Over Republican Division.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial Despatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1922.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The more
information that trickles into Washing
ton as to the why and wherefore of the
victory of Clifford Pinchot in Pennsyl-
vania the more convinced are the poIiti-
cal leaders of both Republican and Dem
ocratic parties that a political upheaval
of far-reaching proportions is in the
make.
The Democrats interpret the signs as
favorable to them, the Republicans de-
pending upon whether survivors of the
old Progressive movement or conserya-
tives, are inclined to look upon the Penn
sylvania result as party evolution and
therefore as presaging Republican unity
instead of division.
Irrespective of what may have been
the true cause of the Pinchot victory
over the Old Guard of Pennsylvania, the
part that the women played not only in
nominating a Progressive as governor OF
Pennsylvania, but in preferring another
Progressive, Albert Beveridge, for sena-
| tor in Indiana, instead of Harry New,

victory of the Progressiyes in Pennsyl-
vania may prove infectious. The same
kind of fight is possible in New Jersey
and New York this autumn The woman
vote was lost in the overwhelming land
slide of 1920 and its true influence could
not be calculated. The indications are
that its power would be decisively felt
in the congressional primaries and cleo
tons and that the organizations will
have to get hump on to corral the
woman vote If they expect to retain
control Of the party machinery.

No Supernan.
(Rutland Herald1

The next governor of Vermont is going
to have no easy task satisfying all ele-
ments and it is wondered why there are
so many who want the place. One crowd
will want. expenses cut to the bone while
another will want appropriations for
special state activities. There will be
howl If many of the commissions are
abolished and. another howl if the sal
aries OF the state officers are cut, with a
big howl if these things are not done.
There is no way the different interests
can be harmOnlZed. While it is true
that the governor viii not be wholly
responsible for such legislation that is
carried out yet he will be damned if il
is not done and he will be equally
damned if it is done. Instead of a rhi-
steel and heart Of stone-Burlington
Clipper.
The Clipper, like its contemporary. the
Free Press, expects too much of mere
governors. There are no supermen in
Vermont no miracle-workerS There are
Just ordinary folks-and we have had
types of most of them in the executive
chair from time to time.
1t is true that the next governor will
probably be charged with the duty of en-
forcing or directing a program of econ
omy and taX-reduction. and undoubtedly
he viii be expected to do impossible
things. but the final responsibility lies
with the people. through their repre-
Sentatyes
The duty of the governor is quite
clear under the constitution. He can and
should direct the attention of the legis-
lature to the condition of the public
business and suggest proper action
There his responsibility ceases, although
in practice governor is supposed to be
more or less responsible for his own pol
icies and is given an effective veto power
TO that end
1t Is further true that the next gov
ernor of Vermont. if in any degree sue
ceSSful in securing economy and a hori-
Zontal reduction of state expenses. will
find himself extremely unpopular with
the otfice-holders. Between his public
duty and his political comfort, there
fore. he will frequently be called upon
to choose and take a path that may be
uncomfortable.
Tho extent to which he elects the
straight road toward economy and car
rying out the mandate of the people will
be very considerable criterion of his
stature and ability. Furthermore. if he
does that duty without too much fear of
the political results, he viii emerge from
the turmoil very considerably respected
by the taxpayer. although the profess
sional politician and the office-holder
MAY not love him.
The goyernorShip of Vermont for the
1925 term will be real mans lob.
but we need not expect miracles because
we shall find no superman in Vermont
to work them.
