was missing, aud Martin Chttenden was e
lected governor by majority of one vote
receiving L. votes to Ill for Jonas Ga
lusha.
His administration was period of more
excitement and alarm than any other in the
history of the state, consequent on the wal
then existing between the United States and
Great Britain.
In 1913. when it was almost momentaril,
expected that the enemy would make de-
scent from Canada, and portion of our mil
tia had been ordered by the United States
authorities to the defense of the frontiers of
New York and were actually engaged in that
state, Governor Chittenden issued his procla.
nation commanding them instantly to return
Ito the respective places of their usual resi-
dences' within this state, and hold the nse!v-
es ready to march at moments notice to
the defense OF the frontiers of their own
state. And again in September. 1914. when
it was ascertained that the British feet was
coming d 'wn Lake Champlain. General Ma.
comb, the commander of the United States
forces at Plattsburg, made requisiton on
Governor Chlttenden for the immediate pre-
sence and aid of the militia of Vermont at
that place. He refused compliance. assign
ing as his reason, which was also his reason
assigned in his former proclamation, that bv
so doing it would leave the frontier of Yer
mont utterly detcnseless, and that it was un-
certain where the enemy would make an at
tack, and that under these circumstances his
duty to his own state required him TO keep
the whole military force of Vermont in read
mess to defend her own citizens and her own
soil.
These acts of the governor. though now
generally considered right, under the peculiar
circumstances of the case. were handled with
much severity by his political opponents. and
were the means of finally overthrowing his
administration.
He held the office Of governor two wears.
and at the expiration thereof he returned to
his farm
In addition to his political offices. he was a
member OF the corporation of the University
OF Vermont from 1902 to lSl>. being during
the two Years that he was governor, ex otticio

G 'vernor Chittenden, after having accu,nu-
lated large property, died at his residence
