In response to an inquiry concerning
his attitude toward the United States
Senatorship. Hon. Allen NJ Fletcher
made the following statement;
public office should be regarded not
largely as the means of gratifying a
legitimate ambition for political prefer
ment, but chiefly as affording an oppor-
tunity to promote the common good.
public officials should render a sat
isfactory account Of their stewardship
by giving genuine faithful service for
the people as a whole, not for the few.
Vermont is small state, yet its
prestige in the nation has always been
great whenever it has insisted upon do
ing things. The strong and insistent
desire that our little Green Mountain
state shall do things is stirring the
commonwealth today. The election of
d United States Senator from Vermont
approaches and under unusual condi-
tiona.
at is fact which can not be sue
cessiully denied that many citizens
and newspapers are expressing de-
sire for change, though they may not
have FASTENED to accept an invitation
to declare what man they would favor
for election to the Office.
81 have decided to be a candidate for
the Office of Senator from Vermont in
the Senate OF the United States and to
ask the support of the citizens of the
state in the September primaries for
nomination as the republican candidate
for the Office.
Il ann the more ready to take this
step because it will enable me to EN-
pllasze various issues and public poll
cies for which have always stood and
still stand. | am influenced in reach
ng this decision by my belief that such
decision will not meet the approval Of
paid lobbists, big interests or such
newspapers as may sustain them. These
elements have persistently conducted a
campaign Of misrepresentation against

the General Assembly OF 1912. and my

A town or community that doesn't

A careful investigation of the events before and after the fire was discov- cred in the dock office make it ap- parent that the fire started on the wall between the office and rear room near the east end of the big ware house. just back of the stove.
 Fred Martin. the first man to dis cover the blaze, broke in the door md grabbed lantern which was hanging near by. Not finding any thing at hand with which to fight the lire. he commenced to save some Of the contents of the office. Hanging ,n the wall near by was fire eN- .lnguisher which was obscured by smoke. All of the dock records in the office were destroyed.
 Extra watchmen were on the job It the railroad warehouses and other points in town, and a close watch was kept on stoves and fires to prevent urther loss from fire.
 There were rumors about town dur ng tho time the fire was burning that .here were suspicious circumstances connected with its origin. but thor 1ugh investigation by Deputy U. S.
