ANNOUNCEMENT
I think it expedient at this time to

custom of alteration, which brings it
at this time to the west division, with

work. On Monday evening, October
IL, Miss Potter talked at community
meeting in Morgan, her subject being.

attendance at both places.
The reports from these demonstrz-
tions are very encouraging. The total
attendance for six meetings was z3ls
showing an average attendance OF
38.5 people. In many communlflez
the women are planning on fafnrH
meetings at which they will continue

is hoped that the interest in this work
will increase, until the women OF the
county realize the necessity OF organ

MT. EQ1COr.
Allow me space for few words to
the voters of the town of Barton.
Since the Democratic nominee for
town representative has given the
voters his creed, which consists of at
least Ia points and therefore runs
true to his party's leader, some of
my friends have urged me to give my
platform. This / am glad to do.
1t consists of my record as a res
1dent and business man among you
for 20 years; my record in those offic-
es with which you have entrusted me;
my service to the Republican party;
and my promise to give careful con-
sideration to all legislation.
l believe such laws as will tend to
lessen the present excessive burden
of taxation are more vital to the indi-
vIdual voter than many distant and
visionary blanks concerning national
and international affairs, yet / have
no hesitancy in saying that / believe
in the principles as set forth in the
progressive Republican state plat
forms with which / trust every voter
is familiar, and for which / shall
work
If elected TO the high honor which
l seek from the hands of the voters
of this town, do not expect to be-
come leader in the legislative halls
of Vermont, do not consider myself
radical or conservative, a refomev
or corruptionist, but merely a plain
representative of the people, and un-
der the oath of Office which / seek.
will, if elected, give my best effort
and consideration to such Legislation
as comes before me, voting for what
appears to be for the best interests
of my constituents and my state.
More / cannot do
Respectfully.
