WHAT VERMONT DID

New York Sun. 1t will b5 vain
for Vermot politicians who have no
sympathy with Colonel Roosevelt in
his campaign for third term to at
tribute the strengt shown by the
Progressive candidate for governor To
dissatisfaction with the Republican
State gverment which the Colonel 8
advance agents and financial hackers
organized in his interest. 1t would
be only part of the truth. perhaps no
small part, but Vemont's function MS
the political weather guage of the
nation is firmly established AS well
try to argue that the grounding
movements on February I'd do not in
dictate the duration of winter as to
control that the September election for
State officers and members of Congress
in Vermont has no bearing In Novem-
her.
The Republicans have always been
as quick as the Democrats to read fav-
orable portion in September returns.
This year the auspices, thanks to Col
onel Roosevelt, are doubly favorable
to the Democrats. He has succeeded
in setting the Republicans by the ears
and dividing the party vote, and the
Democrats united and alert to their
opportunity have polled the largest
vote fer their candidate for governor
since the civil war. The last time
their total approached the sum of the
vote on Tuesday 20, 100 was in 1890,
when it was about 500 less, and in
that year the Democrats captured the
House of Representatives by a mai
ority that the Republicans do not like
to recall for they elected only eighty
eight members.
If the results of the State election
in Vermont this year is unsatisfactory
to Mr.. Taft and his supporters, how
can the Bull Moose crowd exult over
it?-unless they have taken leave of
their wits and some of them no doubt
have. 1t is true that the Progressives
obtained 38 per cent of the Kepubli-
can vote polled, but on the other hand
the Democrtic vote rose from Is. 953
in 1908 to 20, 100 in 1912, proving
that lColonel Roosevelt utterly failed
to tempt Democrats to desert their
candidates; in fact, it is to be supect-
ed that his course drove some Republ-
leans into the Domcratic ranks. The
Progressive captains may vaunt as the
like about the size of their vote in
Vermont and its significance. but the
Colonel is not deceived ; the disappoint-
ment in the September electin for him
is the size of the Dmeocratic vote and
the irrefragable logic of it.

COMP PROMISE TALK.

The Vermont election gave rise
yesterday TO gossip and predictions
a-plei ty among local and Visiting
statesmen. Harry Doughcrty, the
leader of the Taft forces in Ohio. was
at the Waldorf. Senator Atllee Pom
rene, of Ohio, passed through the city
on his way to Maine To speak for Will
son. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, who
sails today on the General Washing
ton, was the guest of Senator o. Cor
man ut dinner ut the Manhattan Club
Leader Murphy was in conference
with several State leaders over the
governoreship. 1t developed that the
rammamy leader was up in the air
over the governorship, but seemingly
inclines toward the nomination of
Justice Victor j Bowling, of the Sup
rene Court.
"Of course the Vermont results M
the one big topic of discussion, and
out of it grew expression of belief
that before the moon comes and goes
both President Taft and Colonel Roosc-
volt would retire from the President
ial race and give way to man both
factions Of the Republican party can
agree upon.
This was the conviction of some
experienced politicians in view of the
Vermont result. All agreed that the
Vermont election. unless there be a
radical change in the lineup, means Il
walkovcr for Wilson. Senator pomc-
rene said Ohio under present condition
would give Wilson 100. 600 plurality.
Snator O'Gorman said his advice were
that Pennsylvania would give the New
Jersey governor more than 100, 600
plurality mot Majority. There was
much speculation as to New York, the
consensus of opinion being that Roose-
welt would fare badly in his native
State while Taft would run we'll.
It was even asserted that prelimi-
nary steps looking to compro-
mise had been taken, and Senator
Murray Crane. of Massachusetts, was
named as the Taft advance agent.
The opinion was expressed that the
success of these saviOrs of the Repub-
lican party could depend upon the
mental state Of Colonel Roosevelt,
who, it was said, alone could pass
upon the Bull Moose attitude toward
an armistice. None could suggest
the name Of compromise candidate.
Senator James A. O'Gorman said
"Analyzing the Vermont vote from
all sides can leave but one impress
sion as 20 the result in November.
The Republicans, with plurality
of lesat seven thousand, cannot
count or anything but defeat. 1t
was excepted by Colonel Roosevelt's
party that they would not secure a
lone vote from the Republicans, but
from the Democrats. They failed,
for the returns show that the Demo.
Gratis have gained more than eight
thousand votes.
