over the country was for Tilden. as
Hayes received only one vote to the
good in the electoral college. In 1880
we see the Republican plurality in
Vermont above the $50 mark, and
Garfield, Republican, was elected in
November. In 1884 it fell below, and
Cleveland held the Democratic reins
for four years. In 1888 it went above
and Harrison stepped into the White
House as a Republican ruler. In 1892
it dropped below, and Cleveland re-
ceived his second term. In 1896 the
Republican plurality in September was
the highest ever known, and William
Mckinley was elected, and again
elected in 1900. The last national
campaign, which put Roosevelt in the
chair, was anticipated in Vermont by
a plurality of 30,668.
Prouty has just been elected by a
plurality of $4,000, which the Repub-
1icans claims indicates a safe margin
for Taft in November, while the Dem
ocrats insist that owing to local con-
ditions the plurality was piled and
that this year, Vermont is not the safe
criterion it has been in the past.
The new governor of Vermont
comes of 6. family of Yankees and is a
native of Vermont. He has held many
offices of trust in the state and is
looked upon as a strong, conscientious
man who will fill the gubernatorial
chair with honor to his state.

AMERICAN PIANOS LEAD.
Almost Total German Importation
Comes From Here.

Washington, Sept. 5.-American in
struments lead all foreign pianos in
Germany, according to a report from
Consul Norton of Chemnitz, as the re-
suit of an inquiry at the instance or
this government. Germany not only
covers to a large extent her own needs
in the way of musical intruments but
also exports them in large quantities,
but the imported pianos come chiefly
from the United States, which sends to
80 tons of imported pianos.
France, however, LEADS IN the i'm
ports of piano parts in Germany.
American piano manufacturers are
effecting annual sales of $4,000 in
the empire and the enormous demands
for pianos in the United Kingdom,
Australia, Argentina, Russia and else
where are cited as indicating the best
fields for meeting German competition
in other foreign lands.

tract so much attention nationally as in
Vermont. A curious precedent here
prevails, for, with but one exception
since the war, Vermont has proven
itself correct thermometer of po-
litical feeling over the country. Twen-
ty-fve thousand plurality is the zero
point, and in the past just as the Re-
publican plurality in Vermont has
gone above or fallen below 25. 900 so
has the national campaign elected a
Republican or a Democratic president.
In 1876 the Republican plurality in
September fell below the $4,000 mark,
and this affords the only exception to
the rule, for Hayes, Republican, was
elected president. The Democrats,
however, claim that the popular vote

IN TOWN
FOR GOVERNOR Wis.
IT'S WENATCHEE TODAY
WILL GET MANY SECOND
CHOICE VOTES.

John D. Atkinson, candidate for
governor on the republican ticket, is
in the city today for the purpose of
looking after things politically. At
kinson has served a term as state
auditor and a term as state attorney
general In both instances he has
made success.
His work in his present position
has been such as to call forth much
favorable comment all over the
state. He is recognized as one of
the cleanest men that has occupied
a position in the state house While
it is recognized that the fight for first
choice is between Mead and Mcbride,
Atkinson is going to poll heavy
second choice vote. This is espe-
cially true on the Sound where he
is best known.
Atkinson is able and straightfor-
ward. 1t is probable that the great
bulk of the second choice votes in
this county will go to John D. At
kinson, and those who vote that way
may well feel assured that they have
voted for man who is well able to
fill the position with credit to him
self and to the state.

Nominee Taft today addressed a

the southern people to break away

nation. He said, Everybody hav-

republicans have taken many steps
for the development Of the south.
The reason the south has so little in-

SALOON men
LINE UP
TACOMA ROYAL ARCH PLEDGE
1900 VOTES TO MCBRIDE
PLAN TO DEFEAT MEAD.

The speech made a few days ago
by Governor Mead at Hoquiam be.
fore the Anti-Saloon League has
stirred things up politically, and has
done more than any other one thing
to settle definitely the issue in this
campaign.
A report from Tacoma says:
i Pledged to deliver 1900 votes to
Henry Mcbride TO rgovernor rather
than contribute $1,000 in cash to his
campaign fund, Knights of the Roy
al Arch, the state saloonkeepers' or
ganization, tonight at their regular
meeting not only endorsed the can
didacy of Mcbride, but went further
in the endorsing business. The liquor
men of Tacoma indorsed John D. At
kinson as their second choice candi-
date for governor. Upwards of 100
liquor men were present.
During the past week emissaries of
Mcbride have been in consultation
with the liquor men of Tacoma and
lining them up for Governor. Since
Mead and Cosgrove have publicly
made known their position on local
option the liquor interests of Tacoma
and the state have been busy lining
up their forces.
The only deduction that saloon
men could make of the endorsement
of Atkinson as second choice was that
by voting for Mcbride and Atkinson
they would not be contributing to
the nomination of either Mead or
CosgrOve.
Great effort was made to prevent
any leak of the proceedings, ana
many saloon men of Seattle and Spo-
kane have lined up for Mcbride for
governor and Ellis Morrison for Heu-
tenant governor.
Saloon men say they favor Nc
Bride because they feel that by his
election their interests would be BEN
Gifted.
