HOW DO WE STAND 7

In FIVE or six weeks from the present time
our annual election will be upon US. The
two principal parties have their candidates
in nomination very generally, and the next
article in the bill. is 10 elect them.

There is, however, a remedy for all these
fearful forebodings. The wing party of
Vermont possesses giant strength. The
remedy lies in the hands of the wings
