FREE-FOR-ALL SLOW.
BingO Brine Easy Winner. Fastest Mile
Being 2.121a-Heat in 2.18 Pace De-
Clared No Heat by Judges.

Tuesdays racing was not quite up
to the standard forecast by the entry
list, but nevertheless furnished an after
noon of interesting sport The heavy
wind was enough to prevent fast time
even if there had been sufficient compet.
ton to produce it. AS it was, 2.12h
was the fastest mile of the day, made by
BingO Brine in the third and deciding
heat of the free-for-all. This race proved
nothing more than workout for the
Pickle gelding and as a feature event
was n disappointment, as free-for-alls are
likely to be.
Five heats were run off in the PIG
pace without Il money decision. The
first went to Alexander Isle. who beat
Junior billiard in the stretch. The latter
won the second and third handily, but in

POLITICAL CHANGES.

No matter what ones political affilia-
tions may be, he must realize a great
change has taken place in the presden-
tial campaign on the part of the Dem
ocrats. At conference held in Wash
ingtOn by Democratic leaders early this
week it was unanimously decided that
the Democratic presidential and congress
sional campaign shall be confined almost
entirely to the league of nations from
now until the end of October. The news
dispatches say there was no difference
of opinion as to what should be done
All those present agreed that the
league issue should be emphasized to the
exclusion Of collateral issues and that
the speakers should tell of the big
achievements of the Wilson administra-
ton.
There is only one meaning to this
and that is the campaign of denuncia-
ton and misrepresentation conducted by
Messrs Cox and Roosevelt has been re
pudiated by the members of their own
political party and the Democrats have
returned to the issue of Wilson. The
Democrats will parrot his appeal for
approval of the league in the great and
solemn referendum he has forced upon
the party.
The change is very significant. Candi-
date Cox is estopped from further
charges of a Republican slush fund,
from declarations on prohibition, and
personal domestic policies. He now
must confne himself to advocacy of the
Wilson league of nations. 1t is con-
fession that the policies of Cox have
failed to reach the voters and the party
! must return to the advocacy of Wilson
policies. 1t must be admitted that the

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

Probably the question of political adj
vertising will come before the next scs-
sion of the legislature for consideration,
three of the four candidates for gov
ernor in the recent primary campaign
having assumed the law prohibits such
advertising in the public press. This
campaign demonstrated the necessity of
direct appeal to the voters under the
primary law. That it is very expensive
under the present arrangement is shown
by the payment of So 1880 by one
candidate to one concern for postage
and expenses of mailing bulletins" Such
an expense is beyond the means of many
deserving men of the state, and unless
cheaper method of publicity is provided
they cannot hope to win political hon
ors.
The Reformer agrees with the Spring
field Reporter that "the newspaper yet
remains the best, easiest and cheapest
medium of communication between Il
candidate and those whose suffrages he
seeks and it is the height of folly to
| forbid him the use of its columns for
the perfectly legitimate purpose of rec
ommcnding to their consideration the is
sues for which he stands.
With the advertising columns of the
papers open to candidate, the man
with a proposition more definite than
vague promise to keep down state ex-
penses-something both he and the vot-
ers know he cannot do and give them the
advantages they want for themselves and
| their chidren-such a man can appeal
personally to the electorate through their
local sheets and be sure of an atten-
tive reading of what he has to Offer"
i There is also talk that the amount
of advertising aud expense of q political
! candidate should be limited by law.
than to define. Under the primary law
it is necessary to reach all the voters
and that is expensive. The law should
!. not compel man to appeal to all the
voters and then deny him or limit the
| methods of doing it. Each candidate
can limit his advertising expenses by
the nature of his proposition. 1t would
not require large sum to place before
the public a really meritorious and well
understood proposition, and no amount
of advertising a less mertorious prop
osition could strengthen its appeal to the
voters. Therefore it would seem safe
to leave the amount of advertising tC
= the candidates. There is little doubt
that of two propositions or individuals
! of equal merit the best advertised one
= would win; but the stronger and better
known the proposition the less adver
tsng will be necessary to secure tn,
support of the public. For these reas
ons The Reformer believes political al
lvcrtising should be legitimatizcd and tina
the public will soon teach the candi
dates the amount that is necessary ant
effective to spend.

