In alphabet order, Mr. Agan's opponents stand
as follows:
Mr.. Rabbit stands for local option in wet towns
and for prohibition in dry towns. He has wet
workers working for him in Burlington and dry
workers working for him in Bellows Falls. He is

can have it.
HIS PROPOSITION TO THE VOTER
It's fair and square choice-up to you, Mr.
VOter-no pressure no promises no peanut pontlcs
no prejudice of passion just plain old-fashioned
horse sense between men who don't need polltlca

If you can trust man who changes politics ev-
ery little while vote for Mr.. Babbitt
If you're satisfied with present conditions, II
YOU believe Vermont ought to be governed by Okla
homa or Alabama, vote for Mr.. Emery.
If you think Vermont needs an industrial genius
for governor; if you believe in depopulatmg our
rural districts vote for Mr.. Hardness.
If you believe that some one has voted away
your rights if you want better roads and schools; II
YOU want less people on the state payroll; if you
want to serve notice on organized minorities, vote
