A vote for the prohibition ticket will be
a vote thrown away this year. The state
election will turn in favor of a referendum
or Of "A high license liquor law direct

nrohibitionst is to vote for the referendum

when the main issue comes before the
whole people.
VICTORY FOR MCCULLOUGH
Q'rom the Vergennes Enterprise)
The battle cry is "McCullough and Re-
publican Safety" Don't let the waverers
be fooled by the lbellous, unproven at
tacks Of the opposition Don't let them
run away with the notion that the Platform
means anything else but what it says.
Don't let them mistake the selfish ambition
and egotistc designs of Clement for any
thing hut what they area stubborn effort
to further his own personal and merCenary
aims 4 leader who owns the most abso-
Lutte, corrupt and interruptions machine in
politics, for such is Clements Rutland city
machine, is no candidate to command the
suffrage Of the honest voter A candidate
who has purchased lying afidavits and
purchased them to the hurt of an honor1-
BILE opponent is no leader for an honest
Eermonter.
And so. trusting in the promises of par

never betrayed a friend or sacred trust.

(From the Barre Time.)
When a newspaper turns to deliberate
perversion of facts to gain its political
ends. il is an open confession that the
cause Of that newspaper has reached
! dire extremity. Time and again has the
! truth Of the same been shown right here
| in Vermont The latest and most notable
manipulation of facts in this state cam
naign is the Rutland Herald, owned and
controlled by T. W. Clement candidate
for governor. In fact the Herald has reach
ed that point of deXterity in shaping its
news dispatches for its own ends that its
attempts have changed from serious
matter to bit of ludicrous bunoonery'
