Here's TO the undaunted and
pnterrified democrats of Vermont.
or al the Democrats IN our sis
ssrhood Sk states, the Vermont
Democrats ;ars@the, pluckiest.
Without inspiration OF hope, with
sure and certain defeat, always
.ia-snO thar. In Aha -fsnAs- fns
over half q century the Vermont
Democrats have gone to the polls
rain or shine, and cast their votes
for the political principals they
professed. The Vermont Demo.
Gratis have just nominated their
State ticket, and have inaugural.
cd an active campaign. Such
Democrats who have continued
for years In spite Of uninterrupted
and overwhelming defeat, 10 con.
tend for what they think is right
and best, deserve to win, and ul-
lsima.ely wilt. In 1872, Vermont
cast 10,927 Democratic votes and
in 1908, 11,49e votes, . gain Of
500 votes In SO years, an average
OF about 16 q year. Vermont Re-
publicsns cast Al, ,481 votes IN
1872 and S9,552 In 1908, q loss Of
1,o29 in SO years, an average Of
"a 9 year. The Republican plur-
slity is 2s,O66. So It can be seen
the Democrats are not losing
ground, and this 10 giving them
courage. At this rate Of gain by
the Democrats and loss by the
Republicans, the Democrats have
good reason to expect, by res
naming loyal, 10 capture the
state in 401 years, and in 2S12
there 10 svsry reason 10 believe
that the plucky Vermont Demo-
Gratis will hand the electoral vote
Of that state TO the Democratic
candidate for president. II The
Democrats Of the country every
