Editorial argues Nixon portrays Hubert H. Humphrey as dangerously close to the presidency, but notes Humphrey, a 16-year Senate veteran and majority whip, has backed civil rights, nuclear test ban, urban renewal, Peace Corps, wilderness, elder medical care, tax cuts, and education aid, often championing actions before leaders urged them.
The Wall Street Journal reports President Johnson may expand Vice President Hubert Humphrey s role after next week s Democratic win. Johnson would assign Humphrey a policy shaping portfolio on education welfare agriculture civil rights and natural resources and task him with ceremonial duties and overseas travel. The plan risks shifting power away from the less known Rep William E Miller while Humphrey s strong legislative background supports the move.
The piece argues that both President Johnson and Senator Goldwater favor tax reductions to sustain growth, challenging the old balanced-budget doctrine. It cites Dillon’s figures showing the 1964 tax cut spurring growth, boosting federal revenues and narrowing the deficit, with expectations for further gains in 1966 and beyond.
A Brattleboro Reformer editorial defends Gov. Philip H Hoff of Vermont against Republican attacks questioning his qualifications. It denounces smear tactics as harmful to representative government, argues Hoff has served all voters, and condemns linking state issues to federal postal appointment questions. The piece cites other editorials and ends with aphorisms from unrelated papers.
Readers critique Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey, warning of surrendering sovereignty to the International Court of Justice and contrasting voting records with Goldwater. Letters from Mrs. Clifford B Harwood, Mrs. Kenalene J Collins, Fred C Wardlaw, J L Raleigh, and Mrs. Clare M O'Shea defend candidates and urge voters to consider foreign policy, education funding, and community leadership.
An old column shares practical hunting etiquette for land access and safety. It urges hunters to announce themselves to landowners, avoid blocking gates, clean up litter, and avoid firing at buildings or people. It also reviews the Winchester Western Ammunition Handbook and notes its availability, price, and usefulness for ballistics and ammunition data.
Pundits from Rutland, St Johnsbury, Burlington and Montpelier forecast Vermont results in the presidential and gubernatorial races. Predictions span Johnson or Goldwater in the presidency and Hoff or Foote in the governorship with narrow margins, ticket splits, and cautious leanings amid regional sentiment. Some observers cite disaffection, others flag campaign tactics and local post office issues as influential factors.
