| The act requiring a presidential primary
In Vermont on the third Tuesday Of May,
which falls on May Is, this year. provides
that the secretary of State shall cause to
be printed on the primary ballot in party
columns the names Of all presidential can
didates for whom nominating petitions
have been filed in the same manner and
to the number required in case Of a can
didate for governor.

al convention elected at the State conven-
ton called and held as provided by the
act must be furnished by the secretary Of
State with a certified statement showing
the vote cast at the presidential primary
for the candidates of the party of which
the delegate or alternate is a member
There is no legal requirement that the
delegates to a national convention shalt
carry out the mandate given by the voters
of the respective parties in the preeiden-
tial primary. The obligation is purely
moral. If the voters of the State seemed
to be overwhelmingly in favor Of any par
ticular candidate. it might be difficult to
ignore that verdict in casting the States
vote in a national convention. For this
reason we expect to see a lively contest
in Vermonts presidential primary.

WOOD, COOLIDGE AND OTHERS

Whenever a group of public men get
together these days the first question
asked of them as a rule is, Whom did
sentiment seem to favor for PRESIDENT"
The meeting of the State republican COM
mittee is no exception to the rule. This
question asked in republican Vermont
naturally assumes that republican
possibilities are had in mind by the in
quirer, although political managers keep
an eye on developments on all sides OF
the political fence
a majority of the state committeeman
present in Burlington last week in
clined toward General Wood. Others
who were not in favor of any particular
candidate In preference to all other
possibilities, thought General Wood was
not so strong as he had been.
The opinion was expressed that Gov

national convention of 1883 might be re.

Another committeeman raised the
question whether in case Of the nomina-
ton Of Hoover by the democrats and the
boosting Of the bugaboo of militarism by
him General Wood would be the strongest
possible candidate to meet this issue
Still another member expressed the
belief that both General Wood and Gov
represented by petitions in the Vermont
presidential primary. It now looks as
though it was Wood against the field.
In this connection it is significant that
General Woods campaign managers have
decided to enter the Illinois primaries,
after all. and force a Showdown there
between their candidate and Governor
Lowden. This Is radical departure
