Fleetwood for Congress

The ST. Adams Messenger well
says:
''The first district seat in the ma
tional House of Representative is not
going to any candidate by default.
Former Secretary of State Frederick
G. Fleetwood of Morrisville has an
nounced his candidacy and will oppose
State Senator Martin Villas of Bur-
lington in the primaries.
There has always been a some
what close political relationship be-
tween Franklin and Lamoille coun-
ties, and The Messenger has no doubt
it will continue in the present instance
to the end that the Morrisville man
will receive very substantial support
from this section.
"He is deserving of that support.
He has been an active factor in Yer
mont life for great many years
and would go to Washington pos
sessed Of a knowledge of our condi-
tions, wants and needs which would
enable him to act in a truly repre-
sentative capacity.
"In the present instance it is a case
of the place seeking the man rather
than the man seeking the place. Mr..
Fleetwood has been beseeched by
voters throughout the whole district
to come into the race. There has
been a genuine and widespread de-
mand that he enter the lists.
This is the kind of recognition
that counts. 1t means an enthusiasm
for the candidateNthat spells success.
He already is in partnership with
good block of the electorate. AS he
appears before the public this
strength. The Messenger confidently
predicts, will grow to such proper
tions that he will be returned the
party's candidate.
"Mr. Fleetwood does not try to out
line a comprehensive platform. He
says his platform sis the platform Of
the Republican Party" That is suffi-
cient. He does not intend to play
lone hand. He is a party man and
will join with those of his political
belief in making effective in national
legislation the principles of the Re-
publican Party. And when elected ne
will be a credit to Vermont"

The Call for Fleetwood

1t has been said that the primary
has largely destroyed that 7call to
serve" which was one Of the features
of political conditions under the
caucus law, that it has placed on the
candidates themselves the need of
initiating the movement for their
nomination. There may be some
question about this, but even admit
ting it, there seems to be something
very like the spontaneous demand
for Fred G. Fleetwood of Morrisville
to run for Congress in the first dis
trict. His decision to become can
didate would be mighty important
political news.-Rutland Herald.

The withdrawal by Senator Martin
publican nomination for Congress tt
7ucceed Congressman Frank L
Greene, about to be promoted to the
United States Senate, is step taker
for reasons entirely creditable tC
} Senator Villas. His reasons are stated
! in his announcement printed in an
other column. 1t leaves Senator Villas
in good standing with the people Of
the entire district.
Senator Villas withdrawal opens 6
clear field for the Hon. Frederick G
Fleetwood, in the September pri-
maries, and in effect assures his
election in November. 1t follows that
Mr.. Fleetwood can have only the
kindliest feeling toward Senator Villas
under the circumstances.
The place which -ex-Secretary of
State Fleetwood holds in the esteem
of the people of Vermont is well indi-
Gated by the following editorial
paragraph in the Palladium and
News of Orleans county:
Frederick G, Fleetwood Of Nor
risville in the House of Representa-
tiyes from the first district of Yer
mont to succeed Frank L. Greene
would be pleasing to many Vermont
ers of the second district. Here's
hoping Fleetwood goes out after the
place"
Various other newspapers are also
printing handsome words concerning
Mr.. Fleetwood and his candidacy is
arousing genuine enthusiasm.-tree

Fleetwood for Congress
The many friends of Frederick G..
Fleetwood of Morrisville will be glad
to learn that he has announced his
intention to run for Congress and
from the widespread feeling through
out the state in the matter, it is evil
dent that Mr.. Fleetwood will not only
make strong candidate, but that,
barring accidents, he has an excel
lent chance of filling the place to be
made vacant by Frank L. Greene.
Mr.. Fleetwood's platform is sim
ply the platform of the Republican
Party, and, as he says, "of its great
leader, President Harding" In the
simplicity of this platform lies great
strength and Mr. Fleetwood shows
undeniable sagacity in following those
principles which have already done
so much toward bringing the country
back to normally after the Wilson
regime.
Mr.. Fleetwood's record of public
service is too well known to need
much recounting. As secretary of
state he was an efficient public ser
want and one of the most popular
men at Montpelier. 1t cannot be
questioned that his work was of such
a character as to warrant a bigger
job and in seeking a seat in Congress
he will undoubtedly have the support
of thousands of citizens of Vermont.
He is the type of public official OF
which we need more in Washington
and his presence in the halls of Con-
gress as a representative of the
Green Mountain State would be
assurance that Vermont and its inter-
ests would be looked after WE'LL

winner over State Senator Villas OF
Burlington and somebody, we forget
his name, from Fair Haven. Mr.
Fleetwood has fine standing as q
man and with abundant public exper-
fence should make good record in
the position for which he is now
headed. If under the expected reap

the House, Mr.. Fleetwood would
yield the place with as few heart
burnings as anybody likely to be
elected.-Randolph Herald.

