POLICE JOTTINCS.

The people of Topeka have began to
realize the advantage of enforcing the
ordinances which pertain to jay driving
and are coming to the rescue of the
police department. The majority of
citizens who drive vehicles of numerous
characters, upon learning of the be-
ginning of the traffic squad began OBJ
serving the rules of the road and are
turning square corners, as required in
the ordinances, in the different parts of
the city where traffic is liable to be-
come congested.
The traffic officers at the intersection
of Eighth and Kansas avenues were
kept busy the first two days they were
on duty, but since then drivers of
vehicles try to drive properly. A few
continue to cause the officers trouble by
driving in a manner which is aggra-
waiting. A number Of arrests have been
made of persons who have wilfully VIC
lated the Instructions given them by
the officers and have been fined in
police court but the majority observe
the rules concerning the approach and
driving around the corners In the con-
geSted districts.
Many have complimented Mayor Bill
lard and Chief of Police Jenkins and
the officers on duty. who are trying to
enforce this ordinance and have offered
to assist them on any occasion deemed
necessary

No ELECTION BY THE
PEOPLE
In Vermont - Election
of Fletcher
Insured by the Republican LegisIa.
ture. Outstanding Feature.

The strength of the new Progressive
party in its first lineup against the
older parties, and the disappearance
of the Republican majority for the
first time in 10 years and the first
time in the history of the state on a
Presidential year, were the outstand-
ing features of the state election in
Vermont, Tuesday. 1t was apparent
early in the evening that there had
been no election by the people, al
though sufficient number of Repub-
lican representatives were successful
to insure the election of Allen NJ
Fletcher of Cavendish by the Legis-
lature.
The falling off in the Republican
vote began with the first return and
as town by town reported the losses
continued while the strength of tho
Progressive movement in Vermont be
came more and more pronounced. The
Democrats derived benefit from the
apparent dissatisfaction of the people
with Republican principles as voiced
on the stump by orators, both from
within and from without the state.
Yet the disaffection from the Republi-
can ranks did not extend very far be-
yond the head of the ticket Many
towns that showed strong Progressive
tendencies, sent Republicans to the
Legislature, so that the party leaders
were early assured of a substantial
majority in a joint ballot for Cover
nor, even though the people had fail
ed to give Mr.. Fletcher the majority
required by law.
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 20
GOO, or the largest in state election
on a Presidential year since 1880.
The vote for the so-called 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
leader. carried the city. The Demo
Gratis carried st. Adams, another city

and were escorted to the Opera House

well-known politicians of this section
of Somerset,an the presiding officer
was William T. Seekins, president of
the Republican club here.
Mr.. Haines was the first speaker,
his remarks covering a period OF about
one hour and a half He spoke of the
State finances, dwelling upon the
Plalsted-P Pattangall regime. He touch
ed up on prohlpluon, proclalmlhe
that il had neither been enforced or
gotten rid of, and he paid tribute
to Sheriff John A. Mooers for his sue
cess in enforcing this law in SOmer-
set County. He expressed confidence
in being elected in September, and
during his remarks he was often
greeted by loud applause
Mr., Maher, who is a speaker of rare
eloquence, spoke on the public utili-
ties" Ballot Reform" and Employers
Liability" On the utility bill he told
of the attitude of the Democratic
party to it and talked for some con-
siderable length on the other two sub
jects.

AN OPEN LETTER
County Treasurer Lawry's Statement
Regarding the Burke Mooers Afair.
Fairfield. Maine. Sept. 4. 1871

Falrneld, Maine, sept. !, l9lE.
Mr.. A. X. Butler,
Skowhegan, Maine
Dear Sir
| have been told by reliable author
ity that in your speech at Canaan last
week you made the statement that
County Treasurer S. 7. Bawry made
out the bill of items that Mr. A. ).
Burke of Shawmut presented to the
County Commissioners
| do not believe that you would
knowingly make a misstatement, and
| beg to state that If you did make
such statement it is a deliberate
falsehood, as | had nothing to do with
making out this bill. For your infor-
nation, however, | will say that when
Mr.. Burke told me that he had a bill
against Somerset County that had been
running since last March, | advised
him to present it to the County Com
missioners, who have to o. X. all
bills before they are paid.
l cannot possibly see what object
(HonesU John A Mooers could have
in telling Mr. Burke not to present his
bill until after election. 1t is quite
evident that in speaking at Canaan
you must have been laboring under a
misapprehension of facts, the same as
all other Republican speakers.
Very truly yours,
: T IAWRY
