Mrs. A. A. Wyman spoke IN praise of
the daring of Commodore Dewey, and in
PRODUCED States Attorney C. H. Robb as
another who had surprised the enemy.
Extracts from his remarks follow
women have the courage of their con-
wctions oitener than men.
You have right to know the attitude
toward prohibition of any candidate for
office; see that only pronounced prohibi-
tionists get a seat in the legislature.
The more see of the prohibitory law
and the more l have to do with its enforce
ment, the more enthusiastic I am in its
support. I have lived in license states and |
am convinced that we do not want license
in Vermont
The man who finds fault with the present
law and says it does not prohibit is the
man who has the rum interests at heart.
1T man sells rum call him by the right
name, rum-seller. Right here in Bel
ows Falls was an illustration OF how some
people want the law enforced. A man
who was given every warning was finally
prose cuted and sent to Rutland, and yet
people who are protested prohibitionists
md shout for the enforcement OF the law
Ictually put their names to petition to
he governor to have this man pardoned. l
lie had caused 10000 times more trouble
han the law ever caused him. Ii
Girls should remember that they are
power for good in the community, but if \
hey cannot reform a man before they d
marry him they never can afterwards; they
hould remember this -
