POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Greensboro Has a Record.

We wish at this time to place be-
fore the people of Orleans county as
candidate for assistant Judge, A. C.
Chase of Greensboro.
Mr.. Chase is well known through
out the county as a deputy sheriff.
which position he has held for 20
years.
He is well known in the county and
needs no introduction to it's people as
he was born and brought up in Glow
er and has been a resident of Orleans
county all his life.
A town which in the last 20 years
has not had a single uncollected tax
is something of rarity in Vermont
and the record is probably not equal
led in New England.
This record has been made possible
by the efficient service which A.~C.
Chase, as tax collector for the last
20 years, has given Greensboro.
Mr.. Chase, if elected, is well quali-
fled to fill the position of assistant
Judge, to his own credit and the Gre
dit of Orleans county.
Sincerely,
RIA. Ritchie, "a

Barton town meeting passed into
history Tuesday afternoon after two
sessions filled with interest. While
there were no real fireworks there
was much discussion and question
ing with reference to many things.
Discussion with reference to ac-
cepting the reports of the officers
brought out the fact that the town
road and town school overdrafts had
been taken care of from the general
fund of the town which was not
thought to be right since the two in
corporated districts supported their
own schools and roads and contribut-
ed most of the taxes for the towns
general fund. The recommendations
of the auditors that no department
oyerdraw it's account. that the treas
urer paw no overdrafts in any de-
partment, that vouchers for all bills
be presented to the auditors and that
the town school money be kept sep
arate from the other town moneys,
were adopted. /,
Harry Dickens, who has served
very acceptably for two years as
overseer desired that the selectmen
act as overseer which brought out
much discussion, but Mr.. Dickens
was finally prevailed upon to again
take the office with salary of $500
for administering it. A ballot for
overseer resulted in 131-votes being
cast and of these Dickens received
115 and the remaining 16 votes were
divided between several others.
Tt was voted to have the selectmen
appoint two road commissioners in
stead of electing them as usual. APP
pointments have not yet been made.
The usual amounts for the support
of the Barton and Orleans libraries
and for the G. A. R. Posts for the
celebration of Memorial day was vot-
ed. The article to change the Or
leans incorporated school district to
include the Colby farm was voted.
The list of the principal officers
elected will be found with the list
of other town officers elected yester-
day.

). b. Bates a Candidate for
Senator
Senator

For some months the suggestion bas
frequently been made to me that I
become a candidate, from the north
end of Orleans County, for the state
senate, at the coming election next
fall.
1t has not been my purpose or de-
sire to do so unless the sentiment an
peared to be such that a contest was
improbable. This is the reason for
not earlier giving my friends a def
mite reply.
1t is only fair to them now to saw
that have decided to become a can.
didate and that, if nominated and
elected, l shall endeavor to give NV
best efforts to all measures which
seem to me to be for the best in
terest of the state.
Instead of announcing any plat
form, wish to have it understood
that shall be glad to meet and con-
fer with the voters of the county at
any time and discuss with them the
questions in which We are all inter-
ested.
Having decided to become a can
didate, it is needless for me- to saw /
shall appreciate the support of the
Voters of this county.

Lincoln Leases Hotel Barton.

A years lease of Hotel Barton was
consummated the first of the week be-
tween the directors of the Hotel Bar
ton corporation and J. Ira Lincoln,
who has been managing the hotel
since it was purchased by a corpora
tion composed principally of Barton's
business men.
The hotel was thoroughly repaired
repainted and refurnished and equip
ped at a cost of more than $4,000
making it one of the finest small
hotels in the state. Mr.. Lincoln has
steadily improved the service and
table until Hotel Barton has been
quoted from one end of the state to
the other as fine hotel.
1t is a great satisfaction to the peo-
pie of Barton to know that Mr.. Lin
coin is to remain in charge of the
hotel as both Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln
and the family have made many
friends.
There is every reason to believe
the high standard the hotel has built
up under Mr.. Lincoln's management
will be continued, if not improved, and
that Hotel Barton will more and more
become name synonymous with SER
vice

A Russet Potato for This Section.

Two pages of the last issue of the
Potato Magazine is given up to the
story of comparatively new potato
which is gaining great popularity in
many parts of the United States and
has been introduced into Orleans
county by E. S. Kelley of Browning
ton.
This potato is Dibble's Russet, or
the Petoskey Golden Russet. The
magazine says this potato was FIRST
brought out in 1908 and that it's sue-
cess is little short of marvellous. The
magazine tells of the success of rails
ers in Michigan especially, where from
$50 bushels of certified seed was
raised to the acre to crop of 541
bushels of marketable potatoes to the
acre.
The potato is claimed to be less sus-
ceptible to scab and other potato
diseases besides being big producer.
The Potato Magazine is no less enthu-
siastic about this potato than is Mr..
Kelley.

Lieut.. Gov. Foote Announces
Candidacy

shall be a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor Of
Vermont in the Primaries.
l stand on my record for conser-
vative constructive legislation as a
member of the House of 1900, doing
our work in fifty-seven days and doing
it well; as Assistant Judge of Adj
olson County Court from 1902 to 1906.
as a member of the House In 1915:
and of the Senate of 1917, and Pres
ident of the Senate of 1921.
believe in the pay-as-you-go policy
for the present, in State highway
work. When we learn to construct
roads that will last little longer than
the bonds run, it will be time enough
to consider bonding the State. Ad-
ditional revenue to meet the Federal
Aid funds can be realized by a tax
on gasoline and revising our auto
mobile tax to a valuation basis and
make the heavy cars pay their just
proportion.
I stand for Vermont's- continued
recognition of her. obligations to- her
sons and daughters who took such
noble part in the, World War.
/ would encourage more of our
young men, especially the returned
soldier, to own farm or village
home.
I stand for the just demands Of
labor for legislation to promote the
welfare and safety of workingmen.
I have faith in Vermont and Yer
monters, and believe, with our great
water powers developed, the tide will
turn and we shall come back in indus
trial development.
If nominated and elected, I win
give my enteire time and attention to
the duties of the office, and, if you
elect a Legislature that will support
me in the effort, promise that there
will be no $1.00 tax, and am sure we
can reduce the present heavy State
tax. By this I do not mean that we.
should lower the efficiency or obstruct
the necessary business of the State,
but would insist that every dollar
raised by taxation be carefully ex-
pended.
Without campaign managers Or the
means to employ a publicity bureau,
appeal squarely to the people Of
Vermont.

Thompson Candidate for Representa-

f. ID. Thompson announced his cam

before town meeting adjourned for
the noon hour Tuesday. He said it
was the will of the voters in 1921
that he remain at home and for the
circumstance he had since been glad
because of reasons which had arisen,
but now he sought the office with the
hope that he might find favor in
sight of the voters of the town and
be sent to the Vermont house at it's
next session from Barton, an honor
which he would esteem highly and a
trust which he would endeavor to
fulfill to the best of his ability.
