Frank W. Agan
His Candidacy
: 1 '
Frank W. Agan of Ludlow became a candidate
for governor at the suggestion of members of this
club. We felt that tlie lime was ripe for an organiz
ed protest against the attempi of-organized minorit
ies to control our governinent. We beljeved that the
protest of 136 Vermont towns ought to be heeded.
1 We considered him vvell qualifìed to represent us
and the people of Vermont as chief executive of the
state. -
No person, special interest or politicai organiza
tion controls Frank W. Agan. His life, character,
public conduct and private enterprise are abundant
proof of his ability and fitness.. If he is chosen to
serve the people' of Vermont as their governor, he
will give them the sanie careful, able and conscien
tious servicc that he has always given his community
and associa tes.
His opponents claim that the "rum issue" is set
tled for ali time. We claim that nothing is ever set
tled until it is settled right. The recent decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States, instead of
"settling" the question has made the enfórcement of
the 18th amendment an i sue in every state, every
congressional district, every county and every town
in this and every other state.
The bone-dry Yolstcad act and the bone-dry
amendment go together, but the Supreme Court
says that Congress must declare what "intoxicating
'liquor" really is. Congress now says that one-half
of one per cent alcohol coment is intoxicating, but
everybody knows differenti'. Congressmen will be
elected this fall on one-half of one per cent plat
forms,one per cent, two per cent, five per cent and
perhaps 10 per cent platfornis.
This is just as certain as the fact that the people
of,' Vermont not thè politieians or the Anti-Saloon
league are thoroughly disgusted with the Volstead
act and the amendment that the Volstead act was
passed to enforce.
i Congress should pass a law declaring three
per cent liquor non-intoxicating, Vermont must pass
a law concurring therewith, but Vermont could only
concur one way three per cent or less. If Vermont
should pass a three-and-one-half per cent law it
wouldn't hold, but if Vermont should pass a two-and-a-half
or one-and-a-half or one-half-of-one per
cent law it would hold. Kind of a one-sided law, isn't
it? -v i Si
Don't you suppose that there will be one per
cent, two per cent, five per cent and perhaps 10 per
cent candidates injour town,your county and your
district this fall? We say .so.and we say this thing
is back in politics worse than it ever was before.
Isn't it in politics this minute? Haven't we two
Prohibition candidates for Governor, one straddler
candidate and one locai option candidate? Haven't
we a prohibition candidale for Congress in this dis
trict, two anti-Volstead-act candidates and one modi
fication candidate?
Don't you suppose there will be one, two, three,
five and perhaps 10 per cent candidates for the Leg
islature in your town and others? We say there will
be. .
If you'rc satisfied with this sort of thing, don't
vote for Agan. Vote fòr one of his opponents. But
if you believe that 155 meh violated their oaths of
oflice when they voted away our constitulional
rights, our personal liberty and our right to be
heard on this and every other issue, vote for Fank
heard on this and every other issue, vote for Frank
He will voice your protest and make you a good
governor.
