CULBERSON TO
LET FRIENDS
+, SEE HIM THRU
In Promised Statement, He
Says Health Will Not Per-
NIT a Campaign

United States Senator Charles A.
Culberson, now serving his fourth
term, in his promised statement sup
plementing his announcement as p
candidate for reelection, states that
he is not strong enough to make a
canvass of the state this summer,
and that his candidacy must, there
fore, be "left largely to the demo-
Gratis generally, men and women,
who approve my views upon public
questions. and for whcsc support
and friendship | will be profoundly
grateful"
Senator Ca'berson outlines his
record in the United States senate
in his present term, stating that dur
ing the five years which he has
served of this term he has voted on
practically all important questions
which were before the senate.
His statement follows in full:
To the Democrats of Texas:
On the 25th day of January last
issued a statement to you to the
Il
name to the democratic primary next
summer for the nomination for the
United States senate, and that later
on / would issue further statement
to YOU on the subject.
This further statement which l
now make will, generally and broad
ly speaking, be a review of my rec
ord in the senate during my present
term, and my position on important
public questions of the day.
AS is well known, took an active
part in the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson for the presidency in 1912.
His first term as president, begin
ming in 1913, was largely devoted to
domestic affairs, and was record
of unexampled achievement in such
policies. So strongly did he impress
the country, and so prosperous was
it under his administration, that he
was unanimously renominated in
1916 and reelected, being the only
democrat since Andrew Jackson TIA
succeed himself in the presidency.
During the first four years of my
present term, beginning in 1917. Mr..
Wilson was president of the United
States, and, as in his first term SO
in his second term, supported his
policies.
During his second term. beginning
in 1917, foreign affairs largely domi
mated his administration, and he car
ried the United States TO the lead
ership of the nations.
His doctrine of self determination
restored the liberties of Poland,
made Ireland a free state, and gave
fresh hope to countless other mil
lions struggling for liberty through
out the world.
In truth, the stand of the United
States under his leadership faved
democracy for mankind and rescued
our imperiled civilization.
Coming to particular measures of
legislation during his period, and

WINDHAM COUNTY's SPLIT ON
SPEAKERSHIP.

| There are two probable, candidates
for speaker Of the Vermont House Of
| Representatives from Windham coun-
| ty. The two are DIR. +. L. Osgood of
Rockingham Including Bellows Falls
and Frank X. Barber of Brattleboro.
Both are veterans of the legislature,
the former having served in both the
/ Senate and the House. and the latter
having served one term in the House.
OF course, there are other candidates
in other parts of the state, one Of
whom is likely to be returned win
ner over the Windham county aspir-
ants in view Of the fact that solid
county delegation is generally consid-
cred as one Of the requirements be-
fore the remainder Of the state takes
the situation seriously. If Windham
county is split in its choice of its own
aspirants it is probable that there will
be as much of split in the state as
a whole respecting those two candi-
dates.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the Brattleboro Reform
err is inclined to dismiss the claims of
its townsman, Barber, with the state
ment that he "also is veteran Of one
previous term and will be expected
to make his experience valuable to
his constituents while at the same
time the contemporary declares that
"Rockingham's nomination of DIR. f.
L. 0sgood practically assures the cleo
tion of representative whose serv-
ice in previous legislatures both as
senator and representative gives him
the rank Of dean Of the county dele
cation and puts him in the position al
the county's probable favorite for the
speakership."
Those statements are virtually a
warning to the remainder of the state
that Barbers aspirations for the
speakership should not be taken Sc
riously. Nevertheless, it is known
that Barber has been making deter
mined canvass Of the state and in so
far as that is productive of votes he
is far ahead of Osgood.
