The Special Election in ST. Johnsbury.

that there WAS IL ''rraction." Although
The opposition had worked night and

surrounding towns. Judge Poland had
Il clean majority of twcntN-threc over
all the other candidates. Considering
til" work that the opposition had pu,
INT" the canvass. the class of voters
which made up the bulk of their party.
and the fact that there WAS no organized
party against them. the result of the
vote is highly gratifying to Judge Po-
lands friends and all friends of fair
treatment and dcccncy.
Judge Poland has many warm friends
in the town where he resides. but the
very handsome vote given him on Tues
day WAS largely due To the scurrllnllS
received at the hands of men who claim

election. When Judge Poland WAS de
