READ VICTORY
FOR TAFT
REPUBS. HOLD $4,000 PLUR-
Atty IN VERMONT IN
DICTATES TRIUMPH
IN NATION DEM
OCRATS HOPES
VAIN.

Vermont has given Republi-
can majority of $4,000, approx
mately, for the state ticket. If the
Green Mountain State maintains
her traditions and stands to her
reputation as perfect indicator
|of general results in November,
Taft and Sherman will carry the
nation in November by vote OF
approximately the same as that
given to Harrison and Reid in
1888.
The state election Tuesday
vas watched with the most in.
-ense interest by all of the ma
tional political figures. In the
minds of all but a few of them
the final reports on November's
election night were to be fore
to- by Tuesdays voting.
Whether the Republican plural
ity was to reach up to the land
slide figures of 1896, 1900 and
1901, or whether it was to drop
below the danger line of $4,000,
absorbed the attention of Repub-
leans everywhere. The sole
hope of the Democrats was that
Governor George H. Prouty's
lead for governor would be ma
terially less than $4,000.
George Herbert Prouity, OF
Newport, Republican, the mill
lionaire lumberman. was elected
governor of Vermont by a plur-
atty which indicated the success
of w. II. Taft in November.
Lieutenant Governor Prouty
carried the state by 2S,81S votes.
The Republicans would have
been satisfied with any number
above the fateful $4,000 mark. In
1884 and 1892 their plurality in
the September state election fell
below that figure and the Demo
Gratis elected their president two
months afterwards. Only 90
places are missing out of 246.
The result in Vermont was
awaited with ill-conceaied anxi-
ETY. by the Republican national
managers and by the Democratic
leaders with the fondest hopes.
Not since the war has the Sep
TENDER election in Vermont fail
ed to he perfect indication of
the result at the succeeding pres
idential election in November.
With superstitious regard the
party managers have scanned the
September figures on election
night from the rock-ribbed Re-
publican Green Mountain state,
and the subsequent campaign
plans have been accordingly
mapped out.

the most novel phase of brewery

the spirit moves them.
Letters are being sent out from
Indianapolis to various men
throughout the state asking them
to make list of the men in their
neighborhood who imbibe and, to
forward it under the seal of sec,
recy to headquarters at Indian
apohs.
Recognizing that IN certain IN
stances embarrassment might
come to those who report on the
bibulous propensfties of their
neighbors, a provision is inserted
in the circular letter OF instruc-
tons that the man forwarding a
list need not sign his own name.
The circular, which is as enter
tanning a piece of brewery liter
allure as has been seen i'll this
campaign. is as follows:
Dear Sir-We are perfecting

to enlist as many men as possible

to furnish work for the victims of en-.

and municipal government to estab.
lish such enterprises and that II they

Beatrice Gordon Acquitted.

quilted of the charge of numbering

jury went cut at $50, but did not COM
mence consideration of the case until
after supper. An agreement was
reached Immediately, and they were
ready to report before o'clock. But
two ballots were necessary, the first
standing eleven to one for acQuittal,
and the second unanimous.
Miss Gordon received the verdict
without manifestation Of emotion. She
remained at the county Jail with the
matron last night, but will go to her
sisters in Lafayette, Colorado, this
morning. She says she has no plans
for the future.
AS soon as the clerk had read the
verdict, Judge Greeley w. Whitford
astounded the jurors and the few spec.
tators by saying:
There are more murders committed
in the United States, gentlemen, than
in any other civilized country in the
world. and there are fewer convictions
and punishments for murder in the
United States than any country in the
world. 1t is worthy of reflection for
a government where the government
is by the people. whether life is secure
under such methods as ours.
"This verdict is not such verdict
as the court would have found In this
case had 1t been within it's province.
But you have found for acquittal and
the defendant is dismissed"

Improved Spring Wheat.

Prof. w. H. Olin of the Colorado
Agricultural college is particularly we'll
pleased over threshing results from
last summers grains. A ten-acre field
Of pedigreed Defiance wheat made
sixty-five bushels an acre and weighed
sixty-three pounds to the bushel. This
wheat goes back to the original De-
fiance discovered by Prof E. A. Blount,
formerly at the head of the agricul-
tural department of the college.
A four-ounce bottle Of pedigreed De-
fiance, which Professor Blount had
grown in his field nursery was
found at the experiment station in
1903. AS nearly as could be deter
mined this wheat had been grown
twelve years before. The entire bottle
full Of wheat was seeded. Three ker-
nels grew, one throwing up fourteen
spiles of wheat. This most desirable
plant was allowed to mature seed and
the others were destroyed.
From this plant. seeded in 1903, the
agricultural department has carefully
developed this years harvest consist
ing of several hundred bushels-the di-
rect progeny of one kernel Of Defiance
wheat. Professor Olin has planned to
distribute this wheat to the farmers of
Colorado who are growing spring
wheat, under ditch. In speaking of the
plan of distribution Professor Olin
says:
THE price to the farmer Is far be-
low the cost of producing this wheat,
since 1t has required constant care and
attention to maintain 1t absolutely
pure. Farmers who will sow this seed
on a clean well-DreDared seed he'd
should have enough pure. clean wheat
to seed the general field next year and
should use 1t to the exclusion OF all
other seed In 1909. With each sack
