COL. EMERY
INTERVIEWED ON
CAMPAIGN ISSUES
FavOrs an Industrial as Well
as an Agricultural
Vermont

Col. C. S. Emery of Newport has
been in St. Johnsbury the past two
days and assured representative of
the Caledonian-Record that he was
much pleased with the progress Of
the campaign and the support he was
receiving throughout the state.
"Most of the press are treating me
fairly" said Col. Emery, after he had
read number Of editorials in the
daily and weekly press, "but it is not
true as one of the daily papers has
declared that | am opposed to in
dustnes IN Vermont. | was the
FIRST TO issue a platform and | stated
In the tnlrd plank OF that platform
that 1 stood 1or the development OF
the industrial possibilities and nat
ural resources OF Vermont, which are
large and promising.

rectors OF the Newport Chamber OF

would encourage and develop ag-
riculture in Vermont. We are facing
world famine in agricultural pro-
duction and it is patriotic duty for
every man to lend his hand to the
agricultural possibilities of the state
and nation. 1 have never said any
thing antagonistic to industrial de-
velopment, but have repeatedly de-
clared that there is something in
farms as well as in factories.
Some accuse me of handing my
opponents roughly and indulging in
personalities. l have not done either,
but only attacked their platforms
and the methods of their campaign.
1t is true that Mr.. Babbitt has an
nounced that he has expended $2,100
in this campaign, but it is very no
ticeable that he does not state what

RAIN CONTINUES
TO DRENCH BOYS
AT CAMP DEYENS
Our Vermont Militiamen
Make Best of Rough
Weather In Camp
(By Richard D. Howe)

CAMP DEVENS, AVER, Mass,
Aug. 13-For the fourth successive
time this week rain visited this can
tonment in which the First Vermont
Regiment is quartered during the
course of its annual maneuvers and
for the first time in as many days
old Jupiter Pluvius succeeded in his
ambition to hinder the movements OF
the seven companies of infantry from
the Green Mountain state. After the
rain had continued for more than
half an hour, Captain Reginald Buz-
zell, commanding officer of Company
l., announced that the men would re-
turn to their barrasks and receive in
struction indoors on the various
skirmish movements. The change was
not only welcome but very beneficial
to the soldiers.
The afternoon schedule called for
drill between the hours of / and 2.30
o'clock, following which the men en-
joyed an hours rest preparatory to
going back onto the field for inspec-
ton of their packs by the command
ing officer. Every man was ordered
to 90 to the drill field, carrying
everything, including extra clothing,
toilet articles, tent poles. blankets,
"slickers" and other things. The
officers appeared well pleased with
the looks of the packs, which were
inspected. However, heavy shower
interrupted the work and it had to be
postponed.
Great stress has been laid by the
officers on the skirmish drill, which
seems to be the most important of
all the maneuvers on the, national
guard program and as result the
boys have drilled along this line for
two days now. Despite the fact that
it is one of the most difficult of the
drills it apparently is the most popu-
lar amongst the men.
Snce the arrival of Earle w. Davis
in camp, the soldiers have been treat
ed to some very appetizing pastry,
pies and puddings being included in
the program at practically everv din
ner and supper. The boys are
really ENJOYING the food handed out
to them and they have reason for lik-
ing it. OF course it isn't like eating

ARRANGING
FOR A JOINT
DEBATE IN ST. J,
Republican Town Com. Has
Invited Seven Candidates
to Speak

Acting on behalf of the republican
town committee, w. A. Kicker has
sent invitations to the four republi-
can candidates for governor and the
three candidates for Congress for a
joint debate in st. Johnsbury some
time before the primaries. Two halls
will be secured and while the three
candidats for Congress are speaking
in one hall, the four candidates for
Governor will speak in the other.
The speakers will later exchange
halls 50 that all who attend can hear
all the speakers. Each candidate
will be allowed 20 minutes to state
his views with five minutes for re-
buttal.
If all the candidates accept this
will be the first time all have ap-
peared on the platform the same
night in the same place and it will be
an event that will attract large and
interested audience.
Nh. Kicker has invited the four
candidates in the race for governor,
F. w. Agan of Ludlow, Fred H.
Babbitt of Bellows Falls, C. S. EN-
cry of Newport and James Hartness
of Springfield. Those invited to mar
ticipate in the Congressional debate
are Congressman Porter H. Dale,
John w. Gordon of Barre and Capt
+. w, Gibson of BrattleborO.

Brattleboro, VT, AUG. 8, 1920.

Others may differ with Capt. Glib
son as to whether or not he is a poll
tician and certainly as specimen OF
a sidestepping letter the above is
gem. The voters of st. Johnsbury
would be interested in Joint de-
bate between Congressman Dale and
the gentleman from Brattleboro. In
the original interview in this paper
with Col. Dale he made no reference
to any political candidate. but Capt.
Gibson Immediately jumped to the
conclusion that he was the only
"wet" candidate in the state when the
voters we'll know there are others. It
would be absurd for Col. Dale to
meet Capt. Gibson in debate until the
Congressman has learned just how
Capt. Gibson stands on this issue.
Capt. Gibson. however, refuses to
State his position. Ed.
