THE VERMONT ELECTION.
Result of Victory Indicates Undi-
unfinished Majorities for Republi-
cans in November.

S0hn IL NONOH1DCI
Raymond, the Washington CORE
spondent of the Chicago Tribune, who
is regarded as one OF the most reliable
political writer's in the country, regards
the result of the Vermont election as
presaging absolute victory for Mr.. Taft
In a recent special dispatch to the
Tribune Raymond said:
Practically speaking, the result of
Tuesdays election is more favorable to
the Republicans than they had any
right to expect, because there has been
M determined campaign for the purpose
OF making good showing in Vermont
have been put on the stump there this
year
There is, Of course, slight falling
of in the vote Of both Republicans and
Democrats, as compared with four
years ago, but this was entirely to be
expected, because at that time Roose
vet was the nominee OF his party for
president, and the result in Vermont in
that year was merely a forerunner of
tie tremendous landslide which took
place al, over the country.
AS 1t is, the plurality Of over $4,000
ut yesterdays election is taken TO be
an indication that, while the campaign
this year is not to be a sensational one
the election of Mr.. Taft is foreshadowed
by safe majority.
eff Vermont can be taken as an in
dex Of the condition Of public opinion
throughout the country 1t means that
In the November election, whatever
strength the Independence League de-
velops In the other States will come
almost exclusively from Bryan and not
from Taft
"The Vermont Democrats, while few
IN number, are extremely rockribbed in
their sentiments. They make a point of
going to the polls year after year and
carry on a hopeless fight merely be-
cause they want TO set good example
to the Democrats In other States. In
1896 they repudiated Bryan and the free
silver heresy, and they did 1t largely
by staying at home on election day.
The result was plurality Of a little
over 10000 for Mckinley, which has
beer a record In Vermont elections. In
the State elections of 1900 and 1904
the Democratic vote was practically
stationary"

PARIS Cables.
The War Of Words That Comes When
They Block Each Other.

They Block Each Other.
There is no more entertaining way to
spend an idle hour la Paris than to get
into a taxicab and Instruct the driver
to 90 along some street where you will
be reasonably sure to get into jam or
to bump against another cab. The
charm of the experience is, of course,
enhanced by your ignorance of what
the cabbies say.
Should your driver merely Craze the
wheels of another cab he will turn on
his seat and yell meliiluously at the
other driver. who in turn will shout
back an assortment Of vowels. But
the best is quarrel between two cab
bies obstructing each others way

Unfortunately about this time the
jam is untangled and yon are allowed

that your cabby owes duty to you
and must convey you to your destina-
ton you know by his facial express
sion that he would climb down and
get that other cabby and muss up the
city with him.
He contents himself with turning
about and making face in the direc-
ton of his enemy and of going through
the motion Of splitting at him.
Then he says "Yoopr' to the horse,

THE ISSUE AND PARTY RECORD.

(From Sherman's Speech Of Accept
ance.)
The oyershadowing issue OF the cam
paign really is: Shall the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt be APP
proved, shall party of demonstrated
capacity in administrative affairs be
continued In power, shall the reins OF
government be placed in experienced
hands. or do tho people prefer to trust
their destinies to an aggregation OF
experimental malcontents and theor-
lists. whose only claim to a history Is
party name they pilfered?
With a record Of four decades OF
wise legislation; two score years OF
faithful administration offering its
fulfilled pledges as a guaranty of its
promises for the future, the Republi-
can party appeals TO the people and,
with full confidence In their wisdom
and patriotism awaits the rendition OF
the November verdict.
