Merchants Lot Not a Happy One.

1t takes lot of brains and more courage to be
a successful merchant Very, very few men in this
country of boasted trade opportunities have grown
to- recognized riches in the field of merchandising.
Usually when a merchant attans wealth, investiga-
ton shows it by wise, or fortunate, investment
in something else.
The huge profits of the merchant are largely
myth Just now they have few happy days, but
many troubled nights The farmer is not alone in
having goods produced at high prices in a market
of less than their cost Every merchant shares with
him this delectable situation.
Merchandise now in the stores, was bought
eight or ten months ago at the high average of that
time 1t is now being offered to the public without
profit at prices that probably do not more than
equal its replacement. In other words, the mer-
chants are lquidatng. They are turning their
goods into cash and giving the public the benefit.
If they break even they fortunate. If it means
loss, they have the courage to take it. They will
do business. They will be ready for new, fresh
stock, for the public demands what is seasonabe.
The buyers get the benefit of this in the dollar
greater value in purchasing power and this just at
the holiday time when it counts the most. If the
merchant has any recompense, it is in a sense OF
humor at the thought Of the excess profits tax
Uncle Sam will not get.

D..CHAND CLAIMS
"STEAM ROLLER"
USED AGAINST Him
Appeals to Freeman of Our
County" Against Party
Leaders

Dir. J. d. Bachand, candidate for
Senator from Caledonia county, has
thrown a little life into the five-cor-
nered fight for the Republican nomi-
nation for this office, by sending out
a letter today to Republican voter,
claiming that he is being "steamrol-
led" by the organization leaders in
this county. He makes a rather
pathetic appeal to the freeman of
our county" asking if it is fair after
eight years of service to the Repub-
lcan organization to have the leaders
"set the steam roller in motion loaded
with the worst venom crushed he
must be-"
The other candidates for the Office
are William P. Russell of Kirby,
Frank T. Taylor of Hardwick,
Charles A. Shields and J. Rolfe Scar
les of St. Johnsbury.
The Republican organization lead
ers will undoubtedly reply to DR..
Bachand's charges. He may consider
Sloa1l GOlllIlS HlSIeIy having op'
position to his candidacy. If this is
"steam rolling" the five candidates for
Governor and the many candidates
for other Offices throughout the state
are also in the same category.
DR.. Bachand's letter which does not
fail to state his occupation is as fol-
lows:
My Dear Sir:
For eight years l have given the
Republican Party organization in
our county the best there is in me,
with the understanding naturally
that some day it would be reciprocal

candidacy as County Senator.
A great change has taken place
suddenly. | am no more desirable.
The Political machine Uf st. Johns
bury has set the steam roller in mo-
ton loaded with the worst venom

man of our county" irrespective of
party affiliation, my platform for
your serious consideration. If you
believe me worthy of your suffrage,
ask your support.
Yours truly, (Signed)
