1 not trace OF anything lON VI iHN"H
that has been disclosed. His clean
ness as a man is reflected in his
personal habits and in his converse
ton. He likes fun, enjoys a joke,
but does not play beyond the limit OF
good breeding ever.
As to Fletcher ID. ProetOr's capacity
and training for the goyernorship,
nothing remains TO be desired. His
information concerning the state and
her people among whom be has passed
his whole life is intimate and thor
ough. He knows their needs and Is
dedicated TO the fulflment OF them.
He has perhaps as wide knowledge
in respect to our public service as any
man of his years who ever lived in
the state He has been active and
industrious in town affairs, serving
in many ways the interests Of his
community. 1t has not been beneath
him to labor as road commissioner of
his town, to serve as school director
and in other capacities where he has
acquired knowledge that fits him Tor
higher station. He has represented
his town several times in the House,
his county in the Senate, has served
one term as speaker OF the House,
and always with credit, even distinc-
ton. He needs no further apprentice
ship in office to fit him for the gov
ernorship.
Mr.. Proctor's business capacity is
amply shown by his notable handling
of the Vermont Marble company, of
which he has been the actual head for
quite a term OF years. Under his d.
rection the company has fourished
and extended its business to every
part ofthe known world, carrying the
fame of Vermont marble over the
globe. In recent years the develop
ment has been very fast. The COM
panys relations with its three thou
sand employees have been uniformly
pleasant and harmonious. No strike
or labor trouble of any proportions
has ever disturbed them. The close
feeling that exists between Mr. Proc
tor and his company associates on the
Jne hand and the workmen on the
other explains this. II is said that Mr..
Proctor knows personally every man
n his employ Despite the intrigues
II labor agitators and gross misrepre-
as to wage conditions, the
ylaring fact stands out that the men
ire contented with their lot. They
swear by Fletcher Proctor, not at him.
That Mr.. Proctor has ideas and an
Utility to express them was shown by
lis acceptance speech at the Montpe'-
er convention-an utteranee so clear
md candid, so forceiul and eloquent,
hat even the Clement literary bureau
las let it pretty much alone. The
OF delegates who heard II
vent home enthused by it and enthusi-
lstic for the nominee. As Mr. Proctor
goes about the state meeting leading
and planning the cam
oaign, there comes from every such
meeting a note OF satisfaction in the
seen perhaps thus for the 4
irst time. His manlihess shines forth
n his frank face, rich, honest voice
md warm handclasp. lie makes
friends wherever he goes. II, later, !
he concludes to follow Clement upon
ne stump, we predict that the COM
)arison between the two men, giving
dr. Clement due credit for his worth.
will be none to the detriment OF the
candidate.
All that Fletcher Proctor needs IN
his canvass is to become known to
he people OF Vermont-known not as
he son Of Redfeld Proctor, but as he
eally is.
