The part taken by Vermont in the republican national convention of 1910 is highly creditable to the party and it redounds to the prestige of our little commonwealth. In deed it is safe to say that no State had greater influence in the national councils of the party in proportion to its size than the Green Mountain State. Not since tho days of United States Senator Rcdfleld Proctor and the part Ver mont under his leadership played in the nomination of Ben jamin Harrison in 1888 has our State take a more conspicu ous and influential share in shaping the course of the party than did the Vcrmonters under the leadership of Theodore N. Vail. The Vermont republicans first centered the attention of the country on themselves by breaking away from Weeks as the "New England candidate," precisely as they broke away from Thomas P. Reed of Maine in 1S!)(J and set the seal of their approval on the candidacy of William McKinley. The State convention asked the Vermont delegation to work and vote for Hughes, and tho delegation had hardly reached their headquarters at the Sherman, when they began to or ganize in order to carry out the mandate of the voters of the State. Indeed every Verinontcr in sight, on the delegation or not, was drafted for service in behalf of the Stale's favor ite. In a short time the Vermont delegation was in touch with tho delegations of every other State, each member of the organization having been assigned certain States for in vestigation and report. The delegation learned how many voles Hughes was assured on the first ballot, and how many he was likely to receive in the final analysis. This work was' complete on Wednesday. From that time on the missionary work consisted of meeting movements to force the hand of Hughes or to make his nomination impossible. Bank Commissioner Frank C. Williams of Newport was the chairman of the special Hughes committee, and his well known ability as an organizer came into excellent play, but no man in the Vermont or any other delegation did more ef fective service than Mr. Vail. The wide acquaintance of Mr. Vail in different States and his intimate business rela tions with leading men in many States made it possible for him to get into prompt and effective touch with influential republicans and make his work count materially for tho choice of Hughes. California was one of the States with which Mr. Vail got into touch, this being another case oc hands across the continent," as when Vermont and Oregon joined as the only two States to put their disbelief in "pussy footing" into actual practice by stating their choice for Hughes in unmistakable terms. t When it came to the formulation of the Republican par ty s declaration of principles again Mr. Vail's ability and in fluence combined enabled him to take a leading part. ' Mr. Vail was one of the members of the committee on resolutions to iavor a woman suffrage plank. He had recently had occasion to consider the subject of a merchant marine in another con nection, and he was primed to act intelligently on that sub ject, which is one of the chief problems confronting not only the party but also the nation at this particular time. Mat ters ot business and finance came casv to a man of Mr. Vail's pre-eminent ability in both fields, and it would be interest ing to know to what extent his services helped shape the re publican national platform for the campaign of 1916. tTh?Tf?ct that Verm01lt" was one of the only two States Into 0 , " ? stick by thc Republican partv and Taft in 1912 made it the butt of considerable pleasantry for a time .titer that contest. For a time republicanism was not in im?.1' FX?"1" .ChicaE- Whe lhe Vermont delegation of J Jib visited Chicago, however, they found an entirely differ ent atmosphere. The Green Mountain State was hailed on every hand as one whose republicanism rings true every time. Governor Whitman of New York, who was able to lead only a part of his delegation, spoke in terms of the high est admiration ot Vermont as an "original Hughes State." ne liked the thorough way we do things up here. Another marked contrast found by Vermont as bo tween conditions in the Prairie City in 3 912 and 191G, might have been attributed to the protracted rain of three (lavs but for clear weather the first day. This was the conspicu ous absence of State delegations headed by scores of bands playing There 11 be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-night " iniorini&,into Mlchitfan avenue from every direction, as Ul li , thc Vermont delegation reached the scene, oi the national convention in 1912 the entire lake front op posite the Auditorium and the Congress hotels was one dense sea of animated and enthusiastic humanity cheering waving flags, and shouting for Teddy or hurrahing for When the Vermont delegation arrived in Chicago this year, there was not a single street procession for any candi date whatever m sight. Not until Thursday evening did enthusiasm find vent in a clash between rival candidates, and this took the form of an attempt on the part of the ad herents of Senator Sherman of Illinois, who spoke at the re cent Vermont State republican convention, to tear down the Koosevelt banners in rival headquarters in the Congress, with the cohorts ofl-airbanks from thc Indiana headquarters inter ested firing parties on the side lines. . The republican national convention of 1916 was also a decided contrast to that of 1912 as regards the proceedings in the convention. I' our years ago the Taft and Roosevelt convention adherents began to scrap at the fall of their hats m the Coliseum, the selection of a temporary chairman be ing the basis of the first clinch. This year the national con vention proceedings moved on without a single ripple of con test, as did the Vermont republican convention, until a minority report on the national platform was submitted Ref erence to the initiative, the referendum and the recall in th substitute caused the minority to be audibly smiled out of court, and when Senator Lodge of Massachusetts stated that the differences had been thoroughly considered during the twenty-four hours measuring the work of the committee on resolutions and the minority report represented simply one man, all hope even of a vigorous contest vanished. Vcrmonters who heard the veteran Chauncey M De pew's address before the Vermont republican organization years ago, would be surprised by the virility and force and stirring eloquence with which he addressed the national convention. This speech by New York's famous "Old Man," now an octogenarian, was an inspiration for the younger members of the party, and his reference to the "elder states men" a la Japan's government was a happy hit, especially as he was followed by "Uncle Joe" Cannon of Illinois, who gravely announced that he expected to attend "Chauncey's centennial celebration. Unlike the convention of 1912, that of 1916 did not hinge upon the candidacy of any particular man at the outset. In deed up to Friday morning the convention had not con'sidei ed the name of any possible candidate, and tho opening gun was the adoption of the resolutions by the republican and progressive conventions providing for a conference in order to get together. Tho result of that effort is now history tlou of tho coloiol's namo by tho tcm-l pontvy chairman of the progiosslvo con-j vention started applause which lasted i nu hour and thlrty-thieo minutes, (lathering a bushel of hall Htonoa In Juno and cheering tho mention of a mini's namo for nlnety-thrco minutes are both record-breaking performances.

