The Ludlow Tribune comes out
under the new editorial management.
Editor Howe is "a chip of the old
block" as we bespeak for him hearty
support from Ludlow and vicinity.
There is no doubt that next Tues
day will see the elimination of not
a few of those who had aspirations
for the speakership Of the coming
House. We shall be mistaken if the
result does not simmer down to two
or three.
Do not be misled into thinking that
you have done your duty by attend
ing the primary. That is but the pre-
urinary move. Next Tuesday every
voter who takes pride in his or her
citizenship should exercise the great
privilege that is theirs by casting
their vote for the ones who they think
best fitted for office.
There is no Disgusting the fact
that the brewers and liquor dealers
not only have their eye on the con-
gressional result in this district but
are putting large sums of money in
with which to bring about the change
they desire Not only in this district,
but in many throughout the Union
is work of this kind being done.
Hyde Park has certainly taken a
step in the right direction in the pur-
chase of the water rights of Lake
Eden. This will give the village much
additional water power to its electric
plant, which takes care not only of
those within its municipal corpora
ton, /but gives light and power to
North Hyde Park and a large number
of farms.
There is a great similarity between
the present congressional contest in
the first district and that of 1920 in
the second district. In 1920 Henry
Writer'S of Montpelier, as democrat,
made an effort to retire Porter Dale,
using as his ammunition opposition
to the Volstead act. AS result Wit
tiers was gloriously defeated. You
may look out for similar treatment of
Mr.. Kennedy in the. present first dis
trict contest ....
This paper believes in party organ
ization and in order to keep that
party alive the result of the primary
should be sustained. Stand by the
ticket that won out in the primary.
1t was there that party choice was
made and if you had part in the pri-
mary and your favorite was defeated
accept the result which was the wish
of the majority. Do not be called a
Stacker" which you will be if you
do other than support your party |
nominee.
There was very unique as well as
worthy event that the Free Press
Association pulled off" last Satur-
day evening when it gave reception
and banquet at the Hotel Vermont in
honor of two of its employees, who
have been in its service fifty years. |
The institutions of any kind are few
that can show such record of this |
kind, which is a positive indication
that employers and employees there
understand and labor for the best |
interests of each other.
Burlington is already making
preparations for the celebration of |
the 150th anniversary of the settle
ment of that city. Last Saturday an
enthusiastic meeting of the Lake
Champlain Historical Pageant Review
of 1928 was held at Plattsburg and
committees were appointed to take
the initiative in the. movement which I
will make an historical event both of
the settlement of the Queen City and
also a big celebration all along the
famous lake. 1t is estimated that the
event will bring a million visitors TO
this lake. Burlington never does any
thing by halves and this celebration
will excel anything, of the kind ever
heretofore held on Lake Champlain.
Next Tuesday is 'the day of days"
and it is hoped that all who love
law and order and believe in prohibi-
ton will show their loyalty by cast
ing vote against tampering with
what has become one of the constitu-
tional amendments and which a ma
