q M Barber for Governor?

material honors. Those protesting to have
had peep into the inside of affairs poiti-
cal claim that many of the leaders through
ont the state have not relinquished the
hope that O. NJ Barber of Bennington may
vet consent to enter the field against Dr.
Mead. Mr.. Fleetwood and the rest
man who is handy with figures and
claims to have some insight into conditions
prevailing in different part, OF the state
tavs that in the event of Mr. Barber en-
tering the field the other candidates may as
well concede Windham county, the place OF
Mr. BARRIERS birth, to him. 1t is said that
he would have a strong following in Wind,
sor county and in Washington county and
