FIRST WAR NEWS.
Daily Paper Six Months for 81.

- The Monitor can get you a daily
paper giving all the latest, best and
most authentic war news, six months
for 81. Having made special arrange
ments with the Boston Record we are
authorized to take subscriptions at
81. This is the greatest bargain in
daily paper ever offered. The Record
is good paper and being an evening
paper reaches you on the rural route
the morning after it is printed. And
the evening paper is noticeable in it's
early war news. An evening paper is
far ahead of morning paper on the
news of the great European war be-
cause o'clock in Boston is 10 O'Clock
at night in London and nearly mid
night in the heart of the war district.
Wherefore, the news of daylight-the
most important of all-comes in the
afternoon press and is repeated in the
morning papers. So the lead of the
evening paper is very marked in this
war-probably the greatest the world
has ever seen. You ought to keep
posted.
Take advantage of this offer while it
lasts. Clip this adv, fill in below, pin
a dollar bill to it and mail. Do it
NOW. Well do the rest, and you'll
get a daily with all the war news
every morning for six months.

How extensive is your knowledge of
the real conditions and countries now
engaged in the greatest war the world

bled mass with no very clear and
definite idea.
The Monitor this week will com.
mence the distribution of a very
complete and concise WAR MAP. one
that shows plainly and accurately the
entire war zone, that also shows half
tone cuts of the rulers of the different
nations now involved or likely to be-
come involved in this stupendous war
This map goes still further and gives a
very brief and historical sketch of each
nation, a synopsis of the international
peace conference. and the Hague
Tribunal.
Concise details of the armament. the
number and strength of land and naval
forces, the wealth of the different
nations and the decisive battles of
century of European warfare, with a
table of the worth of the foreign
money reckoned in dollars and cents.
and table of distances.
We are offering this splendid man
to subcribers of the Monitor postpaid
at Is cents each. Through the use of
this compact little map, you can follow

We all must journey on
Until we meet HIM al tie gaze
And we, toe, pass bey, nd.

HAMBLET MAKES STATEMENT.

TO the Voters of the Town of Barton:
In well-attended caucus / was
nominated as the Republican candidate
for town representative. I appreciate
that honor. The goal, if attained. is a
greater honor and as candidate seek
ing that goal l believe that the people
ought to know where I stand on some
of the questions of the day. l there
fore solicit your support on my past
record as a citizen and taxpayer in
your town, and my declaration on
topics below.
L. 1 believe in the publicity of
campaign expenses and while work
ing for such a law will see that my
own expenses in this campaign are
made public.
2. l believe in the primary; and
while working for such a law insisted
that such method be used in selecting
candidate for town representative in
my party.
8. l believe in better tax law,
law that will reach all taxable prop
erty a person actually owns, instead
of imposing tax on all property a
person may have in his or her name,
for which they may be owing. be-
lieve in taxing the OWNER; and while
working for such law believe my
several years of experience as lister in
this town have given me valuable and
practical lessons.
4. / believe state expenses are too
high, and pledge my support to justi-
fable reduction.
5. believe in some changes in our
public school system and in advocating
changes believe my years of expert
ence as a school trustee have given me
much valuable frst-hand information.
6. I believe in the continuation of
our present road policy in Vermont.
z. believe in fewer laws and a
more general enforcement of those we
have.
While a Republican | can discern
much that is worthy in other parties
and thoroughly believe that Republi-
canism must advance as everything
else advances.
Assuring you of my appreciation of
the support of every voter in town,
| whether I am able to see you person
ally or not, I am,
Sincerely,
c. E. Hamblet

Hamblet Nominated by Republicans.

More than 100 persons attended the
Republican caucus held in Seaver's
hall Thursday evening. The chief
matter of interest was the nomination
of a Republican candidate for town
representative. A primary ballot con-
tanning the names of c. A. Barrows
and c. E. Hamblet were used and 89
votes were cast. Of this number Mr..
Hamblet received 81, c. A. Barrows
"a and Geo. F. Reed /. Geo. B. Rowell,
Jerre Marston and W. w. Reirden
were. chosen delegates to the state
convention to be held in Montpelier
Baldwin, E. w. Barron and M. M. Taplin
trict convention to be held at White
River Junction Tuesday. w. w. Reir-
den1 presided and Wallace H. Gilpin
acted as clerk to the caucus.
Mr.. Hamblet has been man who
has always taken an active part in all
movements for the benefit of the
village and town. He has served as
lister forImany years, has acted as
village trustee, school trustee and held
other responsible positions, always to

purpose of doing the right and best
thing for the community. Mr.. Hamb-
let's long service as lister puts him in

views on this subject which are recog-
nized throughout the county as authori-
tative. and his advice has been sought

sentative who would go to Montpelier

nized in matters of tax legislation.
