Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-06-18
Leads the Congressional Con-
test in Second District
BY MANY DELEGATES
Barre Declares For Stafford
BY Six Votes.

The political situation in the sec.
ond district is becoming decidedly
warm but Col. HaskinS is away in the
lead today, as the republican candi.
GATE for nominee for Congressional
representative. The returns today
show Haskins to have secured l30 del
egates, Plumley "a and Stafford As.
1t will be noticed however, that
the two strongest counties of Haskins,
Windsor and Wlndham, have held
their caucuses.
There are 20 more delegates to he
elected in Washington county and
these will be solid for Plumlcv.
Orange county has yet to elect % and
they will undoubtedly be for Plumley
Essex county has %. They will prob
ably be divided between Haskins and
Plumley. Orleans county has 81
more and this is the principal fighting
ground. Plumley is believed to be
slightly in the lead there Caledonia
county has q more and they may be
expected to 60 for Stafford.
The situation is decidedly inter-
estlng one with the outlook slightly
in favor of lIaskins with Plumlcy a
close second and Stafford and Dale
with decidedly gloomy prospect.
