The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-10-06

gentleman who has twice been elect
ell from that town as representa-
tive and a man who in all respects
stands high in all that section, was
turned down by the Progressive com
mittee. and when Mr.. Brown s name
was withdrawn and DIR. Lynch of
Brattleboro was suggested, another
gentleman who stand9 high in that
section. and his name was turned
down. in substance, because they did
not report upon it so far as | have
any positive knowledge, ! began to
think and still think that some indi-
vidual whose clothing would fit kol-
lin S. ChiIds to CT had been
monkeying with the Progressive band
wagon and that it was understood that
the Progressives should turn down one
after another until there was suggest
| ed name that had the endorsement
| of that individual,
Mr.. Chil6s pays m" TOO great com
| pliment when he gives me credit, in
| substance, of being able, had | desired
| to, TO influence six able gentlemen
who had minds of their own. We did
| make an honest effort to bring about
| a fusion ticket, and Childs knows it.
| and | am certain that every member
| of the committee will agree with me
| in this statement
Mr.. Childs insults every other mem
| Der of the committee in making the
| statements and iuSinuations that he
| does, and his mess of gush in your
| issue of today sounds like the last
wall of a disappointed, disgruntled
| discredited ex who has got to boil
| over in the news columns or burst, and
| because he cannot be and remain for
| ever the "Great | Am, the 4" Dicta-
| tor and the Hucr' "a of the valley
Talk or rather write about his d" Sa
TAME majesty -; 1" kingdom of heav
en- -; the Trump OF Gabriel ano
feel the halter draw. | venture the
assertion that Mr. Cnilds knows only
about the first. and the last, for hi,
srurrilous aud insulting 4atter shows
that he POSSESSES none of the' attrib
utes necessary to get INTO the kingdom
| of heaven, he never heard the trumI
of Gabriel. so can know nothing abou
il, and as TO feeling 1.-The halle
draw / feel sure that he learnc,
| about it nj the last Democratic caucu
at Brattleboro.
/ would say to Mr.. ChiIds that u
in this section of the county, so far u
| have observed, there has been II,
strenuous effort, like his, TO abuse me-
: | for coming into the Democratic party
, but on the contrary men who see fl
to support the party by works am
votes will he accorded decent treat
ment, at least, and not be attacke,
through the press or otherwise by sue

into the columns of your paper Blu

7 | gospel from the lips on this ''Ancien

Now, Mr.. Editor, / most certainl
| beg your pardon for extending this I
] | the length that | have, but most c
Il | the statements in this man Childs
: | communication were so far from TIL
Q | truth and being aimed At me that
: could not refrain from replying to
at some length; his contemplate il
Y suits and insinuations in regard to til
9 honesty of the committee of seven an
a majority of the cony ention called fl

y | wish that you would kindly e,
