The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1918-09-07
Last Call for MIR. Root

|, IS possible that the Banner tonight has some state
from Mr. Root As we write this Saturday morn
ingl We have 10 of knowing. If he makes state
men we shall comment it in Mondays issue. Ii it is
al admission and confession shall honor him Tor it.
and shall frankly say So it IS not satisfactory we shall
say that it IS not.
But we cannot understand how Mr. Root think to
get away with the nomination by not making reply to the
questions of this committee and the open letter of Mr.
Payne Mr.. Root has been making his campaign IN the
whispering buion-koing-o fashion. Even
thus reports him giving impression as to
wha he stands for and another another That's the
old politics and not good The public likes instead
the out and OUT candid statement-I stand here and
want you all to know IL II you like my platform and
principles vote for me- The time has gone by when
have right to be chosen for office on the OF favor
and friendship merely.
What's your claim, Mr.. Root, the public? Why
should you so Montpelier? MIR Payne says for personal
reasons he would prefer not to 60 He doesn't like to
leave his business But he persuaded against his in
cnaton to make the sacrifice when the matter was put
to him as duty Now he wants his partys nomination
for the Senate that his own convictions and those Of the
majority OF his eloWcitlzeAs IN the County and OF the
great majority the State be registered in legislation
It's no lark for Mr. Payne to go to Montpelier no way
for him to kill time no bit Of social hobnobbng in other
wise heary winter There ar9measures to be passedwar
measures mainly and few others in the interests of
the State and possibly of his county and town He will
attend to them business man should with M stand
ing and dispatch And he VIII further aoa to
it when Ratification up, viii
and must, that by his vote at least Yer
mont is the side of National Prohibition That's not
the old State Prohibition winch many THINK has been dis
credited but Prohibition everywhere in the D. S. because
the Government says not by act of Congress merely but by
organic law of the Constitution that there be
manufacture and SALE Of alcoholic liquors beverage.
Isn't that a tremendous issue for Senator to vote
upon? Ought not the people to know how their candidate
stands Is it fair and really honest for candidate to ask
the sufirages Of his feIlow-ctizens and puposeyfor
the sake OF gaining some votes out of sheer obstnacy
keep them in the dark as to his convictions Cf he has
any?
There's the man-Arthur S Payne. We know his
principles We know his platform lie is asking in open,
fashion o the support of Republican voters naccord
herewith
Once more, Where are you, Mr.. Root? What do you
believe in? What dc you stand for? Why do you want
anybody to vote for you?

his release from a cOurt-martial sent
ence for Private John De Roberts, OF
the 9th Battalion, i53d Depot Brigade,
when the records, including a testi-
monial and medal from the King Of
Italy. were brought TO the attention OF
Major General Scott, camp commander
and reviewing authority Of the court.
Private De Roberts, an italian, living in
HobOken, was called into the service Of
the American Army in a recent draft.
As the result OF a clash with his SER

order. De Roberts was arrested. The
court-martial found him guilty on a
minor charge and imposed a fine de-
dueting a portion Of his pay for three
months. but even this was suspended
when General Scott, in reviewing the
case, learned Of the prisoners fine rec
ord in the Italian army. The royal
certificate, which De Roberts produced
described his bayonet fight with a full
score Of the enemy as one OF the most
brilliant personal achievements Of the
1'ripoli campaign.
Fighting the germs has been put on
a level of importance with lighting the
Germans through the appointment OF
Major B. Frank Krause as camp cpl

WHEAT SUBSTITUTE TABLE

In war time all the old reverenced
customs are cast overheard and new
strange practices instituted in their
places. Time was when \ woman
would consider her housewifery i'm
peached II she used anything but the
best and finest wheat flour. But that
tradition. with thousands of others,
has been shattered. and now real
thrift and loyalty to country makes
substitutes serve where only wheat
WAS once known.
Out of some practice. skilled cooks
have compiled the following table for
women whose own experiment has not
told them what the proper proportion
OF substitute flours makes the best
mixture:
