Pollard Defended.

Park II. Pollard of Cayendsh has been
named by Gov. Graham as the fifth OF lay
member OF the board of control His con
firmation would make the board consist
of Gov. Graham, State Treasurer Scott,
Auditor of Accounts Benjamin Gates,
John T.. Weeks of Middlebury, who has
been named as director of public institu-
tions. and Mr.. Pollard. Dispatches from
Montpelier state that anti admlnistra-
ton members of the Legislature are in
censed at the appointment Of Mr.. Pol
lard and that they will fight his con-
firmation. Well, the field is before them,
and no favors will be asked. Mr. Pollard
is a clean-cut type Of business man,
who now represents his town III the leg
stature. He has been public service
commissioner, and to some has commit
ted the unpardonable offense of heading
the Democratic state committee. If any
of the bigoted members want to fight
him on political grounds, when he may be
the fifth member OF a board which will
contain four Republicans, now is the
time for them to strike. Mr.. Pollard is
capable and efficient, and his contirma
ton ought to be made unanimously and
without a question, - Brattleboro Re-
former.
