BY Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them

The Republican party of Vermont, because Of
fractional fights and not con account of the scourge
of disease which has swept the State" called
no Convention and formulated no platform of prin-
c1pleS.
""The Republican candidates for State office,
however, have made declaration of principles"
and these are being presented to the people through
large display advertisements in the press of the
State by the Republican State Committee. These
principles are all fine, but they are just what the
Republican party has failed to put into practice dur
ing more than SO years of unlimited and uninter-
Tupted power in Vermont.
The confession recently made by the Governor,
takes care Of the first principle, and indicates "A
sound business administration for Vermont" by Re-
pubicans has not been the fruitage of their unlimit
ed power for many years.
The End, 3rd 18th and 9TH principles, formulated
by these Republican candidates for State Office all
relate to national affairs, and all fair minded men
will admit these may safely be left to President Will
son and Congress.
The 9Th principle set forth by these Republican
candidates for offce-"Brief business session of
legislature" is something unknown in the Republi-
can traditions of Vermont.
The 9TH principle is one in which all good Yer
monters, regardless OF party utilization, fully con-
The 9Th principle would indicate that Mason
Stone had been "born again. for more than all 9TH
er men in Vermont combined he was responsible for
the closing of the little "red school house" in the
rural districts of Vermont Will the farmers, by
their ballots, subscribe for stock in this "neW
BIRTH"
The 9th principle is another bid for the farmers
vote. What guarantee has the farmer that this Re-
publican party Of Vermont, which has been in I'M
limited and uninterrupted power in this State for
more than so years. and during all this time has
failed to furnish "better back roads" will do so in
the next two years?
The 10th principle is taken from the Democratic
platform.
