| The primary results in Montpelier
were obtained early in the evening, and
rechecking of the original figures
showed but little change, Clement lead
ing by As votes. Darling's small vote was
surprise to everybody, for his support
ers had been claiming that he would
carry the town. That the city would
have been a Howe town, as originally
claimed, is assured if Clement had not
been in the fight Mr.. Clements vote
would have been some 50 larger if there
had not been so many spoiled ballots,
four wards reporting from 10 to l6, all
of which were attempts on the part OF
the voter to support Element, but in so
doing they did not change entirely and
voted the rest Of the ticket Democratic
ally.
In spite of the fact that Charles Nc
Kenna had withdrawn because he is in
railroad employ, he drew As votes for
city representative. That the Republi-
cans crossed over 20 l. B. Brooks quite
generally Is shown by the fact that he
ran nearly $50 ahead of his ticket The
claim that but little interest has been
manifested in the politics was substan-
tiated, at least in the city, where COS
votes were cast against an average vote
OF from 1900 to | 400.