Ing any man or any deed. Ileal applause- comes lllto tho flaro that lights tlio sky in a thundorstorm. It Is sudden and explosive appreciation. It has no adN.tu.'e agents or publicity scouts. It naturally dies ns suddenly as It begins.

Tho republican platform adopted at the Chlcngo Colllseiun Thursday leaven nothing to l:o said, its brand of Ameri canism cannot bo criticized oven by a Itoosovelt Thero Is no mincing of words In Its denunciation ot the democratic administration's European, Mexlcnn or Philippine policies. H romca out boldly for a protective tariff ns a mcan-f of restoring revenues, "of which wo stand In such dire need.'1 It holds no brief tor the Underwood tariff, as peon In tho opening Kcntcnco of the tariff plank, which rendu: ' "The t'nderwood tnrlff q a complete failure In overy re.peet." Itoosovelt, with Taft, ! commended for his consistent carrying out ot tho McKinley Philippine policy. "Tho few pattlottc democrats." whe assisted the republicans In dofeatlng the administra tion bill to abandon the Philippines, aro not forgotten. In brief, all that tho Republican party has hltheito stood for In Its character of tinUon-bullder It stands for now. One would have to be fastidious, Indeed, to determine wherein the republican and progressive platforms disagree In thrlr declarations of principles, even on tho suffrage question. Tho Moose platform of Wednesday says: "We desire Hint the women of the country shall have the full right of suffrage." The republican platform ot yesterday pays: "The Hepublloan party favors the extension of suffrage to women, but recognizes tho right of each State to pettlo the question for Itself." nu: itiniiT kixii ok iMitTMnisnn. The recent conference of Massa chusetts )ankers on Massachusetts farming, which was. held at the State Agricultural College at Amherst, Is an example ot the suit of convention which tends towards the making of improved economic conditions and the right sort of co-operation and of whK'h wo should have more In this cntintrj. Too often bankers have assembled to talk about rural credits on a basis restricted with in the limits of cashiers' desks and In cluding too little of the broad fields and special necessities of the farmers them selves. The purpose of the Massa chusetts convention was to bring the farm nnd the bank Into more under standing co-operation and Judging from the reports of Its sessions the purpose has not failed of results. Vermont bankers have been among tho most progressive. In thc work of co-operntlng with Vermont farmers In putting their business and property into such shape that the banks could safely aid them in every way possible. This has worked to the advantage of both parties and banks have often discovered, sometimes even with surprise, what good risks tho farmers were under proper conditions, while the farmers have dis covered that a corporation even though possessed of neither body nor soul may extend business aid in tho friendliest of spirits. i'H(i(;iti:ss ix i:di'c.tio.. Tho usual army of graduates which tho United States annually musters at this tlmo is forming and tho usual exhortations aro being given to thoso leaving our colleges and universities. The speaker is rare, however, who does not, in delivering a commencement address this year, mark the changed conditions now prevailing and tho un usual opportunities in Industrial ana commercial work which arc afforded graduates, in .addition to emphasizing tho benefits of special training along these lines. Tile colleges as a whole are to be congratulated upon the way In which they hac recognized the coun try's need for and recognition of the expert, and the way in which they hao set about giving to their students tho special training required by tho world to-day In practically every field of endeavor. This effort Is particularly noticeable In tho fields of engineering, ngricuUure and business. The last few years have marked a rise In engineering education from a field scarcely of eollego rank to ono of university and graduate rnnk. Tho colleges are also thoroughly alive to tho opportunities of tho specialist In the Held of agriculture and, especially In the State colleges, great progress has been made along this line. Work of inestimable benefit hns been done In the Held of business education nnd oven greater projects havo been planned for tho coming years.

