Editor of The Phoenix
Dear Sir: May i ask if you will kindly
publish the following letter, and accept,
in advance, my thanks for your cour-
tpsy.
To the voters of Windham county =
The younger generation may not know
their history well enough to remember
that today is the 61st anniversary of the
battle of Bull Run, the beginning of a
long struggle to preserve the union of the
United States and to make the nation
the power in the world it now is. The
young men of those times were the ones
who saved the union. freed the slaves
| and started the country on line OF
progress which still continues. We call
, our country free: one reason is because
| the people are free to express their Opin
ion, free to vote for their leaders from
| the highest to the lowest IN Office.
/ oil
set apart for the election of our officers
and representatives. Our fall election.
in Vermont will soon be in order. Among
other things to be decided is the Qucs
ton of who will our county send to Mont
peler AS senators for the coming scs
sion of the Vermont legislature. have
wondered whether the people of oui
county would feel that l was capable o
serving as one of the senators from Thu
county. The more thought of the mat
ter the more it seemed to me that | wa
one of the most logical candidates o
the times, as u result of a long residenc
in the town and state, identified wit
the business interests of the town. tn
county and the state, and experience i
other large projects in and out of til
state.
With all due regard to the other car
didates. whether known or to be known
! hereby announce myself as candidat
for the Office of senator from this end O
the county. Platforms and promises Ga
the saying isl are made for the purpos
NJ election. I do not come before you o.
any particular platform. My idea of SCI
vice is that person elected to thi
Office should use his best business judy
ment in meeting the problems of govern
ment and laws as they may come u
from time to time during the session
casting his vote accordingly. Furthe
than this no man can honestly promise
/ am now so situated that. if elected
| could give my entire time to the CON
ing session of the legislature. | one
saw in an advertisement in Texa
paper, reading about as follows: 81
John Jones, resident of this county
am a candidate for sheriff. | conside
myself capable of filling the Office AT
ccptably; | ask your votes" l fec
something the way the above advertise
ment reads, namely, that | am capabl
; Of filling the Office of senator, and | as
your support at the coming election
EDWARD c. CROSBY.
