THE EARMER.LABoR TICKET

With the elimination of Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin as a possible
choice for presidential nominee, the
farmer labor party at Chicago deprived
itself of considerable vote in the cleo
toral college and probably strong
scattering popular vote. Senator La
Toilette, without doubt, could have
carried his own state of Wisconsin and
possibly one or two other states with
similar tendencies So the new party
has no assurance whatever of being
able TO get enough votes in any state
to secure votes in the electoral college.
Its standard bearer, P. P. Christensen,
gained some temporary prominence
through being chosen as chairman OF
the fusion convention in Chicago but
outside of that he is little known
throughout the country. His business
is that of lawyer and he Is located
in Salt Lake City. Mr. Christensen's
running mate on the ticket is probably
better known, especially in labor cir
Giles, as Max Hayes of Cleveland has
been prominent in labor councils for
some time. 1t is not TO be expected,
however, that either of the nominees
has sufficient prestige to swing much
of the floating vote, upon which the
new party would depend for its
strength. Indeed, the ticket starts out
with far less bright chances than it
would have had if La Toilette could
have seen his way clear to stand on
the platform as drawn up by the domi-
nant group in the convention and pre-
scented 10 him.

The Burlington Free Press sees hope
of chain of summer hotels in Yer
mont as the result of the expected de-
velopments in the Mount Mansfield re-
gion. Just as soon as one person or a
corporation has the courage to start
the construction of summer hotel in
the mountains of Vermont will come
the beginning of the real summer hotel
business in Vermont Until then the
state will be getting merely the fringe
of the summer hotel business in our
all. the-year hotels. The natural loea-
ton for the heart of the summer hotel
business will be in the region of Mount
Mansfield and Smuggler's Notch, sec
ton where many beauties of nature
are concentrated. A hotel built near
The foot of Mount Mansfield would be
calculated to attract large number of
people from the cities; and if the sum
mer hotels in New Hampshire are pay
ing ventures there is no reason why a
few summer hotels in Vermont should
not be made to do the same.

that the best way to gain recreation

Therefore, Coolidge dons the work

Coolidge is of the unusual type of man

time it is not to be expected that all

United States is not the only humani-

many nations which count themselves
