Since Mr. Agan began his speaking campaign
his political stock has gone up by leaps and bounds
When he made his first important political speech in
Felchville last month, he said
81 am the wet candidate and | stand here two
feet and admit it. but not advocating the open saloon
started out Is years to do something for temperance
and the result the local option law the best temper
Vermont had!"
Vermont voters like man who stands up and frankly
and courageousy tells what he stands for Even if they
disagree with him they can respect man who has no
ifs "perhapses in his makeup They know where
to find him. They know he will do as he agrees.

Although he admits being wet candidate Mr. Agan
point to the record of the local option law its
forcemen and results rstclass constructive work for
temperance

100 towns in which liquor sold contrary law In
the first year of local option go towns voted for license
In the last year of local option only 13 voted "Yes and
licenses issued in only nine towns. We say that
good temperance work.
When 155 voters voted away rights to control
the liquor business in way, the people of YER

national prohibition. They had not given their repre-
sentatives any mandate about it. The first chance they
got they repudiated the action of those 155

That's the secret of the of the Agan campaign
-Vermonters resent having anything put over on
them. They like to do their thinking and regulating
They don't want 155 to say that the state of Yer
mont shan't run its own business.
At the same meeting in Felchville, Mr. Agan had
something to say about cider
Taking up the cider issue the speaker said that if
farmer buys cider at mill he has certify govern

made into vinegar what disposition is made of it, when
to whom and, at any time, the government inspector may
appear and demand the right to inspect the product
IF any time the cider shows - of per cent

How would you like a government inspector call

demanded Mr.. Agan
He said the housewife who takes the juice of black
berries edeberes any other fruit and adds sugar
becomes moonshiner.
"Tf your wife is caught the street with package
of hops she is violating the yostead and is subject
prosecution" he declared
This is bringing this 18th amendment and the Vol II

protest and make you good governor.
