The Bennington Banner edition dated Friday September 18 1964 from Vermont records its daily publication by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street Bennington.
Editorial notes that two years after helping elect a Democrat, the Vermont Independent Party endorses the GOP candidate Ralph Foote. VIP leaders Crispe and Buckley, once GOP rivals, now back Foote while backing Crispe for lieutenant governor to potentially throw the race to the General Assembly. The piece cites past reapportionment tensions and Buckley’s federal suit, with Crispe as his attorney.
The piece argues the VIPs backing Foote reflects voter discontent and independent crossovers. It notes the curious year’s realignments including a Democrat and GOP tensions, with Foote signaling support for the GOP ticket two months post nominating convention.
A Manchester Guardian overview notes Pravda claims drinking is solved by communism but cites Soviet accounts showing alcohol abuse persists. It highlights Khrushchev urging action against drunkards and describes a rest home scene where vodka drew intelligentsia residents, challenging the propaganda of a “beautiful life.”
National affairs highlight Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina leaving the Democratic Party to back Barry Goldwater. He warns of a Democratic drift toward socialism, calls for constitutional fidelity, and acknowledges political risk to his reelection. Both parties face upheaval as 1964 campaigns unfold.
The piece contrasts lofty quotes by Anouilh and Reston with a regional snapshot of New Hampshire. It notes the state’s wooded expanse and its notable industrial labor participation, suggesting the state mirrors broad American experience.
In a quiet August morning at the Southern Vermont Art Center grounds, a blue jay astonishes the observer by singing like a warbler from an apple tree. The narrator notes critics’ harsh views on jay song but finds the bird’s melody convincing despite expert opinions and Twain’s mock praise.
A Senate view urges serious national debate on reapportionment after Supreme Court rulings. It supports a two year delay and a possible Dirksen rider compromise while warning against halting federal court authority over state legislatures. The piece stresses constitutional balance and legal remedies for malapportioned legislatures.
A showman skeptical of dog acts agrees to a audition. A dog plays Chopin on piano and directs the orchestra with his tail, signs a 2500 weekly deal, and captivates audiences before a dramatic exit as rivals pull him off stage. His agent quips the owner wants him to be a doctor.
