for twenty years has followed in the
footsteps of his most distinguished
predecessors.
In his opening talk Senator Dill
lingham referred to the incidents of
speaking across the international
boundary and its being the dividing
line between two great nations de-
Tended without Notifications through
the brotherly love that existed be-
tween these governments. Both
powers recognized God which spread
throughout the land bringing about
the fatherhood of God and the broth
hood of man. Nations built On such
a government stand for peace.
Senator Dillingham; reviewed the
causes that brought about the forma-
alton of this republic in which each
one of US are factors. How the con-
stitution was drawn TO check the mil
itarism and one-man power of Eu-
rope, best defined by the martyred
President Lincoln as ga government
of the people, for the people and by
the people," The House of Repre-
sentatives represents the people, the
Senate the states. The president is
the executive head of the United
States; the constitution gave Congress
the power to check the executive from
becoming a one-man power. Senator

lated the constitution, ignored the
Senate and kept matters of interna-
tional Importance from Congress.
He spoke of the waste of war work
incapacity of departments and how
the government ceased to function.
President Wilson was a peculiar man
and his party followed him blindly.
"The Republican party" said Sena-
tor Dillingham;, "stood firmly behind
the administration and did more to
! help in winning the war than the
Democrats" President Wilson had
revolutionized every thing done by
other presidents. For eight months
after war was declared he was ST.
lent sending no message TO Congress
Senator Dillingham; In closing paid
eloquent tribute to Senator Harding.
For six years he had known him and
worked with him in the senate. "He
Is a big, broad minded man, careful
and considerable in viewing all mat
ters, and on reaching a conclusion is
as firm and answering as the ever
lasting hills of our mountains.
Candid, honest and convincing, free
from vindictiveness. All elements of
the party came to his aid"
''For eight long years the doors of
the White House have been closed
the people can enter into it. Sena-
tor Harding will consult with all the
elements of the party in the inter
ests of the people"
Col. Emery spoke of the prestige
formerly coming to Vermont by its
September election and regretted it
had been changed. Instead of YER
mont setting an example and giving
enthusiasm TO the campaign by roll
ing up bg vote, now we had to fol-
low other states, and "people now say
what's the use.v The stability of gov
eminent. the great strength of the
nation We're at stake and we should
vote as though the election of Hard
ing depended upon it.
In introducing Congressman Dale
Col. Emery referred to the great
pleasure il, was to have with US one
whose ancestors were among the
first settlers of Orleans county and
the town of Derby.
Congressman Dale said, in reference
to his ancestors, that he never came
over this road without thought of the
great-grandfather who came to this
primeval forest after taking part
in the Revolutionary war and took up
land by Derby Pond to make his
home.
Congressman Dale spoke of the
rally falling on Columbus Day, COM
pairing the achievements of Columbus
and the Republican party as great
events in the history of the Repub-
lie. The faith shown in the great
work before them, the obstacles over
come, and the help that came to them
in time of need. Columbus set out
on unknown seas against the narrow
minded philosophers of his day, and
without support of King Ferdinand,
to find new world, but Isabella came
to his aid. The Republican party
met the critical periods in national
life with Lincoln and a Mckinley,
and today, in the most critical time in
our nations history it had an Isa-
bella.
Congressman Dale spoke of the
lie through the foreign element of
anarchy, revolution and destruction
of the republic. Facts brought out
at the recent examination of these
Reds" show how deep is the hatred
of this element to good government
and devoid of all -fealty to law and
order and how lightly they hold
human life. Their answers were
they did not believe in good govern
ment; did not believe the United
States gives freedom and equality
to mankind; did not believe in God
Congressman Dale said he had
known Senator Harding for over five
years. "He was wonderful man
and will not be appreciated until he
becomes president" In accepting
the nomination of president he said
= pledge my fidelity to the nation and
to Cod"

said Congressman Dale. In conclu-
sion he emphasized the need to 90 to-
the polls and show your loyalty by
rolling up a big vote at the coming
election.
