Organise to Vote Your Town Dry

1t is the time of year when plans should be work
ed for the spring municipal elections Every town
that is wet where it is possible to vote the ques
ton, should begin at to get ready for the local
option campaign. This is unceasing and uncompro-
missing war, and will last long there is saloon
left in the nation.
1t is too early to begin the actual campaign, but
it is not too early to organize for the fight Begin
organized and systematic campaign of personal work
Make card induces of all voters in the town who
known to be against the saloon, then begin a
paign on the rest both with personal interviews and
with literature. Many votes for the saloon
through misinformation; reach him and find out
what the trouble u.s. then furnish him information that
the specific point that is perplexng him. The
result is worth all the effort that it takes Most
can be won if approached in the right way Sit down
and talk with them one neghbor with another.
Do not wait for public meetings or for hurryup
campaign Very few converts made in. such times
The proper time to reach man and to influence him
with facts is before his mind is set in the heat of
campaign.

The Jackpot Legislature

A question asked us probably more often than any
other is why do not give support to every
didate who desires to who is favorable to
propositions letter from good friend of the cause
received recently asks this question: IF is
recommended because he is right why not recommend
all who right?"
We have before bound volume of the Illinois
Issue for the year 1908 that tells the story of the
pot legislature the that endangered our present
local option law The records show that in that
pagn all candidates were endorsed who were right on
our propositions In some districts there were five
dry candidates, while the saloon people put UP only
the number who had chance to win The results Of
the primary and election that in number of dis
trcts where the vote was Overwhelmingly dry the
liquor candidates nominated and elected Why
this so? 1t is simple problem in arithmetic.
Suppose the dry vote 10000 certain district and
the wet vote is 10000 The VOTE properly distributed
would secure the election of three dry candidates.
But suppose we do as we did in those cases. divide
that vote between six dry candidates. when only three
could be elected, and the liquor people divide their
vote between two wet candidates. what would be the
results of the election en-yearold boy
In number of it meant two wet representatives
when the district should have solid dry representa-
ton
1t really embarrasses us to think there ever was
time when it necessary to try out proposition
like that, and yet it to have been necessary in
order to prove for all time that must concentrate
our efforts upon the required number of candidates.
We need only to refer friends to that bitter
perence to prove to them that we have been taught
for the entire that must concentrate forces
This should teach all Our friends the necessity of
forming strictly to this fundamental principle of
organization

"What is 'Sal-Vet,' Mr.. Gibson?"
II understand Sal-Vet to be a vege-
table salt deposit taken from a depth
of $500 feet below the surface and is
put through processes which purify it
by disqualification in hot kilns,
making the salt almost volatile in the
facility of its assimilations /; a logical
vehicle for administering the medi-
cinal elements which are incorporated
with it. The salt gives a base and
bulk and renders it palatable. It
contains a number of tried medical
ingredients which animals in their
natural state are prompt to seek.
and by mechanical devices is scientific
ally treated under the direction of
Mr.. Sidney R. Fell, a registered phar-
macist: Here is a pamphlet that will
tell you better than I can.
81 have suggested to Mr.. Fell that
he make a vegetable salt for table
use and medicate it for the human
race, and I believe such a remedy will
soon be manufactured"
"What is the name Of your horse,
Mr.. Gibson?" "His name is Dan. sir.
not the International Dan Patch but
the local Dan Sal-Vet in northern
Vermont. He is % years old and was
not expected to winter. but he has ac-
cess to Sal-Vet and helps himself to it
when he likes and is the quickest
horse of his g in the country"

Why Savings Banks Are
Essential.

Because people having money TO
invest are often tempted by designing
persons to go invo schemes which,
while promising large returns, usually
bring disaster.
Probably there are no shrewd,
far sighted, conservative investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men-men who
make the study of investments their
life work; who pass upon all applica-
tons for loans and Investments; and
it is a fact which anyone can verify
by getting the insurance companies
reports, that four to five per cent
interest is all these companies are
able to make their loans average.
Those schemers who would go to
unsophisticated women or inexperi-
enced men and tell them that they
could just as well get six per cent as
four, we'll know that if their schemes
were solid, substantial and safe, they
could borrow money by the million
from these life insurance companies.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company of Hyde Park
never takes a note paying over six
per cent.
If. any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six
per cent, it turns it down, because it
wants no better evidence that it is
dangerous than the fact that it offers
to pay more than six per cent.
What is the result?
In it's more than twenty three years
of existence, this bank has never lost
a dollar by a poor note.
"Safety rather than high rates of
interest" is it's motto; and, knowing
this, %depositors, not only from YER
mont, but from every State In the
Union Except three) select the Hyde
Park Bank as a place of deposit for
their savings.
You can send your funds there by
mail with absolute safety, and it is
perfectly safe to send them either in
registered letter, postal money order.
bank draft, personal check, or ex-
press money order.
During the entire existence of the
; Hyde Park Bank, not a dollar sent to
} it by mail has ever been lost.
:. This bank pays four per cent, COM
pounded semi-annually, and pays all
taxes.
!? If you want to know all about it's
assets, liabilities, management etc.,
address a letter to Carroll 8. Page,
President, or F. M. Culver, Treasurer,
Hyde Park, Vermont, asking there
for, and you will receive prompt
reply.

REvOLTs OF NE!GHBORs
Senator Nelson Informs the Senate
Are Engineered Here

NtS
Washington, June 10.-'Insurrec-
lions in Cuba and revolutions in Mex
leo are fomented and financed in the
United States. The purpose is to
force the annexation of Cuba and such
portions of Mexico as are most pro-
ductive in mining resources. Purely
selfish motives are behind both of
these movements"
This is the startling declaration
made in the senate by Senator Nell
son. He sought to remedy the situa-
ton by an Investigation and ascertain
just who are behind these emeutes.
He believes that when the actual facts
were known it would be possible to
apply an appropriate remedy.
It was the emphatic opinion of SEN
ator Nelson that the sugar interests
furnish the funds and organize the in
surrections in Cuba. He said that
this is comparatively easy. 1t does
not require much cash to get negroes
enough to begin a campaign of pillage
dllu Ill Ii POI i'll COICu,
he said, seek to avoid paying a duty
of 80 percent ON sugar.
This is almost equal to an sser-
ton that the American Sugar Rein
ing company, which imports all the
sugar produced in Cuba, supplies the
money for and organizes all the in
s%urrections started in that island.
The individuals and corporations
Interested in mining operations In
Mexico, Senator Nelson declared

benefit from sugar production in
Cuba. Those who w valuable min
ing properties desire the annexation O.
such Mexican states as contain these
resources. For that reason, Mr.. Mel.
| son said, they literally supply none!

All these cabals are perfected in thu
United States, and he believes actor
should be taken to prevent operation
of this character.
