Candidacy
Bennington, Vt, March 8, 1921.

Bennington, VT, March 8, 1921.
To the Editor of The Evening Banner
Dear Sir wish to call attention to the fact that
am candidate for trustee from the second ward in the
coming village election
The street problem of Bennington is very serious
one While permanent street construction is being made
the condition of many of the streets is steadily growing
worse Repair work is being neglected or proving value
less.
This condition is neither necessary advisable
While permanent construction should continue effective
repair work could be done,
All my life | have had experience in road building
and have made considerable study of the question Par
ticuary at this time the Village is interested in the con-
strucon to lie done along the line of the electric railroad
While not touching legal questions, would have consid
cradle knowledge of the practical side of that matter to
know the right method that sort of work my regular
line Not being connected with any concern or interest
involved in street matters feel could be of service to
the Village
There has been rumor that matter of the police
department is my purpose in running. This is not true.
My interest and purpose is to get better streets and hope
that all those who feel qualified for the position will
vote for me.
Yours truly

FREDDIE BOORDE
WILL FIGHT KELLY
ON NEXT MONDAY
Fight Between Two Local
Boys Should Be Classic
Bout

On Monday night. November II. at
the B. A. C.. Freddie Boorde will
meet Battling Kelly in a 1o-round
hstio duel which should be one of
the best bouts that has been staged
before Birmingham fans. Both Kelly
and Boorde. as every ono knows, are
fast, good fighters, and of late both
men have been going at top speed
tearing up most everything that they
could get in the ring with.
Kelly proved several weeks ago
that he still has his old-time boxing
cunning and his old corkscrew left
when he decisively beat Dixie Allen
in the first fight that Dixie has lost
before a Birmingham audience. A
few days after this affair Kelly got
draw with Battling Budd. the At
lanta slugger. In getting a draw
with Budd the Battler not only had
to overcome a good advantage in
weight. but he also had to get this
best of one of the hardest hitting
men in the south. Since the tight
with Budd and Allen, Kelly has
taken more interest in the game than
ever before, and has not let UP train
ing since that time, SO he should
be in the best of shape when he goes
after the lighting Boorde.
Many are inclined to believe that
owing to his advantage in weight
and his cleverness that Kelly will
have things all his own way, even
though he would receive stiff fight
from Boorde. However. Boorde has
just as good a chance of coping the
fight as Kelly has, for he is every bit
as clever as the Battler and moves
with Just as much, IL not more speed.
One of Boordes biggest assets in this
fight will be his trusty wallop which
he packs in both mits in equal guam
titles. Freddie is touted as having
Just about the hardest wailop of any
man his size in the south, and in
this department he should have the
advantage over Kelly. Kelly has
fairly good punch, but 1t can hardly
be rated on a par with that of
Boorde.
