in the belief that his selection at this
time-would be for the best interests of
the state, as he would certainly be
able to do his share in maintaining
the enviable position Vermont occu-
pies in the nations councils.
Mr.. Plumley has never been identi-
fled with anything bordering on
ring" politics. lie has always been
a sturdy supporter of Republican prin-
ciples and has given freely of his time
and ability in maintaining the stand
ard of his party. In public capacities
requiring tact and ability he has al
ways met the expectations of his sup
porters and his party.
He is a Sclf-made man and one of
the kind who succeeds in whatever he
undertakes. Altogether it is believed
that Mr.. Plumley Is the man best
qualified to represent Vermont from
the second congressional district this
year.
Mr.. Plumley's supporters are maxi
ing no further claims at this time,
than to say that he will have the cor
dial and united support of his home
county and a majority following from
all the counties in which there are no
resident candidates.
1t is believed that his clean, aggres-
sive. though modest canvass, is daily
gaining him support and that he will
be the choice of the convention at
White River Junction, June &c.

W. F. M orse for Senator.

THE TELEGRAM is pleased today to
announce the candidacy of Walter f.
Morse of this city for county senator.
After his name was mentioned by this
paper, short time since, he has re-
ceived so many voluntary proffers of
support from influential Republicans
in the different towns in the county
that he has consented to become a
candidate. That he is in every way
worthy of the honor and well qualified
to perform the duties of that Office
acceptably goes without saying. No
better man can be named for the posi-
ton. If he receives the cordial sup
port of this city and town, which he
has a right to expect and of which he
is deserving, Barre can, we believe,
secure one of the county senators.
With Judge Stanton Of RoXbury and
Walter f.. Morse of Barre, the inter-
ests of this county would be we'll
looked after in the Senate.
Both these gentlemen, Of course,
favor the candidacy of Hon. William
p. Dillingham; for United States Sem
ator.

any more than he does the Newport
paper. He came all the way from
Washington ON purpose to attend
Newport S annual meeting in order to
protect his electric lighting business.
lie owns and operates an electric
light plant there, but many of the
village authorities, considering they
were paying more for lighting than
other towns of the same size, had an
article IN the village meeting warning
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of having
the corporation own an electric pow
err plant. This action has brought
forth certain acccsSiOnS from Prouty
and shows that even his own towns
people have not all sold themselves
body and soul to 1.-THE only man of
national stature and his senatorial
boomlet. -Lyndonyillc Journal.
