Elect Mayo


In the Republican advertising put
out in the Montpelier Argus" OF oct.
80. under the heading Vermont Re
publicans Must Wake Up" read Of
the harmony meeting between Glenn
ent and the Republican candidate and
state committee Evidently, Clement
gave them some knockout drops, for
he put them to sleep. In their sleep
they went back to the days when Yer
mont voted in September and in the
advertising they urge Republicans to
give Clement a large vote for its eff
feet on other states With all states
voting next Tuesday, the effect of Yer
monts vote for governor on the other
states is about as much as fly speck
on the wallpaper ofiyour room.
Clement must haze given the Re
publican managers j horrible night
mare, for in their advertising they
say, "Vermont's Representation in ma
tional party affairs is exactly condi-
toned on Vermonts vote for cover
nor in the November election Moth
ing else counts. Don't fail to vote.
This is not camoufage Ii is describ-
ed by a shorter and uglier word n
national Republican convention, each
state has twice as many delegates as
IL has men in Congress. Vermont al
ways has eight delegates Each state
has one member of the national com
mittee. Unless there is a secret
chamber in party national affairs OF
which common people know nothing,
Clements defeat will not make one
iota's difference in Vermont's repre-
sentation in national party affairs.
If Clement in one short meeting
can cause the Republican managers to
stultify themselves in their adyertis-
ing, | shudder to think what effect he
would have on them during an admin
istration of two years. He certainly
would have them all eating out of his
hand.
The advertisement referred to
above speaks of the large amount of
money that Vermont must spend in
the next two years The character of
Clements activities in his political
campaign, and the character OF the
editorials in the Rutland Herald,
which he owns and controls. convince
me that he is not a good man to have
charge of the important duties which
a governor Of Vermont must perform.
Would that the Republican manag-
ers might wake up and at least tel
the truth in their advertising?
Oh, Republicans Won't you wake
up to the seriousness Of the present
situation? If you do, you will elect
Mayo next Tuesday, and confer a
blessing on your party by Kidding it
for all time of-this Clement barnacle,
which has at last secured firm grip
