THE PUTNEY COLUMN

Mr. Clement has plank in his platform
which reads: I'VE charge the Republican
machine of Vermont with continuing the
rotten borough system to maintain its
absolute supremacy"
And Mr. Clement pledges his best efforts
to secure an amendment to change the
present system of representation from
towns to districts. This means that your
town will have no representative in the
legislature; that your town win become
one of a chain of towns and that this
chain of towns will elect representative.
Will you stand for 1t?
There's just one way to avoid this
Clement plan and that is to vote the
straight Republican ticket.
