Republicans Carry Vermont by a Ma
jority of 28,000.
White River Junction, Vt., Sept. 2.—
lite Republicans won the election in
Vermont yesterday by carrying the
state for Lieutenant Governor George
H. Prouty, of Newport, for governor,
by about 28.000 votes over James E.
Burke, of Burlington, his Democratic
opponent. The plurality was the
smallest in a presidential year since
1892, when it was only 18,596, and
was followed by a Democratic na
tional victory; but it was larger than
in 1888, anil only slightly less than in
190:). There was a falling off in four
years of about 8 per cent in the Re
publican vote, while the Democratic
vote fell off about 2 per cent.
The Independence League appeared
for the irst time, and polled about
1000 votes, while the Prohibition and
Socialist vote remained about the
same. An unusually large number of
local candidates for the legislature,
although bringing out a heavy vote
and resulting in Democratic gains in ;
the lower branch of the legislature,
apparently had no bearing on the
gubernatorial fight.
As Vermont is the first state to
vote during the presidential cam- I
paign. there was much interest !
throughout the country in the size of I
the Republican plurality.
