White River Junction, VT. Sept. g.
Complete returns from the state cleo.
ton in Vermont on the vote for gov
ernor received Wednesday night show
the following result:
George H. Prouty (Rep), 1921.
James E. Burke (Dem.), 1898.
Quimby S. Backus Independence
league), 1859.
Eugene M. Campbell (Pro.), s2e.
J. H. Dunbar tsoc.), 47s.
The total vote of all parties was
66.747, and Prouty's plurality over
Burke was 1896.
The decrease in the Republican vote
7 amounted to six. per cent. and in the
!. Democratic vote to three per cent.
The decrease was surprising in view
of the numerous local contests at
which the voting was quite heavy.
Political leaders were inclined to look
upon the returns Wednesday as indi-
cations that the voters were somewhat
apathetic in regard to national issues
/ but not to a marked degree.
The incoming legislature will have
at least one Democratic senator, about
80 Democratic representatives and at
least six members of the Independ.
ence league in the lower house. Four
years ago the, house stood 206 Re-
publicans and So Democrats, SO that
the Republican majority the coming
year will be practically unchanged
and will insuref the election of Re-
publican successor to the late Senator
Redfield Proctor, probably in the per.
| son of his son.
