Husband May Run.

Walter w. Husband of St. Johnsbury
may decide to try conclusions with
Col. Porter II. Dale, John w Gordon
and all the dark horses in the second
district congressional race If his
many friends through the district who
are urging him to become a candidate
to succeed Congressman Plumley, are
successful in prevailing upon him,
there will be some real live young
blood injected into what up to date has
been a decidedly lfeless canvass for
this important office. Mr.. Husband is
a young man of good judgment. Of sew
eral years valuable experience in
Washington, we'll thought of and re-
spected by all who know him and his
circle of acquaintance is a wide one
If elected he would be an emlnently
practical, painstaking representative
We hope he will decide to be a candi-
date.-St. j ohnsbury Republican.
Is Husband Republican?
The st. Johnsbury Republican an
nounces that Walter w. Husband may
try conclusions with Porter H. Dale,
John w. Gordon and all dark horses in
the second congressional district race.
Mr.. Husband possesses one important
qualification that cannot be claimed for
any other candidate-he has already
had IL years of experience in Washing
ton life. He went to the capital as pri.
vate secretary to Senator Dillingham;,
later was made secretary to the nation
al immigration commission, and filled
this important positi ton in way which
won high praise from the representa-
tiveS and senators composing the COM
mission, and other officials in Washing
ton. After the commission finished its
work he was sent abroad by the de-
partment of labor on immigration
work. If Caledonia county will give
Mr.. Husband solid support he will be
strong candidate for the Republican
nomination.-B Reformer.

In a conversation with the News Mr.
Freeman said: 1.-The gravel and dir
roads of Vermont are giving automo
bile tourists the very best satisfaction
Tourists like these roads, and the tires
like them, too, for they are much
easier on this important part of the
machine than are the stone roads
The great difficulty with stone roads i.
their immense cost of maintenance
AS consequence many of the stone
roads in other larger and more wealth,
states are not kept up. Nothing
