ton.
Progressives make practicallya
clean sweep in California. RE-
publican" electors will be for
Roosevelt.
Woman suffrage apparently
beaten in Ohio.
Close race in Louisiana be-
tween reformers and regulars.
Democrats nominate Karel for
governor In Wisconsin.
White River Junction, VT, Sept s.
The close race between the three
parties, Republican, Democratic and
Progressive, in Tuesdays election was
emphasized in the revision of returns
of the vote for governor. The revised
returns from all but IA small towns
In the state are as follows:
Allen M. Fletcher, Republican,
g5,072.
Harlan B. Howe, Democrat, 1912.
The Rev. Frazer Metzger, Progress.
I've, 5000.
Clement F. Smith, Prohibitionist.
I,49S.
Fred w. Suffer, Socialist, 1912.
The failure of the Republican can
didate for governor to obtain a ma
jority for the first time in the history
of the state in an election preceding
presidential election will necessitate
the election of the states chief execu-
tive by the legislature.
1t is expected the Republicans will
have a substantial majority in the
legislature, although there are nearly
81 towns yet to report on the vote for
representatives.
The strength of the Progressive
vote was the feature of the election
The Democrats also increased their
vote strongly over two years ago. The
falling off in the Republican vote was
marked. Indications were that great
part of the detection went to the Pro
gressives, although the Democrats
also gained and a few of the Repub-
lican votes went to the Prohibition
ticket
The result of the election is greatly
encouraging to the Progressive party
of the state. Both Progressive and
Democratic leaders profess to see in
the result a good prospect of defeat
the Republicans in the presidential
election in November in Vermont
The missing towns In 1910 gave:
Meade tRep), 1885, Watson
(Dem.), 4S6; Towle (Proh.). So; Ord
may (Soc.). IL.
If the proportionate gain or loss rs
maintained In the remaining towns, it
Is figured that the total vote in Yer
mont for the three leading candidates
will be:
Fletcher. 2810O: Howe, 20,10O;

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
TO Natural COlOr--Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

There Is nothing new about the idea Of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmOthers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use Of
a simple ''Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made brew
Of Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays We don't have to resort to
the Old-time tiresOme method of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
is done by skillful chemists better than
we could Do il ourselves; and all we
have to DO IS to call for the ready-made
product, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition Of
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and is one Of
the best remedies YOU can use for dan
druff, dry. feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get q fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you will
be surprised at the quick results. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded If the
remedy IS not exactly as represented.

TOLL OF JUNGLE Is HEAVY.
Sacrifice of Human Life to Animals
and Snakes Seems Incredible

London.-India still pays its annual
tribute of human life to the jungle
In fact the number of deaths from
snakebite or the attacks of wild an
imals has steadily increased during
the last three years. The rising waters
have driven the serpents out OF the
lowlands up into the village and have
diminished through drowning the nat
ural food supply of the larger wild
beasts.
In 1910 fifty-five persons were
killed by elephants, twenty-five by hy-
enas, 109 by bears, 351 by leopards,
31S by wolves. $50 by tigers and 6Ss
by other animals. including wild pigs
No less than 22,47S died from the bite
of poisonous snakes. The grand total
of mortality is 24S7S.
During the same year $4,000 cattlt
We're also killed by wild beasts and

The losses on the part of inhabitants
of the jungle were nearly but not quite
as great as those of their human enc

the most conservative in their ten

1t is not improbable. according to
the talk which was going on early
in the day, that New York will turn
to Clark, while the Illinois and Indi-
ana contingents are more likely to
turn TO Wilson.
There is nothing definite on these
possible moves; but there were ten
denotes in those directions as the day
progressed.
Bryan, as an ultimate candidate,
is but little discussed. although some
continue to regard him as a possi-
bility This has developed a singu-
lar divergence of views between two
strong elements. the south and New
York. The south wpuld prefer Will
son to Bryan, while New York would
prefer Bryan to Wilson.
