POLITICAL ADVERTISING.


Frank w. Agan of Ludlow became candidate
for governor at the suggestion of members OF this
club. We felt that the time ripe for an organ
lied protest against the attempt Of organized mi
noriies to control our government. We believed
that the protest of 1876 Vermont towns ought to be
needed. We considered him well qualified to repre-
sent us and the people Of Vermont as chief execu-
tive of the state.
No person, special interest political organization
trolls Frank W. Again. His fe character public conduct
and private enterprise are abundant proof of his ability
and fitness If he is chosen to the people OF Vermont
their governor he will give them the careful able
and conscientious service that he has always given his
community and associates
His opponents claim that the rum issue is settled for
all time. We claim that nothing is settled until 1t is
settled right The recent decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States instead of settling the question:
has made the enforcement of the 18th amendment an issue
in every state every congressional district every county
and every town in this and every other state.
The bonedry Vostead act and the bonedry amendment
go together but the Supreme Court says that Congress
must declare what Intoxicating liquor really is Con-
gress says that onehaf of per cent alcohol con-
tent Intoxicating but everybody knows differently Con-
will be elected this fall on onehalf OF one per
cent platforms one per cent two per cent per
and perhaps 10 per cent platforms
This is just certain the fact that the people of
Vermont-not the politicians the AntiSaloon League
are thoroughly Disguised with the Vosead act and the
amendment that the Vostead act passed to enforce
If Congress should pass law declaring three per cent
liquor Notwithstanding, Vermont must pass law con-
curing Herewith but Vermont could only
way-three per cent less If Vermont should pass
threeone-onehaf per cent law it wouldn't hold but II
Vermont should pass twoand-a-haf one-and a-half
or one-half-of-one per cent law it would hold Kind of
one-sded law, isn't it?
Don't you suppose that there will be per cent, two
per cent per cent and perhaps 10 per cent candidates
in your town. your county and your district this fall We
say and this thing is back in politics than
ii before.
Isn't it in politics this minute? Haven't two prohi-
bition candidates for governor sradde candidate and
one local option candidate? Haven't prohibition
didate for Congress this district two VOlsteadac
candidates and one modification candidate?
Don't YOU suppose there will be one two three five and
perhaps per cent candidates for the Legislature In your
town and others? We say there will be.
If you're satisfied with this sort of thing, don't
vote for Agan. Vote for one of his opponents. But
if you believe that 155 violated their oaths
of office when they voted away our constitutional
rights, our personal liberty and our right to be
heard on this and every other issue, vote for Frank
w. Agan.
He will voice your protest and make you good
governor
