WHITE RIVER 1T. VT, Sept. A.
With tremendous Republican loss
as compared with the gubernatorial
election of 1908, as shown by the re-
turns in yesterdays state election In
Vermont, the Progressive leaders see
a gigantic victory for the Bull Moose
movement in general, and although the
gubernatorial question must be decid-
ed by the Republican legislature. .
great moral victory for the Rev. Mr..
Metzger, Progressive candidate for
governor.
Republican leaders were thrown in
to CONSERVATION as the returns of the
election flowed in Instead Of the or
binary overwhelming Republican ma
jority of %, 900, Allen Fletcher. former
ly of Indiana, received bare plurality
of 5000 votes and lacked approximate
ly 10000 votes of the necessary ma
jority for election
AS an index of the Progressive sem
timent the election is considered OF
far more Importance than the mere
election or defeat of q Progressive gu
bernatorial candidate. The election
was held in a state where republican
ism has never been in dispute and the
Republican loss went for the most part
to the Progressives.
The Democrats however, made their
best showing in twenty-five years.

OHIO CONVENTION.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 4.-The first
state convention of Ohio Progressives
was held here today for the purpose of
putting full state ticket in the field
and adopting a platform. Delegates
who arrived this forenoon were en-
thusiastic over the results of the con-
stitutional amendments election which
they claim, indicated an overwhelming
victory for Roosevelt and the Progress
sive state ticket in November. Plat
form plans already discussed include
call to the voters of Ohio to aid in
carrying the banner of the direct pri-
mary, the initiative and referendum,
and judicial reforms into the seat of
the national government by support
ing the Roosevelt and Johnson ticket
With no slate of candidates drawn
up and no ready made platform in the
pocket of some leader ready to be re-
ported to committee the convention
today gave every promise of being
thoroughly democratic.
Arthur L. Garford, a manufacturer
of Elyria, Ohio, was most prominent
ly mentioned as the choice of the can
didates for governor, although the
name of E. E. Erskine, an attorney of
Steubenville, also was being present
ed by friends from the eastern part
of the state. Delegates on the ground
early said they were willing to indorse
Republicans on the G. o. P. ticket who
clearly state they are for Roosevelt.
Decision probably will be made this
afternoon to nominate Judge for the
supreme court with the proviso that
in the event the present court holds
the non-partisan judiciary ballot con-
stftutional candidates nominated by the
convention shall be pledged to the
non-partisan nomination and election
plan.

CALIFORNIA FOR r. r.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4. - Re
turns today from all parts of the state
indicate that the Roosevelt Progress
sives were successful in yesterdays
primary election. The Roosevelt men.
as a result of the balloting will con-
troll the state convention-to be made
up of legislative nominees-that will
name the Republican presidential
electors.
This means that Republican electors
pledged to support Theodore Roosevelt
for president, and Hiram Johnson for
vice president, will go on the official
ballot. The Taft managers will be
forced TO get their electors on the bal
lot by petition. The Taft nominees for
congress seem to have been success
full in at least four OF the eleven dis
tricts-possibly FIVE.
This was the struggle on which
most of the interest centered, though
the Taft men were never sanguine.
even of winning in San Francisco. In
the city the Roosevelters seem to have
made nearly a complete sweep. only
one senatorial and two assembly dis
tricts being at all doubtful.
