FOR REPRESENTATIVE,
GEORGE N. TILDEN.
Communicated

I
We desire to call the attention oi
the voters OF the city of Barre to few
Of the reasons why they should vote fol
George n. Tilden for city representative
to morrow.
First Because Mr.. Tilden is man
who will represent all the citizens of the
city of Barre and because we are not
urging his election on mere partisan
grounds,
Second Because Mr.. Tilden will work
for an do all in his power TO secure the
passage of an employers liability law,
in which so many citizens of the city
of Barre are interested.
Third Because of his sound common
sense, good Judgment and ability, Mr..
Tilden will, il elected be one of the
strong men in the house of representa-
tives of 1908. Despite statements to
the contrary by bitter partisan oppon-
ents. men like Mr. Tilden, no matter to
what political party they belong. will
receive proper recognition in the appoint.
ment of committees.
The argument that Democratic rep-
resentative would not receive as much
recognition on committee appointments
as a Republican would, has been made
in other campaigns in this city. Let
us look at the facts in regard to this.
Barre was represented in the general as
sembly by Democrat in 1898. in 1900
in 1902 and in 1904. We make the as
sertion. and we win not be contradicted.
that the Democratic representatives OF
Barre during those four legislative ses-
sions held more important committee ap-
pointments than were held by the four
preceding Republican representatives.
