and the only available figures upon
which 20 base a result would have to
be taken from the official clerks re-
turn, as tabulated by the Governor and
Coureil. This would show Il tie vote
in this class, each candidate having
1853 votes.
An interesting feature of this in
spection is the fact that the
result of the vote in these mu-
inequalities hinges upon three split
Republican ballots where the name
Of both Levite W Thibodeau and For
tunat .. Michaud appears in the space
provided for the Representative to the
Legislature, the voter thereby votes
for two candidates for the same office
when but one can fill 1t. He thus vi
tiates his ballot, as far as Repr esenta-
tive to the Legislature is con ;ernS d.
The throwing out of these ballots
elects the Republican candidate by
one vote.

there is no more important industry
than agriculture. and this fact is more

minds of the thinking public. OF this
industry dairying is the largest single
branch, and no pains should be spared
to accomplish results which will bring

While it may have no particular lear
