DASHED UPON ROCKS
Mrs. Andrew J. Swenson Thrown
from Bridge in Runaway
Died in Memorial Hospital Wednesday
Evening-Husband Injured in Jump
ing to Her Assistance.

Mrs. Andrew j. Swenson of AZ Fairview
street was fatally hurt in a runaway ac-
cidelt when sho,,was hurled from a car,
riage over the railing of the Elliot street
bridge Wednesday and struck on the
rocks under the shallow water in Whet-
stone brook Her husband, who was
thrown out of the carriage in which they
were riding and who instantly jumped
from the bridge to the rescue of his wife,
has severe cut over one eye and other
injuries, none of which are dangerous.
Mr.. and Mrs. Swenson were elderly
people and Mr.. Swenson has a milk
route. They were driving down the in
cline from Holden & Martins mill yard
to the west end of the Elliot street bridge
when some part of the harness broke and
the horse ran.
Mr.. Swenson tried to turn him on to
the bridge, but the carriage struck the
further corner and Mrs. Swenson was
thrown over the low railing to the bed of
the brook below. Mr.. Swenson was
pinned under the carriage for a mo-
mcnt, but as eye witnesses were hurrying
to his aid he managed to crawl out, looked
over the railing and leaped to the aid of
his wife, a downward plunge into shallow
water on rocky bottom of nearly % feet
j. l.. Bristol, who conducts small store
at the corner of Elliot and Williams streets,
saw the accident and hurried to the aid of
the couple. When he reached the spot
Mr.. Swenson was in the water nearly
to his waist, blood streaming from long
cut over one eye. He was slowly dragging
his wife from the water.
NJ. Drietnl uaS obliooI IN m ofnO,, bo
bank several rods before being able to
climb down to Mr.. Swenson IS aid. To-
gether the two men laid Mrs. Swenson
on the bank. She was bleeding profusely
from several cuts and wounds, but re-
gained consciousness for a few moments
while awaiting the arrival of the ambu-
lance.
1t required several men to get the
stretcher down to the spot where Mrs
Swenson had been laid on the bank and
to bear her up TO the street. She was hur-
ricd to the hospital, where Dr. George Il.
Anderson was awaiting her arrival. She
died there about o'clock that even
ing.
The carriage was smashed but the
horse, after struggling to his feet, re-
NAMED on the bridge until someone had
time to take him to a nearby stable The
| animal was cut and scratched, but was
not seriously injured.
Mrs. Swenson was born in Sweden
Jan. 81, 1915, and came to this coun,
| try when n young woman. The family
moved from Keene, n. H., to Brattle'
| boro in 1902. Besides her husband she
leaves one daughter, Esther Mary
Quist, wife of Rev. Axel j. Quist OF
North Hinsdale, n. II. She leaves al
so one niece, who was adopted when Il
baby, Mrs. Lillian Langua, wife of Mel
son Langua.
The funeral will be held Saturday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the house, AZ
Fairview street. The burial will take
place in Prospect Hill cemetery.

WILSON PROBABLY THE WINNER
Result Had Not Been Definitely Determined Last Night
Owing to Close Vote in Five States

California and one of the smaller states
to get the election BY winning either
Minnesota or California Wilson would
be elected.
The Democrats retained their hold on
the United States senate. The Repub-
Leans made gains in the national house
of representatives., but whether these
were sufficient to give them majority
there was not fully determined.
Hughes carried New York state by
over 100000, New Jersey by $4,000,
Illinois by over 100000, and in several
other states had a big lead. Ohio went
for Wilson by about $4,000.
For the first time in the history of
the country woman was chosen q
member of congress, Miss Jeanette Ran
kin winning in Montana running as a
Republican, while the other member of
congress from that state is a Demo
crat.
On Wednesday morning almost every
paper in the country announced
Hughes S election. This statement was
based on the fact that he had carried a
large part of the eastern and middle
western states except Ohio. The later
returns showed close contests and left
the result in doubt
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1916-11-10
THE RESULT.

The election Tuesday was peculiar to
itself, as the advertisements used to say
about the patent medicines. 1t was a
time when party lines wore not fol
lowed closely and when prophets had
little to figure upon. The New Eng
land states with the possible exception
of New Hampshire, supported the Re-
publican ticket, and New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Iowa and
other states rolled up immense MAORI
ties for Mr.. Hughes. Starting with the
solid South back of him, and gaining a
bunch of the western states, where the
results were almost invariably close,
Mr.. Wilson looked like a winner LIST
night, although there was still posi-
bic chance for Charles f. Hughes to pull
through. 1t is difficult to figure all the
varied influences which were factors in
this campaign. 1t is only fair to say
that the personality of Woodrow Will
son was the greatest asset of the De-
murray. woo uhuOuCbNNiy
the strongest candidate the Republi'
cans could have named, but the tide was
against him by very narrow margin
There is one fact about the election
this year that will be a source of graft
fcation everywhere. The result, with
either Wilson or Hughes in the White
House will not disrupt business. To oui
mind Wilson s foreign policy has been
weak and vacillating, and his actions
in relation to Mexico have been q Sc
ries of blunders, but if the American
people have given him an endorsement
as now seems probable, there is moth
ing to do but to accept the result
phiIosophically and to be thankful
that we did not get some Democratic
leader like Bryan or Champ Clark.

