"StOd" Bates.
(Rutland Herald.)

Several friends of "Stod' Bates, pros
nective senator from Orleans county,
have FASTENED to deny that he had any
intention of running away with the
state government or organizing a raid
on the treasury.
The Herald, of course, has neither
said nor intimated anything like that.
II has called attention to the fact that
Mr.. Bates would probably be a member
Of the next state senate. that he would
be ION the side of the farmers" against
the present road system and probably
against cutting down appropriations
very much. Time will show whether
such premonitions are well founded.
Meanwhile, the Herald has no objec-
tion to saying that Mr.. Bates as state
highway commissioner was an honest
and economical officer so far as personal
and office expenses were concerned and
that he did the job apparently fully as
well as the present outfit at a good deal
| less money.
Whether the influence of Mr.. Bates Is
toward reaction or progress, toward
economy or carving on with the pres
| ent overhead load of cost. the Herald is
satisfied that his motives will be honest
and will be dictated by honest convic-
tons.
| Furthermore. it seems likely that
there viii be a lot of men like Stod
| Bates in the next legislature.
