Don't be "hoodoed" by a gutter
A political gutter is usually one who
HAS a personal axe to grind. Look
out for him. Vote for your party
nominee, especially when he is the
best mon for the office.
The New England Homestead,
which is exceedingly severe on Con-
gresham Frank l.. Greene for his
vote against free potash, suggests
that it's advertising columns are open
to him, which means that if Mr..
Greene wants to make reply he can
do so by paying the Homestead cold
cash The Rutland Herald calls this
"a holdup." 1t certainly is and de-
serves condemnation of the severest
kind. 1t is anything but good news
paper ethics.
The Rutland Herald, much as it dis
likes the VoIstead act, pays Candi-
date Fleetwood the following compli-
ment: .a
"While The Herald does not agree
with Mr.. Fleetwood's position as to
the Volstead act, it must record with
approval the excellent impression he
made on the candidates and commit
teemen who assembled in Rutland
last Friday. Furthermore, he has
robbed the opposition of one weapon
by taking definite position on a sub
ject which, despite the position of
some local statesmen, is and will con-
tinue to be an ISSUE"
What does this mean? Has Hind
ley become SO thoroughly innoculated
with his advocacy of annihilating the
Volstead act and Kennedy's idea of
beer and light wines that he doesn't
know the difference between the
Governor Of Georgia and the Presi-,
dent? Witness the following state
ment in Mondays Rutland Herald:
"The President made hit with the
news hounds of the press by APP
pointing Mrs. w. H. FELTON, of Geor-
gia, aged 81, as United States sena-
tor, but some of the dear lady's
folks ought to shoe off the reporters.
She talks and poses too much for
nice old peoples notions"
Those University of Vermont
students did "exceed the limit" when
they, in celebrating the football vic
tory with Dartmouth, besmeared
store windows with paint, rang false
fire alarms and did other nefarious
acts in Burlington. Mayor jackson
did the right thing in calling Presi-
dent Bailey's attention to these
capers and stating that a repetition
would be summarily dealt with. Pres
ident Bailey undoubtedly regrets the
riotous acts and will use all the pow
ers that are his in seeing that the
like does not occur again. Boys. will
be boys" but they should remember
that they do not surrender gentle
manly conduct when they enter col |
lege.
Do you remember that enthusiastic |
MASS Convention" the democrats |
had while ago at Hyde Park? 1t |
was full of enthusiasm and as a re-
suit ,ticket composed of democrats,
with one or two exceptions, was
placed in nomination. Well, what
"gets our goat" at this time is
glance at the ticket that is to be
voted on in November. In spite of
that enthusiastic" rally the demo-
cratic ticket just printed contains but
one or two of the nominees of that |
mass" gathering, while the rest of 4
the ticket is made up of republicans
the out-and-out democrats having
been eliminated. We presume when
those who attended the aforesaid
"mass" gathering come to the polls
in November they will shut their
eyes and vote the ticket as printed,
all about that "mass" con-
vention, and what was said about that
awful Republican Darty
