had the aid of more notable orators

ccngressmen and a legislature.
Interest centers In the contest for
governor. The candidates are Allen

Howe, democrat; Rev. Frazer Metz

prohibitlonist, and Fred w. Sulter So
cialist.

in Vermont must have a majority OF
votes.
The discussion Of Issues in the cam
paign, which practically closed to-
night, has never had a wide range.
The republicans have maintained that
tho prosperity OF Vermont has been
largely due to their administration Of
state affairs.
The democrats, with the assistance
of number OF speakers from other
states, including Governor Foss Of
Massachusetts,. have talked tariff,
while chief support to the prohibition
campaign has come from Eugene w.
Chafin. the party's candidate for
president, who has not spared the re-
publicans, democrats or progressives.
The socialists have been the least ac-
tive, but the leaders believe there will
be an Increase In the party vote
over 1910.
