitherto I'M
known to political campaigns, who is
properly vouched for by residents of
his home city as a delegate to the Re
publican national convention, takes an
extreme position when he says he is
for Hughes, first, last and all the
time" He is putting handouts on
himself and throwing the key away
The contingency may arise at Chicago
where it will be the duty of the Yer
mont delegates to give their support
to some man aside from Hughes who
can reconcile the discordant factions
and secure the support of both pro
gressive and conservative branches of
the Republican party.

How He Did Hate to Dance.

climb. And how he did hate to dance
on his hind legs.
After the Man had gone to sleep
and the Bears were supposed to be
asleep too, they would talk over the
days work. They had to whisper very.
very gently. Tor if they really talked
it would wake up the whole country
around
Well he said, the idea of making
me dance! | hate to dance And the
idea of standing up on my hind legs
when l have four perfectly beautiful
legs to stand on. Would Folks like
to see a two-legged Bear-not at all
then why, oh why do they like to
see me stand on my hind legs?'
It's trick said the other Bear.
Well, hate tricks and want to
see the World Little Towns don't
amount to anything. l want to see
the wild places-the Woods-to get
back to some of my good old Friends
Ito go hunting-to be free
No one is making you stay said
the other Bear. Why don't you leave
tonight, and when you go back to our
old home in the big Woods tell old
Bobby Brown Bear to come and join
me. He has always been anxious to
see the Towns and have the People
admire him.
Yes, he's so conceited. Well, any
way he'll be doing me favor. So
good-by. Say good-by to our old Man
for me and tell him I'll send Bobby
Brown Bear to him
The next day the Keeper thought
he would never be able to afford an
other Bear and he was surprised to
find the Bear who was left alone not
lonely-but then in two days along
came Bobby Brown Bear of his own
free Will But 1t was the Fairy
Queen who had helped show him the
way!"

The Old Boys, who have in the past
managed Vermont politics a good share
of the time, and who don t believe in
trusting the voters TO do much except
to vote as they are told, are very much
dissatisfied with the working of the
Vermont presidential primary last
Tuesday. They say it was a farce and
that it cost a lot of money and was
troublesome, and wasn't decisive, and
that not over - per cent of the voters
voted, and raise other objections too
numerous to mention. Now the facts
of the case are that in presidential
years in the past ordinarily about one
or two per cent of the voters have at
tended the caucuses and had what lit

Last Tuesday the voters of Vermont
were given an actual chance to say
who they wanted for presidential can

themselves of the privilege. Now any
man who is honest and disposed to be
| fair knows that the vote cast Tuesday
was indicative of the sentiment of Yer,
mont. They may have suspected it be

that ought to satisfy even the most

10 Chicago a sound foundation on
which to base their action and as men
of character they will welcome this
| voluntary expression Of the electorate
of the state. Also the real honest truth
is that the cost was not important or
excessive and was so distributed among
all the towns that it won t add more
than one cent to any taxpayer s bur
den. Then, too, it WASH t direct pri-
mary at all and was not 4 child of the
primary promoters who have infested
Vermont in recent years. The facts
are that these primary agitators want

way rather than any mere agitator. The

! feature has worked out well in spite
of the grabbing of the Oid Boys who
wanted to pull all the strings them

country last year reduced their pay

year was nearly q per cent, while the
