Coach Shelton was not definitely
decided on the use OF Lemiey IN Tue
box, but will likely start the local
boy as he was primed for the Navy
game on Saturday which was pre-
Vented by rain. He will have had a
full weeks rest, his lakt game oelng
that against Yale at New Haven lasl
wednesday. Nor is it allosethe,rr
certain that Dorsey or Neffl:n Will
start in the outfield. Shelton wants
more hitting and may decide to use
either Widmyer or Mayfield as an
experiment. Both are hard hitters
and may have an opportunity against
W. & j. to win regular berth with
the varsity.
The attendance at the Carnegie
Tech games here in mid-April prov
ed beyond doubt that baseball is due
for a big season here. and W. & j.
without question is the best drawing
card that appears here. Thursdays
game will begin at $3.50 and that on
Friday at 2:30 to allow the w. & j.
team to get to State College, Pa.
where it plays on Saturday. John,

Between Mr.. Babbitt talking intelli
gently on vital state issues and Mr..
Agan indulging in a long TRADE against
existing liquor laws men who heard both
candidates in Burlington yesterday are
impressed more than ever by the force
of the Rabbit candidacy.
Mr. Harding, who might be expected
to have something to say in the matter
of federal legislation so far as his party
is concerned, is saying nothing about the
18th amendment, nor is he discussing the
liquor question as a vital issue in this
campaign.
Mr.. Cox, who might be expected to
have something to say in the matter OF
federal legislation so far as his party
is concerned, is saying nothing about the
18th amendment, nor is he discussing the
liquor question as a vital issue in this
campaign.
But in this far corner of the country
here is a candidate for governor of a
small state giving practically all his time
to discussing tie liquor question and
throwing in brief discourse on roads es
side issue.
| Mr.. Rabbit and Mr.. Agan have beer
shaping up as the real contenders for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination.

The Governorship.
Burlington News

1t is becoming more and more appar-
ent that the Republican voters of the
state propose to nominate candidate
for governor on state issues and be-
yond that they propose to nominate
one able to cope with the problems of
administration in practical, business
like manner.
The duties of the governor have teen
clearly outlined recently in letter
written to the Daily News by Senator
Villas and that communication, if any
thing of the kind were needed, stamped
as wildly extravagant the promises OF
some of the candidates for governor.
The governor is the head of the state
Administrations is the chief execu.
tive of corporation and his duties
are defined clearly enough so as to make
evident that there is no power he can
WELD to change the constitution of the
United States or to suddenly create an
industrial wave in the various com
munities of the state.
The duties of the governor at this
time are such as to create the need of
keen, practical business man who
will give unsparingly of his time and
ability to place the state administra-
tion on as sound a basis as possible
In this respect it might not be amiss

Less Careless Driving.
(keene Sentinel.l

REPORTS from motor traffic officers
and our own observations incline to the
opinion that automobile drivers are us
ing more care and discretion in operat-
ing their machines this season than in
previous years There probably have
been fewer serious accidents, and
surely arrest and prosecutions for
speeding and reckless driving have
been on the decline.
This is good news. There have been
times when really careful driver
took little enjoyment in operating his
car because of the feeling that around
the next curve in the road awaited
someone who cared little for his own
life or those of others and was bent
only on covering ground, regardless of
condition of the road or the rights of
others.
In travelling some thousands of miles
local automobilist reports seeing but
little high speeding. He has seen few
Faceidents and believes that drivers are
either more proficient in operating their
ears, or at least more careful He finds
that the day when an immense f'for-
eign' car might be expected to come
full tilt at him without attempt to give
him half the road is nearly over. He
finds most drivers willing to give the
proper share of the road to those they
meet.
Probably not little of this is due to
the work of the traffic officers, who
have not always arrested offenders bat
have cautioned them and explained
that future violations would be pun
ished. Perhaps, too, the war excite
ment is wearing off and automobilists
are willing to cover ground at more
reasonable speed, in the quiet of after
war days.
But whatever the reason. the fact is
q cause for satisfaction. Those who do
not drive carefully should bear it in
mind and ask themselves if they desire
to remain in the minority.
