WHAT THESE FIoUREs rEAcH


If this is not an example of good gov
eminent in state affairs where can such
an example be found? The Republican
party from the very beginning of it's
reign Of power in Vermont has always
worked for the best interests of the state
and the people. Vermont has today a
state government that would be abso-
utely impossible in almost any other
state in the Union, a government which
keen students Of political economy look
upon with admiration and wonder. But
it is not necessary TO quote outside theo-
rists, when every voter in Vermont who
has honestly looked into conditions in
other states knows that in all the country
or in all the world there is no better and
cleaner government than exists and has
existed in his own mountain common
wealth.
Why this is so may be attributed to
several causes, but the chief cause is
that the men who have made our laws
and executed them have been and are
thoroughly honest and devoted TO the
welfare OF the state and peoule. That
is also why the Republican party has such
"a hold upon Vermont, and that is the only
/ reason.
Boodleism and graft. those twin de-
mons Of political corruption which so
with the rule of the Democratic party
just as surely as night follows sunset or
the buzzard follows where carrion
abounds, have never brought disgrace
to Vermont and just so long as YER
monters remain true to the honesty which
now permeatos the political life Of the
- "a 70 u, %
Green Mountain home.
If the Democratic advertising agent.
who has been giving the voters of the
state so excellent an example of what
Democratic honesty really is, knows
the most patent facts concerning the
history of government by his party in
other states and cities, he knows that
the story is one of corruption without
limit and graft without restriction. II
he is ordinarily intelligent. which may
be gravely doubted when some of his
utterances in this campaign are consid-
cred, he knows just why the very great
majority Of Vermonters are Republicans
He knows their governors have been hon
est and able; that their legislators have
been clean and above suspicion, and he
also knows that as a people Vermonters
admire civic decency, and that the DEM
ocratic record as it has been studied and
observed by the people of the state is so
void of these things that the thoughtful
voter turns from it as a song bird would
flee from Shiny serpent. In brief Mr.
Democratic Advertising Agent the voters
/ of Vermont know by experience that the
Republican party in the state is able and
honest and they trust it; they also know
hnf he. No IT,
been in power in other states has gem
orally proven dishonest and incapable
and they will not, and dare not trust it,
IN CONCLUSION.
Do not Vermont Republicans desire to
resent the impeachment of their party
by the Democratic state committee
through this advertising agent?
Do not Vermont Republicans wish to
vindicate the party and men who have
worked long, hard and successfully to
, give the state a good clean government
without burdening the people?
Do not Vermont Republicans want to
: continue to hold the important place in
the politics of the nation they now hold
as an indicator in Presidential elections ?
And finally do not Vermont Republic
cans want to have their share in elect
ing Theodore Roosevelt, the honest, able,
and fearless leader. and in defeating AL
ton b. Parker, the colorless and unknown
automaton chosen by a deservedly dis
rupted party which was compelled to
: bring an entire stranger forward as its
candidate because the party did not dare
I trust any of the known Democrats in a
| contest before the people?
E II Vermont Republicans agree with
these propositions there is very
simple and effective way in which they
can help nightly. All they need do IL
; to go to the polls on Tuesday, September
6, remind others of this duty, and VOTE
S FOR BELL AND STEARNs.
