Small Hats Appear
to Be Coming Back

The popularity of large hats--those OF
q size that might serve for umbrellas on
a wet day--is on the wane, and there Is
no question but that the second INSTALL
ment of millinery, that will make its APP
pearance shortly before Christmas. will
show a distinct modification of many ex-
aggerations now present.
That this reaction would come was in
evitable for there was never a fashion
introduced which did not speedily exhaust
Itself if generally adopted. And certainly
never has there been vogue more in
favor than that of huge millinery.

The Vermont Election.
portland Expressly

All eyes We're fixed upon Vermont
yesterday. The election there was re-
garded as an indication of the trend
of public sentiment toward the two
parties. The Democrats have been
making a special effort to reduce the
Republican plurality. with the hope
that 1t would give courage to their fol-
lowers in the national campaign. and
sly hints of the great falling off OF
Republican majorities have been made
in the Democratic press. showing that
while it hardly dared to prophecy vic
tory it expected to make a good show
ing.
In Maine particularly there was hope
that the voice of Vermont would be
for the Democracy in order that bas-
ing an estimate upon Democratic gains
there, it would be possible to hold out
promise of Democratic success here
The result is paralyZing to the Demo-
cratic hopes. In 1906 the Republican
candidate for Governor of Vermont re-
ceived plurality of 1920. In us
news columns this morning the Demo-
cratic local organ announces that the
result in Vermont was to cut down the
Republican plurality some. II from
$4,000 to $4,000 is cutting it down some
we shall look for the same kind OF
cut down in Maine week from neA'

Where, oh where, is that Vermont

Thirty thousand plurality doesn't re-

In 1894 the plurality was $4,000. In
1900 it was $4,000. In 1892 it was only
$1,000.

the Democrats lad the field to them

party might accomplish rather more
than usual; but as the Republicans be-
came really active this aspect wore
away and To-Day the Democratic tide
is receding. Some Democrats hoped

1t is merely necessary to say that
the rebate law was devised for the
express purpose of opening the great
Aroostook county and to add that 1t
has done its work in splendid fashion,
1t had the support of men OF all
parties at the time it was enacted.
1t has the same support now In the
counties which know its workings.
All Maine knows what the railroad
Aroostook knows that if Maine had
not helped rail construction the
garden spot of northern Maine would
be still an undeveloped region.
But public which has grown
weary listening to Democracy's
harping on the single string of rail-
road rebates can look into the future
with sigh of satisfaction. Within
the two years that will intervene be-
tween the present campaign and the
next the rebate period on the Bangor
