The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, August 2, 1889 More Genuine Vermonters Wanted 8/2/1889 [From the Northfield NEWS] A Vermonter writes from South Dakota saying that he thinks if he was here, he would keep Vermonters at home. Well, as Frank PIXLEY says about the Jews, there are Vermonters and Vermonters. Some we do not care to have kept at home. The West, or Mexico, or Africa, would suffer by their presence. Let them "slide out" for their country's good. There is another class of Vermonters which are preferable unto the state in which they were born. They made excellent citizens in the newer states of the West. They gave Vermont a reputation it cannot afford to lose. WE do not want any kept in Vermont who are anxious to try their fortunes elsewhere. What we do want is more Vermonters of the genuine stuff, so that we can fill our own borders and all empty space besides. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
