{ Burlington Free Press.

One of the leading politicians of Yer
mont said he never saw a campaign like
the present He said the goyernorship
is the only state Office in question and
you would not know there was contest
over that He did not believe it was
good thing to have so little said about
important public issues. The chances
are that he is right Sometime ago
somebody said the direct primary was at
fault because it started so many candi-
dates; now il is not starting ANYBODY
apparently. 1t must be the cold season
that is playing hob with Vermont poll
tics, or are people disguised with poll
tics altogether!

have saved the country since July ] last

ing threw up these 5obs in obedience to
an order of a labor leader who fouted
the authority of the United States Rail
road Labor Board and in brazen fashion
has boosted ever since Of so doing.

Bennington people are faced with
suspension of gas service by the Twin
State Gas and Electric company unless
there is marked change in the situa-
tion in the immediate future. Late in
the winter the company filled its stor-
age bins and officials believed that there
was supply on hand sufficient to last
during the duration of the strike. The
present supply on hand win not last
more than 80 days. The company has
been able to secure a small lot of coke
but the use of this material at its plant
will require some experimenting. The
company has the cooperation of the
Public Service commission. the Ameri-
can Gas commission. and other organiza-
tions and is making every step to keep
its plant in operation.

This is a very dangerous disease,
particularly to children under five

easily cured by giving Chamberlain's
