With Ideas or Without, Which?
Barre Times. J

While we would not detract from the
good reputation of John w. Gordon OF
Barre, who has just announced his can
lidacy for nomination as congressman
from the second district, we are some
what surprised at the number of public
questions he decides in the platform
ssued A very wide range of subjects
IS treated in that document and settled
20 far as he is concerned. This indicates
that he is satisfied with what he knows
or does not know and that his mind is
closed on some very vital questions that
congressman with years of experience
and study have been unable to settle. II
is possible that some man who is not
;oek sure of so much could have more
influence in congress and accomplish
more for public welfare, -Brattlebort

The above seems to open the question
whether it is better to 60 to congress!
with no ideas at all or to go to con
gress with some well-developed concep
tions of the outstanding problems of th'
present day. 1t should not be considered
disgrace for man to have spent som,
time in thinking of these problems and
therefore, to have formed some opinions
of his own regarding the best method
to solve these problems. Vermont ha

TEST OF THE BOSSES.

Correspondents on the ground at Chi |
cago seem quite unanimous in the |
opinion that none of the popularity en-
dorsed candidates for the nomination
for the presidency will be chosen by
the Republican convention. General
Wood received the largest popular en-
dorsement at the primaries, Senator
johnson next and Governor Lowden
third but the expectation is that none
of them can be nominated. If this
be true, the choice of presidential
candidate will fall largely to the po-
litical leaders of the country. The first
skirmish when the nominating sessions
open will be between the popular lead
ers, Wood and Johnson, and the organ
ization favorite, Governor Lowden In
deciding the contests before the ma.
tional committee the interests of Low
den have been served but not enough
votes have been cleaned from the
southern delegations to bring him
victory. The organization men are de-
feated in the preliminary skirmishing.
Can these men whose choice has been
rejected in the primaries and who have
failed in placing their man in the lead
ton come to the front in the selection
of the final candidate2 First thought
would say this is impossible but it
must be remembered that the great ma
| iority of the delegates are uninstructed
and without leader. They are the log
| ical prey of a leader and the ques-
ton is can they select one or will they
follow the organization man who will
assume leadership of that factionl
Unless there is rapid development OF
| leadership among the great body of un-
i instructed delegates, Old Guard lead
ership seems most probable.
If this faction secures the leader
ship it will be put to crucial test
in the selection of a candidate. If i
adheres too closely to Old Guard choice
it will disgust the mass sentiment ant
endanger the success of the party. 1
it listens to popular sentiment, it viii
choose man who will appeal to NOR
than dyed in the wool Republicans an
assure Republican victory in the cleo
ton. The nomination of Governo
Sproul of Pennsylvania would be a
Old Guard victory, while the nomina
tion of Hughes, Coolidge or Hoove
would be popular victory. 1t is hope
the leaders will see the light and shap
their course and the course of the grea
party of which they are part accord
: ingly. The greatest victory for the,
\ would be the choice of a popular car
Il didate for the presidency, in fact, an
/ other choice is likely to bring part
Il defeat.

Wood sentiment in this state, it has
been on the part of pronounced Babbitt
men-politicians who are for Babbitt in
preference to Woodland who expect to
go to Montpelier this week and do a
little d;ckering for position and prestige.
That sore of thing has something to
do with all this talk about an pninstruet-
ed delegation, but the real reason behind
it all is that lot of two-faced political
manipulators are trying to defeat the
will of the people of Vermont by sneak
ing majority of Lowden men on the
delegation.
! If this is what Vermont Republican,
want, 90 to it.

Manners
Manners would be a crate thing to
Judge people by if some of the werst
people dident have the best manners.
1t is manners for a man to give a LADY
his sect IN a trolley car in case she is
standing rite IN frunt of him looking as
If she wished he would. Some men only
give their sect to old ladies, ON account
OF considering young ladies legs are Jest
as good as wat theirs are, but most of
the time they jest keep on setting there
themselves on account of it being SO hard
to tell if a lady is RELY as old as she
looks and not being manners TO ask her.
Ii you are on ship and it Ctarts TO
sink for eny reason, it is manners to leeye
the wimin and children off ferst,s so the
leest the wimin and children can do to
show they appreciate it is to hurry, as
mulch as possible. The captin is Supposed
to be the last one off, unless he's a lady
captin.
Some of the most important manners
is table manners. If you are out to din
mir sumwares and your fingers get greecy
and You don't wunt to get the napkin
! too derty, it Is good thing to wipe them
! on your pants ferst, espeshilly If your
pants are a dark color so it wont show on
them. If you spill some soon, il. is best
to Jest saw, Well. well well, insted Of
blushing. thus showing you feel at home
| If you spill your hole cup of cawfee all
over the table cloth, the best thing is to
| Jest ask in low voice for another cup,
thus changing the subjeck.
If You don't know persin very well
/ it is not manners to contradict them 'hy
saying, Aw. watts you tawking about. All

New Methods for Old.

The Brattleboro Reformer designated
Major General Wood s speech at the
Republican. state convention as sense
and Congressman Dale's speech as
salve. Congressman Dale evidently
thought the old time methods appli-

party claims all the virtue in the world
and attributes all the vice to the other
party. That day has gone by and Con
gresham Dale failed to realize it. Nc
