they left the factory, and Il crowd Of
several hundrCd boys and young m II
and few grown men had collected,
As soon as the men and their escort

ther- was \ shower of stones tin cans
and other missiles. none Of which hit
ths mark intended. The crowd yelled

LOCAL OPTION LAW.
Vsrmonters Vote a Majority Of 1923
for Il.

St. Albans, Vt-With fine weather

most places, local option Is adopted by
the voters of Vermont by about 1000
majority. The few small towns among
the hills not yet heard from can change
the total but 200 or so. even should
their voice be unanimously no
The surprises of the day were many
and great, especially this being the case
in Rutland county which had been re-
lied upon by the local optionists to give
double the majority 1t did. Two coun-
ties in the state did not give even one
town to the local option cause and two
towns did not even give one vote.
Had the issue been simply whether
to retain the prohibitory law or not,
there is no question but the majority
for the rejection of the law would have
been overwhelming but the fact that
there is a clause in the law which for
bids treating has been a strong fac
tor in aiding the anti-license vote.

the acceptance of the license bill and
2l9 for it's rejection total of 1885
ity of 1877 in the city from 200 to 800

would be given.
Franklin county returns yes ma
jority of S74 the vote standing 291G
yes to 2042 no. Enosburg the home of
INIT pJ nf
customs for the district of Vermont,
who has actively espoused the no
cause, gave a no majority Of 108. the
vote standing 1873 yes to 24l no. The to-
tai county vote was 1888. The Prohi-
bitionists had claimed the county by
substantial majority. The result gives
the local Optionsts 344 more majority
than the conservative element had
hoped.
Rutland city cast total vote of 2514,
returning yes majority of 1442, the
vote standing 1878 yes to 536 no. Ben-
nington cast total vote of 1924, with
a yes majority of 124S, the vote stand
ing 1896 yes to 1888 no. Burlington city
casts total of 5000, the yes majority
