Candid Candidates

Sometimes candidate for political office says, "I
not say beforehand how will vote any question You
must leave it to my judgment when the time comes"
He thinks that being very independent and he puffs
out with political virtue. But hold minute.
Supposing there is some great overshadowing issue,
and the people taking sides that ISSUE and very
much wrought up it. What will they think about
man who won't tell them what is in mis- mind?
They may think several things. One is that he has
MT anything in his mind And therefore he isn't compe
tent to be good candidate
Another thing they may think u.s. that he is after
the votes let principle go hang, and magnes he will get
by pussyfoong But the people respect outspoken
and courage and want to give their votes to another
kind of candidate.
The day for carrying water on both shoulders even
in politics has gone by In these days and the days
that coming after them who ask the suffrage of
their fellow citizens must declare themselves side
or another Of every great question
The biggest question: question of principle, not of
policy of conscience and not of party poticso be-

 As always can be said of this an nual agricultural exhibition, the fair
 tis year was good. Secretary L. H. tlealey said that crops all through the territory from which the fair draws Its exhibits are far ahead of what they were last year. when kill ing frost came on Sept. B, and this was reflected in the entries from field crops, fruits and numerous other lines of agricultural endeavor.
 The fair, as usual, was q model of clean regulation and there was noth- ing on the grounds to remind one of tne cleanup lizards so frequently en- countered at many places :n New En- gland where fairs are held.
 As elsewhere, the world war left it's stamp on this years exhibition at Woodstock. Pumpkins with the iu- scriptiOn "Pomfret War Garden, " grown into them were to be seen as also were wheatless entries in the pas try department, long lists of entries of preserved goods arranged by young people who are members of Home Garden clubs and. Tn the needleworli department, lines of endeavor show ing what women have been doing to ward making the soldiers comfortable on the fighting fronts,
 Red Cross workers were in evidence everywhere about the ground and few indeed were those who denied the soH- citorx a coOtrShi1tjon Tnto The folds ot Old Glory. held expanded by pretty Red Cross workers, many quarters dimes and nickels were dropped. The crowd at the fair was not af large as usual this year, but the postponement is held responsible fol this. There were many at the fair however, and representative of about all sections of eastern Windhan county and parts Of Massa achusetts, the border of which is but few miles from the grounds.
