The Democratic candidate for Con-
gress from the second district, John D.

and he spoke on the necessity of tax
ing definite stand on matters of state
and national interest In regard to the
VoIstead act he stated that the law,
which enforces the 18th amendment,
should not go beyond or fall short Of
the amendment. The law must be one
which the majority would respect, he
said, in regard to its definition of in
toxicating liquor and beverage pur-
poses. The great majority at present

stead act.

to the principles of Lincoln's day He

he stated was for the state commit

said he thought clear definition be-
tween Republican and Democratic
aims should be made this year.
Harry G. Shurtleff of Montpelier
urged the Democrats present to assist
n the circulation of petitions and se
sure the assent of the nominees before
Aug. II. At the present time it paid

'eferred to the conduct Of the attorney
general in the Morse case. Mr.. McGov-
