The salient point about the frank
ayowal of Frederick O. Fleetwood 81

Of Vermont is the announcement that
he has no barrel which he win open
in the campaign for Tic coveted honor
This, while not entirely new. is extreme

Stanton Of Roxbury announced when he
tried for the Republican nomination re.
Gently, that he was poor man aud that
no money could be looked for from him,
and his honest declaration made friends
for him Throughout the state without
doubt There lad been SO many allega
tions OF the lavish use Of money for
campaign purposes that people were
somewhat nanseated over it and longed
for a candidate without a bar'l" Mr..
Fleetwood isn't poor man by any

Of bis pocketbook
Mr.. Fleetwood IS one Of the best
known OF the younger men Of Vermont,
and while still in his fortietb year has
had fair share Of merited honors. On
graduating from Harvard college and
being admitted to the bar, he located IN
Morrisville and has practised his PROBES

states attorney Of Lamoille county,
town clerk and treasurer presidential
eleetor, and secretary Of state for three
terms, declining to run again in zoos and
making way for Secretary Of state Guy
