eve reaffirm our devotion to the |
fundamental principles of the Repub- |
Hcan party-never more important |
than at the present time-which have |
received the Endorsement of the vot-
ers of Vermont ever since the party |
was organized. We heartily endorse |
the party platform, as recently pro-
mulgated at the national Republican |
convention, and pledge our loyal sup
port to the party nominees, Harding |
and Coolidge, and we extend neigh |
borly Fluctuations to an honored son
of Vermont, whom we confidently ex-
pect will soon be inaugurated as vice
president of the United States-the |
Hon. Calvin Coolidge of Massachu- |

our senators and representatives in
the Congress of the United States,
and their efforts to promote the well
fare of their constituents and express
our confident belief that their future
conduct will be actuated by the same
high degree of devotion to the inter
ests of Vermont and of the country at
large.
"We commend the efficient and bus
iness-like administration of Gov. Per-
cival w. Clement, and our cordial
good wishes follow him upon his
forthcoming retirement from the ex-
ecutive Office.
".
eve heartily indorse the nominal
ton of the Hon. James Hartness for
the office of Governor. In his NOM
nation we see the forecast of a pro-
gram for the betterment of Vermont
in agricultural, industrial and educa-
tional lines, and in other directions
looking toward our general material
progress and tending to the welfare
iof our state and its people. We like
wise indorse the nomination of the
other candidates on the congression-
al and state tickets.
