[From the Springfield Union.l
The Republican gain of "a, 600 in Ohio
does not fairly represent the result az it ap-
plies to the national campaign. The liquor
question, which included the maintenance
or the repeal of the Scott saloon tax law,
greatly complicated the local issues. With
that question national politics has nothing
whatever to do. Robinson, the candidate
for secretary of state at the head of the state
ticket, was a strong prohibitonist and one Of
the other Republican candidates was Judge
who affirmed the constitutionality OF the
Scott law. Many Republicans who are
straight on national issues but are opposed
to the Scott law, voted against these candi.
dates and it is utterly misleading to take the
pluralities received by these candidates as an
indication of the Republican plurality in the
state on national issues That Robinson's
plurality is about $4,000 is encouraging as
showing the determination of the Ohio peo-
pie to maintain their rights against the liquor
sellers, but the actual Republican majority is
best indicated by the vote for representatives
for Congress in the several districts.
The Republicans have gained three con-
gressmen. Stick pin there. The returns
indicate that the Republican plurality in the
state as shown in the vote for congressman
is from IS, 900 to 10, 1000 The significance
of this result should not be overlooked, and
no reduction of the first announced plurali.
ties for state officers should be allowed to
overshadow the true result on national issues
ss shown in the congressional vote. This is
the best indication possible of how the state
will go next month Ohio has from Is, 600
to 1000 Republican plurality in October on
the national ticket. No amount Of independ-
ent arithmetic can obliterate the fact In
years past Ohio has often added over 20, 600
votes to her national Republican majority in
November, as compared with the October
figures, and there is no apparent reason why
she may not do the same this year. That
would indicate plurality for Blaine and Lo-
gan in Ohio of from 3s, 900 to 1000.

which lead any Of our citizens to oppose the
Wilmington railroad, we have only 10 add
that the reasons for hvoring the road are
summed up in the one statement that Brattle-
boro needs the road to save and protect her
business interests. With II she brings back
and permanently saves the business Of the
southwestern part Of the county, including
two Of the best towns which are tributary 10
this or any other trade centre. Without the
road the business Of this section, amounting
TO one.seventh the productive area Of the
county, will go TO Massachusetts,, and the loss
to Brattleboro will be permanent and rretriev-
able.
This is something which the town cannot
afford to have happen, and for this reason we
hope that next Monday all men who have the
future interests of Brattleboro at heart will
drop their prejudicos aud act on their sober
judgment and the well.assured facts in the
case. II they do this, the result Of the spec
ial town meeting will be vote to aid the
Brattleboro & Bennington railroad by ma
jority that will silence all opposition TO the
enterprise

despatch from Columbus, o., last Satur-
day, which gives as complete returns from
the Ohio election as can be had until the Off
cisl vote is declared, says The official vote
from 60 counties, and semi.oficial figures
from the other % counties, give Robinson
for secretary of state II, 1921 majority aud
Flickinger for board Of public works, H.
476. In 60 counties the plurality OF johnson
for supreme judge is estimated at between
10, 600 and 16, 600. The vote by counties on
congressman shows 50, 544 in Republican ma
jorities and 49, 126 Democratic. The net
Republican majority on the congressional
vote is 1S,4lS. Ten Republican congress-
men are elected a gain of three over last
year.
On the same day b. Il. Cowan editor Of
the State journal of Columbus, telegraphed
the New York Tribune 1.-The most persist
ent efforts we're made by the Democratic
state committee here to boost the head of
their ticket and instructions were sent out to
trade off anything and everything to that
end, on the theory that the plurality on the
head of the ticket would be considered the
real test By this means Robnsons plurali-
ty was kept below ~, 600 and Johnson's vote
for Judge Of the supreme court was also af-
fected by the hostility of the liquor influence,
which selected him for daughter. The true
test of the relative strength of the two par
ties is therefore the vote for the candidate
for public works. For that Office the plural.
| ity Of the Republican candidate is just ascer-
tanned to be 1916, which is the real size of
the Ohio victory"
A Washington despatch says: As Il is sd-
mitted that the canvass proceeded mainly up
on national issues the most experienced cal
culators here insist that the legitimate basis
of comparison is on the aggregate vote for
congressman, which shows total Republican
majority of over 10000 or il that vote
should not be taken az a standard. the compaT-
ison should be made with the vote for the
nominee for member Of the board of public
works, Flickinger, who wGs not embarrassed,
as the candidate for secretary of state, Rob
inson, was, by the temperance question.
Whatever way the calculation shall be made,
the Republicans are content with their large
majority, and the Democrats are chsgrined
at the noise they have made over the fact that
the original estimates given out by the Repub
lican committee in Ohio were eItravagant.
1t is difficult to see what possible consolation
Democrats can find in an election where
there has been change of minimum Of
80, 600 votes in favor of the Republicans, al
compared with the plurality for Hoadly fol
| governor last year.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.


Our people are looking with deep inter
est for the action Of Brattleboro on the rail
road question. This village has as active
and enterprising business men as can be
found in the county, and the prosperity and
growth Of the place and this part Of the county
depend largely II not exclusively on railroad
facilities. We have large available water
power, much greater than any other In the
county, except from the Connecticut river
at BrSttleboro and Bellows Falls, and II only
needs a railroad to bring II out and give q
permanent and increasing business. The
decisive point Is at hand, and this section
must have ready and easy communication
with the business centre OF the county, which
the people are anxious to have, or be COM
PEELED reluctantly to turn their business, eI-
cept what lie absolutely necessary TO be DONE
in other directions and out OF the State, and
that too, perhaps, for all coming time. This
appears TO be the last opportunity, and We
can but believe that the action will on Mon
day be favorable, which would inspire with
redoubled energy every legitimate enterprise
In this section, revive business along the
whole line and promote the general interests
of the entire county, and especially Of its
business centre.
