5 CANDIDATES
in FIELD FOR
COUNTY SENATOR
J. ROlfe Searles Latest As.
pirant to Throw His Hat
Into the Ring

The political pot is boiling over.
All you have to do nowadays is to
stir the kettle Il little and you get
new candidates for office ana political
! gossip that has even the wise ones
guessing.
The latest and hottest political sit
uation has been created in the con-
test for Caledonia County senator
ship. Some months AGO DR.. }. ID.
Bachand, the entelprising st. Johns
bury dentist announced his candi-
dacy for the scnatorship and then
turned out as the supervisor of the
General Wood campaign for this Sec
ton. Just how much this increased
his political prestige is a question.
William F. Russell OF Kirby, very
solid and eStimable citizen and pros
porous farmer, came into the Scna-
toral field. He has mar friends to
urge his candidacy. Soon after came
the announcement Of the candidacy
of Frank 7. Taylor of Hardwick. Mr..
Taylor is likewise a substantial cit
izen and had an excellent record as 4
representative fom his town in the
last Legislature.
This seemed quite q formidable az
ray Of talent until into the field last
week came our esteemed attorney
Charles A. Shields. Mr.. Shields has
held about every Office in the gift of
the voters of St. Johnsbury and
has always shown devotion to duty
and ability which has made him a
very strong nublic servant. His en-
try into the field put an entirely new
face on the Senatorial situation.
Today q new bombshell was thrown
into the political not by the announce
ment that Attorney J. Rolfe Searlcs
had thrown his hat into the Senao-
rial ring. The mention of Searles
brings to mind red hot campaien-
Ell, former chairman of the Republi-
can State committee. ii sterling public
official and one to be reckoned with
seriously in the Senatorial situation.
With the Senatorial primaries the
second Tuesday in September and
five avowed candidates in the field,
the first of July starts off with the
political pot sizzling. There is still
a chance for favorite sons and clark
hefaes" and as. this is presidential
year and about everyone is playing
notifies it would not be surprising to
see other candidates for Senator an
nounced anydav.
AS the small boys are now saying,
Come on in the waters fine"

Few of us escape meas1es-it is one of the commonest of child hood diseases. Every mother knows the symptoms, but the mistake that most mothers make is in failing to realize that the child is not fully recovered after the eruption and fever disappear. The air passages are still infamed and if this inflammation is not cleared up, the air passages may be weakened, thus paving the way for pneumonia Or serious disease of the lungs.
 Nightly applications of Vick's s VapoRub will aid nature in relieving this inflammation. Be- cause Vicks acts locally by stim- u1ation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation, attract the blood away from the congested spots and relieve the cough. In addition, the medicinal ingre- dients of Vicks are vaporized by the body heat. These vapors are breathed in all night long,
