Perhaps the only state showing Dem-
ocratic gains in the presidential vote
is Maryland which went for Roosevelt
by less than 400 on the face of the re-
turns. The official count will be need
ed to decide conclusively.
Revised figures show that Republi-
can governors were elected in West
Virginia and Nebraska which had
been conceded to the democrats, but a
Democratic governor was elected in
Montana and probably in Colorado,
which had been claimed by the Repub
Leans.
With the election returns still incom-
plete, the plurality of President
Roosevelt in the nation will exceed
800, 00,-the greatest ever given an
American candidate. The nearest
approach was in 1896, when Mckinley
received a plurality approximating
$50, 900 and in 1872, when Grant re-

to explain his position He says:
THE Democratic party has met with

sis, as it is impossible to say whether
the result is due TO an actual increase
in the number of Republican voters or
TO falling off in the Democratic vote
This phase of the subject will be dealt

questions for consideration Mt this time

and what of the future? The defeat of
Judge Parker should not be considered

could under the circumstances. He

The Senator Offers House for II
and Money Gift of
$4,000.

Montpelier, Nov l0.-The House this
morning passed the weekly payment
bill and the bill providing for plurali-
ty elections of representatives on the
third ballot. This bill was passed by
a vote of ll3 to ST.
Mr. Graves this morning introduced
bill to incorporate the First Baptis
church of Bennington.
The House also passed the bill al
lowing towns to elect tree wardens.
The Senate unanimously passed the
Slack caucus. Senator Rollins intro
duced a bill providing a penalty for
selling fire arms to minors under l5.
The Sen ate this afternoon ordered a
third reading on the bill appropria-
ting $50, 900 for Morrill, hall.
Mr. Graves introduced a bill prohib-
ting taking fish of any kind from the
Walloomsac river between Sept and
May /.
Representative Graves today intro
duced into the house a bill to incor-
porate the Lucy Ruggles teachers
home. The bill provides for the de-
posting in the state treasury OF the
money derived from the estate of Lucy
Ruggles of this village who at her
death left her entire estate, valued at
$50, 900 for the founding of home for
deserving teachers.
She did not state, however, whether
this home should be erected in Ver-
mont or elsewhere. Charles II. Darl-
ing, trustee of the estate, desires that
the home should be Vermont institu
tion and that the state should appro-
pirate sum for the purpose. If the
state does not do so, Mr. Darling will
have to accept the next best offer made
him. Senator Redfield Proctor has
offered to give clio, 900 and in addition
the old homestead in which Senator
Proctor formerly lived, which is stu
ated in Rutland at the head OF Grove
street, near the country club.
AS this property is easily worth &c.
900 this would swell the senator's gift
to $4,000. The idea is to permit the
money to remain in the state treasury
until the sum OF sl0O, 900 has accumu-
lated and then no further help would
be required from the state.
1t is first necessary that money
should be advanced or appropriated
by some person, institution or state in
order to obtain the Ruggles fund,
which has now reached close to $40, 900.
