A Future Governor. Possibly.

The death of John L. Bacon of White
River Junction comes as a great shock to
bis scores of friends throughout the state.
There was no man in Vermont more liked
by those who knew him. He was a keen
business man, a public spirited and loyal
citizen of Vermont and as state treasurer
for eight years and in other public places
he justified the trust that had been placed
in him. He was undoubtedly the most
influential member of the late legislature
and was considered by many the likeliest
candidate for governor when it should go
again to the east side. At his age-47-
there was reason to hope that he might be
spared for many years Of active life and
public service and 1t is hard to realize
that he is no more. bennington Banner.

White River Junction removes one Of the
best known Of the younger figures in the
official and political life OF Vermont and
one who, IL We mistake not, will be great
ly missed in the financial and industrial
life OF his immediate community. He
had great natural aptitude for admins
trative work, which brought him
through various preliminary steps to the
responsible position OF state treasurer, an
office which he filed for eight years and
then voluntarily relinouished to assume
the duties Of the presidency Of the Ma
tionaI Bank of White River. He was
capable official and an obliging servant Of
the people. Moreover, he brought into
his official life a geniality of nature
which made great many friends, and
warm ones at that, to whom the news of
his unexpected demise comes as great
shock. In his immediate locale be was a
