voters of the State
To the voters of Vermont:
Are you planning to be at the polls
on Tuesday. November End? on that
day there certainly will be the most
Solemn referendum ever held by the
American people since the days of Lin
coin.
NO election in the memory of men now
living has meant so much or 40
frausht with far-reaching results as the
one that now confronts us
\ Republican President, a Republican
House. Republican Senate backed by
a Republican party as the result of this
election would make the business world
and mon who have fastened their faith
to our old Constitution as the sheet
anchor of our liberties. feel that that
great experiment of government Of the
people, by tho people, for the people
had received a now lease or life
Vermont is always Republican This
year it should be overwhelmingly 50 If
the freeman and freewomcn of the state
appreciate the seriousness of the crisis
that is upon us.
Patriotic enthusiasm is contagious Let
ours be so great that it will mean fifty
thousand majority strong for Harding
with an overflow that will float the
Gospel to our sister States around about.
The future bu'ks big with perils. The
war is over but the mighty results of
that struggle are not. No man can ap-
pre- late the awful, senseless waste the
country has suffered by reason Of the
wrong-hcaded, upbusiness-like conduct OF
the present administration. Money has
been leaves and credit common air The
country must get back to safe sound.
sane buslness-llke methods. The Re
publican party has always been the
party Of business. It Is the only party
that can blaze the way and lead back
TO old-time prosperity and progress.
We must get back to constitutional
government, the only hope of free
people that would keep free The party
Of Lincoln will take and keep us there.
1t is the party that will find and fornu-
late a League of Nations that the Con-
stitution of this Republic can keep COM
pany with and the people can get back
of. This Is no one-man country.
You say we must help n sick and sor-
rowing world. Yes, but better minister
at its bedside than be smothered by
disease and contagion by getting into
bed with II.
Senator Harding. our Republican can
didate. needs no apologies for his phys
ical presence, his mental makeup or
his moral standing. / know the man
and admire him. He will discharge
grandly the duties of the great Office
of President of the United States. He
will work with and for the people He
will protect and defend the people s
government that Washington founded
and Lincoln saved.

The question of n moral obligation
was asked point Sblank by a man In

Cox declared that there would be nc

CLEMENT URGES
BIG G.. o. p. VOTE
Governor Asks Republicans &, Gtxc
Vermont n Record Mnjority

Rutland. oct G.--At the request of Wi,
~. Hays, chairman OF the Republican
National COMMITTEES. .,C;ov. Perciva, w
Clement has issued an urgent appeai for
q record Republican vote at next woolt,s
election The Governors appeal reads as
follows:
AT the election next Tuesday. the issue
is whether this country shall return TO
competent responsible, honest. constitu-
tional government or continue in power, a
party which has not only demonstrated
It's incapacity, but whose head the presi-
dent of the United States. has steadfast-
~ resisted all efforts to return their gov
ernment into the hands of the people.
The issue of the League Of Nations Is
not paramount. In accordance with the
pact between Cox and Wilson. the Pres
dents pet notion has been forced tn the
front. Now. faced by certain and over
whelming defeat, the Democratic leaders
are using the LEAGUE as a mask: they
cannot faca and defend the waste. graft
and inefIiciency Of their pa~ts's govern
ment so thoy seek to disguise tn. true
issue.
Nothing in history has ever eaaailed the
stupendous cost II the world war, and
nothing in the his .or-v of the United States
has equalled the strrendous waste and
folly OF the Democratic administration of
that war. In addition. the creation Of
now fedora positions The padding of
pay rolls. the duplication of effort. the
endless red tape in every department have
created situation which can only he
amended by returning the national gov
eminent INTO honest and capable hands.
The State of Vermont Will be hoard
from Tuesday, November ?, in no un-
certain terms. believe the nation ex-
poets our state TO make that verdict so
plain and unmis akable. the reatorlty for
Harding and Coolidge, for Iartness and
Foote, and for the senatorial and rom
resentative candidates. so overwhelrninL.
as TO maze it resound throughout the ma
ton
! hope that every voter, malc and fe-
male. cHttble to the suffrage, will enroll
and vote. SO that Vermont will assume
her true leadership and establish new
record for the endorsement of republican
ism and the rebuke Of political chicanery
and incompe ence in high places.
