the evening. j. RolIc Searles, popu-
lar St. Johnsbury attorney, presided.
Congressman Porter ii. Dale o. Is
land Pond, who is running for re-
election, was the first speaker and
was followed in order by the Hon.
John W. Gordon of Barre and Hon.
Ernest W. Gibson OF Brattlcboro,
who are running against Mr.. Dale.
The three candidates for cong. es5
engaged in a free for all knocking
fest and their discussions became eN-
tremcly fiery at intervals, but ali of
this heated talk was highly amusing
to the audience. Most of the time
Of each man was spent in picking out
the flaws in the others platform, lit
tie time being left to discuss the big
issues OF the day.
In opening Mr.. Dale told Of accu-
sations being made that he was still
connected with many big business en-
tcrplises, taking considerable time
away from his congressional duties,
He denied all of these accusations and
declared that six years ago he was
engaged in large commercial enter
priscs, but tht he had given all of
these up. He said he had resigned
\ from the National Bank in Island
Pond and had sold his stock in the
Fitzdale Paper Company in Lunen-
burg. He said he was justly proud
that no concern ever lost dollar
through business dealings with him.
"Mv distinguished friend from
Brattleboro says I have sidc-stepped.
He also says that he hasn't learned
to side-step because he hadn't learned
to be a Politician Mr.. Dale de-
| clarcd.
"He referred to NV statement on
the Nolstead Act. ! don't know his
position today regarding the Nolstcad
! Net But it makes no difference what
he favors If he had studied the
conditions of the Volstead Act h"
/ would see it was q worn out rolitical
ARGUMENT.
81 don't know as ] have any r9rti-
cular difference Of opinions from
those men. The saloon has cone for

passed. to enforce the 18th amend
ment If | knew would lose my life
tomouw, nothing could make me act
to have the 18th amendment re-suh-
mitted. 1t seems strange that with
all Of these fine matters of discussion.
my opponents cannot find anything
else to condemn me on.
Mr.. Gordon was the next speaker.
He said in part:
six years ago | was candidate
! for Congress against Alexander Dun
nett Of st. Johnsbury and Porter
H. Dale Of Island Pond. As you
all remember | withdrew at midnight
on the night of the primaries while
the returns Were still coming in and
Dale got the nomination. Many have
said that Dunnett did not get the
right kind of supprt and that was
the reason he was defeated. Dale
told the people they should vote for
him because Essex Count never had
been fortunate enough to have a state
officer and he felt as though such
an honor was due that county. As
a result the people elected him.
81 come here tonight, backed by
the city of Barre, the third city in
the state, to plead for your vote,
Barre never has had a state officer
since 1873. Isn't there some reason
why the city Of Barre shouldn't have
an officer.
The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1920-09-13
"Mr. Dale has gone to YOU without

platform. I've put my ideas before
/, YOU in a clear and concise statement
and as one editor remarked nave
covered everything but the ten COM
mandmcnts and the law Of gravlta-
ton.
"You know Mr.. Dale's record. How
did he vote on the income tax ques-
ton in 1910. He voted against 1t.
He reversed and voted for 1t in 1912
after it had become part OF the Con-
stitution. That was one OF the most
beneficent laws in the history OF the
country. How would we have car
ried on the war, with its resultant
huoh expenditures, if it had not been
for this law. If he stands on his re-
co-d he has been on both sides OF
that.
HE has sent out letters to the eX-
service boys asking for their vote be-
cause he voted for the bonus bill and
enclosed a statement saying that we
should do as much for our boys as
England and France have done. He
knew that statement was false. These
two countries and Italy have not
granted any where near as much
money in bonuses as the United
States.
81 am not opposed to the bonus if
we could afford it. I've rot three
boys who came back from the wal
alive and if | thought it was right,
I'm willing to vote for it the day we
can afford it. | don't want to say
Il thing against the boys. | honor
them for their fine spirit Of patriotism
and if you could show me where we
could do it without seriously affect
ing the financial situation would
vote for it"
Mr.. Gibson spoke next and said:
81 come here tonight to discuss tho
issues before the people Of the 2nd
district and the people OF America.
| am in favor of the bonus bill and
believe that as soon as the country is
able it should give compensation to
the soldiers who fought for freedom.
"The American Legion, an organi-
cation Of those men and women who
were in the service of their country
during the war, is in favor Of three
things: ! Give farms to the sol
diers. Provide homes for ex-scr-
vice men. Vocational trainin~ Of
returned soldiers. A bonus 1t
is the purpose of the legion to make
the first three of these thinos so at
tractvc that the soliers VIII desire
them instead of the bonus.
"Think of the advantage of adding
large numbers of farms with milk at
- cents. Think of the advantage of
having contented homes. Think Of
what it would be to add 100000 men
in different arts and trades as would
be done under vocational training,
! MI Gordon argues ii would cost 100
much. If the war had gone on four
months longer it would have cost
more than all of this. Those engae-
