Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1904-09-08

Loud cheers greeted the final announce
ment. Mr.. Morse was lifted onto the
stage and in a few fit words expressed his
thanks for the high honor so freely con-
ferred. He invited his townsmen, one
and all, to call on him at his home this
evening.
ID. II. Morse is one of Randolph's best
known, most progressive and successful
farmers. His farm 10 as productive and
well kept as any in town, and he has made
farming and stock raising pay, especially
horse culture, to which he has gwen much
attention He has been in demand in
Vermont and other states as a public
speaker at agricultural meetings. II Is ex-
peeted that Mr. Morse Will take good
rank among the farmer members OF the
House. He stands sQuarely on the Re-
publican platform as to the liquor law.
The four-cornered contest WAS sharp and
spirited, but pretty free from bitterness.
Ii was agreed that all were good men.
The unsuccessful ones need not feel
ashamed OF the support given them. One
good effect was the big vote given the
state tickets, which could not otherwise
have been polled. IL was larger by nine
votes than that OF 1900, when there was
also a hot representative hight. The he-
publicans lost n as compared with that
vote, and the Democrats gained 81. The
latter made a personal canvass to help
their state ticket this year. Randolph VIII
be entitled TO seven delegates in the Re-
publican state convention, the same as be-
fore. Almost as much interest was shown
in the state vote as for representative.
