PRESS COMMENTS.
rhe Drift is Towards Col. Fuller.

The DrIft IS towards Col. Fuller.
The drift is towards Col. Fuller,
and this being so we hope his
strength will become so controlling
before the convention, that no other
name will be presented. Col. Fuller
will make a candidate everyway
worthy the full vote of the party.
He is Christian gentleman of good
ability and habits, public spirited,
full OF enterprise and energy, of dig
nified and courteous address, and
will make good executive officer
Newport Express.
Can't be Laughed Down.
AS matter of fact the support al
ready offered him Hon. E. B. Taft |
has made his candidacy a certainty
and placed it on such a foundation
that it cannot be ridiculed or laugh
ed out of sight by any newspaper
paragraph. That the Free Press
should feel called upon to deny, Mr.
Taft fair treatment in this matter in
the interests of a gentleman who has
no connection with Chittenden
county is matter of surprise. While
it may be true that Franklin coun-
ty has not had a lieutenant gov
ernor, the people know that Col.
Powell is just retiring from term
of IA years as state auditor, which
is one of the best paying positions
in the state Burlington Clipper.
