days and you have one dollar left.
The progressive farmer to-day is
making more money than he did in
1870. So say we wan none OF
Clements sympathy. All we farmers
want is to keep Clement out of the
governors chair. He says there is a
machine that runs our elections and
they know six years ahead who is to
be governor. Well, l suppose he
knows. for he once was a cog in the
same machine. I suppose all they
have to do to get a governor is to
turn a crank and out he drops. Well,
when Clement dropped out of this
machine he dropped out at the wrong
side and has been lodging around
for four years to find hole where
he can crawl Through into the gov
ernor's chair, but we will try to keep
allof the bars up.

well the two men and see which has
the cleanest record in Vermont; then
