REPUBLICAN, MAJORITY 81.

Written statements from las repre-
sentatives elected this month to the
lower house of the state legislature
state that the signers are regular Re-
publicans. There is no reason to think
they will not support the regular Re-
publican ticket These statements have
been received and compiled by Guy w.
Bailey of Essex Junction, secretary of
state, and will be used in the manual
of the legislature. All of them were
made, following the election of the rep
resentatives.
OF the other representatives elected
81 term themselves Democrats, one an
Independent Democrat, % Progressives,
seven Progressive Republicans three in
dependent Republicans, one an independ-
ent Progressive, one an Independent, and
one as a Prohibtionist.
Four representatives are unheard
from. In three towns there was no cleo
ton and one election Is disputed.
These returns, Republican leaders es-
innate, insure the Republican ticket a
majority of 81 in the lower house, this
of course means the election Of the full
Republican ticket from the governor
ship down.
The representatives not heard from
are John e. Weeks of Middlebury, Re-
publican; Cheaton, of Hancock, politics
not known; and the representatives
from Coventry and Mount Tabor.
The three towns not electing repre-
sentatives are Washington, Albany and
Middlesex. The contested election is in
Guildhall, between Walter l.. Ball, Re-
publican, and Daniel r. Kullum, Dem

An Era Of Soup Houses.

Alton b. Parker, in notifying Govern
or Marshall of his nomination for the
vice presidency spoke of the faithful
sons OF Democracy who were proud OF
the history of their party, covering half
century of achievement. 1t certainly
will strike the ordinary voter, who is at
all acquainted with the history of the
Democratic party for the past half CEN
fury, that the man who can be proud
OF 1t hasn't much sense of proportion.
The greater part Of that time the Demo-
cratic party has been spending its time
In making idle and weak protests against
the party whose deeds form the most re-
splendent period In American history
The few years that they were In power,
and could do something to relieve the
country will always be remembered as
the era OF soup houses and Coxey ar
miles. disaster and incompetency. II

party will carefully avoid any reference

as sort of preparation for the spring
contests. Three of their good players
have been lost through graduation and
removal-Howe. Batcheider and Good

Saturday was played with the Baptist
Sunday school boys of Brattleboro and
was one sided affair. Kidder, who has
always played first base for the sem
mary boys, but who is a very COOL all
round player, pitched and gave a very
good account of himself, the Brattle-
boro boys being unable to get tally,
while the locals secured IA runs.

DANCING IN THE NUDE HELD
MORAL AND ARTISTIC

BERLIN, March, 30.-The Partisan
dancer, Adoree Villany, who dances
without clothing, and who was
charged with giving an immoral per
Torrance, was prosecuted by the Mu-
inch police in connection with Sc
ries of performances given last No
vember before an invited audience of
painters, sculptors and academicians.
The final performance was broken up
by the police, who invaded the theater
and carried off the dancer.
The case ended in the acquittal OF
Mile. Villany and her theatrical mana
gers. The jury held that Nile. Vii
lany was serving the higher interests
of art" and the question of an offense
against public morals was therefore
irrelevant.
Half a dozen of the most eminent
artists of Munich testified of the art
istic satisfaction they derived from
watching Mile. Villany.
Professor KaulbGch, the most cele
brated German portrait painter, de
scribed the dancers performances as
thoroughly artistic and respectable.
The professor took his wife to the
performance and she, too, found it un
Objectionable
Professor Peterson, president o
the Munish Artists society, said tina
he would be happy when such per
formances could be given for tn
masses instead of to select artist
audience. Such an advance in cul
ture would be a universal blessing, HI
said, and public morals would not b.
iopardized by giving the public an OF
portunity to admire the beauty of tn
human figure.
