LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A QUESTION OF LOYALTY
Editor CALIFORNIAN

Editor Caledonian-Record:
With no haru coal in the mar
ket and with soft coal at $1,000 a
ton Tor none to be had,) there
must be withholding of coal
somewhere, and profteering into
the bargain.
Our State fuel administrator
has advised the use of soft coal
OIL wood, with the alternative of
suffering from cold if we do not
use the one or the other. With
soft coal at such a high price, the
choice would naturally fall on the
use of wood, soft or hard; the
latter for furnaces and the former
for cooking stoves, perhaps. We
must use wood at any rate.
There is plenty of wood in Yer
mont to supply at least our need
for use in homes, perhaps enough
to help also in our industrial
plants.
Shall we, as Vermonters, use
what we have, or pay the profit
GERS Ill COdl. CHdll we, DIS YER
monters, profiteer in the price of
wood?
We are in a state of industrial
war. Self-seeking is at war
against the people in general. The
wage earners are fighting for the
highest wage they can get. Coal
operators are fighting for the
highest price they can get. Con-
science does not enter into the
reckoning. War to win the biggest
wage and the highest price is be-
ing made against the consumer.
Shall Vermonters submit to the
co-profteers when they have
wood to burn? And will Yer
monters join the ranks of the
enemy and squeeze the last dol
lar out of the consumer that they
can get out of him for wood?

GOV. HARTNESS
STOPS GAMES OF
CHANCE AT FAIRS
Sec. of Civil and Military
Affairs Shaw Resigns
Because of Order

The weather man and Governor
Hardness dealt the Rutland fair a
staggering blow yesterday.
Rain began falling hard at 10
o'clock and before noon the judges
postponed the track program.
About the same time States Attor-
ney Charles E. Novak arrived on
the grounds with the information
that he had instructions from the
governor that every game of
chance on the grounds must be
stopped.
The officials complied with the
order and returned money taken
for rentals from concessionalles.
Among the booths hit bv the edict
Of the governor was that of the
Rutland Post American Legion
which was endeavoring to raise
money by selling "paddles" on
blankets. Other booths affected are
those conducted along the midway
of all fairs where dolls, blankets
and trinkets are awarded to pa
irons who pay a small sum and
take a chance to receive something
in return.
The same action at the Middle
bury fair, where the American Lee
,gion was stopped from selling an
automobile by tickets as subjected
the governor to considerable ad-
verse criticism. l~air officials claim
that they had kept close watch on
the midway and that there was no
gambling and that there were no
more games of chance than are en-
ployed at church Iairs or like en-
tertainments They suggest that if
the order is not modified church
entertainments will have to come
within the scope of the HARNESS
order the coming winter
Judge H. +. Shaw of BulliaE-
ton has resigned as Gov. Hastness'
secretary of civil affairs. Lack IF
sympathy with the governor in the
dastic step which he took in clos
ing the midway booths at Middle
bury fair, followed by Sint'a
order directed toward the Rutland
fair, are given as the cause for Ma
jor Shaw'S action.
The governor is quoted as saying
that his secretary's resignation j.
"iumentable" but neither the exc
cutlvc nor Moor Shaw had lauch
70 say in regard to the incident.
Col. Ernest w. Gibson OF Brat
ticOoro, commander of the 172hd

ASKS VOTES FOR MR.. LOCKE

ASKS VOTES FOR Mr.. LOCKE
Gentlemen
You may use the following if
you feel that it will help Mr..
Locke's candidacy. Use it as a
communication.
Mr.. Locke, to my mind has
those exceptional qualities which
make for the betterment of all
things pertaining to the manage
ment of State affairs. He has
the interests of our County sin
cerely at heart and we feel that
he will better represent our inter
SITS than ither of the other can
didates from the South end.
Mr.. Locke is a man of principle,
He is open in all his dealings; fair
in all his judgments and honest in
his convictions. Early in the cam
paign Mr.. Gilpin publicly stated
that he would not use the columns
of his own newspapers to aid his
candidacy, but we find that now
as the time for the primaries
draws near he has a large amount
OF space telling of his own quail
fcations. Where did he qualify?
Should he not serve his town in
the house before trying for the
Senate; or does he think he has
more friends outside his own town
than in it and that he can the
more easily grab this seat without
serving the usual apprenticeship.
We think he should try at least
once more to represent his town
before going to the Senate and
we respectively solicit votes for
Mr.. Locke at the primaries on
Tuesday, Sept, 18th,
