LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Favors Glysson's Candidacy.

Editor OF The Times: Sir-To the
voters of the city of Barre: For you
consideration, beg to make few sug
gestions relative to the candidacy OF
! Mayor i. c. Glysson for reelection.
Are the many wears of business eX-
perience which Mr.. Glysson has TO his
credit an asset to the city if he is re.
elected! Is Mr.. Glysson's experience as
mayor for the past year and as an al
derman for one term an asset equal to a
single term as alderman
| When he was elected in 1917, Mr..
! Glysson took the stand that he would
listen to all suggestions relating to the
conduct of municipal affairs; that he
would fully and fairly consider all pro-
posals put forth in this connection, and
that after such consideration he would
obey the dictates of his best Judgment in
pursuing what appeared TO be the best
course,
II seems that few citizens. when pre-.
senting their solicitations before the
mayor have mistaken courteous atten-
tion for avowed approval, and then felt
injured when their schemes were event
ually disapproved. 1t is evident that
such citizens, some openly and others
under cover, are opposing his reelection.
However, it appears that Mayor Glysson
has adhered to his first determined policy
in conducting city affairs, by invariably
giving courteous hearing TO his advisors
and then, after due consideration, using
his Judgment as To actual decision with
out fear or favor With what success
and inherent fairness each and every one
of us can Judge for himself.
His ways have not always been my
choice, but as | review the record of the
past year, | am convinced that the sue
cess of his administration will average
we'll with those OF his predecessors.
Is it fair play, then, to condemn him
for using his best judgment, which, | be-
leve, has produced average result Are
and condemnation Of this sort
giving Mayor Glysson the same oppor-
tunity that x-Mayors Jackson, Meleher, |
Langley and Others demanded and exer
cised to be a mayor and not a mouth !
piece? Can you find sufficient reason I
for refusing him election, as condi-
tions stand to-day? !, for one, admire
the spirit that Mayor Glysson has shown,
and believe that Barres best interests /
will be served by his reelection.
Respectfully submitted,
Nelson ID. Phelps. II

The new Republican campaign leader
Will Hays, seems to be going about his
work in businesslike manner. That
work, by the way, is the unifcation OF
the warning elements in his party. Chair
man Hays has visited the virtual leaders
of the two important wings of the Re-
publican party Theodore Roosevelt and
William Howard Taft, and he has made
a favorable impression upon both of
them it is said both as to his fitness for
the position he occupies and as to his
theories how the work should be per.
formed If Hays succeeds in getting
these two wings of the party together
and in thorough accord he will have per
formed work which has baked many

Supports Reynolds.

Editor Barre Times: Which man for
for mayor? Glysson's policy seems to be
city extravaganza and high tax rate
but Reynolds announces his policy as
"city economy and a lower tax rate.
Glysson proposes a tax rate OF $40 on
the dollar and even suggests tax rate
of $3.50 on the dollar, But city eeono-
my, advocated by Reynolds, means no
extras in any city department during
the war simply keeping each depart
ment in good order. And this evidently
can be done, under the right manage
ment, with a tax rate not to exceed 81
on the possibly with $3.50 on the
dollar
Anyway. if Reynolds is elected, he will
certainly give his best influence along
this line 1t seems to me that every tax
payer in the city should vote for Rey
nolds, He is the man. Ex-Mayor

Professor X. Hager, the new rector OF

Ludwig of Bavaria and a distinguished

present annual output OF la,29Oi00o tons
This is without taking into account thc
imports which before the war averaged

As for coal, OF which Germany uses
l57 100000 tons annually, there are sup

NO SUGAR FAMINE DANGER
Plenty. But Three Pound Limit TO

Washington. July 10 Definite as
sUranCes that there Is no danger OF q
sugar famine were gwen by the FOOD
Administration Yesterday. and the food
situation generally was declared to be
better than ANYTIME SINCE America under
took the feeding Of the Allied world.
The American public will, however.
be expected 10 observe closely the new
regulations limiting The household per
Caplta CONSUMPTION af sugar To three
pounds monthly and - continue all other
conservation mcasur at least IN part
Whatever saving other than provided
for in the regulations that may become
necessary to remove all danger OF famine
will be done by manufacturers
1t was pointed out today regarding
the wheat situation that even with the
prospect Of a 900 000, 900 bushel crop
there can be little ii any lesSsening ot
present conservation measures.
A reassuring wheat reserve must he
built up here and abroad, officials dc
clare and maintained against possible
short crop next year.
The new wheat harvests now coming
in. il is said. finds the available supply
Of last years crop very low That wheat
less and meatless restrictions would be
removed entirely was declared at the
Food Administration as highly improbable
while the war lasts.
Now that the short market in meat
buying has come TO an end and reserve
stocks Of beef and pork have been nc
cumulated, there may be soon slight
modification of meat restrictions In hotels
and public eating places. Voluntary
restrictions on domestic consumers Writ
ually have been lifted, but from time
to time the public may be asked 10 re-
sumo them
