publican Ticket.

score of remote towns to be heard from
the vote of which will not material
ly change the result, the Republicans
carried Vermont by more than $4,000 in
yesterdays election. These are con-
sentative figures.
Chairman Merrill of the Republican
state committee states that official fig
ureS will show a majority for the party
he represents of at least $1,000 while

ceeds the previous majority for a Re
publican candidate for governor by
many thousands is due to a largely
increased Republican vote and at the
same time to marked loss of Demo
cratic votes.