The indications last evening, Thurs
day, were that Woodrow Wilson, Demo
crat, had been reelected to the pres
idency of the United States, defeating
Charles L. Hughes of New York by a
narrow margin. The result was still
called in doubt in many newspaper of
fees, but the chances were certainly
favorable for Wilson.
The table in another column shows
how the states voted. New Hampshire
had been classed as Republican until
yesterday, when, on the face of the re-
turns, Wilson was apparently the vic
tor by III plurality. a recount will
be made.
California, Minnesota, North Dakota
and New Mexico were still in doubt
In total vote of almost half a million
in California, Wilson was leading
Hughes by less than 5,00O and in Mimi
esota, with a total vote of over 144 900
Hughes was leading by a little more
than 800. In North Dakota Wilson was
in first place about 500 votes. New
Mexico was also close, but with Hughes
leading With New Hampshire given
to the Democrats it will be necessary
for Hughes to win both Minnesota anC

HUGHES RAN BEHIND.
Had Lead of $500 in Vermont-Gra-
ham Governor by $4,000 - Senator
Page Ran Ahead of Ticket.

Revised and nearly complete returns
from Tuesday election in Vermont
show that Charles f.. Hughes carried
this state by a plurality of approXi-
mately 10000. Horace +. Graham, Re
publican, gubernatorial candidate, beat
his Democrats opponent, William b.
Mayo, By plurality exceeding 26,000.
With all but 20 small and isolated
towns of the PIG cities and towns in
the state heard from the vote was
Hughes 3s,990; Wilson, 1910. For
governor. the same places gave Ora
ham, Republican, 40,056; Mayo, Demo-
cratic, l4,674. United States Senator
Carroll S. Page was reelected by a
plurality of about 10000 over Oscar c.
Miller and the two congressman, Frank
[. Greene and Porter II. Dale, Repub
Leans, were returned by large MAORI
ties. The Legislature will have a sen
ate without Democrat among the 30
members. With p constituencies unre-
ported the house of representatives will
contain $50 Republicans and 80 Demo
Gratis.
Corrected and virtually complete re-
turns show that though Hughes carried
the state by a plurality Of 1880, he
ran far behind the Republican candi-
dates for governor and United States
senator. With only 10 towns unre-
ported by noon out of its 24G cities and
towns the vote was Hughes, 3S,254
Wilson. 2lS32 The same precincts
gave for governor, Graham, 41,3l2;
Mayo, Democratic, 1889. The vote for
United States senator was Page, Re
publican, 1880; Miller, Democratic,
1926. The state senate will be entire
~ Republican and the house of repre-
sentativcs will include lSS Republic
cans, 46 Democrats and one Socialist,
with Il contests yet to be heard from.

PROHIBITION VICTORY.
Statewide Dryncss Voted in Five
States in the Elections Tuesday-Mis-
souri, and California Wet.

The Anti-Saloon headquarters in
Ohio Wednesday reported it had infor-
nation that the dry forces had won
statewide prohibition fights in five
states at Tuesday 5 election. The states
named were Michigan, Montana, South
Dakota, Utah and Nebraska. Michigan,
it is estimated went dry by $4,000.
With the addition of these states, anti
saloon league officials stated that n
states, one-half the union, are now in
the dry column.
The overwhelming "nay' vote in
st. Louis apparently defeated the
statewide prohibition proposition in
Missouri by more than three to one.
With the total vote of st. Louis and
Kansas City reported and few rural
votes in the count was 1861 for and
l73,7S5 against prohibition. ST. Louis
voted 1922 for the proposition and
10000 against. Kansas City, which
five years ago gave majority of al
most three to one against the PROPOSE
ton, this year voted 81, 900 for and
10000 against.
a tremendous vote in San Francisco
tipped the beam late Wednesday
against state amendment No. i'm
posing rigid restrictions on the sale
and use of alcoholics. There had been
a good majority for the proposition all
day. The San Francisco majority
against the amendment at p. m. was
56,5s9, which led according to former
figures by only 20,065. Amendment No.
! for complete prohibition has not
seemed at any time to be a winner.

DOUBTFUL.

Less than a dozen former representa-
tives were returned to the Vermont
legislature in the elections Tuesday.
This constant rotation in Office gives
recognition to more men, but it
does not bring out the highest possible
efficiency in office. A man who goes
back to the legislature for a second or
third term is far better equipped than
the novice in public affairs. We can re-
call several cases where small towns
have given representatives repeated
elections with the result that these
towns have had influence far beyond
that of the city and large town com
munities.

Kipling's oft-quotcd lines "For east
is east and west is west and never the
twain shall meet" applies to certain
extent in the presidential vote. The
New England states, with the possible
exception of New Hampshire, and New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
came through strongly for Mr..
Hughes, but the western states which
were formerly considered strongly Re
publican went for Wilson, although in
several cases the vote was extremely
close.
