Colonel George w. Hooker put in nomina-
ton Colonel Levi X. Fuller OF Brattleboro.
One OF his points was that Colonel Fuller
would have been nominated for this Office
four years ago had it not been for the adj
vance guard of the Rev. Mr. Burchard
Another point was that If Colonel Fuller
was nominated he would not consider that
he thereby inherited a right to the governor
ship and would not be a candidate two
years hence.
The nomination of Colonel Fuller was
seconded by Hon. F. E. Woodbridge, s. M.
