UNRESTRICTED DELEGATION.

While there is little question that
General Leonard Wood will win the
presidential preference primary in prog
ress in Vermont today, the wisdom of
sending the Vermont delegation to the
national Republican convention at Chi
cago instructed to vote for him is quite
questionable Unless General Wood has
y good lead over Senator Johnson in
instructed delegates it is doubtful
whether he can win the nominations in
fact, Johnson has won so much strength
and so much bitterness has developed
between the two factions that the nom
ination of either may be impossible. In
that case the Vermont delegation
should be free to decide upon the best
man to support at the convention. 1t
is possible that an uninstructed dele
cation could repeat the action of the
Vermont delegation in 1888 when it
declared on the first ballot for Benja-
min Harrison and stuck to him until
he carried the convention.
If neither Wood or Johnson can
carry the convention a dark horse is
the only possible winner there. While
he has not allowed a canvass to be
made for him. Calvin Coolidge of Mas
sachusetts is a possibility among Re
publican leaders and it is not impos-
L. H., = OH
1t would be ridiculous to have a son
Of Vermont nominated for President
and the Vermont delegates instructed
to vote for someone else.
| The character of the men likely to
be named at the state Republican con
| vention furnishes an additional reason
why they should not be instructed The
men men most generally mentioned as
candidates for delegates are Alexander
Dunnett of st. Johnsbury, George o
Gridlcy of Windsor, w. S. Dewey o!
| Quechcc, Major II. n. Jackson of Bur
lington, Redfeld Proctor of Proctor
/ and President Thomas of Middlebury
There will be two other delegates and j
is understood that f. r. Morse of Rut
land and Fuller c. Smith of st. Al
bans would like to be elected. 1t i
also expected Montpelier will have
candidate but the defeat of the regu
lar slate of delegates to the state con
vention at Saturday night s caucu
leaves the situation there uncertain
1t would seem wise for the east sid
Of the state to name one former sery
ice man as a delegate and the Amer
can Legion men who carried the Re
publican caucus at Montpelier may pre-
pose such a candidate. The practics
| certainty of most of the men name
above being chosen to represent Vel
mont at Chicago should insure thei

to stand and work for a winner.

favor of a Sunday law consistent with
modern thought and action and ought
to have strong influence on the next
legislature. The Congregationalists are
unalterably opposed to legalizing COM
mercialized recreation on Sunday, but
believe with a great many other sensi-
BILE people that there is no harm in
amateur sports on Sunday provided
they do not interfere with the peace
and quiet. of folks who prefer other
forms of Observance. 1t is worth not
ing that George l.. Durham of this
town was chairman of the committee
which brought about the adoption of
the resolution, passed only after con
siderable discussion.

Reach's American League Official
Guide.

The 1920 Edition of the official Reach
American League Guide. of which the
veteran, Francis C. Richter, is editor,
has come to hand, and is. as usual, a
welcome visitor, particularly this spring
when so many changes-over 80 to be
precise-in the playing rules have been
made. These will be found in the
official guide each in its proper place,
and moreover, set in italics to enable
the reader to distinguish it at a glance.
This guide is not only valuable for the
official playing rules, the official record
and the average of the American
league, the National league, the world s
series, and all of the minor leagues
which are all set ont in full-but also
for a mass of valuable information per

Occupies Unenviable Position.
Oakland. Cal. Tribune

Until the suffrage amendment is
passed one man occupies the unenviable
position as being the sole figure who
stands between the wish and accom-
plishment of a measure that has been
ratified by thirty-five states Both
houses of the legislature of the state
Of Vermont are declared to be in ia
vor of votes for women but the legis-
lature does not meet until next Jan
uary. The women of Vermont are ap-
pealing to the governor to call a special
session and to their appeals have been
added those of many of the other
states. So far the governor has re-
manned obdurate. 1t has been said that
one man who arrived at the polls too
late to vote in the election of 1911 was
responsible for the war of 1912, and
one man was held to be responsible for
the failure to prohibit slavery in 1884
Is the governor of Vermont to join
these others?
