1906 Vermont gubernatorial election
The 1906 Vermont gubernatorial election took place on September 4, 1906. In keeping with the Republican Party's "Mountain Rule",[1] incumbent Republican Charles J. Bell, did not run for a second term as Governor of Vermont. At the start of the year, Percival W. Clement and Fletcher D. Proctor were the leading candidates for the Republican nomination.[2][3] When it became clear that Proctor had the support of the delegates, Clement ended his campaign for the nomination.[4] He filed as an Independent candidate for the general election and was subsequently endorsed by the Democratic Party.[4][5] In the general election, Proctor easily defeated Clement.[6]
