WILSON SPEAKS IN
NEW YORK TONIGHT.
Democratic Gains in Vermont
Mean Business Throughout
Country, Says Governor.

SEA GIRT, Sept 4-Governor Will
son will speak before the Woodrow
Wilson Workingmen's Club at din
ner to be given at the Yorkxille Ca
sino, in Eighty sixth street, New
York. tonight. This will be the first
speech in New York since he was
nominated for the presidency. The
governor has not yet announced the
subject he will discuss.
Before the dinner Governor Wilson
will meet about twenty editors of
foreign language publications at the
National Arts Club.
"The fact that. the Democrats more
than held their own in Vermont, a
Republican State, and also made
substantial gains, means business
throughout the country said Gov
ernor Woodrow 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
analyze the results in Vermont on any
comprehensive basis because the total
vote was so much larger this year
than two years ago, and II was hard
to trace the sources of the gains. At
any rate he said, the Vermont cleo
ton indicated a heavy vote through
out the country in the coming cleo
ton, and he said that he regarded 1t
as significant that the Democrats had
carried the cities throughout Vermont.
lone thing is sure added the
governor, "the Democrats did not
lost any votes to the new party-the
Republicans lost. The results are
certainly encouraging"
William Jennings Bryan Is expect
ed to meet Governor Woodrow Will
son within a few days. The Gov
ernor was uncertain as to where he
would meet Mr.. Bryan, whether here
or on a speaking trip.
When the governor went to the
State House in Trenton yesterday he
was greeted by Westmoreland Davis,
head of an organization of Virginia
farmers. Mr.. Davis paid his respects
and those of the members of his as
sociation, and presented the governor
a check for $1,000, his personal con-
tribution to the Democratic cam
paign fund.

per Stokes today formally declared his

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION. vts
Sept. 4.-The close race between the
three parties, Republican, Democratic
and Progressive, in yesterdays elec-
tion was emphasized today in the res
vision of returns of the vote for goy-
ernor. The revised returns from all
except fourteen small towns are as
follows:
Additional returns in yesterdays

Metzger, Progressive, 5000; Clement.
F. Smith. Prohibition, 1,493; Fred W.

Mead, Republican,. 1.4s6; Watson,
Democrat, 4S6; Towle, Prohibition, SO;
Ordway, Socialist, IL.

maintained In the remaining towns II
is figured that the total vote In YER
mont for the three leading candidates
will be: Fletcher 26,1O0 Howe, 0,10O;
AiCtN6CiB iofcpOs
The failure of the Republican canti-
date for governor to obtain majority
for the first time in the history of the
State in an election preceding a presi-
dental election causes the election of
the States chief executive to be made
by the legislature. 1t is expected that.
the Republicans will have substan-
tial majority in the Legislature, al
though there are nearly eighty-one
towns yet to report on the vote for
representative.
The strength of the Progressive vote
was the feature of the election. The
Democrats also increased their vote
over two years. ago. sThe falling off
of the detection went to the Progress
sives, although the Democrats also
gained and a few of Thea Republican
votes went to the Prohibition ticket.
Comparison of returns from five of
the fourteen counties show that the
Democrats carried Caledonia county
and the Republicans were successful
in the Grand Isle, Orange, Washing4
ton and Lamoille counties.
The result of the election Is greatly
encouraging to the Progressive party
of the State. Both Progressive and
Democratic leaders professed to see in
! the result good prospect to defeat
the Republicans in the presidential
election in November in Vermont.
The fact that. the Republican ma
jority in Vermont has fallen below
5000 is an indication, according Is
some political observers, including
Progressives and Democrats, of the
defeat of the Republican national adj
ministration in November.

TAFT KEPT IN BED
BY GOLF|NG INJURY
Lame Ankle, Sore Foot. and
Cout Prevent President
Making Speech.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 4.-Upon the
advice of Major, T. L. Rhoads, u. s.
A., his personal aid and physician,
President Taft took to his bed for a
few hours today expecting to remain
there until the garden party. 1t was
said at the White House that the
President needed rest.
In addition to a sprained ankle and
a sore foot President Taft is suffer-
ing from a slight attack of the gout.
His comparatively long siege of work
this summer, with little opportunity
for usual daily exercise, is partly to
blame for his condition, according to
his friends 1t was believed that a
week of rest on the yacht Mayflower
and in Beverly will put the Presi-
dent on his feet again.
When President Taft returned to
the White House today, on his re-
turn from Beverly, his right ankle,
sprained a few days ago while play
ing golf, was giving him so much
trouble that he was obliged to break
his morning engagement to address
the opening of the International Con-
gresss of Applied Chemistry. and will
remain in the executive offices. The
President will receive the delegates,
however, at a garden party in the
White House grounds later today If
the weather permits.
The President will return to New
York tomorrow, there to board the
Mayflower for a cruise to his summer
home at Beverly, Mass. Mrs. Taft
will make the trip with him, as will
Charles D. Hilles. chairman of the
Republican National Committee, and
On the way to Beverly a stop will
be made at New London, Conn,
where President Taft will address
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways As
sociation, now in session there.

EXPECT BIG MAINE VOTE

AUGUSTA, Me, Sept. 4.-Maine will
cast bigger vote next Monday than
has ever been cast in the State, say
the party leaders. In 1880 the vote for
governor was 1902. and that year
General Harry M. Plaisted, father of
the present governor. was elected by
16e votes. In no election since that
time has the vote been as large. Two
years ago the vote was 141,5 and
Frederick w. Plaisteds plurality
was S,000 -Four years ago $4,000 votes
were cast and Bert M. Fernald's plu-
rality was 1000.
The campaign has reached the bet
ting stage. The Democrats are giving
odds, but they have changed. from two
to one to ten to eight, and In many
cases to even money! Partisans on
both sides show a disposition to bet
to the extent of their resources.
