Frank w. Agan
His Candidacy
Frank w. Agan of Ludlow became candidate for
governor at the suggestion of members of this club We
felt that the time was ripe for organized protest
against the attempt of organized mnortes to control
government We believe that the protest of 1856 Vermont
towns ought to be needed We considered him well quail
fled to represent us and the people of Vermont chief
executive of the state
No person. special interest or political organization
controls Frank W. Agan. His life, character, public con-
duct and private enterprise are abundant proof OF his
ability and fitness. If he is chosen to serve the people OF
Vermont their governor he will give them the same
careful able and Conscientious service that ne has always
given his community and associates.
His opponents claim that the rum issue" is settled

question: has made the enforcement of the 18th amend
ment issue in every state every congressional district
county and town in this and every other state
go together but the Supreme Court says that Con-
gress must declare what Intoxicating liquor" really is
Congress says that one-haf of per cent alcohol
content is Intoxicating but everybody knows differently
Congressman will be elected this fall One-haf of one
per cent Platforms per cent two per cent five per
cent and perhaps 10 per cent platforms.
This is just as certain as the fact that the people of
Vermont-not the politicians the Anti-Saloon league

the amendment that the Vosead act was passed to en-
force
If Congress should pass law declaring three per
Gent liquor notwithstanding, Vermont must pass law
concurrng herewith but Vermont could only concur one
way-three per cent or less. If Vermont should pass
threeandonehalf per cent law it wouldn't hold but if
Vermont should pass wo-anda-half or one-and-a-half
or one-hafofone per cent law would hold. Kind of
Onesided law isn't it?
Don't you suppose that there will be one per cent

fall? We say and say this thing is back in politics
worse than it ever before. aotaaiu0s4
Isn't it in politics this minute? Haven't we two pro
inhibition candidates for governor stradde candidate
and one local option candidate? Haven't we a prohibition
candidate for Congress in this district anti Vostead
act candidates and one modification candidate?
Don't you suppose there will be one, two three, five
and perhaps 10 per cent candidates for the Legislature
IN your town and others? We say there will be-
If you're satisfied with this sort of thing don't vote

believe that 1856 men violated their oaths of office when
they voted away constitutional rights our personaI
liberty and our right to be heard this and every other
issue, vote for Frank w. Agan.
tie will voice your protest and make you good
