PROPOSED HOOVER CLUB IN
BARRE.

Those in Barre and vicinity who are
interested in the formation of a club
to advance the candidacy of Herbert
c. Hoover for president of the United
States are cordially invited to attend a
meeting at the city court room this
evening at 1880 o'clock. Those who
are instrumental in the activity for
the formation of this club have no po-
litical axe to grind, expect no political
plums; they are simply interested, and
sincerely interested, in a modest en-
deavor to help the cause of the every
day citizen of the United States, be-
ieving that Hoover represents the sort
OF president which the situation now
demands. So they are seeking coop
Grafton from everyone who feels con-
fidence in the probity, ability and
adaptability Of the former food admin
istrator as a candidate for the White
House job. The meeting is open to
everyone. In fact, it is everyone's
meeting, to do and say as they think
best. There ought to be good attend
ance of people who are interested
enough in declaring their freedom from
political intrigue and political machins-
tion TO get out for the formation of a
Hoover club.

CURRENT COMMENT
Real Hoover Sentiment in Vermont.

"a staff correspondent Of the Spring
field Republican, writing from Brattle-
boro, tells of Vermont enthusiasm for
Hoover as a presidential candidate and
a general desire TO have his name on
the ballot. There is no doubt that
Hoover would prove most acceptable to
a large number of Vermonters: but as
the time for the filing of nominations
is short, a movement in favor of this
latest candidate would have TO be
pushed at lively rate."-Ludlow Trib-
une.
The presidential primary m Vermont
amounts to nothing but the expense
which it creates. The greater majority
Of Vermonters probably do not realize
that there is such a thing in existence.
Until only recently there was one name
proposed for the primary, that of a
man by the name of Wheeler. who put
himself on. and who is entirely I'M
known TO Vermonters. The primary
has little or no significance under the
circumstances. The voting will take
place without any preliminary cam
paign, without any serious discussion
Of the desirability of any of the candi
dates. As to Hoover, there is a real
sentiment in the state for the man. II
won't be expressed at the primaries,
but il will exist just the same.-St.
Adams Messenger.

Thinks Farmers Want Hoover.

Editor, Barre Times: We have about
100000 farmers in the different farm
ers organizations of the United States
and we represent more capital than
any other class of business and we pro-
pose to have something to say in re-
gard to who shall be our next pres
ident We don't believe in strikes. 1t
is too costly and cumbersome way to
settle a dispute. One strike usually
leads to another, directly or indirectly,
good deal like telling lie. You have
to tell dozen to get out of it.
/ hope your readers will not confine
their Hoover club activities to the city
limits, for / believe eight out OF every
10 farmers would support Mr.. Hoover
for our next president. We have been
fed on rotten politics so long that we
would welcome a change.
Am enclosing little clipping to go
with this:
"There is one broad general assertion
that may be made with regard TO farm
ers in all countries, and no less in the
United States That is, the farmer has
maintained production; he has kept
hard at work performing the social
service that comes only by production
of commodities. The people engaged in
manufacturing, mining and transporta-
ton agencies have slackened enormous
ly since the armistce, and are not
carving their share of the load any
where in the world.
"The result is that the farmer is
making an economic contribution to
the other sections of the community
that they have no right to exact from
him.
"If everybody in the community
worked intelligently and vigorously for
such portion of every day as his ply.
steal well being warrants, there would
be an equality between all sections OF
the community; but when one section
slackens down its efforts, it must live,
directly or indirectly, on those who
work
"The actual, tangible effect of all
this is to increase the prices of man
ufactured goods to the farmer and thus
further cut into the margins Of saving
that he could make from his produe-
tion. This does not release the farmer
from his obligation to work, but it
does make it desirable for him to think
on social questions.
1--WE are going through reconstruc-
tion period of great difficulty. We
have greatly inflated our internal cred
its or currency, with all its consequent
tial stimulus to speculation through
easy money. We have wild extrava-
gance on the part of those sections of
the community that have had larger
incomes than they can intelligently
spend. We are faced with great dis
ruptions in the course Of the worlds
commerce.
"All these troubles are to be expected
out of great World war. They could
be good deal mitigated if we could
apply our national energies to their
solution instead of holding a talk-fest
over industrialism and instead of jock
eying for political positions. Whether
we will concentrate our minds and en-
ergies on these problems, do not
know, but certainly see little indica-
ton of it hereabouts." A. W. Badger.

form he struck a keynote that deserves
more than passing notice.
A liberal platform" is worth while
in religion, politics, business, or socie-
ty II lacks narrowness, which is al
ways weakness; it possesses broadness,
which is always strength. 1t ignores
classes, and recognizes the masses. II
appeals to men, prevents their going to
extremes and holds them together on a
middle ground that affords opportunity
for genuine progress. Nationally
speaking, the "liberal platform" as
sumes international color, and so con-
tributes to the development of The best
things for others besides ourselves.
Herbert G. Hoover may not become
PRESIDENT he may; but whether
he does or not, liberality of platform
may wisely be considered by both Of
the great political parties.-Ludlow
Tribune.

plenty of time in which to choose his

make up their minds who they want
