Niu Prominence Ia Vermont. loung
men are holding important Offices IN tie
state today. They are proving their
ability to 90 higher aud they Will 30
higher if they convince the people that
Iiys-r affairs will he safe Ia their hands.
The govrrnorship demands a man oil
tried executive aud business ability, a.
man Who is used TO handling big things
that he will be safe against the tempta-
tinus and snares that are often laid Ter
those who are in position to favor hig
interests.
The interests aud Influences that are
the greatest menace to Vermont or any
other state are always against strong
man, man who knows the game, who
has made his way, who cannot be fooled
or cajoled.

Vermont does not demand rich MAJ
for governor but it does demand maj
II who has the industry, the ability, AM
'e the singleness of purpose that every maj
III must have who succeeds, whether hi
success is treasured by the winning o
money or by other accomplishments.
Vermont wants DR.. Mead because b
