The nominees for various offices at
the hands of the republican party in
Vermont are representative of the
states best citizenship. Ali possess
the ability and the experience to give
the state, as state officials, such service
as the progressive tone of the plat
form and progressive republicanism
OF the hour demand.
The Hon. John A. Mead of Rutland,
candidate for governor, whose long
and successful business experience
qualities him in an eminent degree to
direct the business affairs of the state
government, pledges himself to give
his best efforts to maintain the ex-
cellent conditions which the various
departments of the state government
now exemplify, and to still further de-
Velop and perfect the effectiveness of
these departments as their best use
fulneSs under the tide of progress
may demand. The Hon. Leighton P.
Slack OF ST Johnsbury, nominee for
acknowledgements, possesses every
qualification for the office named and
so, too, is the case with the nominees
Tor treasurer, secretary of state, aud
1tor OF accounts and encouragement
all OF whom are present incumbents
with most congratulatory records
Commend Proctor and Prouty.
AT this time it is exceedingly graft
tying that republicans of Vermont may
look with pride upon the business con-
d1tlons of the state. Under the direc-
ton OF trained business men in the
executive office, Governor Fletcher D. |
Proctor in the recent past and Govern |
or George H. Prouty of the present. |
bearing upon the states administrat- |
I've affairs, all departments of the state |
government. are in a higher state of |
than ever before. Finan- |
c1ally, notwithstanding larger ex-
penSeS than formerly, the balance in |
the treasury is in excess aof all pre-
71ous records. The income of the state
and its collection by the state tax
commissioner is on a more certain
basis than previously and a perfected
system in the |
no careleSSneSS in the expenditure of
this income. All of the state insti-
buttons, including the states prison.
The house of correction, the indus
rial school and the hospital for the
insane show the same cOngratuIatorv |
conditions from the business stand
point. Never did the republican party |
II Vermont possess better reasons or |
greater assets in argument for con-
1nu1ng dominant in state affairs than
1t the present time.
therefore, the republican state com
n1ttee of Vermont, appeals to the cleo
crate OF Vermont, to party veterans
IND to young men who will vote in
for the first time alike. in
is laudable endeavor to make the re-
publican majority in Vermont, in the |
coming election, something that shall |
peak emphatica1ly to the country in |
Endorsement of republican principles
t home and wherever they are in
o1Ved throughout the nation.
