ENTERS FIELD FOR
STATES ATTORNEY
William f. Daley of Brattleboro :
Says There Is General Feeling in
Favor of Experienced Man.

Editor of The Reformer:-
For some time past l have been re-
peatedly requested by various citizens,
from all sections Of the county. to
become candidate for the office of
state s attorney. There seems to be
q general feeling that the time has
come when this office should be held
by one of the older and more expert
enced lawyers. The alternating of the
the southern half of the county with
out regard to experience cannot al
ways produce the best results.
Therefore 1 wish to announce through
the columns of your paper that 1 shall
be candidate for the office of state s
attorney for Windham county, on the
Republican ticket, at the September
primaries. If elected to the office
sought, l shall endeavor to faithfully
perform the duties of that Office and
do equal right and justice to all to
the best of my Judgment and ability.
Respectfully yours,
WILLIAM R. DALEY.
