PROCTOR FOR GOVERNOR.
Son of U. S. Senator Chosen by a
aroe Majority in Verynonf


Large Majority in Vermont.
Montpelier, VT, Sept. 5.-F'letcher d.
Proctor of Proctor son of United
States Senator Redfield Porter, was
electer governor OF Vermont yester-
day by large majority. The repub-
lican organization last night claimed
that his plurality over Percival w
Clement of Rutland, the independent
and democratic candidate, would eX-
coed $1,000. The normal republican
plurality in Vermont is about 21,000.
Scattered returns received from the
two congressional districts OF the state
indicate that Representative David j.
Foster. of Burlington. republican, has
been reelected in the First district
by large majority and that Represen-
tative Kittredge EIaskins of Brattle-
boro, republican, has been returned
from the Second by the usual large
vote.
Returns from 100 towns out of 246
show that the legislature will be over
whelmingly republican Up to this
hour it Is known that seventy-five re-
publican, twelve democrats and six
Independents were elected.
The same towns gave total of To-
615 for Proctor. and 1876 for Clement.
AS the contest two years ago was
a straight one between the two old
parties no comparison can be made
with the vote cast at that time. Four
years ago when John G. Mccullough
the regular republican candidate for
governor was opposed by Clement, in
dependent republican. and Felix w.
McGettrick of st. Adams, democrat,
the republican vote in those town
was 1881 That for Clement was
1921. and McGettrick 2.045. This COM
parison shows a gain today for Proctor
of 1864 and a loss for Clement of Ais.

MONTANA GUARD
EXCITES MUCH ATTENTION

Mr. Peter Taylors most recent purchase.
Montana Guard, 2.2OA. is exciting a good
deal of attention among connoisseurs of
well-bre horse flesh. He is seal brown
stallion, close to sixteen hands in height,
with powerful fore and hind quarters, and a
back strong enough to carry ton of coal.
In addition to the above qualities he has
plenty of bone, and of the right texture to
carry his body over miles at extreme speed.
His legs below the knees are Of the knife
blade pattern, and his tendons stand out
like whipcords. Montana Guards sire. the
famous Ponce de Leon, 2.13, by Pancoat,
1889 was one of the most highly finished
horses ever bred in this or any other coun-
try, and in this characteristic the Guard is

tana Guard has faced the starter for the
word he has been first or second, with the
single exception of one race, and in This he
got third money. Perhaps his greatest race
was on June 16 last, when. in a field of
eleven, among which was the sensational
Emboy. he was second to the latter In
21SA. 21SA, and second again in the third
heat in 216. A month later at Elmira he
trotted a mile in 2 14A In his six-year-old
form. when he shall have been more fully
matured, he should if desired, easily enter
the 9. 10 list. His paternal and maternal an
cestors were not only race horses of the
first rank themselves but the records show
that they have been able to transmit those
qualities.

paratory to organizing the board on a per-
nianent basis There were present, beside
Admiral Bairds w. v. Cox, Mrs. Justin
Hill. Jas. F. Oyster. Prot. Barton w. Ever
man. John II. Cook. DR.. Oliver Atwood and

was elected permanent president of the
board Mrs. Terrell. who had been appoint-
ed temporary secretary, being instructed to
deposit unanimous ballot for him.
Prof. Everman was elected vice president.
The board was proceeding under the rules
Of the old board. which called for the cleo
ton OF superintendent, but the question
was raised whether or not the superintend-
ent could be considered teacher, and the
appointment OF teachers could be consid-
cred In executive session. 1t was desired,
IL possible, to consider the case OF the
superintendent in the same way. It was
decided. however, that he could not be con-
sfdered teacher within the meaning OF
the law, and his election was allowed to
go over until the~nex meeting OF the
board in order that the members might
have chance to discuss the matter and
more fully inform themselves before voting
Owing to the failure to elect a superfn-
tendent the board was unable to consider
the question OF selecting teachers, these
having to be appointed ON the recomunen-
dalton OF the superintendent. The case of
last years normal graduates was discussed,
however, Mrs. Terrell stating that the old
board had adjourned without making any
appointment, and thus leaving number OF
prospective teachers without schools.
Admiral Baird said he felt this was q
hardship, but after general discussion II
was decided to refer the matter to the Dis
trict auditor for a legal opinion az to
whether the board has right to appoint
yrhn aha, Cow
appointment lapsed June 80 If 1t Is de-
cdded that the board has this right, the
older graduates will be given the prefer
ence.
Admiral Baird then stated that the meet
ing would adjourn until 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning.
