hot CONTEST
Vermont Campaign Being vlg-
OrousIy Conducted.

Montpelier. VT. Aug. 16. - Just two
weeks from next Tuesday the electors Of
Vermont will express their preference
for governor and other state officers. and
incidentally In a measure voice their
sentiments on the ail-absorbing liquor
question in their choice Of members Of
the Legislature.
The campaign Is one Of the most hotly
contested OF any ever carried on In the
state. Rallies are being held nightly In
every county. Owing to the peculiar and
novel situation the really active work OF
the campaign Is confined wholly to the
Republican party which. divided as II Ia
with the regulars, headed by General
John q. Mccullough OF Bennington. the
candidate for governor on one hand and
the bolting local option. high license
forces led by Percival w. Clement of
to devote 10 the Democratic ticket. the
head OF which Is Hon. Felix McGettrick
Of st. Albans. On ordinary occasions the
Republicans OF this state outnumber their
opponents by about three TO one.
With the exceptions OF the nominees
for governor and lieutenant governor the
regular Republican ticket is assured OF
election. as the Clement convention after
nominating the Rutland man for COVER
nor and Frank Egan OF Ludlow for Sec
ond place. endorsed the remainder OF the
ticket nominated by the Republican con-
vention at Montpelier.
The officials OF tho state committee and
other party leaders claim that they feel
confident OF General McCullough's cleo
ion. but they are not idle. realizing that
the Bennington man will have TO poll
a majority Of the whole number of votes
cast In order 10 be elected.
