fused to plead to the indictment

murder of Herman Rosenthal, the

trial for Sept. II. Although John r..
MCINTYRE, Becker's counsel, who
fought by every device, today, to have
the trial delayed, threatens to continue
his tactics, Mr.. Whitman is confident
he will be able to block all efforts in
this direction.
A panel of $50 talesmen for Beck
er's trial, greater than for any recent
years, was requested from the COM

White River Junction. VT, Sept d
The Progressives and the Democrats
won the honors in the Vermont state
election, today for although the Re-
publicans carried the state on a plu-
rality vote, there was no election oy
a majority vote and the choice of
Governor was thrown into the Leg
islature There the Republicans will
have sufficient majority to elect
Allan NJ. Fletcher and the remainder
of the state ticket. The vote for
Governor from all six cities and from
1876 out of 240 towns was:
Allan NJ Fletcher of Cavendish, Re-
publican, %, 366; Harland B. Howe of
st. bloomsbury, Democrat. 1904; Rev.
Frazer Metzger, of Randolph. (Prog)
1860. Clement +. Smith of Norris
vile, Prohibitionst. 1341; Fred w.
Suitor, of Barre Socialist, 916.
Returns up to midnight showed that
the next Legislature will contain 10
Republicans. SO Democrats and IA Pro-
gressive members of the lower branch
as well as 80 Republican senators.
Congressman Frank Greene of st.
Adams in the first and Frank Plum
ley, of Mortified, in the second dis
trict. were reelected without materi-
al opposition,
The strength of the Progressive
party and the gain of the Democrats
over previous elections were the fea-
lures of the election in Vermont. None
of the Progressive leaders, not even
Col. Roosevelt, expected or predicted
the election of Rev. Mr. Metzger. They
did claim that the new party Woulo
draw from both Democrats and IKE
pubiicans and while they failed to gain
from the former they had the salts
faction of spelling the latter
chances of election by the people for
the first time on Presidential year
in the history of the state.
Whether the election today, which
went sd strongly against the Repuph'
cans will prove a political barometer foi
the Presidential contest of November as
Vermont elections have done in former
wears. was a matter of satisfactory con
lecture by the Democrats of the state
tonight, while the Progressives were
feeling almost as jubilant.
Mr.. Fletcher. the Republican candidate
for Governor, declined, tonight, to com
meut ON the result and Chairman F. c
Williams of the state committee delayed
his review of the vote until a late hour.
Mr.. Howe. the Democratic leader, SAID
II am very much pleased with the re
turns and the support given the ticke
throughout the state.
Rev. Frazer Metzger of Randolph, can
didate of the Progressive party for Gov
ernor. said:
II believe that the forcing of the cleo
ton of Governor into the Legislature
constitutes a barometer of the vote OF
the national ticket of the Progressive
party. / am delighted with the vot'
that the Progressive party has given me
today"

ST Louis, Sept 3.-Woodrow Will
sons stand upon the tariff. the trusts
and the proposal for minimum wage
scales, was assailed by Col Roosevelt
in a speech here. today, before the
Missouri Progressive State Conven-
ton. Col Roosevelt left. tonight, for
Iowa. where he is to make number
of speeches, tomorrow. The Colonel
saw nothing of Gov Hanley. who re
manned at the state capital.
Gov Wilson, said Col. Roosevelt,
had paid warm tribute to the Pro-
gressive platform, "a tribute which
cannot reciprocate as to his plat
FORM" He denied emphaticaliy that
the Progressive planks on the tarlh
and the trusts constituted the par
tvs real program. Turning to the
tariff, Col Roosevelt stated that the
Governor was diverting attention from
the real issues, when he took UP tar
tiff changes as the panacea for the
evils of the day.
Taking UP Gov. Wilson's crlticisE
of the Progressive policy in regard TO
regulation of trusts, Col. Roosevelt
asked:
"If the Democratic platform really
offers a hope for the solutions for the
trust question, why, during the iW'
wears that Mr.. Wilson has been Gov
ernor of New Jersey. has nothlhs
been done under Mr.. Wilson'S lead OF

able to bring discomfort to the par
ty that has dominated Vermont for
more than half a century. During
the early hours of the counting, to-
night, some of the Progressive lead
ers became so jubilant over the re-
turns as to claim the election of
Metzger, but later they seemed suf-
ficiently pleased with having accom-
plished what some of them termed a
moral victory over the Republicans.
The Democratic managers also de-
rived some satisfaction from the
early returns, showing as they did a
decided gain over two and four years
ago. They also pointed out that
these gains had been made despite the
claims of the Progressive leaders that
the party would recruit part of it's
strength from the Democrats
Some of the Democratic mathema-
ticians figured on the basis Of the re-
turns from half the state that the to-
tai Democratic vote would reach 90
600, or the largest in state election
ON q Presidential year since 1880.
The vote for the so-caled minor
parties, the Prohibition and Socialist,
did not vary materially from former
years. The city of Barre gave Fred
W. Suitor, The Socialist candidate for
Governor the best support, although
Rev Mr.. Metzger, the Progressive lead
err carried the city. The Democrats
carried St. Adams. another city.
The strength of the Progressive par
ty was more pronounced on the east
side of the Green mountains, than on

along the Canadian border. where the
Republican reciprocity measure was
extremely distasteful.
Many of the Republican leaders
claimed that threatening weather
early in the day had contributed to
some degree to the falling off in the
party vote. These men stated that
the registered vote of Vermont was
close to 120,000 and that had the day
beer fair and the roads dry instead of

a total of over 10000 for Mr. Fetch
