John Hanimersley was going
home. Back to old Iowa and the
waving cornfelds, the peaceful

man whom seven years ago he
had promised to love, honor and
cherish. Back to his wife-for

separation which had for a time
threatened to wreck his. life.

Nhow mistaken they both had been
to, ask her forgiveness and to be-
gin life all'over again.
There hadn't been a day SINCE
they had separated that the ag-

hadn't longed to.rush back to her.
Pride had stood in the way. But
there came a day when he sudden

a great pride compared with a life

rushed to the ticket Office in far
away, smoky Butte, Mont, and

White River Junction, VT, Sept. e.
Additional returns in yesterdays elec-

ernor: Allen NJ. Fletcher, republican,
25O,72; Harlan B. Howe, democrat,
1912; Rev. Fraser Metzger, progress
sive, 15,070; Clement F. Smith, prohi-
bition, 1,493; Fred w. Suiter. social
list, 1,042. The missing towns in 1910
gave: Meade, republican, 1.4S6; Wat
son. democrat, 486; Towle, prohibition
38: Ordinary, socialist, IL.
II the proportionate gain or loss is
maintained In the remaining towns It
is figured that the total vote in Ver-
mont for the three leading candidates
will be: Fletcher, 26,100; Howe, 20
100; Metzger, 1850.
The failure of republican candidate
for governor to obtain majority for
the first time in the history Of the
state in an election preceding presi-
dental election will necessitate the
election of the states chief executive
by the legislature. It Is expected the
republicans will have substantial
majority in the legislature, although
there are nearly 81 towns vet to report
on the vote for representatives.
The strength Of the progressive vote
was the feature of the election. The
democrats also increased their vote
over two years ago.
The falling of in the republican vote
was marked. Indications were that a
great part Of the detection went to the
|progressives, although the democrats
also gained and a few of the repub-
lican votes went to the prohibition
ticket. &
Effect On November Vote.
For many years political students
have pointed out that, any decrease in
the republican majority in Vermont
In September below normal Of 25,000
has been followed almost invariably by
the party defeat in the presidential
fight in November. These majorities,
which have averaged close to 10000
in all the state elections in Vermont
in presidential years since 1892, were
represented today by bare plurality.
The falling OF in the republican
vote began with the first returns, while
the progressives gained all along the
line, in some cases carrying towns
which had heretofore been regarded as
strongly republican.
Yet the disaffection from the re-
publican ticket did not extend very far
beyond the head Of the ticket.
Many towns that showed strong pro.
gressive tendencies sent republican
representatives to the legislature, SO
that the party leaders were early as
sured of substantial majority on
joint ballot for governor, as the fall
ure of a candidate to get majority
at the polls throws the election into
the legislature.

Whether the convicted senator whom
the disgrace virtually killed, should

His case was on appeal to The Su-

ground q innocence. AS the news was
