UNION LABOR ON PARADE.

City-TwO Parades at

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept 6.-By actual
count there were 1882 people in the
great Labor day parade. Many MEM
bers of labor unions in this city had
gone to st. Louis to march in the
greater labor parade there, and that
cut down the number that might
otherwise have marched here. Joseph
w. Folk, democratic nominee for
governor, and Thomas E. Watson,
populist nominee for president, were
magnets that drew large crowds to

VERMONT VOTING TODAY.
Democrats Hope to Reduce Hepup-
Iican Majority So As to Claim
Apathy Towards Roosevelt.

White River Junction, Vt, Sept D.
Vermont's state election-the second
of the presidential year-is being held
to-day. State officers are being chosen
and republicans, democrats, prohlpl-
tionists and socialists all have tlcKets
in the field. The sole fight OF the
democrats has been to reduce the re-
publican plurality Of $1,000 Given to
Stickney for governor in 1900 to a
figure which would indicate a signin-
cant gain in democratic strength and
as pointing to a national democratic
victory. A republican plurality under
$4,000 will be regarded by the demo-
Gratis as a victory. The republican
leaders Of the state expect at least 25,-
900 plurality, and securing 1t will re-
gard the result as strong 1ndorse-
ment of the republican administration
in the state for the past two years and
as an omen of republican success IN
the national election.
The Usual Way in Arkansas.
Little Rock, Ark, Sept 6.-Early re-
