four years ago the very sanie proposition of town manage
ment was advocated and a rommittee made an investigation.
Since that time the legislature has seen the need of aidinjr
towns in the matter of liavinjf town manaers and has passed
legislativi! by which this may be accomplished by will of the
voters.
We believe there is a strong- sentinient in St. Johnsbury
today for a change in our lorm oi oovernment and it is sup
ported by tlie sober-minded, solid citizens, who have the best
interests of the town at heart.
While it is a diappointment that more of our citizens
are not willing to air their views more freely in our paper,
there is no mjstaking the solid l)ackin? that the paper is re-
ceiving in its eil'orts to se-cure a better forni of government i
for St. Johnsbury.
Don't place the blame for past shortcomngs in villane
and town management upon town off'icials. They have done ;
the best they could under an antequated system. It is the
fault of the voters and tax payers in not providing an up-to- i
date ijvstem where the real respoiisibility lies. At the basis
of ali poorlv managed towns is an apathetic public wilìing to
join the armv of "knock'ers" but slow to ret behind a citizen
as public spiiited as Mr. George W. Caldbeck, who is willing:
to give of his time and experience to lead the town iato tlie
light of crood government.
We are operatine under liy-laMs that would do credit to j
N'ewark Street but which are a disgrace to St. Johnsbury.!
i.et's ali pulì together and get a modem pian of town govern-;
ment and some modern liy-iaws.

Iear Editor:
If I may, I would like to say
that in 4(1 years of what you may
cali Vagabondasse, I have worked
for -ome of the finest men in The
New England States and Cali
fornia but I nevcr met a man I
ad ni irei! more than I do George j ment,
Caldbeck and have wondered why j .
iie was never forced into polities,
and into otrice. The explanation
w ithout doubt is .ecau.-e he is the
laboring man's friend. You never
could force George Caldbeck into
being a Ring l'olitician, or a
Grafter. He would do what he
thought best for the public gooil
regardle.-s of "The Ring". Mr.
Caldbeck would not onlv mak a
good Trustee, but would be "The
Man" for Town Manager none
better, a- he has the Idea, and the
Ability. With Mr. Caldbeck in har
ness, and the majority vote be
hind him, St. .lohn.-hury would
come into her own once more and
be the banner town of the State.
Very T'uly Yours,
