VERxONY'S ELECTION
Shows Conclusively That +. r.
Cannot Be Elected.
The Roosevelt Onc-Man Party Simply
Helping Wilson Free Trade Move
ment toward Success-Repub-
licHns We'll rid of Trimmers
(From the New York Tribune.)

The result Of the election in Vermont
must be distinctly disappointing to the
third term partisans. They have indeed
thrown the election of the governor into
the Legislature, where the republican
candidate Will doubtless be chosen. But
they have not cast as large a vote as they
predicted by several thousand They
claimed 2O.000, and the returns so far re-
ceved indicate a vote of only about 1900
out of a larger total vote than that of
either 1905 or 1910. Mr.. Fletcher appears
to have lost about 80 per cent of the re-
publican vote, while the democrats have
polled their own strength. with a slight
gain over that Of 1910, but not more than
in proportion to the Increased attendance
at the polls. The progressive vote Is
smaller than that Of the democrats and
only a little more than half that of the
republicans.
1t Is clear from these returns that Mr..
Roosevelt has organized movement en-
couragng to the democrats. but one quite
| incapable of placing him In the White
House. If In other States the democrats
can hold their vote together as well as
they have done In Vermont and II the
| progressives can divide tho opposition in
the same proportion they will probably
give the victory to MIR. Wilson. That Is
| the most they can do.
In Vermont. after a strenuous personal
| campaign by the most adroit and popu-
| lar politicians of this generation, at the
very flush of the first enthusiasm over
his nomin ton and over the vision which
| he promises to realize. they are Outvoted
| nearly two to one by the republicans. II
their purpose is merely to defeat Mr.. Taf,
and throw the government into the hands
! of the democrats they may possibly &C.
complish that, but nothing more. Per
haps Mr. Roosevelt would thus he sat
isfed for the time being, and doubtless
revenge is the ruling passion with some
| OF his advisers, but as the lesson OF TIL,
Vermont figures sinks more and NOR,
into the public mind the average either
will face the alternative OF republican OF
| democratic rule.
That has been the history of third part,
movements in the past. They are for
midable in the summer and early in fall
but when men who may at first hav,
been attracted to them by enthusiasm 70
an individual or for novel doctrines fac
on election day the question of choosin,
between what are practical possib!liue
they are not inclined to waste their votes
And yesterdays election in Vernon
shows that support of the third tern
movement Will in the outcome of the cam
pagn be a waste OF votes.

KILLED BY LIVE WIRE
Death Came to A. g. Zeiner while
Attempting to Save a Boy.
Received $500 Volts Of Electricity,
while child and Mother who Went
to Hts Aid Were Slightly
Injured.

In attempting to rescue seven years
old Charles Sullivan, who was hung TO
a wire at the corner OF Pearl and CHAM
plain streets Saturday afternoon, Albert
c. Zeiner, q slater. was electrocuted ana
died instantly with $500 volts OF cleo
tricity passing through his body. The
boy escaped with a few burns and his
mother, Mrs. John Sullivan. who tried
to assist him, was injured by being
thrown some distance by the force OF
the shock.
The wire which did the damage was
a guy wire which was attached to a
pole belonging to tho Burlington Light
& Power company and which was nailed
on to the house at the northwest corner
of Pearl and North Champlain streets.
Some skaters were at work on the mouse
and In taking down the staging, the
wire had become loosened and fell to
the ground. In falling It became crossed
with live wire and It was from this
that the current was derived.
During the entire forenoon the wire
hung over some lilac bushes and nc
one happened to touch It, Shortly after
three o'clock, however, the Sullivan
child grasped It and could not free him
self. He was tossed about and screamed
for aid His mother, nearing his cries
went TO his assistance and was thrown
violently to the ground from the shock
although she only tried to grasp hin
and not the wire.

VERMONT'S VOICE IN SEPTEMBER
NOT NOVEMBER.
(From the New York Post.


The great outstanding fact in the YER
mont election is that the Democratic
party has fully held its own. and even
made decided gain. In so far as YER
mont can lay claim TO giving a barometric
indication OF the outcome Of the presiuen-
tial campaign. this fact Is first. and the
rest nowhere. 1t Is true that the ROose-
welt party polled big vote; It is also
true that this vote was far less than the
vote for the regular, or Taft, republican
candidate for governor. so that the Bull
second or first, as some of them had
fondly hoped; and It is true that from
these latter circumstances certain con-
clusions may be drawn with a greater
or less degree of confidence, But these
conclusions. in a general way. might have
been drawn with almost equal confidence
before the election and their somewhat
more exact determination by the figures
Of yesterdays vote has no material bear
Ing on the question OF the presidency.
That Roosevelt would cut deep inro the
republican vote was certain In advance
and whether this cut would be very deer
or only pretty deep was of no practical
consequence whatever-provided only that
there was no considerable oemocratc
accession to the Bull Moose ranks. Well.
there has been, SO far as can be detected
from the figures. none whatever. but
something quite tho opposite; and II the
failure OF Vermont democrats TO be lured
away by Roosevelt is indicative OF the
sAnerai temnar of tha country. this NJ

SHOWS ROOSEVELT CANNOT BE
ELECTED.
(From the Troy Times.)


The result in Vermont makes the stua-
ton clear. After a very strenuous cam
paign in which Colonel Roosevelt himself
took a most active part the progressive
State ticket is badly defeated, being third
in the race, the Republican nominee for
governor leading the democratic candi-
date coming second After all the loud
talk of progressive victory this outcome
must be highly disappointing to the sup
porters of the third party. They will not
prevent the election of the regular repub-
lican ticket, The Vermont law requires
that nominee for governor to succeed at
the polls must have majority of the
votes cast. Progressive detection was
sufficient to prevent the republican can
didatc from getting such a ma joritY, and
This throws the election into the Legisla-
ture. A. that body will be strongly re-
publican, the choice OF Mr. Fletcher. the
republican candidate, is assured. The
State also elects two republican represen-
tativcs in Congress and thus retains its
position in national politics.
