as a legislator and the issues on which
he is making his campaign show that
his knowledge of state affairs is sound
and comprehensive. He knows from
experience the difficulties that beset
all progressive movements and pos
sesses the tact and ability to bring
them about. Day in and day out
through the next two years, we believe,
he would prove to be more efficient
governor than any of his opponents.
And unless we are much mistaken next
Tuesday will show that enough of the
voters of the state, both men and
women, share this opinion to give him
the nomination.

Vermont s population shrunk less
than one per cent in the past ten years
less than some expected. But when
the growth of nearly every large in
dustrial center is remembered it shows
the reduction in strictly rural popula-
ton must have been great enough to
cause serious concern. When the full
statistics are received they will show
Vermonters many places they should
make united efforts to repopulate and
restore. the sturdy honest citizenship
that has been the glory of Vermont in
the past.

The announcement that Lewis p.
Thayer, dean of the Vermont press, has
sold half interest of the .Morrisville
Messenger to r. II. Stopple indicates
this veteran Vermont newspaper man
desires to retire from his activities. No
other man in Vermont has put so many
years of active work in the newspaper
field as Mr.. Thayer and he is entitled
to rest and comfort. Mr. Thayer has
been leader in making Vermont
newspapers strictly local in their news
service and a great deal of every day
history of common people has beenpub-
lished in the Vermont dailies and week
lies as a result of his development of
town and personal items many years
ago. He has done more than any other
man in the state to make two local
newspapers thrive where only one had
existed and many communities of the
state are indebted to Mr.. Thayer for
the local paper they now enjoy.

from Harvard in 1873, and on return

titled himself with the party then led

Later he served as secretary of the

One week from today Vermont viii
choose its next governor. Not &C
tuallv. of course, but virtually, the Re
plblican nomination being equivalent
to an election. Of the four candidates
who have been so busily engaged dur
ing the past summer in putting before
the voters of the state their various
claims The Reformer believes the one
from Windham county, Frederick il.
Rabbit, is most likely to be nominated
And the prospect is highly pleasing to
this paper, not only because Mr.. Bah
l;tt is Windham county man but be-
cause his experience in Vermont affairs
seems to make him by all odds the
hest qualified of the four.
The Reformer does not make tits
statement without due consideration of
the claims of the other three. 1t recog-
nfzes. for example, the fame of Mr.
Hartness in the engineering field and
the popularity of his industrial expan-
sion slogan, but it has yet to be con
WINGED how he or any other man can
accomplish through the executive posi-
ton what Mr.. Hartness 3 literature
would lead one to believe he expects
to accomplish. The growth of industry
does not come about through legisla-
ton. That it is due to conditions over
which no governor can have control is
obvious. With due regard for the Won
derful growth which the machine indus
try in Springfield has made in recent
wears it may be said that there were
no governors on its business staff and
that it came about through no "cam-
paign of progress" emanating from the
executive chamber. Countrywide con
ditions gave the Springfield industrial
plants their opportunity, of which they
made the most, just as country wide
conditions are now putting the fac
tories of that town on short time. And
neither Mr. Hartness nor any one else
can alter the situation.
As for Mr. Hartness S experience
with state affairs it is limited to his
service as a member of the state board
of education, which is coming in for
considerable criticism of late because
of the enormous increase in expense in
the state educational department with
in the past few years-expense that has
gone into supervision and other Cover
| head" rather than to the teachers
themselves.
Mr. Agan's campaign is based solely
on his opposition to the 18th federal
amendment and the Volstead act, and
| The Reformer cannot believe that the
voters of this state are going to nomi-
nate a governor on that issue when it
has been pointed out repeatedly that
the question is one on which congress
alone has the power to act, and when
most forward looking people do not
agree with Mr.. Agan's views on this
| question in any event.
At this end of the state at least Mr..
Emery does not seem to be a consid-
cradle factor in the race, a@d so far as
The Reformer is able to judge shis cam
paign has been composed largely of
| criticism of the other three candidates
Mr. Emery is "a man whose naturally
affable personality has been polished by
many years of Office holding, but there
seems to be no convincing reason why
he should be further honored at this
time

Joe Taylor, the potato king, who
lives just east of Shelley and has al

was a good time for him to give his

So he put in large acreage of sugar
beets and harvested an average of
eighteen tons to the acre.
