Sound Advice. Wings, Organ
ize!

We have received letter from gentle
man long prominent in the Wing ranks in
Vermont, which conveys advice SO excellent
and timely that we take the liberty to publish
il entire. No man contributed more to the
noble and universal organization ofthe Wing
party in Vermont, which secured the trium-
phant vote ofIS40, than he ;-and If the wise
and considerate counsels he gives below are
Needed as they ought TO be. the Wing Victo-
nv in Vermont will be scarcely less signal in
IS4S.
We do not pretend TO know what steps our
able State Committee are taking, in anticlpa-
ton of the coming Presidential Election, but
we do know that Mr. BRADLEY does not in
the least over-estnnte the vital importance
of.thorough organization" We can tell the
Wings of Vermont that attempt tcH be
made to unite The oil and vinegar Of CdSSiSm and
Van BreniSn, for the arotced purpose Of defeat
ing The Whigs The Locofoco wire-puIers
of the Free Soil movement in favor of Van
Buren,, having signalIy failed to draw off any
considerable portion of the Wines into the
support of the most incorporating pro-
slauery man that the North ever raised, are
now ,naneuuering to effect n union with their ~
brethren of the Cass AMI Butler party 10 pre-
vent Gen. Taylor from receiving the elector- .
al vote of Vermont, and thus aid in securing
the election of CasS Let the Wings, and
the Whig Free Soil men ofVernont, look TO
it, The Locofocos who secured the nomi-
nation ofVan Buren, at Utica and Buffalo,
prefer Cass to Gen. TAYLOR. John Fan Bu-
rem himself in his speech at New York, inn
med;aiely after the Baltimore Convention
declared that:'their the Barnburners' FIRST
OBJECT WAS TO DEFEAT THE
WINGS r',ohigS Of Vermont ooK TO 1T 1.-THE
contest is between Le,oiS CdSsand Gen. TAY-
LoR. M Van Buren, cannot recejUe a solitary
electoral rote in the Union. Mark this And
remember, as Mr. WEBSTER emphatically
says, that "EVERY WING VOTE GIVEN
TO MIR VAN buren, DIRECTLY AIDS
THE ELECTION OF MIR CASS." Let
the true Whigs of Vermont understand this
miserable plot 10 overturn their proud as
tendency in the State, and secure the cleo
ton of Lewis Cass, and let them organize
aud meet it, and they cam ms heretofore, de-
feat all combinations of LocOfocoism that may
be arrayed against them The following Is
Mr. BRADLEY's leucr:-
BURLINGroN, Sept. 1S, 1913.
| CLARK-Dear Sir I'VE have hut about
six weeks before the whole country will be
called upon TO cast their votes for Presden-
tia Electors. ] cannot learn that our State
! Committee have made any arrangements for
| the organizations of the Wing Party-witi-.
out close and thorough organization, this
! little Wing star "that never sets" will be in
danger, and may go down.
Ii is your duty, and the duty of your asso-
ciate Wing Editors. to cali upon those enrus-
ted with the duty oforganizing the Wings OF
Vermont to be up and doing,and that AT once.
II should be ihol ough Let every county,
town, and school district, be in thorough Or
ganzaton and ready for the contest.
1t must now be clear to every observing
man, that the contest is between Gen. Taylor
and Lewis Cnss,-l can see no other issue.
II we elect Gen. Taylor, we assuredy return
to that high state of prosperity had under the
Tariff of 1912, and American industry will
lie projected and cherished. II, on the con-
trary, Cass should he elected, the country is
TO be flooded with foreign importations, and
we are to he drained of the last, last dollar
the industry of our countrymen neglected
and paralyzed.
Further-if we elect Gen. TAYLOR. we
elect MIR FILLMORE, who if elected, will hold
the balance of power in the US .Senate,u
that great and important question, the extern
sion of Slavery. We can trust this question
to him with entire confidence. Therefore,
let the Wings of this State be organized
: Organization will carry this State through
| the coming contest triumphantly. Organize
ton did it in 1914. Organization brought
$4,000 Green Mountain Boys here in 1910 and
10000 in 1914. Let the watch word "Or-
ganize ! Organize Organize y run
: through the Wing ranks, and old Vermont
, will come out of the contest the bright Wing
Star that never sets. Is there Wing that
will not cast his vote for our excellent Tick
ct? The names are only to lie mentioned 10
ensure every Wing vote. Will the names oil
e Fairbanks, Follett, Tracy, Hodges, Catlin,
e Cleveland, be scratched by any man who
d has ever been Wing in Vermont NEVER
q let us only organize, and all is well.
g Respectfully Yours,
