WEEKS SEEKS TO
Be LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR
Speaker Announces Candidacy for
Second Place
RIS PLATFORM IS BRIEF
Judge Weeks is Resident Of Middle
bury and Has Record for Faithful
Work.
H|s PLATFORM is BRIEF

Middlebury, March 30.--The second
announcement of candidacy for a
state office on the republican ticket
next fall is made by Judge John e.
Weeks of this town, who aspires to
the lieutenant governorship. Judge
Weeks, who has been chairman of the
penal board for number of years, is
speaker of the House of Representa-
tiyes.
Judge Weeks, who is native Of
Salisbury, located in Middlebury in
1896. Though his business has been
largely in farming and mercantile
lines he has devoted himself to the
public service much OF the time since
he was elected member of the Gen
eral Assembly in 1883. He was a mem
Der of the Senate in 1896 and was re-
turned in 1912 to the lower branch of
the Assembly.
In 1S92-94 he was assistant Judge of
Addison county and in 1898 was ap-
pointed trustee of the Vermont In
dustrial school. He was state cattle
commissioner in 1906 and since the
latter year has been chairman of the
penal board. He has held most of the
town and village offices.
In announcing his intention to en-
ter the primaries next September as
candidate for lieutenant governor
Judge Weeks makes the following
statement:
II have been asked by many friends
whether l would be candidate for
lieutenant governor. 1t is perhaps due
to those who have kindly offered me
their support, and also fair to other
possible candidates, that I~should an
nounce at this time that l will be
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for this Office. II am nominated,
shall try to do my part toward a
vigorous and earnest campaign. If l
am elected, I will do what Il can to
secure as prompt dispatch OF legisla-
tive business as is consistent with
thorough consideration and fairness to
avery interest fNH
II believe that the future of Ver-
mont depends not so much upon high
sounding phrases in party platforms
as upon the selection of capable, fair
minded men as legislators and state
officers. | stand for everything that
can be done to assist both the agri-
cultural and manufacturing industries
of the state, for the greatest economy
consistent with efficiency in the
management of state institutions, for
the continuation of the Vermont good
roads policy, for equity in taxation,
or fair labor legislation, and for en-
deavor to inforce more strictly the
laws we have rather than to enact a
large number of new ones.
While am republican, the duties
Of the lieutenant governor are so
largely concerned with state matters
that if receive the nomination /
shall appeal for support to men Of all
parties. and if elected, i willIlattry to
perform the duties of the, office solely
in the interest of Vermont a.

izia, which were lost to the Austrians

In the region of the upper But River
there was moderate artillery firing by
the enemy against positions we recap
tured. A column of the enemy which
was ascending through Valentino Val

by our effective gunfire.
Heavy rains and fog interfered with
artillery work again yesterday in the
upper Isonzo zone. but we demolished
enemy posts at Mrzlivrh and made
direct hit on a trench mortar. Our
grenadiers destroyed an intrenchment
of the enemy in the Seagora section,
compelling the defenders to flee.
A desperate fight on the heights
northwest of Gorizia. which lasted
about forty hours, ended successfully
for us. After intense concentrated
gunfire against our intrenchments at
Grafenberg. which already had been
damaged by storms, the enemy opened
an attack with very important force
on Sunday evening. Our troops Of
fered obstinate resistance and held
back the, masses of the enemy which
were operating against our fanks,
In the centre, after furious ,hand-to-
hand fighting, one of our battalions
retired about 40e yards, taking with it
about thirty prisoners.