His record of achievements stnnips him ns n man of tho highest Ideals and spotloss In tegrity, with a broad outlook on llfo: n man of deeds as well as of words, who would with unfnlterlng courage wago a determined warfare for tho inrrylng out of nil measures which ho wns convlncod would mean tho better- I mcnt of tho public welfare. Tho dignity which has mnrked his demennor through out tho turbulent days preceding the convention, tho deep emotion and ardent patilotlsm which characterized his speech of acceptance and his prompt resignation from his position on the supreme bench In ordor thnt he might devoto himself unreservedly to the election campaign nro Irrefutablo evi dence that former Justice Hughes be lieves (Irmly that It Is his duty as an American citizen to accept tho nomina tion and thnt ho must not fall In his performance of that duty, Tho argument which tho democrats will present In searching for reasons why Mr, Hughes should not be elected, to the effect that tho Supremo Court hns been dragged Into politics, should provo as futllo ns the claim Is false. The greatest elective office within tho power of the American people to confer, should have tho right to seek js occupant anywhere, nnd no ono can consistently find fault with Mr. Hughes' attitude during the search which ended on Saturday at Chicago. Ily neither word nor deed did he at any tlmo show tho slightest Interest In the outcome of tho convention and his prompt resigna tion of his Judicial office wns thor oughly In keeping with the character of the man. The selection of former Vice-President Fairbanks of Indiana as Mr. Hughes' running mate will strengthen tho ticket politically. Tried In the office nnd not found wanting, a man of great ability and clean life, Mr. Fairbanks measures up to what a vice-presidential cnndldato nlwnys should he, but oftentimes Is not, a man In whoso keeping the country would be safe In caso of the death of tho President. If Mr. Hoosevelt nhoilld mako positive his tentative declination of the nomina tion by tho Progressive party, he will furnish further nnd Indisputable proof of his high patriotism and win back thousands of his old admirers In the republican ranks whom ho nllcnatcd four years ago With President Wilson as tho demo cratic nominee tho contest will bo be tween two men of the highest mental and moral character. There will be no tnud-sllnging or personalities, but, rather, a campaign In which the voters of the United States will have an un fettered opportunity to express their opinions nnd voice their wishes on the great questions which confront them at this stago of their national exlstenco. what tiii: rnopi.r: of vkii.moxt mil. The FREE PHRSS congratulates the people of Vermont upon the conspicu ous part they took In bringing nbout the nomination of Hughes for the presidency of the United States. This was duo In thc first plnco largely to the presidential prlmnry, which mado It possible for the country to know absolutely the choice ot Vcrmonters Individually. When one said anywhero that the Gicen Mountain State was for Hughes, theie wns no room for ques tion or argument. But for the result of the primary nny candidate or thc friends of any candidate might have made all Forts of claims as to Vermont. In tho light of that result thc State republican convention asked tho dele gates not only to vote, but also to work for tho nomination of Hughes at Chicago, and It Is unnecessary In the light of what has already been paid at first hand In these columns regarding the work of the delegation to say that the Injunction wns more than obeyed by Vcrmonters In tho Pralrlo City. Tho conspicuous part taken by Ver mont In promoting the nomination of Hughes meant that nothing was too good In the national convention for the representatives of Vermont republicans. The Chicago papers continually put the Vermonters in front In their columns nnd the Oelegntlou saw that the ranks wero kept well closed up, A man from Malno who attended the national convention told the writer that his State threw nway the ehanco which Vermont gladly seized. Tho Pino Tree State's convention wns held long be fore that of Vermont. Instead of tak ing a bold stand for some candidate, tho Malno republicans frittered away their opportunity. If Vermont hnd tied Itself to the "Now England candidate," as did some other States, our delegation would not have been known In the national convention except ns a Weeks pawn, and when ho withdrew his name, wo would havo been left on tho chips ns were other dele gates who blindly allied themselves to a candidacy under tho specious claim ot "New England made." This gratifying rosult Is a new demonstration nnd vindication of tho assertion wo havo often mado that the people can be safely trusted to think straight nnd double right, If they havo the opportunity. A hundred men repre senting all conditions In llfo will think of sonio things tho wisest mnn In tho land would overlook. Indeed, he Is not a wlso man who neglects to consult often with tho man with the boo nnd the man with the trowel nnd the man with tho shovel, j We do not overlook the fact that 1 people of Vermont think nhnut tho 1 people of Vermont think about the trend of sentiment throughout tho northern States ns a whole on funda mental questions. The difference Is thnt tho people of Vermont Insist upon their Inalienable right to think and act for themselves, while in snmo other Stntes BOlf-lmposed leaders Insist upon lotting the people think, but In declining to lot them act for themsotves.
