Francisco's loss by earthquake and
fire as 100000, 200, and asserting
that it will reach $190,000,O00, in

settle all claims on that basis. This

Col. Mansur not a Candidate.

The Free Press is in receipt OF the
folloAiug letter from the Hon. Il. NJ.
Mansur Of Newport;
Newport, VI, Nov. 10. 1906.
TO the Editor of the Free Press;
For some time there has been more or
less mention of my name in connection
with the governorship in 1905, many Of
my friends urging me to become can
didate. While recognize that it is
early, the discussion has taken such a
form and the suggestion has come to ne
in SO many ways that feel it is due my
friends that should publicly say that
have not been aud shall not be candi-
date for the gubernatorial nomination
in 1908. Yours truly,
Il. NJ. ManSur
To this letter the Free Press comments
as follows:
The Free Press is in a position to
| know that the announcement that former
Lieut.. -Gov. Mausur will not be candi-
date for the gubernatorial nomination
two years hence will be received with
genuine regret by host of his friends
and admirers throughout the State.
While it is true, as Col. Mansur states,
that it is early to discuss the next gov
ernorship, the fact that as result of our
biennial Legislative system another ses-
! sion of our lawmakers will not be held
in the natural course of events until
after our next governor is elected, serves
invariably to promote the discussion of
guhermatorial politics while the State s
lawmakers are together at Montpelier.
1t is also true that Col. ManSurS name
has been favorahly considered and while
it is too early to state what his chances
might have been, it is entirely within
bounds to say that all will concede he
would have had marked strength as a
candidate, if he had decided to allow the
use of his name. Col. Mansur, who gave
an arm in his country's defence, is a
clean, honorable and upright man, as
well as a public spirited and progressive
citizen, and he has the esteem and re-
spect of Vermonters everywhere.
