| Show IL r Today's Result in Vermont Keenly Awaited by Public politicians rather seem een to be o overestimating THE rj I the tho importance of or toda today's rs r's le results in Vermont I While bile the lie vote yote for state officers there with Republican Democratic and Bull Moose loose candidates in the field will unquestionably indicate the tho sentiment senti senti- I ment meat that prevails very largely throughout the United States at the pr present sent time it b by no means menns 0 will bo be conclusive e as to the probable trend of that sentiment on November 5 Students of or the political 0 history of the United States Slates and the political camI campaigns cam cain I which have ha been fought since the convention system came into existence will recall many instances instances in in- stances when the political complexion of the nation has been changed almost over night It is certain that it is tho the conservative conser candidate who has most to gain by the passage of time and whose strength is increased by a long campaign It is for such reasons as these that the result in Vermont today is much more important to the Democrats Democrats Democrats Demo Demo- and the Roosevelt party than it is to the Re Re- publicans While Vermont is a Republican state and any change from that condition will be bo decidedly unsatisfactory factory to those who are supporting Mn Mr Taft t for a second term the result in that state stale will by byno byno no means be conclusive so far as it concerns the final result in November ember Much water will run nm under the bridge between this date and that of the general elect election on and the tho rapid and constant fluctuations fluctuations of public sentiment will soon render this Vermont Vermont Vermont Ver Ver- mont result of little account And we utter this opinion in the full fuU confidence that Mr Taft will carry the state since this was one ono of those commonwealths commonwealths commonwealths common common- that gave him hini their support in tho primary election previous to the Cl Chicago cago convention It is generally agreed that President Taft is much stronger with the people at this timo time than he heI J I was immediately following the convention The blatant charges of Mr Roosevelt that he had been defrauded and that the nomination had been stolen from him impressed those who had no knowledge of the facts The e explanation that has been given f the lie i. i excellent statement put forward by the Republican r national committee and the calm processes of logic p which incontrovertibly show that Colonel Roosevelt Roose could not have controlled the convention even had v f he ho b been en given tho the two seventy-two delegates which were in In dispute e had their effect upon public opinion and the great mass of the Republican party has hns de decided dc- dc tr that there is no reason why President Taft should not be re elected with tho the hearty support of I its entire membership p. p This feeling intensifies each ench day and the two months which will pass between the I date of the Vermont state election and the general election in November will contribute much towards making the President stronger with his own party and with the people generally lly I 1 1 I 1 ALT T LAKE AKE has good reason rea rca I I Labor Labor D Day y I S ST SALT son to

the I Labor Day parade Tramping through the streets to indicate ones one's espousal of an idea is no not BO eo o popular in America as it once was and the desire of the work- work when he has a day to himself to enjoy himself quietly in his own way has militated in the past few years against the number in Labor Day parades But while the procession was not so great numerically as some som that have tramped Main street in past years since the tho parade idea was begun there was no lacking of enthusiasm The crowds that lined j the streets gave indication of the interest taken in inthe the doings of union labor and the consciousness of the people in the importance of its organizations The time has hns passed in America when persons engaged in avocations which were neither directly helped nor hindered by the mobilizing of labors labor's strength into organizations thought the unions inimical to their own welfare A broader education 4 and a better understanding of the part wl which ch union I labor plays in tho the industrial drama has shown them that whatever conduces to better tho th condition of I the workingman and to make him a more mOte useful and independent citizen is conducive e also to betterment bettor better ment in the conditions of others no matter what the branch of activity in which they may be engaged Union labor is a force which must be reckoned with and a study of the men who marched through the streets yesterday shows them to be of a type that 1 will take no stand that will be harmful to others no matter how much it may help their own circum circum- I stances
