We think it necessary to say word in
behalf of the young ladies who so kindly
have volunteered to make these sociables
so interesting. They are worthy of
much praise. They have been at all
times a success, both socially and finan-
cially.
We would say word in behalf of our
epresentative-elect,D d. Thomas Bates.
He has always been Republican since
his boyhood and has at all times been a
great help to the Republican party. But
it is not necessary for us to dwell at any
length upon this subject, for you all
know him well, he being a live resident
of Pownal, and known to all as an hon
est, upright man. One whom our town
will feel proud of, and one they can
trust to represent them at Montpelier.
One who is capable and has the knowl-
edge of making laws for us. One who
works for the best interests of the labor
ing class of people, and the welfare of
the town he represents. Mr.. Bates has
held the office of selectman for number
of years, and has held many other promi-
nent town Offices with much satisfac-
ton to the town, working for their in
terest at all times and in all respects.
There can naught be said against him.
We congratulate Mr.. Bates on his cleo
ton and know the majority of the voters
knew he was the right man in the right
nlara
