Campaign In Vermont.

VIII Conduct q Clean Educational
Campaign In Vermont.
The Republican State Committee
has opened headquarters in the Bur-
lington Block on St. Paul street, and /
will from now on conduct a vigor-
GUS campaign for the republican |
state ticket.
Chairman frank c. Williams of |
the republican state committee, will |
have charge of the campaign. He
will be aided by the members of the |
executive committee of the state COM
mittee, most of whom will be pres
ent at headquarters from now until
the first Tuesday in September. To
Col. John G. Norton of St. Adams
has been assigned the position of
Sergeant-at-Arms and all visitors to
headquarters will find a hearty well
come.
Chairman Williams said this NOR
ming that the plan of the campaign
to be conducted would be along ed
vocational lines. THE past record of
the republican party in Vermont,
said Mr.. Williams, sfs nothing the
voters of the state need feel asham-
ed of, but even with so good a record
to fall back upon, we are determined
| to go ahead and advance the inter-
est of the state in this campaign.
We feel that we have ticket that
is not only progressive, but made
up of men who are thoroughly loyal
to the state and its interests. We
| also feel that we have platform up
on which any citizen can contentedly
and consistently stand. We certainly
have no reason for feeling indiffer-
ent to either the candidates upon the
| ticket or the platform. We do NOT
believe that we can be accused by
our opponents with having adop-
ted planks in our platform that do
not mean the advancement of the
state and it's people. While we will
carry on this campaign vigorously,
we shall not resort to attacks upon
the candidates of other parties, but
we shall feel at liberty to call at
tention to their past records, and to
the platforms upon which they are
now running for office. This will be
done without the semblance of muck
raking or mud throwing, but it will
be consistently and energetically
done. When the first Tuesday of
September arrives, we predict that
all the people of the state will have
known that campaign of benefit
and education has been carried on.
| OSC VI OIdL0, Ouy w. Daley, mas
been selected by the committee to
have charge of the publicity depart
ment in the work of the campaign
He will be present at headquarters
daily from now until election day
Mr.. Bailey's experience in the pub
licity department of his Office as Sec
rotary, especially fits him for the
campaign work before him.
ct is my thorough belief said
Mr.. Bailey, that publicity is the
greatest element that goes toward
making successful campaign. II
is my intention to appeal to the vot.
? ers through the press and to reach
them all, in other forms of litera.
ture, before election day I shall
make my appeals based on real facts
and not on manufactured ones. Sc
far as my department is concerned
it will be conducted so that when the
campaign is ended, there will bC
f no ground upon which just criticism
can be made. It will be a fair cam
, paign and l shall hope to make my
efforts in every way consistent with
good and pure politics. Mr.. BAILEY
was asked what he believed would be
the result in the September election
and he smilingly said, Victory il
ours today, but a greater victory il
promised us on Tuesday, September
3rd.''
