THE VOTE IN ORLEANS COUNTY

Orleans county was the only county
in the state giving Metzger, the pro
gressive candidate for governor. a
larger vote than any other candidate.
Ten of the is towns in Orleans coun-
~ gave larger progressive vote than
Republican, and in those 10 towns the
bull moose plurality was 500, on an
average of SO votes to the town. In
the eight towns carried by the repub-
leans the republican plurality was
329 or 40 votes per town. Speaking
in rough figures the progressives pull
ed one-half the republican vote of this
county cast four years ago for the re-
publican president and the democrats
nearly doubled their vote.
Another feature of the Orleans
county vote is the size of the Barton
vote. compared with the vote of New
port and Derby. the other two towns
in the county who have as large or
larger check lists than Barton. Bar
ton cast 727 votes for governor. New
port comes next with $50 and Derby
follows with 453. Barton cast the
largest vote for Metzger of any town
in the county. Barton also cast the
largest vote in the county for Flet-
cher. Barton cast the second largest
vote of any town in the county for
Howe. Certainly no subernatorial
candidate can find fault with Barton's
liberality toward them when compar-
ing the vote given them with the
other large towns of the county. Good
work Barton. Keep it up
Troy gave the largest Fletcher plur-
ality over Metzger, the vote being
more than three TO one for Fletcher.
Westfield and Lowell came next in
Fletcher's favor. Newport. Irasburg
and Glover gave the largest votes for
Metzger over Fletcher. their vote be-
ing about two to one in Metzger's IA
vor Howe carried more votes than
Fletcher in Albany and Coventry. Al
bany and Newport showed the great
est democratic strength. nearly one
vote in every three being democratic.
Craftsbury cast the largest number Of
prohibition votes, 13 Newport cast
the largest number Of socialist votes,
5.
The county cast nearly 1000 more
votes this yesr than two years ago
and one of the largest ever cast.
The progress of the progressives in
Orleans county is a compliment to Dr.
J. NJ. Blake OF Barton. who was coun-
ty committeeman and had charge Of
the campaign in this county. Dir.
Blake says he expects that in those
towns carried by the progressives the
representatives will. with possibly one
OF two exceptions. support Metzger in
the legislature.-Barton Monitor

ULSTER KNIFE

: the best knife made in this country.
He swears by it when he swears and
whites with it when he whites.
He would be ashamed to cut himself
or be found dead with any other knife
on his person than an Ulster He
uses il in the summer as well as the
winter when everyone admits the
Ulster to be the thing that cuts the
ice
Griswold has sold the Ulster knife
for years He also swears by this
make of knife and has given an abso-
lutte guarantee with every knife sold
by him.
We have had less than half dozen
of these knives returned since we
have been in business, which we have
replaced with no questions asked, al
though in several cases it was no
fault of the maker or material that
the knife did not prove satisfactory.
Be sure to see Mr.. Clark at work.
He is a wizard with the Jack Knife.

ULSTER knives. Every style and
