Vt. Delegates Wire Sym
Dathy to Mrs. Fletcher

WASHINGTON, May 10 I'M
mediately upon the death of Hon.
Allen NJ. Fletcher, Former Gov. p.
w. Clement sent the following tele-
gram to Congressman Da.c
"Allen M. Fletcher died sudden
| ly this morning at the Hotel Ber-
| wick, Rutland. Please notify mem
bes of Vermont delegation.
Representative Dale lost no
time in getting in touch with the
two senators and Congressman
Greene, and after comforting to-
gether the delegation sent the fol-
lowing telegram of sympathy to
Mrs. Allen NJ. Fletcher at Caven-
dish:
The Vermont delegation in Con-
gress extends to you and your fam
lily warmest expressions of sym
pathy upon the death of your be-
loved husband and Vermont's hon
ored former governor.
"(Signed)

Col. Dale, in referring personally
to the former governor, said:
Governor Fletcher was a man
who put into eXeca alton his convic-
tons uninfuenced by the motives
which generally receive considera
ton from public officials. No doubt
he sacrificed mucn' of personal
fellowship to maintain his stand
ard of public duty. Men who ques-
toned his judgement never doubt
ed his courage or his effort to
reach some definite purpose of a
constructive and progressive ma
ture.'
