If there is one thing that looks out
of place is mud throwing, great
| deal of which is manufactured for the
occasion. The question that ought to
be of importance is: which candidate
will give us the best service. The
Office for services performed or we
are not obliged to give office for life
to any man or give a higher office
for services and votes should not
be sold to the highest bidder. A man
that stoops to that to get an office
does it to in the end to feather his
own nest. The time has come when
we must have men that see the need
of less taxes and throwing money
away, and candidates should only be
selected for the honesty and sound
ness of their political life.
A great deal of talk about the
rural schools of Vermont. A few
years back the state took our schools
out of our hands and in this town
our schools were in fine shape. We
had good schools and the people hired
and paid their teachers. If she did
not prove to be good, had a right to
let her go and get another. Now
have had no chance in anything till
now. The school buildings are sadly
in need of repair now. The state
kindly tells US they will put a pretty
plate on the building if the rural
districts will repair them. l would
think as long as you took them in
good shape why not keep them re-
paired? l hardly think there has
been $12 laid out on each district |
school since the state took them and |
besides they sold or left to rot two |
or three buildings, one in Battle Row
in fine shape, good stove, shed full
of nice dry wood, which was a dis
grace to the town. Now, why not |
let the state leave them as good as
they took them. Go among the
schools in the condition they are in
today. You promised US better
schools. Have we had them? No,
not as good and they cost twice as
much to run them as when we had
control of them.
