just now being widely revived. YER

ton is a matter of plurality. some-
times ascribed to former Secretary
Whitney, and runs to the effect that
whenever the republican plurality in
Vermont falls below $4,000 in the
state contest in September the u
try is certain to go democratic in
November.
Vermont has been a republican
stronghold for fifty years. Its total
vote in 1908 was $1,000. and at the

This year the tradition will be put
to an unusual test by the injection Of
the progressive party into the CAM
paign. A majority is necessary to
elect a governor in Vermont, and fail
ing that the election is thrown into
the legislature, which has always been
safely republican. This happened in
1902. The theory Of trying 10 fore
cast national campaigns through iso-
lated elections for IN con.
gress or through state contests has
frequently been rudely jolted by the
facts, but it may be said for Yer
mont's claim to political prophecy
that it is venerable and so far un-
broken since 1876. Yet It's vote has
been as eagerly looked for in every
other year as this, and its claim to
oracular power has been as stoutly
proclaimed or re%pudiated, according
to whether the tradition seems to
point to victory or defeat for the
reader Of the returns.
