REP. VOTE FALLS OFF
STRENGTH OF PRoaREssiyEs
FORCES CHOICE OF GOVERNOR
ON LEGISLATURE.
G. o. P. SURE OF VICTORY.
Joint Ballot Will Give Them Contest.
Third Party Leaders Say They
Are Pleased With First
Showing.

White River Junction, Vermont
The strength of the new Progressive
party in it's 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 presiden-
tial year, were the outstanding features
of the state election.
The vote for the five candidates for
governor from all of the six cities and
from 1876 out of 204 towns was: Allen
M. Fletcher of Cavendish, Republican,
22,366; Harland B. Howe of st. Johns
bury, Democrat, 1864; Rev. Fraser
Metzger of Randolph, Progressive, 49,
$50; Clement F. Smith of Morrisville,
Prohibition, 1.341; Fred w. Suffer Of
Barre, Socialist, 976.
Returns indicate that the next legis-
lature will contain 10 Republicans, SO
Democrats and Ia Progressives, mem
bers of the lower branch, as well as
80 Republican senators.
1t was apparent early in the even
ing that there had been no election by
the people, although a sufficient num-
Der of Republican representatives were
successful to seem to insure the choice
of Allen M. Fletcher of Cavendish by
the legislature for governor.
For many years political students
have pointed out that any decrease in
the Republican majority in Vermont in
September below the normal of $4,000
has been followed almost invariably
by the party defeat in the presidential
fight in November. These majorities
which have averaged close to 10000
in all the state elections in Vermont
in presidential years since 1892. were
represented by bare plurality.
G. o. p. Loss Distributed.
The Republican loss apparently went
in a great degree to the Progressives
and to somewhat lesser extent to the
Democrats.
The falling off in the Republican
vote began with the first returns, while
the Progressives gained all along the
which had heretofore been regarded as
strongly Republican. Yet the disaf-
lection from the Republican ranks did
not extend very far beyond the head
of the ticket.
Many towns that showed strong Pro-
gressive tendencies sent Republican
representatives to the legislature, so
that the party leaders were early as
sured of substantial majority on joint
ballot for governor, as the failure of
candidate to get majority at the
polls throws the election into the leg
islature.
Progressives Pleased.

AFTER FORTY-THREE
YEARS AT TELEGRAPH
KEY YOEST RtIIKtS
IMMENSE GROWTH OF WIRE
MESSAGES HERE DURING
THAT. TIME.
K POiTlj ~ nilAI Lv1nTS
has Given to the People of This
Section the First News in Eleven
Presidential contests--Given Pen.
sion for Loyal Services.

After a service of forty-three years
Which has always been characterized
by efficiency and devotion to the in.
terests OF the company, e. Yoest. the
local manager of the Western Union
Telegraph Company has been retired
upon a substantial pension. Mr..
Yoest has been relieved of his du-
ties here and will spend the rest of
his life in quiet retirement. For
more than two score years he has
heard the constant click of the tele-
graph instrument and upon thousands
OF occasions he has interpreted mes
sages in the Morse code than were 10
bring JOY or sorrow, elation or de-
preston, fortune or reverses, fame or
disgrace to their recipients. He has
received the news of eleven presldea.
tial elections Of the United States.
He has given to people of this com
munity first reports of the election
of governors of Tennessee upon swen-
ty-one different occasions. And al.
most by the thousands has received
the first news of births and deaths
and marriages.
Mr. Yoest was telegraph operator
here when tho Franco-P russian war
was fought and he gave to the people
of Columbia the first news Of the
birth of German empire, the dream
Iof Prussian statesmen for genera
tons. He received the first intelli.
gence of the assassination of Garfield,
and 1t was his key that licked ont the
sad news that the beloved Mckinley
had been the victim of an anarchist.
Mr.. Yoest became the telegraph op.
orator here in 1870. At that time the
telegraph office was located at the
union station. Mr. Yoest did all the
telegraph work for the railroad and
also attended to the commercial
work. Then there was no press mes
sages for him to handle. Three years
later the Office was moved up town to
the old Nelson House. The company
then had two wires. 1t now has twen-
ty. When Mr.. Yoest became operator
he attended to all the business, now
the railroad business here alona re-
quires the services of fifteen men.
This gives an idea of the increase in
the telegraph business of the commu-
nifty.
Mr.. Yoest's life has been busy
one. In addition to his duties as tel
egraph manager he has been active
in local politics. He served several
times as a member Of thee board OF
aldermen; was for two terms the city
treasurer, served twice as the mayor
of Columbia and has been a member
OF the city school board for years and
is now the secretary of the board. It
was during his administration as
mayor that the new union station was
erected here. A number of other i'm
provements were made.
Mr.. Yoest has a farm near the city
to which ne will devote much Of his
time. He will also do some travelling.