Language of the Horsemen

The Middlebury Register lapses
into the race track vernacular in sum-
ming up the first district congress
sional situation as follows: "He
(Fleetwood) is the best bet thus far
among those who have expressed
serious desires for the votes of the
west-siders." Perhaps that sentiment
sizes up the concensus of opinion
over on the west side as succinctly as
a parson could put it in some other
language. -l...gr- =

was raised, and search was made for
 the runaways in all directions, but
 their hiding-place was protected by
 some of the anti-slavery believers of the town. Rev. Robbins, that tower
 of strength in the ecclesiastical circles of his day, was firm believer in the rights of slavery and informed MT. Thompson of the whereabouts of his slaves. After much controversy over this matter, Rev. Thompson agreed to free the father and mother provided he could have the boys and sell them as slaves until they reached the age of 25 years to some one whom their parents might select Under the laws of 1784 this was age limit under which they could be held as slaves. MT. Thompson then would go back to old Virginia to more con- genial fields. This was done and James and his brother were sold for ore hundred pounds per head, by a minister of the gospel. in Connect. cut, "the land of steady habits" MT. Thompson wishing to punish James at one time, for slight lisobedence, shut him up in the brick oven con- nected with his fireplace, evidently to bake out some of his iniquity. James Mars, after obtaining his freedom was a well-known character of Nor folk for many years, and whom I have seen and talked with at my fathers home, many times in my boyhood days. As I nave just men toned, Rev. Robbins, that strcng virile leader of the thought of his day, was a firm believer in slavery, while his illustrous successor, Rev. Dr. Joseph Eldredge, was as strong a believer in anti-slavery and one Sunday he preached two powerful sermons to prove that ''the Bible does not saction slavery"

 The property remained in posses sion of the Nine Partners, N. Y. Quakers until the year 1875, when it was conveyed by deed to Francis Donalds, who, in 1876, had the old meeting-house taken down and used the framework to help in building a horsebarn. The grounds were cleared of the pines and cultivated.
 It might be interesting to know, that in it's last days, the old meeting house was again a place for worship the Episcopalians of Canaan asked permission of few Quakers who re- mained, to hold mission services there on Sunday afternoons, one summer, their request was granted. Rev. Elisha Whittlesey, at that time rec tor of Christ Church, Canaan, con- ducted the services.

Thompson of Canaan, who married Virginian wife, and brought her and her southern slaves to Litchfield county soon found that in Connecticut she did not have the absolute control over her chattels that she was accustomed to in the old dominion, neither could she punish them with the impunity she could in the south land. One of her female servants married Connecticut slave belonging to her husband by the name. of Mars. Several children were born to them, among whom was son, James. He was one of the in teresting characters of Norfolk for many years.
 Mrs. Thompson not enjoying Conn ecticut ways, returned to Virginia, taking her own slaves with her ex- cepting Mrs. Mars.

The Chatham fair is the first in eastern New York to discard the so- called professional special attractions and to substitute those presented by local organizations or residents. Dis satisfaction with the acts sent by the booking companies is what prompted the fair managers to adopt the local attractions. This year they will include pageants, pantomines, drills ,etc. by four Col umbia county granges, a series of brief acts by the Boy Scouts of Berkshire county, Mass, running races and other athletic events, open to all, under the direction of M. B. Hunt of Chatham. One of the fea- lures will be a fancy dance, the Highland fling, by little Grace Jor- dan, Columbia county's smallest dancer. The various events will be presented afternoon and evening with the exception of Friday when the automobile races consume the entire afternoon. There will be evening fairs on each date with the exception of Friday.
