ELECTION FLUCTUATIONS GIVEN.
James K. Pine Congratulated on Honor
Conferred by Williamstown

4 rousing reception for James X. Pirie,
the recently elected representative in the
general assembly from Williamstown,
was held at Mr.. Prizes home last even
ing, when upwards of 200 people came
together to sample the hospitality of
him whom Williamstown voters honored
at the polls last Tuesday. Party affilia-
tions were obscured in the general get
together spirit of the affair and partisan
lines for the time being, at least were
wiped out. II was one of the incidental
aspects of the reception that the occa
sion celebrated the election of a Demo
crat from Williamstown for the first
time in 63 years. That such circum-
stance should be the issue OF Tuesdays
vote is tribute TO Mr. Prizes popular
ity in his home town rather than to any
particular trend toward the Democracy,
And yet it was fitting that people of all
partisan creeds should gather TO honor
one of the staunchcst Democrats in Yer
mont, and that representative men from
Barre. Williamstown and Barre Town
should bring felicitous messages 20 one
who has made his imprint on the record
of granite development in the Barre
belt. Mr.. Pirie was honored as a demo
crat last night with the emphasis on
the small ID"
