VERMONT ELECTION.
INCREASED UNION GAIN.

MONTPELIER, Sept. 6-1I.30 p. NJ.
The annual election of State officers took
place to-day. The GubernatoFial candidates
were the same as last year, Gov. Smith being
supported by the Republicans and Unionists,
and Timothy b. Reddeld by the Democrats
The vote is light, though somewhat fuller than
last year. Only partial returns are received,
yet enough Is known to indicate the election
Of the Union candidate be considerably larger
majority than last yesr. We have the Repre-
sentative vote from forty towns. All return
Union men but two. The vote for Governor
In about one seventh OF the State is as fol-
lows Smith, Union, $685.; Redfeld, Demo-
crat, 1915. Last year, Smith, 1854; Redheld,
1851. A corresponding increase throughout
the State will swell Smiths majority to 5000
more than IL was last year.
Three Union Republican Congressman are
elected by increased majorities, and probably
all the Union nominees for county Senators
and other county officers.
The Union men of the State are jubilant
over their achievement to-day.
