DEBOER TELLS THE
PRESS ITS DUTY

Montpelicr. Dec 20-rhe DeBoer club
had a meeting tonight in the rooms on
Elm street which was attended by I've
tween so and 60 members and was at
times wildly enthusiastic. President
James NJ. Boutwell, presided and said
that although it had not been thouSht
of in advance he would call on Mr.. De-
Boer for a speech,
Mr.. DeBoer said tina; a few weeks ago
a certain man in Burlington, wholly
withou, solicitation. put in a day Of mis-
time and secured the names Of l5i peo-
pie In that city on a paper which was
sent to this city TO invite-the speaker TO
address a meeting in Burlington.
Then it was found that 1t would be
necessary to supply a place in which
the address should be given and the only
available place was found to be The
Strong theatre, which would cost So
for the night. It was also found that
there would he other items OF expense, a
total OF about Sl-6.
The speaker went on to say that he
claimed the distinction Of having spoken
to the people of Burlington as a candi-
date for governor at their invitation and
at their expense, something which 10 his
knowledge had never been done before.
He said that some papers like the
Bristol Herald White River Junction
Landmark and Ludlow Tribune had
sought through their editorial columns
to prove that his coming into the cam.
paiGn was criticism of the measures
used by other candidates for the ~
fee, both successful and otherwise.
He said he understood that as high rs

he had seen ren sacrifice their BUSH
ness, their families and their healrn to
win the offices Of the State and had
seen them como to the chair of the
governorship Impaired in health and
with injured business. He said tia:
when Vermont politicians had come To
such Il state OF affairs he thought it
time for a shift

said the speaker, is to reflect public

This is not being done in this state, he

Years prior to the time he was asked 10
