that 1t appealed with twofold force to
the people of the commonwealth. Added
to this was a feeling of tremendous
pride on the part of our people
in this act of nationwide service by a
son Of Vermont.
Under these circumstances It Is not
strange that, closely following the nomi-
nation by the Massachusetts Republican
club of Governor Coolidge for the presi-
dency. should come tho formation of a
Coolidge club in Vermont, his native
State.
At n meeting in woodstock Of the
Windsor County republican committee a
Vermont boon for Coolidge was started
with the expectation Coolidge clubs will
be started in all parts Of the State. AT
the meeting held in the Woodstock court

of liberty and keep government free; and
Whereas, The maintenance OF Law

whereas. Calvin Coolidge, = native OF

OUR AMERICAN INDIANS

Indians within its borders, owing to the
maintenance of reservations at St. Regis
