Already two one-hit games have

With Alexander and Killifer the
Cubs might have stood a chance Of at
least making a fight for second place,
but without them it's sure to be good
night! The Cubs don't look strong
enough to do much with the rest OF
the bunch.
The Cleveland Indians, too. are wor-
rying lest Ray Chapman and Bill
Wambsganss, shortstop and second
baseman, respectively. be ordered
away to don the khaki Take them
out Of that Cleveland infield-and

A7 cities and towns in Vermont exceeded
its quota in the Liberty Loan drive under
the splendid leadership Of Judge Charles

pieces of patriotic work ever done in
Vermont. and without thorough organ

Now that our people have seen what
they can do and do easily. we should put
additional savings into war savings

The announcement comes from Brattle-
boro that the Hon. H. G. Barber will not
be a candidate for denomination for the
position Of attorney-general Of Vermont.
having decided to devote his attention
upon the expiration Of his present term
to his private law practice. Mr.. Barber
started in his work for the State with the
idea that it was impossible for an attor-
ney-general to serve two masters, the
commonwealth and corporate interests.
We believe he has conscientiously tried
to live up to that principle.
When the term Of Attorney General r
e. Brown Of Burlington expired on De
cember 1. 1914. Mr.. Barber was appointed
by Governor Allen M. Fletcher to the po
sition to serve during the interim be.
tween that date and February 1, 1915
when the change in the makes
the new biennial period begin. Mr.. Bar
Der was elected for the following two
years and in 1916 was reelected to tina,
office.
Barber marks the first break in the list
Of State officers now serving Vermont
It makes practically certain fively con-
test over the position since there are GER
tain to be a number of candidates. judg
ing from the scoring of aspirants. In al
human probability the action taken by
Attorney General Barber will be followed
by the declaration Of other State Officers
in the not distant future as to their in
tentions regarding the seeking Of renomi
nations and reflections. since the pri
mary will be held on the second Tuesda.
of September less than four months
hence.
