THE VERMONT ELECTION.

Result Of Victory Indicates Undi-
minished Majorities for Republi-
cans in November.
Raymond, the Washington CORE
gpondent Of the Chicago Tribune, who
is regarded as one of the most reliable
political writer's In the country, regards
presaging absolute victory for Mr.. Taft.
I'm a recent special dispatch to the
Tribune Raymond said:
practically speaking, the result OF
Tuesdays election Is more favorable to
the Republicans than they had any
right to expect, because there has been
M determined campaign for the purpose
OF making good showing in Vermont
and few Of the big guns Of the party
have been put on the stump there this
year.
There is, Of course, slight falling
OF in the vote of both Republicans and
Democrats, as compared with four
years ago, but this was entirely to be
expected, because at that time Roose
welt was the nominee of hia party for
president, and tie result IN Vermont in
that year was merely foPerunner Of
tie tremendous landslide which took
place al, over the country.
"As It is, the plurality Of over $4,000
ut yesterdays election Ii taken to be
an indication that, while the campaign
this year Is not to be sensational one,
the election Of Mr.. Taft rs foreshadowed
by safe majority.
"If Vermont can be taken as an in
dex of the condition Of public opinion
throughout the country, 1t means that
In the November election, whatever
strength the Independence League de-
velops In the other States will come
almost exclusively from Bryan and not
from Taft
"The Vermont Democrats, while few
In number, are extremely rockribbed In
their sentiments They make a point of
going to the polls year after year and
carry on hopeless fight merely be-
cause they want TO set good example
to the Democrats in other States. In
1895 they repuf lated Bryan and the free
silver heree7, and they did it largely
by stav.lg at home On election day
The result wee a plurality Of a little
over 10000 Tor Mckinley. which has
been a raccrd n Vermont elections At
the State elections Oh 1850 and t9Ci
the Democratic vote was practically
stationary"

antelope. Most of them

Twice, in scanning the country narrow

were seen that had not discovered me.
In each case the horse was at once left
to Craze, while started off after the
game, nearly a mile distant For the
first half mile could walk upright or
go along half STOPPING; then. as the
distance grew closer, had to crawl on
all tours and keep behind any little
broken bank, or take advantage of a
small, dry watercourse; and toward
the end work my way fiat on my face,
wriggling like serpent, using every
stunted sagebrush or patch of cactus
as a cover, bareheaded under the blaZ-
ing sun. In each case, after nearly an
hours irksome, thirsty work, the stalk

In the other instance, while still at

the sharp barking alarm-note of one
of the pronghorn; the whole band in

They were Il very long way Off; but,
seeing it was hopeless to try to get
nearer l rested my rifle over little
mound of earth and fired. The dust
came up in d puff to one side of the
nearest antelope; the whole band took
few jumps and turned again; the
second shot struck at their feet, and
they went off like so many race horses,
being missed again as they ran. l sat

Upon His Record of PFivats Con

Upon His Record of Private Con-
duct and Public Service.
To dispose of questions which should
not be asked as speedily as possible lat
US say that MIR. Taft is member Of
the Unitarian church. That wes the
church of his parents, and he has never
separated himself from it. His wife,
however, is an Episccpalian. and h.
worships more often beside her in her
church.
These are the facts, which are utter
~ and absolutely unimDortant. The
matter of mans religion has no right
full place In consideration of his fitness
for the presidency. The constitution
Of the nation, ordained and established
ITO secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity," expressly
places the very suggestion of such
thought outside the pale Of patriotism.
No words can be clearer than these
from our country's fundamental law,
"No religious test ever shall be re-
CURED as a qualification to any Office
or public trust undsr ths United
States"
The numerous queries about Mr.
Taft's religious belief shows simply the
extent to which his enemies have gone
10 rouse some preJudics against him.
Since there was no spot upon his whole
clean record OF private conduct and
public service to which they could
point to Taft's dstriment thsy display

depth Of petty. cowardly, contemplate
attack that might do him harm

out being accused of being unfriend-

that every person had right to do

of envying them, would rejoice when

He considered himself an optimist

ears open to the sorrows of the
world, that would not discourage
him from working towards the tri-
umph of Righteousness.
Everywhere he travelled he saw
signs of regeneration and progress.
Speaking of the so-called yellow

peaching the Almighty to fear the
