DEBoER APPROACHED.
Says He Would Represent Montpelier
il the City Wants Him.

il the City Wants Him.
When asked yesterday if he would
run for city representative from Mont.
pelier, Joseph A. DeBoer stated that
while he is in no way seeker for the
Office, if the Republicans OF Montpelier
want him to represent them in the next
legislature, he should consider it dis
tinguished honor, and if the call came
TO him he should feel it his duty, as q
good citizen, to accept. This practically
settles the question 10 who win rep.
resent this city. Any other Republican
would be foolish TO run against MIR. De-
Boer, and as the labor element in the
city is anxious for him to represent the
community this fall, no other candidate
from any party could hope to win out
at the polls. II Mr.. Del3oer presses the
button, the Republicans Of Montpelier
will gladly do the rest.

The second indictment relates to the alleged deal
with George N Best, of Cedar Hill, OF Albany
County, which said TO have been made on
June l. 1906. Best, it is said controlled almost the

the effect that he would sell such output excu-
stvely to the American Ice Company.
