The foreign secretary replied that
he was unaware that NJ Sazanoff

added. "the statement have seen

events on the Russo-Turkish frontier
would bring Russia nearer realization

most cherished national aspirations
The attitude of Great Britain in the

WILLING TO WITHDRAW
Deputy Gardner Will not Run
Against Sheriff Godfrey.

Editor of the Banner: as recent
" nominated al the Republican cauc.
us. which ! did not attend, for the Of
flee of First Constable, without my
knowledge or consent | knew OF no
good reason for not nominating Mr..
Godfrey. The same evening, after
the caucus ! talked with him and he
told me he cared nothing about the OF
fee We seemed to understand each
other all right and therefore | did not
withdraw my name and paid hardly
any attention TO the matter. The Of
flee is not an important one. Either
Mr.. Godfrey, as sheriff, or ! as one of
his deputies, can do nearly everything
a First Constable can. except preside
at general elections, and there will be
no general election this year. When,
according to law. the time fo- with
drawing from the ticket had passed,
learned for the first time that stickers
bearing Mr.. Godfrey's name were be-
ing circulated by certain men who
urged that these stickers be pasted
into the ballot at the town election
and Mr. Godfrey be elected First Cons
table. | am certain that this was
done without his knowledge or con.
sent He and are on the best Of
terms, and there is no misunderstood
ing between us and no third persons
can create one, and therefore. ana
since This situation has arisen do
not want to be candidate against
Mr. Godfrey and ! withdraw in mis-
favor and urge his election.
Yours truly,

Proposed Changes Estimated to Cost
About $4,000.

Montpelier, Feb 26.-Architect w.
C. Bull of Bennington and County
Judge II. ~ Shaw OF Manchester
were here today in consultation with
the county members relative to re-
pairs on the county buildings and the
question of new Jail
Mr. Bull gave figures showing that
it would cost $l1 900 to build a new
jail building and $4,000 more to put
the 20 steel cells needed. An avail
able site in Bennington would cost
$4,000 including two houses one of
which could be used as iailors resi-
dence while the other could be rent
ed
Mr.. Bull also estimated that it
would cost $4,000 to repair the court
house in Bennington and $4,000 Tor
the one in Manchester, This would
make the total cost to the county OF
the whole plan 1000.
