Gov Hoff shifts stance on a November special session and leans on a broader reading of the court order. If the 1965 legislature can handle routine business and reapportion itself by April 1, new elections would occur, then a normal legislative agenda resumes. The piece weighs leadership assurances, party shifts after Tuesday’s elections, and the risk of delay if lawmakers bicker over redistricting. It also urges Johnson to reappoint Vermonter Charles R. Ross to the Federal Power Commission to demonstrate national unity.
The column notes the 1964 presidential vote rejecting racist appeals led by Gov. George Wallace and the withdrawal of Wallace from national race after Goldwater's nomination. It details Wallace's Northern primary shows and the shift of southern states, with emphasis on the broader rejection of color prejudice beyond the Deep South.
A Washington Evening Star column argues business leaders now shape public opinion, notes Goldwater Johnson politics, and highlights Vermont's Hoff leadership as Democrats claim a two party state. The piece reflects on national campaigns, race, and regional shifts with emphasis on industrial power and political realignments.
The column analyzes Vermont GOP leadership after a crushing statewide defeat. It cites Richard A. Snelling, Rich ard Foote, Richard Billings Jr., and others, arguing the party must unite behind an unblemished leader like Franklin S. Billings Jr. while Democrats gain from the split. It notes internal rifts, recent election results, and pundit predictions.
A boy visits a drugstore and asks for five cents' worth of asafetida. The clerk climbs a ladder to fetch it, wraps it, and the boy tries to pay. The pharmacist balks at writing the long Polish name for a nickel, sparking a humorous exchange.
Claude Casey Milt King and Al Laber of Manchester returned from a Montana hunting trip targeting elk deer and antelope. Weather kept elk high in 11000 foot mountains, so the party shifted to Southeastern Montana for mule deer where deer are abundant. They brought back six mule deer and three antelope, with rifles scoped for long shots. They logged 5500 miles and note elk licenses cost 100 dollars and two weeks travel. A deer checking station will operate November 14 15 at Jerry Sargood Gulf Station Arlington with additional stations statewide to weigh age and measure deer for Vermont deer research.
