THE SALOON
NOT WANTED.
HEAVY GAIN IN THE mo" VOTE
OVER LAST YEAR.

Nearly so Towns That Said yes" in
1903 Now Say "No"--Even Rutland
City Wants to Be DrYa Year--Mont-
pelier and Barre Close--Bethelv Votes
"No"--clean Sweep in This Section
--5urke Winner in Burlington.
That Vermont has about quenched its
thirst and, ON sober second thought, is
ready to return to the good old way OF the
fathers, is indicated by the vote through
out the state Tuesday on the question,
submitted in each city and town, "Shall
this city or town license the sale OF intoxi-
eating liquor for the coming year RI In
about 200 OF the 246 cities and towns the
answer was "No.n This shows a remark
able change in sentiment from last year,
when ~ towns voted yes. Forty-six
towns, at least, that voted yes last year
change to no this year, as follows:-
Bristol, Lincoln, Middlebury, Monkton,
Salisbury, Waltham, Arlington, Dorset,
Manchester, Readsboro, Stamford, Essex,
Hinesburgh, Huntington, Jericho, VIII
liston, Brighton, Northfield, Guildhall,
Norton, St. AIbans town, Fairfield, Enos-
burg, Isle La Motto, Stowe, Troy, Brad
ford, Pittsford. Granville, Rutland, West
Rutland, Dandy, Middletown Springs,
Mt. Tabor, Bellows Falls, Bethel, Caven-
dish, Hartland, Ludlow, Reading, Rox-
bury.
Only one town went from the dry to the
wet column.
Caledonia, Orleans, Orange and Grand
Isle counties went no solidly. Windsor is
the only town in Windsor county voting
yes. Barre city, Barre town, Montpelier
and Woodbury. were the only towns in
Washington county that went went yes.
Perhaps the greatest surprise was Rut-
land city, the birthplace Of the license
movement and the home OF Clement, its
apostle. Last year II went yes by 1871
majority. After one year OF the saloon II
goes no by f02 majority. The majority in
Burlington was reduced half and in st.
Albans three fourths. Montpelier and
Barre. which were Overwhelmingly license
last year, were close Tuesday, Montpelier
giving yes majority of only Al and Barre
James f. Burke, Democrat, was re-
elected mayor Of Burlington by a plural
ity OF 505 over X. f. Brown, Republican.
The new council is evenly divided and as
the mayor has the deciding vote the Dem
ocrats control the city and will put
through their municipal lighting scheme.
In st. Albans, Mayor George was re-
elected and the Citizens ticket beaten.
Rutland elected John S. Carder, Labor,
as mayor over ID. w. Temple, Citizens, and
II. w. Spafford, Republican, Carder's plu-
rality being only IS. The propositions to
bond the city were turned down.
Montpelier reelected Mayor Cory
without opposition.
Barre chose William Barclay, the regular
caucus nominee, as mayor, over Fred B.
Mudgett by l22 plurality.

dignity OF the Senate last Thursday.
senator Tillman was speaking, when Sena-
tor Warren Of Wyoming slipped up be-
hind him and, unbeknowD to him, drew
forth from Tillman's pocket bottle con-
tanning colorless liquid. He took out
the cork, smelled Of the contents and
grinned, while the galleries Uttered and
senator's looked shocked. On learning
" hat had been done, Senator Tiliman ex-
planned that the bottle contained boraeic
acid that he was using for throat diff
Guilty, and that, had he known Narren's 5
desire he would have provided a liquid
more acceptable. Warren replied that Il
was well known Tlllman never tasted
strong drink. TillmRn interrupted by
saving, II do sometimes taste 1t, but never
get so drunk at banquets that have to be
carried home, " this being a thrust at War
rem. Senators interposed and the incident
