1t is none too early to discuss the
question of whom should be elected to
succeed Adj. Gen. Theo. Peck, the
man who did not : resign. Several
good names have been suggested
but. if the state wants Ahe best man,
a mar who thoroughly understands
the work that needs to be done and
has the courage and back bone to do
it; a man who believes the National
Guard Of Vermont should be a body
of we'll trained soldiers, and the annual
muster a place of real traininga and work
not for a display Of the brigade off,
GERS, etc, it will elect Capt. Frank l..
Greene Of st. Adams. He is not the
mar to enter into any scramble for
the office and if elected it will be be-
cause the office seeks the man not the
mar the Office. We know MI. Greene
intimately and know, as does every
member OF the National Guard, that
he is in every way worthy Of the honor
and qualified to render the state eff
cient service. He would make an
officer like Gen. Gilmore, thorough,
systematic, efficient and economical.
Elect the best nan Capt. Frank L.
Greene.
