NOMINATION I doubt if this year's primaries will come up with a surprise - more startling than the one in Montpelier, Vermont. William Meyer, a candidate for the Senate - wae looking over his nominations papers. Examining the list of names - of his backers. His eye, lighting on the name - Robert Johnson ot· Brattleboro. Which startled - Candidate Meyer. What 1 e tti, story? <l'l, just that Johnson is Meyer's opponent - for the nomination. When Meyer threw his hat in the ring some monthe ago - Johnson signed as one of his backers. Later, Johnson developed political ambitions of his own - and filed to run against Meyer. The original signature - still legal. So Vermont has a candidate for the Senate - who is vouched for by his opponent.
