Lamoille county, and so far as known

The withdrawal of Roger w. HUI
burd, of Hyde Park, from the canvass
for the nomination for secretary of
state leaves the field practically clear
for Hon. F. G. Fleetwood of Morris
vile, who is as yet the only avowed
aspirant for the office.
While the two men are of sterling
worth and character and ably quail
fed to fill the position, it has been
quite evident for some time that one
of them must withdraw from the con-
test should the nomination come this
way.
The reason of Mr.. Hulburd's with
drawal is that he prefers business to
politics and to which he wishes to
give his undivided attention. He
will unite Lamoille county in its sup
port of Mr.. Fleetwood.
Mr.. Fleetwood is one of Lamoille
2ounty's most promising lawyers and
an energetic and loyal supporter of
the Republican party. Should he sue
,eed in being nominated and elected
to the position which he now aspires,
ne would do honor to the office, and
4 worthy successor to the men who |
nave so honorably discharged the
1uties of the office. -Cambridee |
