Full Text

There is a strong combination gotten up purposely to undertake to defeat the nomination of C. S. Page. Rutland has Joel C. Baker for candidate. Bennington county has James K. Batchelder. Chittenden county has D. J. Foster. Franklin county is booming A. A. Hall while the postmasters and federal officers throughout the district stick to Judge Powers.

The practical politicians do not admire C. S. Page as a candidate as they know if elected they could make but little use of him. The farmers, mechanics and business men however, the mass of voters are friendly to Mr. Page's candidacy because in him they find an honest, upright and fearless champion of the people.

Let them see to it that their will is not defeated by the schemers.—Poultney Journal.
