committed themselves to views quite
opposite to those of Hiram johnson. On
the other hand, the political advice that
has been given the Republican nominee
is that the Hiram johnson view is at the
moment a better vote getting position.
His worries about the other elements in
the Republican party have caused many
a conference. The feeling here is that
the consultation with Mr.. Hughes means
somewhat of a turn toward the Hughes
Taft position on the ratification OF the
treaty of Versailles rather than as some
Democrats here would have it-a bid for
their support on the expectation of APP
poihtment to the supreme court later on.
Neither Mr.. Taft nor Mr.. Hughes is the
type of statesman to whom promises of
reward would appeal III a matter SO
vital to them as the league of nations
issue, and Senator Harding is consid-
cred here too high grade an individual to
play that kind of politics. So the gen
eral inference which is being drawn by
those who are in position to know
what is going on inside the Republican
camp is that Senator Harding will soon
make a speech-probably on Saturday
next-amplifying his league of nations
Views in such way as will command the
more hearty support of those who have

where apparently big war wages in the
towns lured the young people partlc-

Vermont counties for the most part
are showing slight decreases this year
as compared with 1910. This, upon
analysis, is almost invariably found to
be due to decreases in the rural popu-

towns, such as Springfield, Barre, Ben
