ST. ALBANS, vt, Sept. Gas re-
suit of the failure of any candidate
FOR governor of Vermont in Tuesdays
balloting to obtain an election agita-
ton is developing to have the present
election laws of the state radically
altered, so that the present system,
which requires a candidate to get
majority Of the entire vote cast, will
be done away with. In addition to the
failure Of the electors to choose q gov
ernor and lieutenant governor a num-
Der of towns are left without repre-
sentation in the legislature, which in
the present campaign against prohibit
tion may have an important effect
when that body meets, providing the
vacant seats are not filed in the mean
time
Vermont is one of the few states still
clinging to this majority system. Hith-
erto the legislators have always re-
sisted the attempts of those at Mont
pelier who desired a system similar to
that in Massachusetts and other states.
In the general assembly of 1900 Rep
resentatiYe Fleetwood of Norristown
attempted to have bill passed to au-
thorize the choice of candidates by
plurality vote If majority was not Sc
cured on the first ballot. Mr.. Fleet
woods bill referred to representatives
only, and, although it was ably cham
pioned by him, it met defeat.

Havana, May 21.-"Cuba Libre," the
shibboleth of the Cuban patriot for
generations past, the altar on which
countless treasure and the very heart
heart blood of the youth and strength
of the island have been poured yester-
day became reality.
Four years ago the United States
government promised the island free

promise, for not only has the prom
Used independence been given, but
the young nation has been trained
for two years past in the intrfcacies
Of self-government and has been
started on it's career with both finan-
cial and moral backing of the nation
which itself fought it's way aainst the
tremendous obstacles to success.
The celebration of the national day
of the new republic was a strange
mixture of smiles and tears, yet both
were for joy that new nation was
born. The youth of the island, carried
away with enthusiasm, danced and
sang in the exuberance of joy, while
everywhere here and there through
out the city might be seen hoary-
haired veterans in rags and almost
barefooted kneeling in the streets and
with tears of joy streaming down
their faces thanking heaven they had
lived to see the day when their hopes
and prayers were realized and Cuba
was free.
The city was crowded with visitors.
Several days ago the influx began.
Yesterday morning fully $4,000 were
here, with every tran and boat bring

a beautiful aspect. The entrance to
every house was draped with Ameri.

Mr.. Stoddard's letter continues:
'Since her first baby was born she has
had to go out to work to provide
clothes for it. Meanwhile she is
abused continually by her husbands
family, and called all manner of vile
names. and from these people mas
been obliged to ask for every cent
she found it necessary to spend. That
is she must not only take her own
food at their abusive hands, but must
ask them for milk for her baby"
Recently she has been abused more
than ever because she is about to be-
come a mother again, the clergyman
says. He adds: ga few weeks ago
her husband threw a boot at her,
knocking her down; turned her out Of
doors in the middle of the night, and
she went with. what clothes she had
on her back to her mother, a poor wo-
man who can't afford to support her.
She appealed to one of our petty
courts. I wrote the court a letter CIV
ing what know to be the facts in the
case, and there were other witnesses
ready to testify had they been called.
Then though the court knew that this
wife did not dare to go back to her hus-
bands home he took two weeks to
make up his mind II she had no
mother to go to what meanwhile

could she have done? Finally, when
the time for the decision came, the
court told her to go back to her hus-
band, who meanwhile had been writ
ing her insulting letters, telling her
there was no redress, and that if her
husband would give her room and
board she could claim no more"
Mr.. Stoddard says the woman is
heartbroken and does not know what
to do. He is about to leave town and
appeals to philanthropic women to
take up this case, which, he says, is
typical of scores in Jersey City. He
hopes they may find some remedy "for
a state of things which would disgrace
China"
He ends by asking if there is not a
criminal lawyer who will look into the
matter or an athlete who will thrash
