vERMONT'S INFLUENCE.
Significant Testimony Regarding Faith
In Vermont Majority in

Newport, Aug. GA good deal Of
comment. pro and con. has been made
regarding the influence Of Nermont3
republican MAJORITY in September up
on the November election as regards
the whole country. There has been
shown a wide difference OF opinion, per-
haps here In Vermont Certain news
papers have secuted tho idea In m
mstakable language, and some leading
citizens have been reported as putting
no faith In Vermont as "A Political
Barometer"
As bearing upon this subject, a state
ment made by the Hon c. l.. Marsh
president of the 3. J. Kendall Co. of
Enosbureh Falls certainly indicates that
in one critical election at least. the nc
ton of Vermont In September had
very important bearing. In this respect
Mr.. Marsh authorizes the following
statement.
During the first campaign between
Mckinley and Bryan was In Mimi
eapolis for several days before the cleo
ton was held here IN Vermont; was
stopping with Mr.. Record He was
director in a bank In Minneapolis and he
told me at that time of the year the
banks out there borrowed money from
banks in New York TO buy up the crops,
and up to that time they were not able
to get dollar on account of the con-
dition Of the country, but the next day
after the election in Vermont word was
telegraphed from New York banks that
they could have all the money they
wanted the large republican majority
OF Vermont gave them confidence that
the country would go all right. So much
for large republican majority in Yer
mont"

and he was generously applaudcd. Mr.
Burke seems to be in doubt whether
Taft or Roosevelt was the republican
nominee for president Tie gave Mr.
Roosevelt warm eulogy and thought
him the greatest salesman he knew
anything about unless It was Mr. Bryan.
A sample OF his logic follows: Automo-
biles are running Wild in Burlington
therefore every voter should vote for
Bryan.

that the ma jority for Taft this fall will
be as large as It was four years ago for

optimistic a view To take.

Connecticut and In New l.ampshire, but
the leaders from these States declared
at the conference that the national ticket
would not he affected in the least by
