Arousing Interest.

during the past few weeks over the
three-cornered fight for city representa-.
tive and it is probable that the first
ballot tomorrow will not be decisive
The contest is conceded to be between
William A. Lord, Republican and Lynn
Brooks, Democrat with s. II. Mills, the
Prohibition party nominee playing rath-
er an important part. Normally, Mont
pelier, like practically all Vermont town,
is Republican, but has elected Demo-
Gratis to the office several times dur
! ing the past twenty years. The Demo
Gratis had rather a hard time to select
a candidate, the one being selected at the
primary election declining to run and

Both parties are doing much work for
their candidates and it is certain that
the vote will be large one whoever is
elected
