To tho Editor of tho Freo 1'icss;
If all the farmers of A'ermont (as nil tho
farmers of the Stato are dairymen to somo
oxtenti had an opportunity to reud the let
ter of Col. oodbury to Senator Edmunds,
which you publish to-day, 1 think tncro
would bo no question nbout who would bo
our noxt govornor, His nrgumouts are tin
unswcrublo. Something has to be dono for
tho dairy interests of tho country ovon If a
"score or so of millionaire manufacturers
of oico'' havo to go tho wall. Should the
prominent and influential men of tin dairy
region of the wholo country do as ho has done,
show that they aro nlive to tho interests of
their sections, nud writo their respective
delegations in Congress, this wrong would
ho speedily righted. I wish a copy of that
letter could bo placed in tho hands of overy
farmer in tho State, and then our incoming
governor would bu In a position to make his
