BRATTLEBoRo, July 2, 1900.
My dear sir;-From publications which
have recently been made in some of the
state newspapers there seems to be dis
position to overlook the fact that you
are in any sense candidate for election
in the canvass for the United States SEN
atorship which is now before us. In this
canvass the Phoenix unreserveGly sup
ports ex-Gov. Dillingham;, but it has been
the policy Of the paper to state fairly the
claims of the other candidates, giving
the people chance to form their own
judgment. shall therefore be glad to
have from you any statement which you
may wish to make of your position as
the canvass now stands, or in view of
any contingency that may arise, feeling as
l do that your standing before the state
OF Vermont, and your services already
rendered in the Senate, entitle you at
least to this consideration.

ton of important measures. The fnan-

eminent of Hawaii, of Porto Rico, and of
