Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1918-06-21

tits vitality necessary that public Of
fees today be held by the best men,
and while it is difficult in many in
stances to determine just who is best
there is a trend of public opinion
that cannot be turned aside for the
selection of only those who have a
record that assures honest and help
full action on all public acts and a
loyal, response whenever and wher-
ever duty calls. 1t is right that
parties should take an active part in
this selection, although today party
lines are lightly drawn for the one
great purpose isssto win the war and
advance the welfare of the people as
a community, state and nation. AL
though Vermont primaries are not
held until September, yet the people
are looking up the record of their
available men from which to make
choice. Every town, in the United
States is a little republic and the ac-
ton of its citizens help in shaping
the government of this nation. The
one important office in these little
republics at the coming election is
town representative and all over
Vermont men are now being thought |
of for this Office. Among the many
good men in Brighton that circum-
stances, conditions, ability and past
record point out as available for town
representative, are Fred E. Boyce of |
the republican party and w. A. Glee- !
son of the democratic party. The
Herald does not know as either of
these men could be prevailed upon
to accept the candidacy, but it does
know that either party should be
proud to place such men before the
voters for town representative. The
Herald is strictly republican in poll
tics but we hope to be broad and
fair minded to the extent that our
recognition of good citizenship is not |
confined to party lines. The columns
of the Heraldare open to the citizens
and we are glad to publish their
views on men and matters, and hel |
the people in selecting representa-
tive that holds their confidence and
will give his best effort to the work
of winning the war and all legisla-
ton for the uplift and betterment
of the people.
When you are making up an esti-
mate of an amount you will set aside
for War Savings Stamps just re-
member you are making no sacrifice
you are giving nothing to the gov
eminent, rather is the government
in asking for this loan teaching you
to save and increase your capital.
For this loan you are receiving the
best financial protection and a good
rate of interest. This loan is neces-
sary to win the war and take care of
the boys lover there" And the
boys lover there, have pledged
their life-their ALTO the govern
ment. They are facing every feat
ure of Hun warfare-bombs, shells,
gases and every minute on the look
out for Hun trickey. They are
meeting this successfully-magnifi-
cently-eager to win the war. Their
lives carry no guarantee of protcc-
ton, and they draw no a IL percent
interest. They represent the flower
of American manhood. Their young
lives are just opening to the full
possession of life, its happiness and
helpfulness. Oh, how proud we are
Of them! AS freely, as Loyalty as
they gave, just 50 freely and Loyalty
we must rally to these calls of the
government. And as they give the
last ounce of blood and effort to up
hold right and establish justice, so
will we loan our last dollar to help
