| is really an old institution even in Yer
mont and that while it is not the bogey
| that some declare, it is neither cure
all for all diseases in the body polite
Mr.. Gordon was frequently interrupted
with applause and was given rousing
expression of appreciation at the conclu-
sion.
States Attorney j. Ward Carver pre-
sided over the meeting and introduced
the speakers, and the Barre Citizens
band made its initial appearance of the
year by rendering several selections,
adding greatly to the enjoyment of the
evening. Among those from outside the
city to speak in behalf OF Mr. Gordon
was Fred L. Laird Of Montpelier, who
assured Mr.. Gordon that Montpelier and
Washington county are intgrested in Mr.
Gordon's candidacy and tnat the inter
ests of Washington county are sufficient
ly important in the second congressional
district to command attention. Mr.
Laird spoke of Mr.. Gordons leadership
in the fight for the primary law, for the
income tax, for legislation to better the
conditions OF the workingmen and Of his
stand on the tariff question to further
the development of the state.
MFR. Laird said the Republican party
had become divided over minor issues
and that it was time for the members of
the party to call halt and get their
bearings; to pick out the unimportant
from the important matters and then TO
get together on the really important
things.

est in Mr.. Gordon's candidacy came in

will prevent my taking part in the meet
ing on Tuesday to endorse for Congress
your able, worthy and distinguished citi-
zen, John w. Gordon. / sincerely hope
that Mr.. Gordon will be nominated, be-
cause he is eminently fit in every way.
Sincerely,

Senator Harry Daniels of East Mont.
pelier also gave warm endorsement of
Mr.. Gordon's qualifications for the duties
of representative in Congress, declaring
that his association with Mr.. Gordon in
private life as well as in the capacity
of state senator had convinced him that
in Nr. Gordon there is most excellent
timber for the position which he now
seeks Another person called on by
Chairman Carver was Lieutenant Gov
ernor Frank Z. Howe of Bennington
Mr.. Howe said he thought it not proper
for resident of the first district to
come over into the second district and
help to pick out the congressman. so he
confined his remarks to more general
nature.

to assist in Mr.. Gordon's campaign To-
cslly and the meeting elected the com
mittee as follows: Fred d. Ladd, Silvio
