TOTAL VOTE FOR pR.smDENT

The total vote of candidates for
president cast at the last ele etion has
just been known. The last STAKE to file
its official vote was Michigan fhe
total vote shows the following result:
Taft 7,637,67 Bryan $685., 1922
Debs, 447 $751; Chafn, PAL 1852; His
gen, s3,1s6; Watson, 1881; Gilhaus.
l5,421. The total for all the c:tndi-
dates was 14,s25,239, exceeding by
1,341 ,53l the vote of 1904.
1t will be seen by the above that
the democrats were almost million
and a half short of electing their
three-times canidate, this in spite of
the fact that he was accorded record
breaking demonstrations during the
Denver convention. This in spite of the
fact that Glenwood admirers of the
democratic leader sent him a coyote
skin and hoped to deliver him the skin
of an elephant in November.

FOR CLEAN MILK
Attorney General Takes Hand In the
Campaign Against Filth.

Brattleboro, Feb. 1.-THE campaign
which the state board of health has
been waging the past two years
against dirty milk has been successful
to marked degree. but there appears
to be certain proportion of dealers
who are not undertaking to comply
with the statutes covering the subject,
and for that reason the board OF health
has enlisted the services of the. attor-
ney generals department Attorney
General c. c. Fits sent letter today
to the states attorney OF each county
In the state, of which the following
is a copy:
THE state board of health called my
attention to numerous instances where
the milk taken from milk dealers at
random through the state shows quite
a quantity of filth. The presence of
filth in milk brings II plainly within
the letter of the pure food law, 1t
would seem. In view OF the repeated
occurrences OF this kind it seems nee
essary to start general campaign
against it. You will, from time to
time, get information from the state
laboratory of hygiene as to the analy-
sis of milk taken from dealers in your
county. This letter is to urge you to
Immediately prosecute such offenders
as vigorously as possible, so that 1t
will be generally understood that the
prosecuting officers mean to follow
to swift conclusion all infractions of
hn 10 In, q, orff
AS showing the Improvement which
has been brought about by the state
board Of health, Dr. Henry d. Holton
of Brattleboro, secretary says that the
first general analysis showed that two
thirds OF the milk sold in Vermont by
dealers was dirty, while the last an
alysis, made in December showed that
two-thirds was clean. But very few
samples were below the standard in
other respects.
The greatest improvement was
made In Burlington. Analysis OF milk
taken from dealers In that city In
January, 1907, showed that SO per
cent OF the milk was dirty, while out
of twenty-six specimens last analysed
only one was dirty The new city
charter is somewhat responsible for
the Improvements there, as 1t gives the
authorities power TO issue licenses to
milk dealers and to revoke them for
cause.
The board has issued to dealers a
set OF fifty rules relative to stables.
COWS, milking. utensils. and the care
OF milk. which. II followed. 1t is be-
lieved, will entirely do away with the
nuisance of dirty milk.

contempt.
II became obvious that department

might be represented in volumes of re-

encounter, the burdens 1t was reQuir-

was by default, no ticket being placed
in the field against the Taft candid

100000 A YEAR FOR EDISON
Inventor Makes Settlement With Nov
ina Picture Combination.

ing Picture Combination.
Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE legal
wars which Thomas e. Edison, the in
ventor has participated in with NOV
ing picture machine manufacturers
and dealers for the past nine years,
have been settled, through the forma-
ton in Buffalo of an $S,000,000 COM
bination to control the entire moving
picture business of the world. The
moving picture business of the coun-
try which this combination controls
represents an investment, 1t is said, oil
s50. 200, 900 with 1900 show places.
In addition to the manufacturing
and show places the combination Will
control what is termed 100 rental pla-
ces where films are leased. A COM
plete understanding has been reached
by which Mr.. Edison will receive from
the combination 100000 a year royal
ty in return for which he is to permit
no other concerns to use any OF his
patents, without which films cannot be
made. The manufacturers claim the
combination is justified, in that with
out the Edison patents manufacturers
are helpless and 1t was necessary tc
protect the investments.
