Opposed To Anything Almost"
We are not in favor Of the "any-
thing to-beat-Me lead" attitude, and
what is more, we do not believe it is
necessary to resort to such tactics in
Vermont politics. People who are op
posed to DR.. Mead can win out by
playing fair, and only in this way.
The day has passed when one candi-
date can be built up by ripping the
Innings out of another. furthermore,
we do not believe that Mr.. Fleetwood

The First Demand.
The Morrisville Messenger thinks
the nomination of DR.. Mead would
mean that no poor man need ever
hereafter aspire to the governorShip.
The Lamollle county contemporary
seems to be running short of argu-
ments early in the campaign. If the
Messengers memory were half as
l)ng as it's ears. it would easily see
the utter absurdity or such a state
m ent.
For a single example: General Nc
Cullough is classed as one of our veal

enthusiasm that carried all opposi

Would it not be fairer to admit that
} it is the man and not his money, af-
ter all, that is the real determining
factor? It is an insult to the YER
mont electorate to say that one candi-
] dates success is assured because of
, his wealth, or that another's failure
is a forgone conclusion because of
his lack of this worlds goods.
In other words, when the right
man for the place is in the running,
the choice can be easily made.
