ocrats carrying every State except Maine and Ver

UP AND DOWN WITH THE
Uhe Avenue tiddo.
I Jim Farley emerges as the only real prophet.
IA week before the election, he said the Repub
licans might carry Maine and Vermont. The ex
perts hooted. But Jim was right. And then to
show how good he is at figures, on the night before
the election he said over the radio that Roosevelt
would get 25 million votes. Tonight he has 24 and
they are still coming in.
As for the poor Literary Digest, we can all
say We Told You So. They were honest in their
poll. But they were not reaching the folks. They
gave Roosevelt the solid South and Landon every
thing else. They must r evise their mailing list
and try to make a comeback hut we are afraid it
will be a tough pull. Poor political prognosticating
is an illness which may linger with them.
And the best thing since the campaign has
been the changing of that old saw, “As Maine goes,
so goes the Nation.” The laugh of the day is, “As
Maine goes, so goes Vermont.”

men and girls desiring employ
ment may call at the Town Hall
on the above given dates and give
their names and other information
desired.
It is expected that applicants
for these jobs will register from
adjoining towns and communities.

under the direction of D. W. Sei
fert, J. J. Willey and T. J. McKim,
representing the civic organiza
tions of the town and community.
