governor, congressman and members
Of the state legislature which viii
choose at the next session a successor
to the late Senator Redfeld Proctor. As
the state has never wavered in its 10y

of Lieutenant Governor Prouty OF New

that the interest in the election centers
in the size of his plurality over for

Astute politicians profess to be able
to obtain from the plurality figures In
Vermont an indication of tho trend OF

whenever the republican plurality for
governor at the fall election preceding
that for president has dropped below

cessful In the national contest. The to-
tai vote for governor In Vermont for
the past 32 years has average about 67,-
ono. running as high as 7o.6s4 In 1880,
when Farnum was elected over Phelps
after particularly warm campaign.
The republican plurality, however has
nuctuated from 1856 In 1892 to 86,a30
In 1895 In odd years the plurality has
been somewhat less due principally to
local issues, The following Is a sum-
