candidate, committo emcn and others
held IL very successful meeting III
/ L.unenburg Saturday afternoon. The
! occasion was one of the series an
ranged by tn erepublican state COM
mitIcc.
This meeting was in charge OF
Harry Il. Anle.' of Island Pond, the
Essex county member OF the COM
mittcr, and was IL splendid success
! from every point OF view. The meet
ing. was held at the Heights House
and opened with Il bounteous chicken
dinner, one of Landlord and Mrs.
NCwmun's best Music during the din
ner was furnished bv the Whitcfield
orchestra.
The day was ideal and the pilgrim
age to rock-ribbed republican Lunen-
burg was an inspiration to all who
participated. The event was unique
and more successful because of the
large representative attendance OF
the women of the county.
Essex county is the home of Con-
greSsman Porter H. Dale and it was
citing that he was the honored guest
Of the occasion and the first speaker.
Congressman Dale congratulated
those present because they were
members of the republican party and
in his instructive and inspiring adj
dress said in part substance as fol-
lows:
The republican -arty was called in
to being in q crisis in the nations af-
fairs and this party has always been
called upon and has never failed 10
meet its responsibilities in case Of
the nations need. With these his
toric facts you are all familiar. Nev-
er has the nation needed a steady
governing force more than today.No
other party is so well equipped to
meet this responsibility as the repub-
lican party. There are MANY reasons
why it should come back as the ma
tion's Governing force. We need the
republican naltv today because we
need the strongest economical force
brought back into the country's af-
fairs. The outrageous extravaganza
Of the past few wears, the waste of
billions and billions Of dollars the
democrats say was one Of the neces-
sites Of the war and was q help
to victory. This is all wrong. Our
victory was only made nossible by
the magnificent response of the "reat
armv of heroic youth who crossed the
sca and to their bravery and the cash
Of their American spirit.
We need the protection tariff poll
cy of the republican party. and the
splendid example of frugalitv and
typical Americanism that is personifi-
ed in our standard bearers, Harding
and Coolidge.
We need the republican party that
we may apply staying Governing
force to that alarming, increasing
class of people who are preaching a
sort Of new freedom in answer to the
cry to make the word safe for De-
mocracy. The only wav we can
make the world safe is to make it
safe for republic.
We need the return of the republi-
can party in order that we may re-
gain our position of confidence and
trust among the nations of the earth.
We began to lose that when our dem
ocratic president took more interest
in SUGGESTING who ought to be presi-
dent of Mexico than he did in pro-
tecting the interests of our citizens
who were being murdered in that
country. We lost our place, too,
when the president went across the
sea and the diplomats OF other lands
met him face to face and were able
TO size up the man.
We need the election Of Warren G.
Harding as president Of the United
States. The nation is in a crisis. 1t
is our duty and responsibility today
to return the republican party to
power and to keep its record unsullied
for therein lies '''o hope of the ma
tons future.
The next speaker was Col. Curtis
S. Emery of Newport, whom Mr..
Amey introduced as his friend whose
escape from the late unpleasantness
could best be described by the fami-
liar Salvation Army slogan: "He's
down, but not out cone, but not
disfgured but not des-
troye1w Mr.. Amev asked the New
port orator to tell his hearers ABOUT
his effort "to drive the monev chang
ers out of the temple" Col. Emery
said that if ever his republicanism
needed stimulating and rejuvenating
, tlin to Essex county, was sure
cure for it. Vermont's republicanism
,an always be uenended upon. If
here is anything about it that needs
and adjusting we can
,etter do it ourselves. 81 don't be-
ieve in burning our snip to kill the
ats" Col. Emery said if Mr.. Hart
'eSs, the candidate for governor.
'The nominee is an absolutely honest
nan and man who will have the
rerv best interests of Vermont at
,eart for the next two years. After
he haphazard national administra-
ion of the rast eight years it shows
he wonderful vitalit-- of the nation
hat we are still alive TO tell the
torv. Col. Emery felicitated Con-
eressmfn Dale on his s~lendid vic !
