LABOR MEN FOR DE BoER..
And They Make 1t Known to the Labor.
ing Men of Vermont.

To the Laboring Men of Vermont:
We, the undersigned laboring men Of
Montpelier, representing practically ev-
Iery occupation in the city, having known
the Hon. Joseph A. Dei3oer as man, as
citizen, and as a legislator, believe that
in advising all laboring men to promot,
his candidacy for governor of Vermont
we are not only advancing our own inter-
ests, but the interests OF all the people
! of the state, and more especially the
common or laboring people,
We have known Mr.. DelSOer for a
great many years and having closely fol-
lowed his career as a legislator feel as
sured that the interests of the laboring
people of the state will be better cared
for with Mr.. DeBoer as governor than
they could possibly be BY any other
candidate, because Mr. DeBoer never has
acted on any question affecting the rights
of all the people without giving it his
deepest consideration and arriving at an
honest Judgment with regard to the
rights Of all the people.
Believing sincerely the above to be
true, and that ID is forathe best interests
of all the lsboring people Of Vermont
TO vote for the man who will best serve
their interests and the interests Of alf
on all occasions, we earnestly urge all
laboring men TO vote for delegates favor
able to the nomination of Mr.. DeBoer
next Tuesday and to see that their dele
gates are instructed to vote for him.

Wood from the office OF chief of staff
next March, I.
In his message, President Taft said :
"The army is too vital an institution to
the people OF this country to be made
the victim of hasty or imperfect theories
of legislation. The war college and the
general staff have been engaged for many
months upon a comprehensive plan Of
army reorganization. AT the present
time, therefore, it is especially inappro-
pirate in my opinion TO force upon the
statute books legislation which is en-.
acted without the usual deliberation and
care"
