GAME is A THRILLER

The Chicago Nationals put the
worlds series on $3.50 basis yester-
day at Chicago by defeating the Bos-
ton Americans, to l, in good old
fashioned game of baseball. Tyler,
pitching for Chicago, was he hero Of
the contest holding the eastern bat
ters safe and in addition knocking
single over second that scored two
runs. All Of Chicago's runs were
made in the second Boston's run
came in a desperate and spectacular
rally in the ninth. Strunk, the first
man UP for the visitors, slammed the
ball against the right field fence.
Whitman, who drove in Thursday's
winning tally for Boston, was cheered
as he came up. His wallop was the
mightiest Of the series so far, the ball
smashing into the word buy in the
war savings sign in center. Strunk
trotted home, and the Chicagoans who
had counted the game won halted on
their way to exits. Tyler, however
steadied and threw out McInnis at
first. Scott was allowed to walk and
the gigantic Dubus came to bat for
Thomas. He fouled off half dozen
good ones, but in the end struck out
on a wide one. Schang, who was sub
stituted for Agnew, popped to Hol-
locher and the game was over

Fellow Citizens of Bennington County

Fellow Citizens of Bennington County,
So far in this campaign have not spent an
hour Of time or dollar of money in Bennington
County in urging my candidacy for the governor
ship, except for the writing OF few letters in
securing primary petitions Most of you know
the special efforts and expenditure of money in
Bennington County by my opponents. 1t was
then privilege.
! have believed, and still believe that the
voters of Bennington and Bennington County Will
he fair to the candidate from this County, and
that they will not be misled by ceverly concocted
misstatements intended to deceive. 1t is every
mans right and duty to vote according to his best
judgement, influenced only by truth and patriot
ism.
have been a citizen of Bennington County
for sixteen years. Fifteen years ago established
the Evening Banner and have been its editor and
publisher ever since. The people OF Bennington
County know whether or not | am dangerous
character. The members of local County and
State organizations, churches societies, patriotic
committees, advertisers, subscribers and others
who have done business with the Banner during
the past sixteen years know whether they have
been treated fairly by me A political canvass
does not change mans character.
1t would be distinct advantage to Ben
ningtcp County to have governor from the
County. The Counties far from Montpelier do
not as a rule get their full share of appropra-
tiong and other benefits of state government
This is not due to any intent on the part of State
officials hut to the fact that it is difficult for
the Counties and towns far removed from the
capital to make their wants known and bring
arguments influence and pressure to bear.
The present governor mas not been IN Ben
ningtcn since he took the office. His predecessor
was here only once, if | remember correctly, and
then but briefly. Other state officials and
heads of departments almost never come to Ben
nngton or to the other Counties and towns in the
outl, rt sec tons of the State. It would be well,
il seems to me- to eject governor who is fan-
liar with all sections of the State.
! respectfully request the voters of Ben
nington County to support me at the polls next
Tuesday If | am elected will do all in my
power for the honor, prosperity and progress Of
Vermont and shall take particular pride in seek
ing TO assist in the development and welfare of

didates should win | shall cheerfully abide the
result.

soon saw that the theory that they
were working on was plausible anC
met the approval of common sense
that the question of nerve energy con.
trolling the human body, and this
energy being interfered with as the
nerve emits from the spine, this in
turn would weaken the parts supplied
by these nerves making the human
body more susceptible to disease in
other words, nerve pressure was the
cause of disease.
All this opened up a new field OF
thought to me, which had never been
presented through the study of medi-
cine.
My wife was examined at School
of Chiropractic. / noted carefully
that the only examination that was
made was of the spine, which was
done by the sense of touch and by the
use of the X-ray, which revealed a
lateral curvature plus several sub
luxated vertebr@. They, at once pro-
ceeded to correct these solicitations,
and her improvement started at once
and today she is in good state of
health.
Seeing the possibilities of this
new science in the treatment of suf-
fering humanity, I laid aside all
prejudice and started into the work
in hard earnest and now, after three
years of experience and clinical OBJ
servation, l come to the medical pro-
fession and advise that they no longer
fight Chiropractic, but investigate its
merits, and then you will not wonder
why it is that so many of your patients
who have failed to get relief from
medicine have strolled off to the
Chiropractor and have gotten the
thing that they most desired, and that
is health.
The sooner the medical profession
recognizes the work of a Chiroprac-
tor, the better. He is doing a work
that medicine can not do; he belongs
exclusively to the class of specialists
and should be so recognized.
When l was at school, l was sur
prised at the training these men were
getting, and any one who takes them
for bunch of ignoramuses may have
occasion to change his mind.
The object and aim of this paper
is to bring to the attention of the
medical profession (the profession to
which l have been a part of and con-
tributed to for fifteen years., that
there is an avenue of relief for many
of the so-called chronics. Refer these
patients to a skilled and competent
Chiropractor, who will give them
courteous and ethical treatment. Do
not have them leave you in search
of something you can not give.
We are rapidly being ushered into
a new era. Let us forget the past
and accept new truths as we find
hem and do what we can for suffering
humanity.
