Good Work. st. Iohnsbury people
have reason to be proud OF the work
done by their representative in the last
legislature. Mr.. Bates was one of the
recognized leaders in the House and his
influence was always felt when advocat-
ing or opposing measure. On every
important question that came before the
House "the gentleman from St. Johns
bury" was heard from and every time he
rose to speak he did his town credit. st.
Johnsbury, rs one OF the leading towns
of the state, OF course likes to associate
with big company, and it is feather in
her cap that her representative at Mont
pelier was able to keep her in the front
and display her importance. letter
recently received by a prominent business
man i'll this town from Rev. Mr.. Currier,
the chaplain Of the House of Representa-
tives, speaks Of the pleasure he had Of
making Mr.. Bates acquaintance, of the
excellent work he did, especially of the
interest he manifested in all matters
tending to strengthen the prohibltory
laws of our state. To the spectator in
the gallery Mr.. Bates was quickly sig.
nailed out as one of the most impressive
men in the House and it did not require
a second look to convince one that he
was leader. AS a member of the inves-
tigating committee in the Waterbury
asylum case his work was most thor
oughly and efficiently done This was
the most important investigating case
that has been tried in Vermont in long
time and an appointment on this com
mittee wasa recognition of unusual abili-
ties. Mr.. Bates has well fulfilled the
promise made to the people OF St. Johns
bury on the evening OF September 8, and
has won the congratulations and thanks
Of all for the excellent work done in so
ably representing the town in the session
OF the legislature just closed.