made so little effort to drive Alexander Isle
to victory that the judges called it no
heat and ordered the two horses out to
settle the matter Wednesday afternoon.
After Russell Hill had taken the first
heat in the 21S trot by narrow margin
Abdell Penn came to the fore and won
the next three handily, although in the
third and fourth the Manchester entry
was closely pressed by Robert Ormond.
A field of eight took the word in the
first heat of the go trot or pace after
taxing Starter Standshs nerves by their
refusal to score in concert. Only five of
the lot, however, finished within the flag
and they were strung out in long process
sion which Little Prince headed. In the
second heat Mount Kisco made game
drive from the three-quarter pole and
beat out Prince by narrow margin, Ben

over until Wednesday afternoon under

GRAHAM WANTS NEW TRIAL.
Motion Filed with Supreme Court by
Counsel. Who Allege Juryman En-
pressed Opinion Previous to Trial.

Especial to The Phoenix
MONTPELIER, Oct. s.
A motion was made in the supreme
court today by Attorney Hale X. Darling
of Chelsea, one of the counsel for eX-
Gov. Horace f. Graham asking for a
new trial for Mr.. Graham, who is under
bonds awaiting sentence having been
convicted by Washington county jury
of the larceny of state funds when he
was state auditor. The motion probably
will be argued at the November term.
1t alleges that Juryman jerome F..
Stone of Mortified, who stated during
his examination that he had not formed
or expressed any opinion as to the guilt
or innocence of the respondent, did not
state the truth. but that he in fact did
say in 1913 and again in 1919 that Ora
ham was damned thief and ought
to be sent to Jail the same as any other
thief.
Affidavits of three reputable citizens
of Northfield were filed in support of
the motion. the three citizens claiming
to have overheard Mr.. Stone make the
alleged remark. 1t is the contention of
the respondents counsel that the re-
mark showed conclusvely. that Juror
Stone had formed an opinion as to the
to the trial and that having formed an
opinion it was impossible for him to
give the respondent a fair trial
Counsel for Ex-Governor Graham are
Hale X. Darling of Chelsea and W. b..
c. Sticlmcy of Rutland. At the time of
the trial in January, 1920, they were as
sisted by Attorney Rufus A. Brown of
burlington. who has since died.
Ex-Governor Graham was arraigned
in the Washington county court at
Montpelier Jan. 20, 1920, on the charge
of grand larceny. New York expert ac-
cOuntants having examined his accounts
as state auditor of accounts and re-
ported shortage of about $4,000, al
though the state claims the shortage was
larger than that. He pleaded not
guilty and was placed under bonds of
$4,000, Frank NJ. Cory of Montpelier
and ii. w. Varnum of Cambridge be-
coming surety for him. He was found
guilty ON 80 counts of an indictment
for larceny. Exceptions were taken to
the supreme court. but it is understood
that the exceptions have not been per-
fected.

desertion of Cox is a confession of veal

ness in the campaign to date.
Opposed to the latest declaration of
the Democrats is the stand of Senator
Harding who says without equivocation
we will not go into the league, but we
will attempt to form an association Of
the nations for the preservation of peace
and the enforcement of international
Justice; that America will not yield its
constitutional rights of declaring war to
any European military alliance but will
meet its international obligations and
faithfully perform its duties to civil
ization. There is no change in Repub-
lican attitude and the response of Maine
against the present league of nations
indicates the party holds a position of
strength. The change in the Republican
ranks is an increasing alignment against
the Wilson league and improved pros
poets of overwhelming victory in Novem-
Der.
