about the State House. At present, as
far as is known there is only one candi-
date for the Office and that is Colonel
Herbert 7, johnson, who has been in
charge of the military affairs of the state
most of the time since the United States
entered the war and who did not, until
the latter part of the week, consent to
| the pressure of his friends, state officials
and those who know the work he has
| done, to allow his name to be suggested
as candidate Colonel johnson has
been in the military department of the
state for 80 years, some % of which he
has been commissioned officer of the
militia. When the lst Vermont regiment
was called into service in the war with
! Spain, Mr. johnson was then the young.
est captain in the regiment and was
commanding Company g at Bradford.
He went with his company through the
war, bringing home with him every man
who left the state, not one being dis
charged in any way and none dying while
| in service, a record which no other cap
| tain enjoyed. After the war was over he
continued in the military department,
earning promotions through the three
grades as major, lieutenant colonel and
colonel of the regiment, which office he
! held until his interests in Bradford would
not permit him to give the time to it
and then he relinquished the office, but
only for q short time, for when the Yer.
mont regiment was again called into
service in 1917 he was named by Gov
H. F. Graham as the colonel of the Yer
mont Volunteer militia, which rank he
now holds and he has brought the stand
ard of the regiment nearly to that of the
efficiency of the LIST Vermont regiment.
