The outcome of the election in
Maine indicates that Hughes will be
elected in November if nothing hap.
pens to reduce his strength, but the
margin shown in Maine, however is
not enough to indicate a Republican
landslide. 1t must be remembered
that Maine never was an accurate
political barometer as was Vermont
when we had September elections, but
this year the Maine contest was fought
largely on national issues and doubt.
less fairly indicative the general
situation in the country About eighty
per cent of the Progressives appear
to have voted the Republican ticket
and about twenty per cent are now
Democrats. II is likely that twenty
per cent of the Progressiyes came

that most OF them have returned to
their former party moorings, The de

Vermont Farms Goinu Up.

There is a great demand for Yer
mont farms at the present time. With
in a few months we have noticed sew
eral sales Of farm property where the
price paid was $4,000 to $4,000, and
this week one farm in Charlotte
brought $4,000, and another property
nearby and considerably larger was
sold but the price was not made put
lie Vermont is certainly coming
back as a farming state at the time
when our industries are being steadi
ly developed. The county agents are
big factors in improving conditions
in Vermont, and within a few years
farming will be generally conducted
on scientific lines, ju striking contrast
to the cid hap.hazard methods.-Brat

There is considerable interest in
the size of the vote cast in today's
primary election. In past years the
political affairs of the state Of
Vermont have been controlled by
a small fraction of voters-those
who attended the Republican caucuses
and conventions The number all told
did not exceed 5000 in ordinary years
and except in notable contests was
probably never over 5000 to 1000. If
there are $4,000 votes cast today it
will mean that more citizens are TAX
ing part in selecting the nominees
than ever before in Vermont. The
total vote cast at general elections in
Vermont seldom exceeds 10000 and
in view of the fact that none of the
candidates for senator are excessively
popular vote today OF $4,000 should
be considered large. II it exceeds
that number it will be due to the 10.
cal and county contests in many sec.
tons of the state.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF
READING GRADE CROSSING

Another grade crossing horror &C.
Cured at Pleasantville at 6.37 Tues
day night, when the New Jersey Cen
trail flyer, from New York to Atlantic
City, V e the Philadelphia and Read
ing tracks, struck and instantly killed
Mrs. Cora Gibson, colored, of this
place, and scattered her body along
the tracks for nearly two blocks.
Mrs. Gibson was on her way to a
dairy to get some milk for supper.
There was a freight train approach
ing and she had hurried to get out OF
the way of that and stepped directly
into the path of the Central flyer. 1t
is presumed that the noise made by
the freight train was so great that
the unfortunate woman did not heal
the approach of the express train.
The Gibsons lived on the Old Turn
pike road, not far from the scene OF
the tragedy. A husband and two
children survive the deceased. Coro-
ner Munro, who visited the scene OF
the accident shortly afterward, will
hold an inquest.

Next Tuesday is primary election
day in New Jersey. For the Demo
Gratis it does not mean much, for they
have no contests of Importance, but
for the Republicans it will be a most
important event, especially for the
Republicans of Atlantic County, for
it is more than likely that one of our
distinguished sons, Hon. Walter E.
Edge, will be chosen at the Guberna-
torial standard bearer. Every Re-
publican of the county should esteem
it a privilege to cast his ballot for
Senator Edge for this nomination.
Congressman Bacharach has no oppo-
sition for denomination, neither has
Emerson L. Richards for the nomi-
nation for State Senator. Irving T.
Parsons and Bertram E. Whitman are
also sure to be the Assembly nomi-
nees. In Pleasantville there is a
lively contest on for all municipal Of
fees. and it is expected that there will
be a larger vote polled here than ever
before in a Republican primary. The
result of the voting is awaited with
great interest.
