MAKES MINORITY PREDOMINANT

The decision of the Democratic ma
tional committee in the contests of del.
egations is an overwhelming victory
for the minority and minority politics.
In the contest from Georgia. in which
he delegates favorable to A. Mitch
ell Palmer were seated, it was claimed
the state Democratic committee decided
that the national delegates should be
chosen from among the friends of the
candidates who received the largest
county unit vote In the primary
Palmer received 14S votes. Thomas
Watson 1872 and Hoke Smith log.
When the Democratic state convention
was held the Watson Smith forces com
bined and elected set of delegates
to the national convention and the
Palmer forces elected a rival set of
delegates. 1t is reported the national
Democratic committee unanimously
voted to seat the Palmer delegates.
representing 146 votes, and turned
down the Watson Smith votes repre-.
senting 23S votes.
The case of Senator Reed from Mis-
souri, was different Under the rules
mot the law congressional districts
are permitted to elect their own dele
gates to tho national convention: and
Senator Reeds district elected him
The state Democratic convention re-
jccted Senator Reed and referred the
domination back to his district which
reelected Senator Reed The national
Democratic committee recognizes the
rule of the state convention and ig-
nores the vote of the district.
While each decision is in accordance
with the rules of the state Democratic
authorities, they conflict. In Georgia
the rule of the state committee is rec
ognized and in Missouri the verdict of
the state convention prevails. In each
case politicians were victorious but the
majority of the Democratic voters in
the state in one instance and in the
congressional district in the other
were turned down. 1t is hard to see
any strengthening of majority rule in
either case

pill down the line, better than you
ever had and finished the first nine
holes in the lowest score you had ever

eighteen hole In the presence of an
admiring throng of friends you pro-

where five should have been plenty7
Wouldn't It make you mad?

PRESIDENT G. w. BAILEY.

The election of Guy w. Bailey of
Burlington, president of the University
of Vermont, pleases all vermonters
who believe in a Vermont state uni
versity. Mr.. Bailey is a Vermonter bv
birth and has always labored in Yer
mont, first as granite manufacturer
then as a Vermont legislator for one
term as member of the house and
from 1908 to 1917 as secretary of state.
when he resigned to accept the posi-
ton of comptroller of the university.
In all these positions he has shown
himself to be a conservatively progress
sive Vermonter of ability and thorough
honesty.
The selection of Mr. Bailey is not a
victory for Greek roots and highbrow
verbs but is a victory for sound pro.
gressive, executive ability Mr. Bailey
recognizes the opportunity to make the
institution of more service to the peo-
pie of Vermont and the producer of
more practical manhood and woman

service and progressive development of

Famous American Clipper Ships.

In the days Of the famous clipper
ships. the American vessel was sec
Ond to none. writes Frederick A. Col
Inns in Boys Life. No other country
could build ships at once so staunch
and so speedy. Records were estnb-
lished which have never been sur
passed by sailing craft and. even with
the use of steam, were not bettered for
nearly half a century. In 1852 the
Sovereign of the Seas sailed 1876 miles
in single day. The Lightning crossed
the Atlantic in 10 days 20 hours, and
the James Blaine of $500 tons made
the voyage from Boston to Liverpool
in II days and 6 hours. Although
America led the way with the first
transatlantic steamship, she allowed
the sovereignty of the seas to slip
gradually from her. At the beginning
OF the war most OF her tonnage was
afioat on the. great lakes or engaged
in coastwise traffic, and her deep-sea
fleet was small.

The State Campaign.
Burlington News

There are some indications that the
state campaign is about to enter the
hectic stage and doubtless from now
until the primaries those who revel in
the delights of spirited campaign will
find plenty to occupy their attention.
Up to this time undoubtedly the best
type of campaign has been waged by
Candidate Babbitt, who has gone
straight to the people with his story In
this manner the voters have had oppor-
tunity of sizing up" the man from Bel
lows Falls and we hear that this process
is resulting in definite trend toward the
Rabbit band wagon.
To start with Mr.. Babbitt is a good
campaigner. He ''sizes up" well. He
adopts no camoufage of any kind nor
has he any specious appeals to make.
He is business man of wide expert
ence, of ability and integrity, personally

A Producer Not a "Boarder."
(Rutland Herald. J

a Jersey COW in Rutland county in
May produced $50 pounds of butterfat
which, with butter at 10 cents, was
worth about S44.73. In other words, the
butter from this COW in year at that
rate would be worth $536.76, no mean
sum. The COW is registered animal and
the yield is not abnormal. Her rec
ord merely shows what can be done in
the county with the right sort of COW
Two grade Jerseys included in the same
report averaged $50 pounds of butterfat
worth about $3.50, or $3.50 in yeaI
Tor each cow The moral of the para
@raph is merely this; There is money
IN dairy cows, providing the COW is o
producer and not "boarder."
