CANDIDACY
More Rumors Sent out from Rut.
land Regarding It.

A Rutland dispatch to the Burling-
ton News says that within the last two
or three days political workers who
are identified with the Clement move
ment have left there to work in various
parts OF the state and all doubts as to
WHETHER or not Percival W. Clement
is to be candidate for the governor
ship has been removed in the minds
of local politicians.
II is still impossible to secure pos
tive statement on the question from
any Of Mr. Clements closest political
associates and it is now thought that
this reticence on the subject is due to
the attitude of James L. Martin of
Bratleboro on the governorship
question. Word has reached here that
Mr. Martin has recently said that he
would not enter the contest unless Mr.
Clement did so, in which event the
district attorney stated that he would
Immediately take of his coat and work
tooth and nail to defeat the Rutland
man.
There seems to be little doubt thst
this is the real attitude of the district
attorney and as he is known to be a
hard and able fighter, it is believed
that Mr. Clements plan is to work
quietly until so close to the time of the
convention tnat Mr. Martin would not
have time enough left to get in any
very effective work,
The sentiment toward Mr. Clement in
the towns of Rutland county is found
by his workers, it is understood, to be
much more favorable than even they
anticipated, and they feel certain
that if Mr. Clement runs he will be
able to capture the delegates from his
own country. Excellent reports are
coming in also from workers and
Clement sympathizers in other parts
of the state.

home on Main st at 2:l5 this after
noon, after an illness of several weeks.
Mr. Winslow was born in Benning-
ton in 1881 and for the greater part of
his 73 years this has been his home.
He learned the tinsmith's and copper
working trade in Troy when he came
to the years of manhood, and then
went to New York where he remained
three years.
Coming back to Bennington he en-
tered the employ of Graves Il Root
and was with them p years. At the
end of that period he entered into
partnership with c. H. Potter. This
partnership was dissolved IA years
ago and Mr. Winslow bought the pro-
perty which he conducted with sue
cess.
AS a business man and citizen Mr.
Winslow has always ranked high he
has earned his success by steady at
tention to business and made the store
one OF the best known stands in this
part of the state.
He leaves wife, two sons, Eben j.
and Charles, and one daughter, Mrs
Frank HoIlister.
