Lessons Of the Election.

Failure of the people to elect
governor of Vermont is so rare that
our people can not expect to keep
posted as to what happens in such an
emergency in all its details. The
suggestion has been made that the
Legislature might go outside OF any
of the candidates for governor in
Tuesdays election for governor and
select a new man for the position.
The constitution of Vermont pro
vides explicitly in article nine of the
amendments as to the manner in
which the failure of the people to
elect a governor and various other
State officers shall be made good as
follows: IF, at any time, there shall
be no election by the freeman of gov
ernor," and other State officers
named, "the Senate and the House
of Representatives shall, by joint
ballot, elect to fill the Office, not
filled by the freemen as aforesaid.
one of the three candidates for such
Office, if there be so many, for whom
the greatest number of ballots shall
have been returned"
Mr.. Fletcher having received
greater number of votes than any
other candidate for governor, he is
included in the three from whom the
Legislature must select the next gov
ernor. Inasmuch as the Senate will
be practically a solid republican body
and the House is likely to contain not
over thirty progressives and forty
five democrats out of total of 246,
leaving a republican strength of 10
or so in the House to be added to the
practically thirty republicans in the
Senate, there is no question about
the election of Mr.. Fletcher as the
next governor, and equal certainty
pertains to the election of the other
candidates on the State republican
ticket
The republicans of the Legislature
are thus in a position to shape the
whole policy of the party for the COM
ing two years, inasmuch as a meas
ure can be passed over the governors
veto by a majority OF one, and In
view Of the experience of the party
tea years ago and at the last session
as well as this year, 1t is entirely
safe to say that various tax reforms
and other measures demanded will
be taken up early in the session and
pushed.
Inasmuch as the results show
plainly that Mr.. Roosevelt with his
usual keenness on the political scent
took advantage of local dissatisfac-
ton to push national issues to the

Two years ago 1t was thought that
Governor John A. Mead would be the
last Civil war veteran to be governor
of any state, and il is therefore in
teresting to note that the Republicans
of Connecticut have just nominated
a veteran for governor, John P. Stud
ley of New Haven. Like Governor
Mead, Mr.. Studley was a private
soldier and has had his own way to
make in the world The veterans of
the civil war are getting old, but
there are thousands of them yet who
are strong and virile and able to hold
their own in the struggles of life, and
the fact speaks strongly for the vi
tality of the American people.

crat, received Sill votes in the first

with that of four years ago, but it

may be called.
In Vermont the splendid policies
enunciated in the republican platform
will be written into statute law and
faithfully fulfilled under Governor
Fletcher, and the Republican party of
the Green Mountain State will again
set the pace for the nation.
The Republican party in Vermont,
as in the nation, will emerge from the
clouds that now envelop it. stronger
and cleaner, and in every way better
prepared to stand as the bulwark

ness and social and industrial justice,

front in Vermont at a time when ii
would most help him, it is interest
ing at this time to analyze the figures
of the returns as indicative of the
geographical location of the votes he
was able to sway.
The one surprising feature is the
comparatively small vote polled in
Burlington by the progressives. They
had announced in advance a total en-
rolled strength of 700 who would go
to the polls, but instead of that they
polled only about the same vote
here as in Rutland, having cast 419
for Metzger as compared with 593 in
Rutland, while their vote in Chitten-
den county, as whole, was only
$40.
Moreover, study of the returns
shows that the progressive strength
Tuesday as in April was largely on
the east side of the State, or in other
words, in the second congressional
district.
According to the returns printed
yesterday, Metzger received less than
1000 votes in every county in the
first district, save Rutland. and in the
first district, as whole, embracing
the counties of Addison, Bennington,
Chittenden, Franklin. Grand Isle, La
noble and Rutland, his total was on
ly 5,19S votes, or only one out of
every six votes cast. as against 9,124

TRAIN KILLS THREE MEN

Joseph Paquin, conductor of a
wrecking train on the New York,
