IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
In advertising sent from this Office which
appeared in the state press last week, the subject
being, Senator Page Makes Speech" the fol-
lowing paragraph appeared;
"The Vermonter in Washington who heard
Senator Pages speech writes further the sit
uation. He says that the Hoke Smith voca
tional educational bill is on the calendar
but that it will not be acted this Session.
This information, received by The Allen M.
FletchersSenatoria Club presented the condition
as it then existed in Washington The following
news item appeared in the St. Adams Messenger
on Friday, August 4.
s'Washington. Aug. 1.-The vocational ed
ucational bill which passed the senate the other
day without debate notice of any kind, is
to be pressed upon the House in eleventh
hour attempt to secure enactment before the ad-
journment of Congress.
1t had been thought that the Senate calendar
crowded to allow room for this bill at
this time, and the plan had been to postpone the
enactment of this legislation till the December
session, Favorable reports on the bill were
made weeks ago by both committees which
handled it,
Is it not true Senator Page, that the Smith
Vocational Educational Bill would have passed
the Senate if you had not spoken or voted for it?
Is it not true Senator Page, that for purely
political purposes you at this time urged your
self upon the Senate to make speech upon bill
which had been favoraby reported and which as
the st. Adams Messenger news item says: passed
the senate the other day without notice of any kind
We have no disposition to minimize the inn
portance of any bill which provides better educa-
tiona facilities for the youth of the land, but we
respectfully suggest that Senator Pages record is
the issue and in the words of the Vergennes En-
terprise "Senator Pages Vocational Educational
bill was fzzle and was lost in the shuttle"
What is there about Senator Page so sacro-
SAINT as to forbd.legitimate and truthful criticism
of any of his public or official acts.
Will Mr.. Page Answer?
