out the cross the ballot no doubt will be
thrown out just as il would be thrown

simple instructions ought to be borne in
mind by all voters going to the primary

to the Democratic party except that the
name Of Woodrow Wilson will be print

the only name of a presidential candidate

the voter must make the cross at the

name OF some other candidate he must
append the cross.

Graham Warned Not to Blush.

The candidacy of Horace f. Graham
of Craftsbury for the Republican guber-
Material nomination is the most remark
able Vermont has experienced in many
years, There is time for opposition to
develop before the September primary
comes about, but as yet pot one single
word OF opposition has been heard. En-
dorsements from the press and letters
from public men have been unanimous
in speaking of Mr.. Graham as the right
man. Few men get all the bouquets
thrown their way and Mr.. Graham will
need to guard against blushing if he
reads all the nice things that have been
said about him. However, If the expect.
ed happens and Mr. Graham is elected
governor he will go into the chair with
out a single promise, obligation or polti.
cal debt to pay to any man Tor politi-
cianl but can take up the reins with
a perfectly free hand. This is one of the
benefits of a campaign which is not a
but chorus. Few men reach
this position without feeling an obli-
cation to some one and there is always
a temptation to try and make things

The lateness of the spring season in
Vermont is revealed to everyone by the
feeling of the air; but further proof is
given by the United States bureau of
crop estimates, which tells us that the
proportion of spring blowing done in
Vermont on May was only so per cent,
as compared with IS per cent in 1915 at
the same time and that spring planting
is only 6 per cent done, as compared with
% per cent last year at the same time.
Nevertheless farm products are expected
to come along with rush when once
they do get started, making up for lost
time in the early spring.

The mobilization of the National Guard
of three border states, by order of Pres
ident Wilson, will not add very heavily
to the number of troop ssvailable for
border patrol while the regulars are in
Mexico; and it would not be at all sur
prising if the militia of other states in
close proximity to Mexico are called out
before the embroglo with the two fac
tions of Mexico is composed so that it
will be safe to withdraw the American
army. The insistent request of General
Funston for additional troops is only
partially satisfied by the sending of mill
tia from New Mexico. Arizona and Tex

lars, to the border, because these rein

powers in the military movement now

If William Lorimer of Illinois had not
coupled statement that he was going
back to the Senate with the announce
ment that he was going to make resti-
tuition for all deposits lost in his Chicago
bank he would have been considered a
very good specimen after all. But the
promise to restore money lost by deposit
tors, when used in announcing his candi-
dacy, looks too much like throwing out
the bait for the gullible voters to swal-
low. Let him restore the money. Then
let the voters take under consideration
his claims to official preferment. The
two should by no means be interlocked.

LIEUT.. GOVERNOR
SPEAKS On LINCOLN

The large congregation, assembled at
the Presbyterian church last evening,
were more than delighted with the ex
cellent addresses and program which
was carried out under the supervision
of the Mems Fellowship club After
an anthem by the boys and girls choir,
W. S. Seyler, led in the reading from
the scriptures, of the First Psalm fol-
lowed by prayer by William Hazel
tine. After splendid number by the
Co immunity club double chorus, COM
posed of Fred Koppke, Frank Wichern.
Verge Douglass, William Wichern,
Albert Templin, Lucius Bump, Albert
Wichern and Fred Templin, entitled
"TJnfurl the Banner" the speaker of
the evening, Lieutenant Governor E.
F. Dithmar, was introduced, and gave
most interesting address on Lincoln
as a Politician and Statesman. He
gave in detail his struggle for suprem-
acy, his many defeats, his indomitabie
will and his powers of stick to-itiveness
which finally accorded to him the high
est honor his country could bestow, that
of being president. All present were
glad of an opportunity of he airing the
speaker, and his remarks were much
appreciated rs was evinced by the ap-
plause which he received at their
close.
After the singing of America" by
all, DR.. E. P. Hall spoke on Lincoln as
a man. DR.. Hall needs no preface AZ
to his ability as an orator, but Sunday
evening, he outdid hims elf in depicting
the manhood of our loved president, in
his stimulating, inspiring. sympathic
manner which carried conviction with
his words, to his hearers. His address
was much enjoyed by all.
Rev E. C. Henke spoke on Lincoln
az an American" in few we'll chosen
words, which he was obliged to limit
owing to the lateness of the hour. The
meeting was closed with the inspiring
strains of GLORY, Glory, Hallelulah"
by the quartette, the audience joining
in the last chorus.
This is one of the finest patriotic
gatherings held in Baraboo in some
time. The church was nicely decorated
with flags and the national colors. The
G A. r., the W. R. c., the Sons of
Veterans. and the Auxiliary, and
troupe No. 2 of the Boys Scouts filled
the places assigned to them in the front
of the church, and the remainder of the
room was filled with interested listen
ers.
