Of the Republican party In 1902.
No greater disaster could come upon

the removal of Vermont this year from

Its hold upon the Country and TO end
the marvellous prosperity which has
come under the Republican rule.
Vote then for the men whose defeat
our enemy seeks. Vote for the
regular Republican candidates for
town, ror county and for state offices.
Vote for Mccullough and Stanton, plain
men of the people. strong. clean in
corruptible clear headed and warm
hearted; for men who can look upon the
strongest and best, level eyed end
clear, and in their regard for labor and
Its rights, in devotion to our intel csts.
