1T has been widely claimed shat

From that proposition the Republics

The Republicans have control OF
both houses OF the Vermont legisla-
tuFe, and wiltAhave majority ON a
Joint ballot of Forty. The tcant KS
sembfy will. therefore, confirm Mr..
Fletcher. the Republican candidate for
governor, will elect a Republican
United States senator. and will eject
all Republican State officials. The
two Republican members OF congress
were re-eieeted yesterday.
THE total vote will not be as heavy
as at first Estimated. and probably Will
not exceed that of 1905 te3.016,, when

In 1905 the Democratic candidate. for
governor received 2s.sl1 and the Re-
Democratic vote Of approximately 49,
600 Is not abnormal.
The third term party confidently
predicted a vote OF twenty thousand
for their candidate; the vote has fallen
IS per cent short OF their expectations
The result yesterday shows that
there has already been remarkable
recession in Roosevelt support. and
this, Notwithstanding the fact that the
colonel labored in the vineyards OF
Vermont during the last week Of the
campaign and had the assistance OF
his most adroit and popular Iieuten-
ants from all parts OF the country.
The fact that the third term party
ran third IN the race In Vermont

the vote at the primaries In Detroit
and was ignored In the primaries IN

sizes the decline of that movement

assembly makes plain that its pur-
pose and only hope IL to throw the
election Of the president into the house
