FROM Mr.. BROWN
Democratic Candidate for Senator
Expresses His Views

Expresses IT'S views
To the voters Of Bennington Coun-
ty:-Belieying that the voters have a
right to know where a candidate
stands upon questions of public in
terest, | take pleasure in handing you
brief statement of my views upon
the matters that seem to me Of spec
ial importance:
| believe that the common people,
whose labor produces the wealth,
that makes this state a possibility,
are entitled to first consideration in
the Legislation of the State. and that
their interests should not be sacrifc-
ed for the dreamy theories of cranks
and fanatics, or for the benefit OF
privilege seeking politicians.
l believe Our people need Substan
tian Sanitary Public Buildings; the
best schools and the best roads OBJ
tainable; and that the strictest econ
omy along other lines should be in
sisted upon until we get them. Thi:
seems to me far more important
THAN increased salaries for the mem
bers of our Legislature or soft State
jobs" for the friends of Vermontl
Successful Politicians.
| | believe that the man who work.
is entitled TO as much consideration
as the beasts and birds which thronl
our woods or the fish which haun
our streams. And that until tn
State shall make ample provision 70
the education of his children. Pre-
tect him from the hazards of hi
work by an efficient Employees l.
ability Act and defend him in tn
hour OF adversely from the unjus
Trustee Process Law. The State ha
better give preference to our huma
kind In protective Legislation:
AS the free expression of the pc,
pies will is absolutely necessary fc
the preservation of good government
believe a Direct Primary La
should be enacted so that all cand
dates for State and County electly
officials will be nominated by a nj
jority OF the actual voters, in II
several parties and so avoid the da
ger OF domination by corrupt politics
bosses.
Our Fish and Game interests are a
asset Of real value to the State, an
should be conserved by prudent Legi
lation.
II Our eight years experience with
License Law has clearly shown tn
Local Option is the only practlc
way 10 deal with the Liquor trait
And the claim that Prohibition Is
better temperance law has beI
shown to be brazen imposition up,
the credulity OF our citizens. h
lieve the law should be amende
That the people should select the !
cense Commissioners and that IA
proportion OF the money paid for
censes should be given TO the tow
where licenses are granted.
II | believe the Tax Laws should
revised In such manner as to 4
courage manufacturers to cor
among us and to enable capital
find profitable investments In o
State. and that Il should be so fran
that no semblance OF Double Tal
ton" shall remain upon our Statu
books.
Vermont is farming State. +
vast majority of our citizens are
gagged in agricultural pursuits, /
lieve their interests should recei
the most serious consideration of O
Legislature. Good roads, and III
class country schools are prli
necessity with them and should
guaranteed TO each community
specific laws enacted TO that end.
they are the best judges OF their pl
lie needs, | believe their views
expressed by the farmers organi
lions should receive the respectful
tention OF our Legislature.
| The questions OF State governm,
| are purely business matters, a
| should be settled upon their mel
| as business propositions, partlsans
| has no just place In the contenti
| SO long as II remains a domlnat
| force, the most progressive COVE
| ment will be impossible OF ACHE
| ment.
Ill | think my record In the Iegi
| ture will show that have alw
| stood for the best interests OF
| county, regardless OF any parts
| ship. II elected Il viii be my an
| ton to so conduct myself that no
| lien OF Bennington County will h
occasion to regret my election.
I'LL Very respectfully.
