GERS. W E nave SOt lIAe creatures
on our hands to support, now why
not do it in such whole-souled
manner that they will rise up and
/ call US blessed forevermore.
Roosevelt said, Economy or
thrift is the wise spending of
money" If there is a question
on which l am solid, its is econo-
my.
], For every man, woman or child
who cannot be profitably employed
on some commission or other | IA
vor granting a $4,000 annual pen
sion for life, with new Packard
car thrown in every two years.
This would require special APP
preparation annually of $780,
| 000,000.
It's true we have our trunk line
roads so constructed that 11-ton
locomotives can go over them
with freight and express trains,
but strangely enough we haven't
got road in Vermont wherein a
submarine could navigate with any
comfort or safety. Off the main
lines we haven't any roads, and
we don't need them. The only
earthly use of these back roads is
that every now and then a pro-
hibition rum truck, wherein are
sandwiched just enough Cinnamon
to keep the bottles from breaking,
gets stuck in the mud, thus en-
aiding the officers to make cap
ture. | favor an appropriation OF
1000 900 to keep the trunk line
roads in shape, but think it most
unwise economy to spend one red
cent on the back roads.
| hope | maypever forget to
howl for economy.

If 100000 will kill part Of the
cattle in the state, by the applica
ton of little harmless tubercu-
lin, why not appropriate 100000
900, and rid the state of all the
cattle, thus enabling the back
woods farmers a chance to move
down near the trunk line roads
and rest. Then the old back, side
hill farms could be turned into
game preserves just as nature de-
signed them to be. What mar
row escape from tuberculosis!
Oftentimes a microscope is
needed to locate tubercular LESSONS
in T. B. slaughtered animals thus
proving that consumption especi-
ally in its later stages is very
hard to detect in man or beast.
am therefore heartily in favor of
an appropriation of $6,5O0,000 to
be used for the purchasing for
every man, woman and child, a re-
liable microscope thereby showing |
US at a glance whether we are
alive or dead Quite recently
discovered a suspicious looking
discoloration under my second toe
nail on my right foot but as |
had neither T. B. nor a micro
scope | am uncertain whether | m
sick or well, or whether chat |
CHASTITY disease, tuberculosis, has
got hold of me. The terrible
mystery is affecting my general
health. | advocate increasing the |
last named appropriation to $780,
900, 900 that we may be able to
buy T. B. lung protectors.

Fellow citizens do you realize
that great economist is asking
for your support?
| recommend an appropriation
of $27000,000 for adding new
features and keeping our schools
up to date. | have information
to the effect that there are in the
backwoods districts of Chittendea
county several boys and girls who
have not had, as yet, what orr
ginality nature endowed them
with, knocked down and out.
These unfortunate creatures,
am told, are n such \ lamentable
condition of ignorance, as to begin
to take an interest in the respon-
sibilites Of life. These children
should at once be removed to
some lawn tennis court and led
on cigarettes, basket ball, ice
cream and coco-cola and their ade
noids, tonsils, teeth, ears and eyes
be manicured by the Vermont
State Board Of Health. If there IS
not a marked improvement in Their
mental condition then, the board
f health should further dissect
them, saving off and chopping out
such other organs as in their !
Judgment seem useless. We must
make the coming generations
strong mentally and physically,
regardless of expense.

If God could have had any
knowledge Or comprehension |
of the wonder of modern science,
he could just as well have made
human beings and all animal life
from the scrap heaps of brass
foundries and scythe factories,
thereby saving lots of time that
is used in this popsy-wopsy tootsy
wootsy LOVING industry.

| believe in such legislation as
will enable US to hang more
people, and shall, if elected gov
ernor ask for an appropriation OF
$6,000,000 for that purpose.
Outside of my intense economi-
cal ideas. / make no pretentions.
Vermont's seacoasts have no
protection whatever and her from
tiers are absolutely at the mercy
of foreign foes. Already savages
