The failure of the republican candi-
date for governor to obtain maJorl-
ty for the first time in the history OF
the state in an election preceding a
presidential election will necessitate
the election of the states chief exec
utive by the legislature.
1t is expected the republicans will
have substantial majority in TIE
legislature.
The strength of the progressive
vote was the feature of the election.
The democrats also increased their
vote over two years ago.
Additional returns for members of
the legislature confirmed the state
ment of last night that the senate will
stand twenty-six republicans and four
democrats and progressive fusionists,
(145) and that the house will have
176 republicans, 46 democrats and "a
progressives, or 63 republicans more
than the necessary majority to elect
state officers on a joint ballot.
Democratic and progressive leaders
said the presidential election in Yer
mont will be stubbornly fought.
WILSON is PLEASED.
Sea Girt, N. j., Sept. 4.-"The fact
that the democrats more than held
their own in Vermont, republican
state, and also made substantial gains
means business throughout the coun
try" said Gov. Wilson today, COM
menting on the election results in
Vermont.
The governor said the big demo-
cratic vote was very gratifying" 1t
was difficult however, he said, to an
alysis the result in Vermont on any
comparative basis because the total
vote was so much larger this year
than two years ago. and 1T was hard
to trace the sources of the gains. At
any rate, he said, the Vermont election
indicated a heavy vote throughout
the country in the coming election and
he said that he regarded it as signifi-
cant that the democrats had carried
the cities throughout Vermont.
"One thing is sure added the gov
ernor, "the democrats did not lose any
votes to the new party and the re-
publicans lost. The results are GER
tainly encouraging.
The governor said he was greatly
piSdoCu W AOtISC IIC ldNoi oO1C NOtS
in Ohio on the constitutional amend
ments. He also manifested much in
terest in the primary vote in New
Hampshire and Wisconsin.
The governor planned to leave here
this afternoon for New York where
he will address a dollar dinner given
by the Woodrow-Wilson working
mems league of New York.
William j. Bryan is expected to
meet Mr.. Wilson within g. few days.
Il expect to get ina telegraphic
communication with Mr.. Bryan soon,"
said the governor. He has not seen
Mr.. Bryan since the jackson day ban
quet at Washington
I'VE have been getting kilograms
from everywhere" remarked the
governor, asking for Mr.. Bryan to
speak. The country seems to be
to hear hin"
