THE WENDEN voTE-The anti
constitutionists of Wenden believe
that great injustice has been done
them in the published returns of
the late election. 1t was printed
that the Wenden vote stood twenty
eight for the constitution. That
was all right as far as it went but
no mention was made of the ten
negative votes. In view of the way
things went generally 10 to 2S is a
pretty good showing for the antis
and but very few bailiwicks made
better one. The Wenden antis are
entitled to shout for a square deal.
They worked hard enough for the
ten votes to entitle. them to recogni-
ton and are depending on The Re-
publican and the official canvass TO
set them right with President Taft
and the rest of the world.
