Reasons Why
49,
VIM. A. Root
Should be Nominated
For Senator
From Bennington
County

The legislature of the state
of Vermont will be in session
from so to 100 days. There
is much to be done. Every
extra day costs the state near
ly two thousand dollars.
The most expensive thing
about the legislature is the
time it takes to educate new
members. Mr.. Root has had
legislative experience and can
go to Montpelier prepared to
begin to work-not merely to
begin to learn.
The legislature isn't going
to spend all of its time on the
ratification issue. That will
be all over in half a day. Then
comes all the hundreds of
other months of interest and
Importance to the State of
Vermont.
These matters will be much
the sal.s or similar to the is
sues MIR. Root worked on two
years ago. He is best fitted
to go ahead with the work.
Does anyone doubt his ability,
intelligence and honesty?
Mr.. Root is familiar with
legislative procedure, parlia-
mentary practice, committee
work, bill drafting and how to
get information from the
scores of departments and sub
departments. A new man.
no mater how competent, will
require a month to learn these
things.
The hardest thing before the
legislature is to use the avail
able money to do the most
good Mr.. Root served on the
committee on appropriations
two years ago and is therefore
acquainted with this difficult
part of the business.
Remember his hard work
on bills of interest to Benning-
ton, particularly the trolley
extension bill. No doubt the
other candidates are willing
but Mr.. Root is best qualified
to serve.

Shiny Politics.

It would be difficult for The Herald
or any reputable newspaper to charac-
terize adequately the type of'politics
which has crept into the canvass for
the goyernorship within the past
week or 10 days.
Without daring to identify them
selves with their propaganda, certain
individuals have industriously circu-
lated reports calculated to stab by in
nuendo where they do not dare to
fight in the open.
Apparently the forces which Judge
Darling has assembled about him stop
at nothing--from attacking a candi-
date who is helpless on a bed of i'll
ness TO employing the tactics of the
Thug in ambush.
The Herald has a very lively ap-
probation of what a fair.minded pub
lie will think of such methods when
applied to Vermont politics, especially
in Rutland county and against a
neighbor aud fellow-citizen.

fective organization throughout the con-
tinent which for long time the I'm
tied States had no effective means of
combating.
The Improvement in the situation is
attributed to the policy of the United
States in seeking nothing for itself ex-
cept what it asks for every other dem
Ocracy in the world. That the real aims
and Objectives of this country have fin
ally been made clear is attributed to
a large extent to the improved exchange
of news between the northern and south
ern continents, the lower cable rates
and the efforts of the committee on
public information. The South American
diplomats at Washington, in close touch
with the actions and policies of the
United States are said to have contrib
uted materially to establishing the bet
ter understanding.
