TO HAVE MAJORITY
Of Sixty-three on a Joint Bal
lot in the Legislature
of Vermont.
(Nationa1 News Association


WHITE RIVER, 1T, VT, Sept. 5.-Re
publican leaders today declared that
their estimates of republican ma
jority of 63 on the joint ballot in
the legislature, made necessary by
their failure to secure majority at

tangled the representative fight has
been held over for ten days. The line
up of the legislature will be practical
ly: Senate, Republicans 26; Fusion,
4; House: Republicans 167; Demo
Gratis, 46; Progressives, "a. Republi-
can majority on joint ballot So.
The total vote of the state for all
five gubernatorial. candidates was as
follows: Allan NJ. Fletcher, Rep. 26.-

Rev. Frazer Metzger, Progressive. 49,
