nouncement of His Candidacy.
Barton, VT. May 4 8, 1912.
Editor of CaIedonian
desire through your paper to
announce my candidacy for represen-
tative to CongTess from the Second
District
Four years ago Mr. Plumley was
nominated and elected to Congress
because it was believed that he
would act Independently of the re-
dictionary element which then con-
trolled legislation and would work
along progressive lines.
A great many voters believe that
he has not lived up to our expecta-
tions; that on many important ques-
lions between the standpatters and
.progressives he has voted with the
element led by Cannon, Payne, Dali
zell and others, or has failed to
vote, and that in general he has taxi
en- no aggressive position on legis-
lation, and it is by reason Of their
request and assurances of support
that I have decided to become a can
didate against Mr.. Plumley.
If nominated, and elected l shall
support those measures which are in
the line of progress and which make
for the betterment of social and po-
litical conditions throughout the
country I shall devote myself ear
nestly and aggressively to the well
fare and interests of my constitu-
ents and to the moral upbuilding
and material development of my
state.
Yours truly,
