VERMONT G. 0. P.
PREFERS GEN. WOOD
Leads in Primary-Little Inter-
est Shown and Small Vote
Cast-Johnson, Coolidge and
Hoover Not Forgotten

The outstanding feature of the presi-
Dental preference primary in Vermont
Tuesday was the marked lack of interest
manifested by the voters. In city, large
town and small town the vote was si'b,i
and by no means representative aithough
the preponderanc of preference SHOWN
by the Republican vote was for General
Wood He and a New York attorney, VIII
liam Grant Webster were the only cahoi-
dates to file papers necessary TO having
their names printed on the primary
ballots. Mr.. Webster, unknown to YER
,nonters and whose candidacy is not
taken seriously, received a small num-
her Of votes.
Returns received by the Free lress
show a strong preference for WOOD
a fairly decent showing for Johnson
sprinkling for Coolidge and a Hoover
man or two in about every town anu moro
than that in some and now ana theh
somebody who would like to see hughes
In the presidential chair. Lowdehs hahe
appeared iufrequently.
The Democratic primary vote was
negligible. but preferences we're eX-
pressed in a majority of towns, one two
or three voters at least expressing his
desire in each place and showing variety
Of choice the favored names being Will
son. McAdoo Marshall. Edwards, Bryan
Cox. Clark and Gerard.
