White River Junction, VT, Sept. /
The Republicans defeated the Demo-
Gratis in the state election today by
over $4,000 Lieut.. Gov. George n
Prouty, who led the former ticket, re-
ceiving 41,432 votes, while James E.
Burke, of Burlington, his Democratic
opponent had 1885 votes with %
small towns missing These towns in
1904 gave Republican plurality Of
1889. The vote for the other candi-
dates for governor with the same
towns missing was:
Qumby S. Backus. Ind League,
1909; e. NJ Campbell, Pro, 1888; j. x.
Dunbar, Soc, $50.
The next Legislature will stand us
follows:
Senate. Republican, 30; Democrat l;
House. Republicans, 210; Democrats.
80; Independence League, 6,
At late hour tonight Lieut.. Cor.
Prouty claimed his election over
Burke by at least 10000 votes and
said that he was gratified at the re-
suit. as he believed was an indorse-
ment Of the administration of Gov.
Proctor and desire for continuance
of his policies.
The Republican plurality of $4,000
was about 1000 below the average for
the September election on Presidential
years, except in 1884 and in 1892. On
these years it was less than $4,000
and this was followed by a Demo-
cratic national victory. 1t was this
fact that gave the Republicans much
satisfaction at the outcome of tho
election. viewed from a national
standpoint.
Whether the 1000 or more votes
cast for the Independence League can
didates came from the Democrats or
the Republicans ranks can only BE
conjectured, although tonight it look
ed as if the Democrats had been The
sufferers The total vote for the
three minor parties was considerably
larger than in previous years but the
gain was wholly by the Independence
League The Prohibition and Social
list vote fell off.
One of the features of the election
was the large number of local con-
tests which resulted in decided in
crease of Democrats in the Legisa-
ture and the election of six Independ-
ence League candidates to the lower
branch The Democratic managers,
including Mayor Burke, declined to
comment tonight on the result of The
election.

"a watch may need cleaning when

This sometimes accounts for great
deal of misunderstanding between the
owner of new watch and the watch
maker to whom it is l@ught for eE-
animation Furthermore. a watch
which has never been worn may need
cleaning.
"A common reason is that Oil in q
watch may have dried up around the
pivot and become sticky, thus cruising

tirely. in which case of course it needs
not only cleaning, but the addition Of
fresh oil
'.The oil which is considered best
for watches Is made from the pOrpoise

a most disagreeabIe OdOr and have to
be treated chemically before being
used.

the head left on, IS hung IN the hot

volatile parts of the oil are naturally

oil collected is said to remain nuid and

metal for as long as ten years.

CHAIPEOPLE AND EVENTS

Recital at College Friday Night.
The recital which introduced to
Columbians Miss Clara Clemens, the
talented young contralto, and brought
TO ua again that brilliant violinist,
Miss Marie Nichols, was a beautiful
occasion, distinguished by the charm
and finish of its program. Miss Glenn
ems is competent young artist whose
voice shows careful and intelligent
study and has a wide range, with d
rich sombre quality, especially in the
lower register. The aria from Sc
miramide was given with fine effect,
and the final number, a waltz song
with violin obligato, was particularly
pleasing. Miss Nichols won golden
opinions from US three years ago and
her appearance on Friday evening
served to strengthen and rekindle the
enthusiasm she aroused then. Her
playing displays a beauty of tone, a
dash and admirable technique that
place her high in the ranks of young
violinists. Then, too, one feels so
sure of her, of the skill and perfect
EGSulL, anu IulS 5uICuCSS div a
brings such satisfaction to an audi
ence. She is an unusually handsome
woman, whose magnetism has its
part in her triumphs. Mr.. Charles
Edmund Work, the accompanist of
the evening, received a generous
share of appreciation for his excel
lent work.
AS the daughter of Mark Twain,
Miss Clemens excites interest apart
from her musical gifts and attractive
personality. Her girlhood was spent
in Europe, and before entering upon
ner vocal studies she was a pupil Of
Leschetisky in Vienna. She declares
her visit to the South will not be
complete unless it embraces trip
on the Mississippi, associated so in
Cerestingly with her fathers early
life. The party seemed delighted
with their Southern tour, and COlum-
bus in its spring loveliness especial
Iy it's wealth of roses now at the
height of their glory, claimed a word
of ardent admiration.
