That d majority of the voters will
favor Lieutenant Governor George o.
Prouty Of Newport, republican candi-
date for governor, is generally ad-
mitted tonight, but the size of Prouty' s
majority and especially of his plurality
over James f. Burke of Burlington,
democrat, is matter of considerable
conjecture. Both the campaign man
ayers have fought hard this year. real
izing taat since Vermont is the first
state in the union to hold an election
this fall her attitude on national issues
viii have much bearing on the conduct
of the national campaign.
There is an added interest in the
election this year owing to the active
participation of the independence
league, whose candidate for governor,
Quimby S. Backus of Brandon, has
made a vigorous campaign.
There are six cities and 240 towns in
Vermont and at the election in 1904
all but four towns gave republican
pluralities. All the cities went repub-
lican. The total vote for governor in
1904 was: Bell, republican, 4S,113; Por-
ter, democrat, 1856.

which set the tongues Of gossips TO

Of SANDER was traced TO the fountain
head Of its original source.
During the week in which the murder
OF Mrs. Donohue occurred Ahlstedt was
, doing some carpentering work for Mrs.
Myers, who lives netX door TO Mrs
DOnOhue on the morning when Mrs.
Myers first learned of Mrs. DOnOhue's
disappearance she was struck with sur

Mrs. ". r. Green, the young woman
TO whom Ahlstedt spoke about finding
a locket belonging TO Mrs. DonOhue,
yesterday threw additional light on the
case.
~Ahlstedt always seemed to be eagerly
Interested in anything printed in the
papers about Mrs. DOnohue, and he
used 10 talk to me about her all the
time. Se used to say what a pretty
woman she was when she was dressed
lp. and once when I told him I didn't
think she was so extraordinary in ap-
pearance he said he thought she was
beautiful
He told me that he knew all about
her disappe more than
anybody else-but that IT was not right
20 talk about her, for il hurt Mr.. Donot
lue's feelings. He said he did not think
she had gone 10 Alaska. as many Of the
aefghbors then said. but he believed
hey would some day find her in
Europe.
For about three weeks after Mrs
Donohue disappeared he was working
around my house and he used TO talk to
me nearly all tie time. Whenever any
one would mention anything new about
the Donohue case he would beg them to
let him have the papers and he would
read the stories about her over and
over.
He told me once that he had little
window in his house through which he
watched Mrs. Donohue's house all the
time. He said he thought so much Of
her and thought she was such a pretty
woman that he liked to look At her
