Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1848-09-29

gT We commend TO the attention Of the
Wings Of this county, the following letter from
the former Chairman Of the State Committee.
II Is indeed time for thorough, systematic organ
ization, If We would preserve the Wing ascen-
dancy IN this State.
Ii will not do 10 rest upon our arms, because
we have just achieved victory. That victory
has been nearly lost for want of organization
and systematic effort 1t was gained at last, not
by means of a general and thorough organiza-
ton, but in spite of its absence; and the extreme
hazard to which it exposed US, should teach
lesson for November.
There is no other way TO secure a full vote,
but an organization which shall reach every indi-
vidual; and we call upon the town committees
OF this county to commence in season. Scarcely
SIX weeks remain to us, and much remains 10 be
done We have an "able State Committee"
who are doing wonders in the way of organizing
the Wing forces for the November contest, but
something, after ALL must be left for the coun-
ties to do.
BURLINGTON, Sept. IS, ls4s.
To The Editor Of the Free Press:
We have but about six weeks before the whole
country will be called upon to cast their votes
for Presidential Electors | cannot learn that
our State Committee have made any arrange
ments for the organization of the Wing party
yet without close and thorough organization,
this little Wing " star that never sets" will be in
danger, and may 90 down.
1t is your duty, and the duty of your associate
Wing Editors, to call upon those entrusted with
the duty Of organizing the Wings of Vermont to
H. H., IL. n. i L
thorough. Let every county, town and school
district, be in thorough organization and ready
for the contest
1t must now be clear to every observing man,
that the contest is between Gen. Taylor and
Lewis CAST can see no other issue. II we
elect Gen. Taylor, VIC asSuredly return to that
high state Of prosperity enjoyed under the tariff
of 1912, and American industry will be protect
ed and cherished. If, ON the contrary, Cass
should be elected, the country is to be flooded
with foreign importations, and We are to be
drained OF the last doar-the industry of our
countrymen neglected and paralyzed.
Further-if we elect Gen. Taylor, we elect
Mr. Fillmore, that fast friend of American indus
try. Mr. Fillmore, if elected, will hold the bal
ance OF power in the u S. Senate, upon that
great and important question, the extension of
Slavery. Wecan trust this question to him with
entire confidence.
Therefore, let the Wings of this State be or
ganized. Organization will carry the State
through the coming contest trumphantly. Or
ganzation did it in ls44. Organization brought
$4,000 Green Mountain Boys here in 1910, and
10000 in 1874. Let the watch-word Organ
ize Organize Il Organize ~" run through the
Wing ranks, and old Vermont will come out Of
the contest, the bright Wing " star that never
sets" Is there a Wing that will not cast his vote
for our excellent Ticket? The names are only
TO be mentioned, to ensure every Wing vote.
WIN the names of Fairbanks, Follett, Tracy,
Hodges, Catlin, Cleveland, be scratched by any
man who has ever been Wing in Vermont
NEVER --let us only organize, and all is well.
Respectfully yours,
HARRY BRADLEY.
