This paper is pleased to note that
Orleans county is to go onto the card
scheme of sugar distribution October
1. 1t is the best and fairest way for
all concerned. The local food admin
istrator will issue to each family a
card which designates how many are
in the family. This card must be
taken to your grocer every time a
purchase of sugar is made and the
grocer will punch out the amount you
get If you lose the card it will cost
you 25c to get new one. Altera-
tions make it void. Upon receiving a
card the head of the family must
make a declaration upon his honor as
loyal American as to how much
sugar is now on hand in that family.
This is going to pinch in some places,
sugar boarding today is as unloyal
and unpatriotic as any other form of
slackerism.

POLITICAL THOUGHTS

Though Clement wins the Republi-
can nomination for governor and will
undoubtedly be elected, he is a minor
ity candidate and will run far behind
his ticket and the usual Republican
vote for governor. By reason of the
circumstances under which he enter
ed the primaries at the last moment
and with a well-directed but short
campaign he got bare majority of
votes in an apathetic three cornered
contest.
Many Republican voters in this
part of Vermont will not cast their
November ballot for P. w. Clement. If
no one files as an Independent candi-
date they viii either stay at home or
split their ticket This paper mag
ines this sentiment is more or less
general in the state, though perhaps
not so marked in the western and
southern part of Vermont as here.
just what will happen when the
nominees for state office, county sena-
tors, and town representatives get to-
gether III party convention to draw
up a Republican platform, is an in
teresting question. A very large
majority Of those meeting in that
convention will be strongly in favor
of a ratification plank and will have
the power to adopt a platform with
such plank in it. Undoubtedly they
will insist upon doing so, and the
question Immediately arises: Where
will P. w. Clement stand in relation
to such a platform during the cam
paign? Can the convention handle
the matter SO adroitly as to make it
possible to satisfy the strong prohi-
bition sentiment in Vermont and still
have something upon which Clement
can make a campaign? Or will
Clement bolt the platform as it
were?
The fact is, Vermont has Repub-
lican nominee for governor who does
not find the majority Of the party
ticket in state or county in sympathy
with him nor are the majority Of the
Republican voters of the state in
sympathy with some of his main po-
litical ideas. Personally, he is not
known or highly regarded by the rank
and file of Vermont Republicans. 1t
is a strange situation and one of
which strange things may develop.
Notwithstanding these things P.
w. Clement will make Vermont an
able governor. His local option SEN
timent cannot prevent the adoption of
the prohibition amendment in Yer
mont if the people continue to i'm
press it upon the minds of their rep
resentatives that such is their desire
and expectation, and the people may
expect some shake-ups from Clement
in Montpelier and throughout the
state that will mean increased eff
cheney for Vermont
1t is a peculiar situation, but not
altogether discouraging or hopeless.

The weekly edition of the St. Johns
bury Caledonian will also go to $500
per year. A good share of the week
ly papers of Vermont have put their
subscription price up to $500 and the
people of Orleans county may con-
slider themselves lucky to still be get
ting their weekly papers at $3.50.
How long that price can prevail is a
question, however.

If "a word politics and fishing Of
ten bring into use) Frank Howe had
not been sick and out Of the governor
ship campaign for the six most vital
weeks Of the race he would undcubt-
eddy have won the race against Glenn
ent and Darling. If Clement had not
entered the contest there seems to be
little doubt but that Howe would
have taken the nomination from OAR
ling. Northeastern Vermont gave
Howe majority, as it was.

1t is little surprising to note that
st. Johnsbury registered more men
Thursday than Brattleboro, St. AL
bans or Montpelier. Burlington, Bar
re and Rutland only registered more
men than St. Johnsbury. IF ST. Johns
bury would get together, pull togeth-
er and hang together, there are few
places in Vermont that would have
anything on the scale town when it
comes to doing things.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
On Population Basis.

The corrected returns will show
that Mr. Clement and Mr.. Howe each
carried five counties and Judge Oar
ling four. On the basis of popula-
ton, Mr.. Clement carried 49.7 per
cent of the vote in his counties, Mr..
Howe 27.5 per cent and Judge OAR
ling 23.8 per cent.-Rutland Herald.
Sugar Slackers.
Evidently the publicity that certain
Rutland Experimentation violators
received had a good effect in that re-
gion. We note that in Brandon a
small boy brought back 10 pounds to
one grocery store with the explana-
ton that his people "were not going
to use as much as they expected. >

War Hits Vermont.
Vermont is hard hit by war condi-

ally, she isn't profting materially eX-
coDt in perhaps dozen centers.
What these gain, others are losing.
M0ntpeIier has over q hundred va
cant tenements, Barre probably as
many while Brattleb0ro could house
1000 people more than it has at pres
cnt. Springfield, Windsor, SWanton,
Bennington, Ludlow and WinoosIIi,
the machine, munitions and cloth
making centers, are best circum-
stanced now-Randolph Herald.
Not Cure All.
The direct primary may be all that
it's Sponsors claim for it in the way Of
correcting evils political, but we are
still to be shown its superior merits,
however. When voters pass right by
the polling place and never take the
trouble to 90 in and vote, when free
men will not even get into an auto
mobile and ride to the polls and eXer-

people are so disinterested that they
do not even know that there is an
election, we say that the direct pri-
mary is not the cure-all that was
claimed for it. These things hap
pened right here in Manchester Tues
Journal.
Families Should Double Up.
If anyone does not believe that the
United States is at war let him con-
and houses in Montpelier. The num-
Der of vacant tenements in Barre has
not been determined but it is safe to
say that the number is large.-Barre
Times.
The number will be larger if fami-
lies will adopt the sensible plan this
winter of doubling up to save fuel.
The probabilities are that a third of
the houses in every Vermont COM
munity where there are not factories
working on war goods could be allow
ed to go heatless this winter if people
would cooperate in their housekeep-
ing plans.-Rutland Daily News.
In Glare of Publicity.
Some Is violators of the food adj
ministration regulations in Rutland
have been caught and are being Sc
verely dealt with. The violations
consisted of getting sugar for can
ming in excess of the legal allowance.
The sugar has been confiscated and
sold for the benefit Of the Red Cross,
the regular sugar cards taken away
and the names of the offenders pub
lished. The exposure was she result
of an investigation made by State
Food Inspector Wood.It is understood
that Investigations will be made in
other cities and towns of the state
The people have got to play this
game fair or they will get into trou-

getting after the slackers, the food
hogs and the sugar hoarders. Pub
