IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

In advertising sent from this office, which APP
peared in the state press last week, the subject
being, Senator Page Makes Speech" the fol-
lowing paragraph appeared
~
THE Vermonter lin Washington who heard
Senator Pages speech writes further on the sit
uaton He says that the Hoke Smith vocational
educational bill is on the Senate calendar but
that it will not be acted on this session.
. C a. ~>sxs
This information, received by the Allen NJ
Fletcher'Senatorial Club, presented the condition
as it thensexisted in Washington. The following
= news itemsappeared in,the st. Adams Messenger
on Friday,.Aug. A:
Washington Aug 4-The vocational educa
tonal bill, which passed the Senate the other
day without debate notice of any kind is to
be pressed upon the House in an eleventh hour
attempt to enactment before the adj
journment of Congress.
1T had been thought that the Senate calendar
too crowded to allow 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 yourself
upon the Senate to make speech upon bill
which had been favorably 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 impor-
tance of any bill which provides better educa-
tonal 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
Enterprise, Senator Pages vocational educa-
tona bill was fizzle and was lost in the shuttle"
What is there about Senator Page so sacrosanct
as to forbid legitimate and truthful criticism of
any of his public or official acts?
