The decision OF Hon. J. A. DeBoer not
to stand for election as city representative
Of Montpelier is matter OF regret. He
had been prominently mentioned for the
speskership OF the next House; indeed,
his election to that place seemed practi-
cally assured. AS member of the legis-
lsture in any capacity, Mr.. DeBoer would
be a pillar Of strength. From the general
acquieseence with which he had been re-
garded as certain to represent Montpelier,
it is something Of surprise to learn that,
after all, he won't run. We do not know
the reasons which control him in his de-
cision, but doubtless the pressure Of bust
ness as head Of the National Life counts
most. Mr.. DeBoer is Of a very independ-
emit mold Of thought and while willing to
serve the public 50 far IS he can be il
never anxious for place or office, and
never seeks prefsrment.
