Frederick c.. Fleetwood

After much agitation and many
delays, Hon. Frederick G. Fleet
wood of Morrisville has finally en-
tered the congressional contest in
this district and will assuredly be
elected by big majority.
AS soon as Mr.. Fleetwood came
into the field Martin S. Villas with
drew so that already the Fleet
wood candidacy has been of
special service to the district.
Mr.. Fleetwood has already serv-
ed the state in public capacity and
the voters of this district know
that they are getting a man of the
highest character, keenly devoted
to the public welfare, man of
sound judgment and business abili-
ty, and finally a man who can
speak we'll when speaking is nee
essary and desirable but who can
be relied on to keep quiet most of
the time.
The Congressional Record will
never be overloaded with gush be-
cause of Mr.. Fleetwood's being in
Congress from the first district of
Vermont.
The district is most fortunate in
prevailing on him to be a candi-
date to succeed Frank l.. Greene
who will be promoted to the SEN
ate on the fourth of March next.

We're ALI Interested

The official invitation to the
people of Vermont to visit the
camp of the 172d regiment, Yer
mont National Guard. DURING the
fifteen days stay of the regiment
near Fort Ethan Allen will not
have to be repeated in order to
draw a crowd of Vermonters. AS a
matter of fact there is likelihood
of being so many visitors that the
work of the camp might be inter
fered with to certain extent. how
ever much the civilians may strive
not to encroach on the time of the
soldiers. Vermont people desire to
know what progress has been made
in the states military department
and they will be sure to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to see
the regiment in camp activity

signatures, has been duly filed with

Gov. Foote'S prospects in Vermont
has decided to be a candidate, 100,

Carl C. Fletcher, formerly of st.

Surely there is need of comprehensive
planning for the future that the error

error of the cities and villages of Yer

tunities lies in Waterbury. In this vii

at hand is the Waterbury Inn. One side
is bounded by the railway passenger sta

an exceptional chance to group effec-
lively the public buildings which this
alert village must be dreaming of as
things to be realized in the not distant
future. 1t will be interesting to note
what the years bring forth.
Brattleboro may be thankful that. in
some measure at least, the principles of
proper municipal developments have been
observed. There have been some dis
tressing errors but future errors in the
