ELECTION RETURNS
Will Be Furnished by the Evening
Banner Tonight.


The Banner has arranged to receive
full election returns tonight from the
United Press by way of the Western
Union and bulletins will be posted in
Griswold's window
The Banner office will be open from
7.3O this evening until the result is
determined or until one O'Clock if the
result is in doubt.All those who are
interested are invited to call at The
Banner Office or to telephone in
quiries at any time.
If the result is landslide the result
will be known early while if it is
close returns will be of little value
until late in the evening. Reliable in
dications are not probable before $50
to II O'Clock through in 1904 the very
first returns were so decisive that
they left no doubt of the result.
AS has been the custom for the past
2S years at national elections, Griswold
will announce the result of today's bal
lot by the explosion of bombs. Two
reports will indicate that Hughes is
the choice of the people, while three
shots will tell of Wilson victory The
shells will be fired on the even hour
at 1000, 11:00, 1900 or 100 o'clock
as soon after the result is reasonably
certain.
After one o'clock a. IN. all the good
little Elephants, Moose, Camels, Don
keys and Elks will be in bed and it
would be shame to wake them up.
so that if the Banner man is uncertain
as TO who wins by that hour, this pa
per will tell all about it tomorrow af-

NO MORE DOE KILLING
Law Protects Female Deer and I'm
pronged FaWns

The deer hunting season which
opens at 5o'clock on the morning of
Nov. IS and continues to 5 o'clock in
the afternoon of Dec. Is to be differ
ent from recent hunting seasons in
that the shooting of does will be pro-
hibited. The legislative session of
1915 amended the fish and game law
OF the state, permitting both bucks
and does to be killed during that year
Q915) but prohibiting the slaughter of
does thereafter Moreover, the law
stipulates that the wild deer to be
taken must have horns not less than
three inches in length.
Therefore, the hunters who are max
ing their plans to go into the woods Of
Vermont during the 1916 season need
to bear these stipulations in mind lest
they lay themselves liable to prosecu-
tion. We do not think the change in
the law has become sufficiently well
known throughout the whole state as
yet; and hence from this time forth
unusual publicity ought to be given to
the law relating to deer hunting The
main feature to present is that does
are protected, the second that bucks
must have horns not less than three
inches in length, the third that hunt
ing is restricted to the hours between
a. m. and p M. the fourth that
Sunday hunting if prohibited, the fifth
that the season runs from the morn
ing of New Is to the afternoon Of Dec
5, and the sixth that the killing Of
fawns is idden.-Brattleboro Re

Vermont bears the distinction of be
ing the only state in the Union which
has given its electoral vote to the re-
publican presidential ana vice presl-
Dental candidates since the organiza-
tion of the party in 1856. Until the
break in 1912, when the progressives
ran Roosevelt, several other states
held the same record.
Ten southern states have not failed
since 1876 to give their electoral votes
to the democratic party. Though it is
of rare occurrence. a state can divide
its electoral vote. There are several
instances on record. In three or four
instances the candidate receiving the
smaller popular vote secured the cleo
tion by receiving a majority of the
votes in the electoral college.

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS

Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and Coolness and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette
tobacco that they often marvel
that this one brand could be so
different from all others.
The answer to this question is
to be found on the reverse side
of every Prince Albert package,
where you will read; Process
Patented July 30th, 1907" That
tells the whole story. Prince AL
bert is made by patented process
that cuts out the bite and parch,
which makes the tobacco so mighty
agreeable and satisfying to men of
every taste of every civilized ma
tiOn on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years.
continuous work and study and a
fortune in money to prefect. But
the result has proven to be worth
all that was expended upon it.
because IT has set free men who
believed that they never could en-
JOY a pipe or q makin's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible
for every man to smoke a pipe or
to roll his own cigarettes. And,
no matter how tender the tongue.
Prince Albert cannot bite or parch.
That is cut out by the patented
process, leaving for the smoker
only the joys OF the fragrant to-
baccO.
1t is fact that since Prince
Albert arrived" just about six
years ago, it has made three men
smoke pipes where one smoked a
pipe before!
