And the Political Broezes still whisper
Through tho Southern Part of tho
State.
To the Editor Of the Free Press;
The governor question has been reegated
to the rear for time until the candidates
for delegates to the district conventions can
be selected. Hon. Levant NJ Read has
been suggested and no better could be
found. His name will be brought before
the convention unless other causes deter
mine the republicans of this town to do
differently. He would make an ideal man
to go to Minneapolis. That is all Rocking
ham wants in that direction.
Springfield is not so easily satisfied, how
ever. She thinks Rockingham oughtn't to
grasp everything and therefore reaches
forth for place herself, and. as a caudi-
date proposes Hon. II. NJ. Arms Spring

Brattleboro as usual has any quantity of
candidates and one Of them them is Col.

Montpelier the sems day. or those there

The call to Rockingham voters will be
issued this week. This town with popula-
tion Of 4500 has only six delegates, simply
because the voters did not get out to the
last election. Efforts will be made to mus

With reference to Mr.. Atkins's visit, the
story told in these columns before came
straight from a democrat OF the democrats
and was not told for publication especially
1t was told for the truth, however, and so
printed. Mr. Atkins denies it, poor malign
ed man. However, there is some truth in
it, and Mr.. Atkins knows what it is. The
Seer doesn't, having only tue word of the
democart and Mr. Atkins. You are at lib
erty to choose between the two.
But visit to sister would naturally re-
quire that MIR. Atkins should be driven
| about town by the most prominent democrat
| of Bellows Falls. 1t would naturally require
that they should have Sunday conferences
after church, and numerous other things
ought to occur to make visit to u sister
perfectly enjoyable Then, too, it would be
perfectly natural for the democrat aforesaid
to say that he thought Montpelier was the

cisely the same reasons Mr.. Atkins mentions
in his double barrelIed editorial so many
important things can be crowded into a
friendly visit if one only has time and OPP
portunity and inclination.
Then 1t was SO wonderfully fortunate that

Windsor county at the same time the demo
