HOW VERMONT's VERDICT IS RE-
GARDED,

The newspapers of other States arc
gradually reaching somewhat clearer
conceptions Of the Significance Of the re-
suit Of Vermont's election than ut first
prevailed. Tho New York Tribune for
example. sums up the situation as fol-
lows:
The falling OFF In the republican vote
OF 1910, due also largely to local causes,
affords an equally unsatisfactory basis
for predicting tho loss of the House Of
Representatives by the party in power.
Thee was good deal Of complaint
about machine dictation in the last re-
publican State convention, and the
nominee for Governor. Dr. John A. Mead,
was opposed by number of republican
newspapers His democratic rival IL

cratic gains and considerable republican

this year over national issues. They are
satisfied with the record of tho Taft adj

Congress were reelected by q Joint
plurality larger than that OF DR.. Mead
and presumably about as largo az tho
average for midterm year. We do not
think. therefore. that the Vermont re-
suit can fairly DO construed as an In

PLURALITY ELECTIONS.

The considerable number of pro-
1racted contests over the election of
town representatives, that have oc-
CURED the past week, has led to re-
vival of the demand for the substitu-
tion Of a plurality provision for the
law requiring majority vote for an
election. Tho st. Albans Messenger
says In this connections
THE increased number Of democrats
elected to the General Assembly o.
Tuesday Is mainly due to the law re-
curing majority to elect Given a
contest at a republican caucus, a dis
Gruntled and revengeful unsuccessful
candidate and Il united democracy and
the result VIII pretty nearly always be
democratic representative. This Is
one OF our laws that tho Legislature
will do well to look into"
We have been inclined to favor the
proposed change from majority to
plurality elections. but the more we
think Of 1t the greater Is our doubt
whether this substitution would pre-
vent tho election ot democratic rep
resontatives In strongly republican
towns like Jericho and Hinesburg for
example. particularly where no:rina-
ton papers are substituted for party
caucuscs. It would still be possible 10
induce more than one republican to
run, and II looks to us as though the
more fact that a majority was not
necessary to elect, might lead 10 an
Increase in this tendency, for a man

VERMONT AS An INDEX.

There was really no reason why the
election In Vermont this year should
have been awaited with such marked
interest all over the country as was
manifested. Conditions wholly local
shaped the contest over the election
of state officers, ana there has never
been any question about the election
of republican congressman In our
State. In spite of this fact President
Taft, republican and democratic lead
ers and newspapers generally through
out the country, and even the New
York stock market have laid great
stress on tho election results in the
Green Mountain state. The New York
Post Of September said:
Whoever may have supposed that to-
days financial markets would respond
with an outburst of agitation to the
ovcrhanging Vermont election news
and to the $4,000 900 drop in the bank
surplus during the stock exchange
