The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1922-11-08

Perhaps Ike most striking victory Of
the Democrats in the legislative cleo
ton was the putting across" of Bur-
ton Il. Bailey against Mason S. Stone,
Republican, of Montpelier. Mr.. Stone,
longtime state commissioner of edu-
cation, lieutenant governor and poten-
tial candidate for speaker, was at first
considered solidly entrenched and
ready to pick out his seat on the sunny
side of Representatives hall; he even
declined the Democratic nomination
for representative, permitting Burton
L. Bailey to come into the field; then
came the peculiar political Frenken-
stein that sometimes develops most
Unexpectedly and Mason Stone was
trampled under foot most ruthlessly.
Those who were not on the inside OF
things were very much surprised, but
those who know Burton Bailey as
fighter and who know some more Of
the inside workings in the political
workshop in Montpelier are to-day ex-
pressing no surprise whatever over the
outcome. 1t is evident that tremen-
dous amount of undersu surface, good,
hard work was done while some of
the other fellows were merely under
the covers.

Almost as pronounced as the de-
feat of Stone was the political man
handling given Frank Il. Barber, Re-
publican, in Brattleboro, one Of those
who had been actively campaigning for
speaker Of the Vermont House. DR..

Even in Vermont, somewhat re-
moved from the influences which stir
the national political whirlpool, there
was an uneasiness among the voters
which betokens none too well for the
Republican party in the nation as q
whole. Always a strong Republican
state, Vermont nevertheless finds the
Democrats making inroads Of rather
surprising nature in some instances.
Here, as elsewhere, the Democrats took
advantage Of their opportunities as af-
forded by the political unrest and they
have given the Republicans something
to think about in the next two years.

1t would not be difficult to Sc

such a committee gratis. and there
by save the teams the large salary
which was paid the manager of the
