bed Republican State in the
Union, if equalled elsewhere in
November would put twenty
States which went Republican
four years ago. in the Democrat
In round numbers the total
vote in Vermont is 10000. Four
years ago $4,000 of these were
cast for the Republican ticket
and $1,000 for the Democratic
ticket. The Republicans polled
three votes to every one vote
cast for the Democrats. This
year with the Republican and
Progressive tickets in the field it
was reasonable to suppose that
the Progressive party would
draw some from the Democrats,
but such was not the case. In
the election last Tuesday the
Democrats polled one vote for
their candidate for Governor for
every two votes cast for the two
other candidates for Governor
combined.
The total vote of $4,000 was
divided in this way; $4,000 for
the Republican ticket 10000 for
the Democratic ticket and 49,
900 for the Progressive ticket.
The Roosevelt party drew its en-.
tire 5000 from the Republican
party and the Democrats drew
5000 from the Republican party.
To put it another way the
Progressive party drew eXclu-
siveIy from the Republican party
dividing that vote in such way
that if followed out in the other
States the electral vote of every
one of them will be cast for Will
son. as no other State besides
Vermont has three Republican
votes to one Democratic vote.
The other significant thing in
the election is that the Demo-
Gratis increased their vote 81 per
cent over the combined Taft and
Roosevelt. Four years ago the
Republican plurality was 10000
in Vermont. This year it is only
5000. Elizabethtown News.

Governor Wilson has indicated
in the speeches he has made thus
far in the campaign that he at
taches a good deal Of Importance
to the question of the tariff as it
affects farmers. The Demo-
cratic candidate put this whole
question into a nut shell when he
said:
THAT farmer does not derive
any benefits from the tariff when
he goes to market to sell his pro-
ducts, but on everything the
farmer buys there in an artificial
ly high price, due to the tariff
tax"
High protectonists in Con-
gress have for many years de-
ceived the farmers into believing
that because the tariff is kept
on wheat and corn the corn is
necessarily benefited thereby.
That this is false logic is ap-
parent to any student of Ameri-
can import and export statistics.
This country produces more
wheat and corn than the Ameri-
can people consume, which
obviously makes it impossible for
ANY foreign country to sell wheat
or corn here. Europe, which is
the great market for surplus
American grain, uses all the
grain produced there for home
consumption, and in addition.
the European countries have to
send over here for more. If
there were no tariff at all on
grain, therefore, the American
farmer would not be menaced by
the possibility of foreign COM
petition, for the reason that
foreigners have no grain to sell.
But the situation is vastly diff
ferent with the farmer when he
comes to buy the tools, machin-
cry, clothing, and other neces-
sites of life. He finds every
article that he uses in producing
his crops taxed higher and high
er. until, as Governor Wilson
says, 1T is getting to be next to
impossible for the American far
mer to make a legitimate profit. "
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, their
smaller tool, wagons, household
articles, lumber, and harvesting
machines have steadily risen in
price.
That this rise has been due to
artificial causes is proven by the
fact that the identical articles
used by the American farmer
are sold abroad for from 25 to 40
per cent less. B. D. Townsend,
in his report to President Roose-
welt on the Harvester Trust, and
that the same harvesting ma
chimes that were made by the
trust in Chicago, and sold to the
American farmer for $I25, and
sold in Russia for $50 and $50.
Nothing but the tariff enables
the trust to thus rob the Ameri
can farmer, because, if it were
not for the tariff, the danger Of
competition from Canada would
force the American trust to sell
its machines for one price to all.
Governor Wilson has shown a
deep grasp of the tariff question
as it affects the farmer, and it is
certain that before the campaign
is much older he will have some

COUNCIL MEETS
AND ADJOURNS
Will Hold Special Session Thursday
to Consider Matters in Connection
With Paving Company.

Because the paving company has
several matters 1t desires to bring
before the council. preparation for
which their legal representative.
Judge w. <. Hawkins, has not yet
completed. and because there was no
other pressing business. the council
yesterday afternoon adjourned until
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
Mayor Cole stated to the council
that he regretted the several recent
adjournments, but as there was no
important business demanding the
attention of the council other than
tha Of the paving company, he sug-
gested another adjournment. He
NJ o stated that the business to come
before the council at the adjourned
meeting would necessitate lengthy
session, and a motion for the morn
ing session resulted and carried.
The school board also has some
matters to bring before the council.
that, it i said. will probably affect
the continuance Of school. The
board will soon have before II de-
mands for money which 1t will be
unable to meet owing to the fact that
the tax rate, from which the school
funds are to come, has not yet been
passed by the council.
No reference has been made In the
council meeting to the tax rate
since it was brought up and turned
down by the council several weeks
ago.

RESTRICTIONS UPON
INJUNCTION ORDERS
IMPORTANT DECISION BY U. s
SUPREME COURT
Injunctions Issued Hereafter in Fed
eral Courts Only Upon Showing of
Proof of Alleged Damage-Hear-
ing to be Held in Ten Days.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 4.-The
United States supreme court today
promulgated the first revision of
equity rules governing federal
courts, prohibiting the granting of
preliminary injunctions without no.
tice and restricting the granting of
temporary restraining orders.
Many points of the Clayton anti
injunction bill, for which labor lead
ers have been fighting, and which
has passed the house and is pending
in the senate, are embodied in the
rule.
Hereafter instead of general allie
cations that immediate and irrepar-
able damage is about to be inflicted,
it must be shown that such is the
case before a restraining order will
be issued. 1t is also provided tina
a hearing in injunction suits must
be given within ten days after an
order is issued. Also those restrain
ed may come into court within Two
days and be heard on motion to
dissolve the restraining order.
