we would decide to make use of the
rowboat. which he had left uninjured
for that very. purpose, and that we
would venture forth just so soon as
the night became dark enough, he had
hidden the stolen craft in some covert
along shore to await ~ coming.
Then he sprang N rs, as the tiger

Vermont Suffragists Have New Plan

That the suffragists of Vermont
have new hopes of complying with the
seemingly impossible conditions" i'm
conditions under whcih he would call
On extra session of the legislature for
the purpose of ratifying the federal
suffrage amendment, is the statement
made by Mrs. Lillian Olzendam, chair
nan of the state ratification commit
tee, who announced the program to be
adopted by the suffragists in case no
extra session is called.
The suffragists take the stand that
the legislature of Vermont has passed
Ehe bill by giving women the right to
vote for presidential electors and the
attorneys for the suffragists claim
that the approval of this bill was
purely a matter for the legislature,
the governors veto or approval hav-
ing no bearing on the case They con-
tend, therefore, that the bill has al
ready become law and women have
right to vote In this state for pres
Hential electors.
The course to be adopted, if all
plans for the ratification fail, and no
extra session is called, will be for
women to register at the presidential
primaries which are to be held next
month. IF they are refused the priv
lege of voting they will take the
case to the supreme court and attempt
I'd secure decision before the presiden-
6al election next fall.

In these columns last week were out
lined the qualifications that, in the
opinion of this newspaper, should be
possessed by him whom the people
this year select for the governor of
Vermont; also the state of mind and
the methods by which the people
should approach and finally make
their selection. From the four an
nounced candidates for the Republi-
can nomination-one of whom will un-
doubtedly be selected for the Office
the choice will be made.
Looking these four men over, and
conceding the particular qualities and
points of strength of each, this paper
yet has decided preference, founded,
we assert, not on personal friendship,
or location-which should be largely
disregarded in matter of this kind
but because we sincerely believe
that one of these men combines in
an unusual degree the qualities that
choice is Col. Curtis S. Emery of
Newport.
1t may be because we have had a
long and close opportunity to know
Col. Emery and to appreciate his
worth that we are led to this judg-
ment. But he answers the test. and
this being the case, if the job were
our own personal one, we should hire
him for it on the spot.
We had intended to appraise and
set forth with some detail Colonel
Emery's qualifications, training and
experience as we have noted them,
but it has been done so well in COM
munication published elsewhere in this
issue, from the pen of one of the
keenest minds in Vermont a long
time neighbor and professional asso-
ciate of the subject of the sketch
that we will simply refer readers to
that article, as covering the theme
fairly and full.i. We endorse the
statement. 1t is not overdrawn 1t
does not make Col. Emery a paragon
of wisdom, virtue or infallibility, but
it draws a flesh-and-blood picture of
a real man as he really is, and for
| that alone is well worth the reading.
We will only add that in respect
to inherent capacity, clear judgment,
knowledge of Vermont. its needs, its
institutions, its men, high civic con-
seriousness, courage, tenacity of pur-
pose, candor, ability to select high
standard subordinates, tact in meet
ing and handling men, and all the
other elements that promise suprela-
lively excellent service in the COVER
norship, Colonel Emery combines
these essential qualities to a greater
degree, in our opinion, than any of the
other candidates. And this is not
disparaging any of these, either, ex-
cept as comparison forces this judg-
ment.

fulcrum? Randolph Herald and

Pertinent questions surely Mr.
Hardness idea of applying industrial
plant termination to Vermont after
the plan that has been so successful
in Springfield is one bound to attract
persons interested in state develop
ment, but why should its success de-
pend upon the nomination of Mr..

requires legislation it were better,
perhaps, that its sponsor were not IN

Efficacy of Prohibition and Enforce
ment-
(Rarre TimeS)

What's this? Not single arrest in
March by the Rutland police for To-
cal offenses? 1t reads almost like
miracle, not that Rutland is unduly
tough and law-breaking but because
Rutland is a city Of approximately
$4,000 people and was wont to have
her arrests run up into the scores
each month. Such change is almost
startling in its revelation of the eff
cacy of the 18th amendment, if not of
the Volstead act.

: r. M. Cowles of Albany announces
that he is candidate for senator from
the south end of Orleans county. So
far the candidates for this office are
all good men. d. w. Davis of Derby
Line has been favorably mentioned
as another good candidate from the
north end, and if he should decide to
allow his name to be used IN the
primary he would probably make Mr..
Blodgett of Newport "sit up and take
notice" This kind of men is needed in
both the house and the senate.

The Cost of Carelessness.
(Brattleboro Reformer)

(Brattleboro Re1ormer1
The town hall of Dandy was burned
to the ground last week because
someone dropped a lighted cigar or
cigarette in sawdust-filled spittoon.
The smoker who drops such things
about without being sure they are
where they will not be dangerous is
guilty of fragrant carelessness, but
it also might be well for the rural dis
tricts to begin to equip their halls
of fame with fireproof cuspidors.
