Taft and Sherman Win by Large
Majority
CARRY BRYAN'S HOME STATE
Result is 322 to 161 Electoral Votes With Large Falling
OFF in Popular Democratic Vote In South.
Lead Mckinley and Roose-
velt Popular Vote.

The national republican ticket won
at the poilsEyesterday by the largest
popular vote ever given and is ahead of
the Mckinley and Roosevelti vote of
eight and four years ago. Taft will
have 322 electoral votes and Bryan
161. Taft gets all the states that
Roosevelt got with the exception of
Nevada, Oklahoma and Missouri, and
whilesTnonesofs the ''solid south" went
for Taft the. democratic popular vote
was cut.
New York, Indiana and Ohio the
doubtful states all turned up good re-
publican majorities, New York giving
100000. Ohio $4,000 and Indiana $4,000
majority. Many of the other states
considered doubtful by the democrats
came out with overwhelming republi
can majorities Massachusetts, went
for Taft over 100000 strong and it was
only by the skin of his teeth that
Bryan carried Boston proper. Greater
New York went Bryan by only bare
1000, while Parker four years ago
had 35, 900 majority. In short the
whole thing was landslide for Taft.

was not so bad-but Chairman Mack

Miss Verne in Boston.

Adela Verne who recently went from
this vicinity to Boston gave recital
there. The following is taken from a
Boston paper.
Miss Adela Verne. an English pianist,
played yesterday afternoon in the JOr-
dan Hall and for the first time in Bos-
ton. There was deeply interested
and demonstrative audience. The pro-
gramme was as follows: Bach-Liszt,
organ prelude and fugue in A minor /;
Mendelssohn, Scherzo; Couperin.
Lies Barricades Mysterieuses" and
"Le Moucheron :" Handel, Minuet /;
Scarlatti, sonata, A major; Rubin
stein. Staccato etude; Chopin, Sonata,
op. 35; Alkan, ''The Wind;;". Albert
Elkus, Barcarolle, op. 1. No. 4; List,
etude No. 2, F minor and Hungarian
Rhapsody, No. 2. Miss Verne has been
praised in London for several years.
She has~played in cities of the Europe
concerts on the Pacific coast, so that
she did not come to Boston wholly
strange. But a London reputation is
not unquestioned here. nor is it neces-
sarily magnet in Boston box Office.
They that had the pleasure of hearing
Miss Verne Yesterday were agreeably
surprised, for she has many excellent
qualities. Miss Verne is a brilliant
player. but she is more than this. It

woman for feats Of mechanism. These
feats are expected, taken as matter
of course. Bat there is an individual

A limited amount of snow and rain
has fallen the past week and the i'm
mediate serious aspect Of the dry con-
ditio. is relieved but no heavy rain
has yet fallen and water systems need
days of rain to insure them against
failure this winter during the extreme
cold weather, there being no moisture
in the ground, and those who have
hadsoccasion to dig into the earth say
the dirt is dusty dry for several feet
below the surface. Saturday and Sum
day were very winter-like there being
about an inch of snow Sunday and
some snow fell on both days. Sunday
was bitterly cold day, the thermome-
tiers registering FROM 23 to 2S above
zero.

DEER SEASON DISCUSSION

nor and the hunters all are in doubt
when one can legally shot deer. lie
gally and in short however the matter
stands as follows at this hour:
The open season on deer DOES NOT
open on Monday morning. but DOES
OPEN on all other game on which it
was closed. It is now expected how
ever that the governor or the legisla-
ture will between this hour and then
fix it so the season will begin Monday.
There was misunderstanding in the
matter when the postponement proc
lamation was issued and the inten-
tion was to open the season on deer
Monday morning but technically the
law passed was such that another
proclamation must be issued. This
was not discovered till to-day.

FOURTH WEEK
The Legislative Mill Has Commenced te
Grind. Several Bills Have Passed and
as Many More Have Been Killed.
A Spirited Fight over Ad-
journment.

Attention has been divided the past
week between deer laws and the mat
ter OF adjournment, with honors about
equals The argument on deer laws
was however confined to the house,
but both branches of the Assembly
figured in the matter Of adjournment.
The 'curfew" deer law passed the
house after some very brilliant at
tempts tn smother it. This law pro-
vides that a buck or doe, except spot
ted fawn, may be killed during the
open, season, but no deer lshall be
killed between sunset and sunrise.
There was but little objection to the
daylight restrictions in the bill. but
great deal of sentiment and emotion
was shown by those who would protect
the does. 1t is doubtful If the bill gets
through the senate. although it is rec
commended by the Joint committee on
Fish and Game. There are some in
the senate who are bitterly opposed to
the measure and will try hard to kill
it orsamend it by making it apply to
bucks only. The other measure, which
was killed, provided apenalty for care
lessly shooting human being. There
was considerable brilliant oratory both
for and against this bill. Some MEM
bers thought it was severe ard that af-
ter one hunter had shot another he was
sure to be so sorry and broken up about
1T that no further punishment was
needed. One member thought that if
the bill became law accidents would
not be reported but the guilty one
would try to run away and leave his
companion to die alone. That would
be adding insult to injury. The vote
was taken by division of the house
and the bill was killed. The bill was
introduced by Howe of Bennington.
The leading opponent was Howe of st.
EJohnsbury. Thus. ended the deer legis-
lation of the week.
The House passed the new trustee
bill which provides that creditor shall
h0ad only such sum as. is in excess of
$40. If this bill goes through the SEN
ate and becomes law | can see where
it Will be wise for the merchant and
grocer to put his business on cash basis
at once and lot Of present oItstand-
ing bills will never be collected.
The only bill of general Importance
to pass both houses during the week
is one that provides that persons con-
victed Of n1isdemeanor and sentenced
for not more than one year shall be
confined in county jail instead of being

high school, stating that five out Of
the six teachers in the schools of the
town were graduates of this institu-
tion and that they We're frst-class
teachers. Rev. Mr.. Dukeshire was
called upon for word as parent.
He said the school alone nor the home
alone can bring about certain desir-
able qualities in pupil but that the
two must cooperate to obtain the de-
sired results. Mr.. Stannard then spoke
word for the teachers. He said they
welcomed criticism as the school is
your (the public's) business. He fur
ther said the school needed more man
influence and cited the instance where
man would do more running after a
$75 colt than he would give attention
to the schooling of his boys and girls.
After another selection by the or
chestra the company adjourned to an
other room where four of the young
ladies of the high school served dainty
refreshments of cookies and punch.
The building was lighted from top to
bottom during the whole evening and
everyone improved the opportunity to
inspect it. No criticisms of severe
nature were heard in fact everyone
spoke words Of praise. With this mag
nificent new building and the earnest
invitation from the members of the
faculty and members of the school
board let US give more attention te
our schools.

The teachers reception at the school
