percentage given To Bird s. Colcr. the
candidate for governor on the same
ticket, would have elected Il Demo

Mr.. Ilcarst's majority was 6OO0 great

IN recent issue of the Boston
Herald there appeared an interesting
article on the condition of the elec-
trio railroad business in Massachu-
sets. 1t seems that out OF the near
ly twenty roads that have been
built in that state in the past few
years a small proportion are paying
dividends. Some have gone into
receivers hands and some are barely
paying expenses. On the whole the
Herald was of the very strong opin-
ION that the electric railroad business
had been seriously overdone in the
Bay State.
