DEPRIVED OF VOTES.
Through Faulty Judgment Of Election
Officials, Says Fleetwood.

Morrisville, Nov. 9,-Frederick g.
Fleetwood, epresenativeselect to the
next Congress from the first Vermont
district, stated yesterday that he be-
lieyes ballots, cast in the election Tues
day, on which crosses were placed OPP
posite his name as Republican and
Prohibition candidate, should all have
been counted in his favor. 1t is under
stood that in some voting districts
ballots SO marked were credited to Mr..
Fleetwood, while in. other places they
were declared defective. Mr.. Fleetwood
asserts that there is no provision In
law, and that no decision has been rem
dered by Vermont court, that would
Justify the action of election officials IN
falling to count in his favor the bal
lots on which voters had made crosses
opposite his name twice.
Mr.. Fleetwood said that, although
he had the matter under consideration,
he had not reached a decision as to
whether he would take steps tohave the
votes on. the alleged defective ballots
credited to him, but that it is doubt
full if he win make any move IN the
matter.
The new representative-elect was not
disposed to-day to discuss possible rea-
sons for his total vote in the district
being less than that OF his associates
n nthe Republican ticket.

Fargo Currier News claiming the elec-
ton of Lynn J. Frazier, recalled Non

kota. to the United States Senate, j..
r. T. O'Connor, his Democratic oppo-
nent. had a lead of about 1000 votes
when tabulation of returns was re-
sumed to-day.
O'Connor's lead in returns reported
from the cities and the eastern part
of the state dropped sharply from l5,-
600 Yesterday to 1000 last night. On

chosen for the Senate. The newspaper

5000.

Two Men Got Away,
Whether Hurt Or Not
Is Tn artain

Pursued by off and fearing their

two men in 7 cunning automobile
drove so fast - passing through
Williamstown 3 night at midnight
that they wer ~ the road at turl
just north of - gulf, struck Stand
ard Oil dan sy signal, wrecked their
Buick-six re oo.r and landed in the
swamp besi 3 e road, breaking prac-
tically all the -ottles of their whiskcy

Word of the flight Of the rum-run-
ming machine southwark was sent 70
Williamstown and Brookfeld by Dep
uty United States Marshal Henry 9.
Lawson of Montpelier and Deputy
Chief OF Police Harry A. Gamble of
Barre. Williamstown parties went out
to intercept the car as it passed
through the village but the maehina
was going so fast that all the people
could do was to jump out Of the way TO
save their lives.
Seeing that the officers were hot on
their trail, the men in the car accel-
Grated their speed and were making
very fast time when they came to the
sharp turn, one of several just before
entering. Willamstown gulf. The mos
mentum of the car was so great that
thew could not get around the curve,
the vehicle shot off the highway and
against the danger signal set up beside
the road.
After the automobile stsuck this
danger signal, it turned end for end
and then plunged into the muck OF
the swamp beside the highway 50
fast was The car going that the impact
with the signal smashed the automo-
bile beyond repair, breaking every
wheel and driving the engine back into
the body of the car besides apparently
breaking most Of the bottles in the ma
chine. Those who came along tins
morning saw the wreck standing right
side up in the mud and the broken bot
ties strewn about.
Whether the two occupants OF the
automobile were hurt or not is uneer-
tain. They made getaway soon after
| they picked themselves out OF the mud
but they sdelayed long enough to re-
| move the registration plates Of the car,
| If it was. carrying plates at all, thus
removing one Of the best means OF
identification Of the parties. Other
signs which would reveal the identity
Of the occupants we're obliterated or re-
moved.
The automobile was good vehicle
and was capable of making fast speed.
The rate of progress through Williams
town in the darkness of the night was
estimated at around 40 miles an hour
and it is probable that that speed at
least was being maintained when the
party reached the cure near the gulf.
The car was still beside the road this
afternoon.

RED CROSS DRIVE
IN BARRE NOT. 10
Record Of Another Year of Successful
Work Is Back Of the
Move.

with the record of another year Of
helpful and constantly expanding COM
munity service nearing an end, the
Barre chapter Of the Red Cross is about
to make its annual appeal to the people
Of this city and vicinity. Thursday,
Nov. l6, is the day set apart for the
drive. and the local canvass will form
part of the natioh-wide roll call OF
the American Red Cross.
Division of the city into districts, the
appointment Of team captains and COM
mittees, and the assignment Of teams
are among the details which are being
worked out at Red Cross headquarters
on Keith avenue. For the reason that
very large proportion OF the funds
subscribed locally is to be used right
here at home, there is an obvious obli-
cation on the part of everyone to con-
tribute literally The work of the Red
Cross in Barre this year, with its nurs-
ing service, has more than justified ey-
ery expectation and hundreds Of peo-
ple who have come in direct contact
with the results of the serevice know
that 1t is deserving of every cent that
possibly can be contributed toward
| it.
That the Barre friends Of the Red
Cross may understand clearly the basis
on which their subscriptions are APP
Piled to the local work, it should be ex-
blamed that one half of the annual
membership Of 81 is retained for local
work. Contributing memberships are
S. and of this sum S4.50 goes for the
work here in Barre. If it is sustain
ing membership, $40, the local chapter
retains $3.50.
Since the war the Red Cross chapter,
with its visiting nurse service, has be-
come a vital factor in welfare work.
Taken alone, the good work performed
| by the Red Cross nurse here in Barre
| this wear deserves not only the COM
mendation, but the heartiest support
of the public. Barre cannot afford 70
| let this invaluable work suffer for lack
of funds. The Red Cross drive, Nov,
| Is. deserves a whole hearted response
| if the work is to be maintained and
enlarged.

CRAZY MAN SHOT THREE

!. THEN KILLED HIMSELF
BRITISH COMMENT.
Is That Harding Administration Was
Criticized.


London, Nov. 0, tBy the Associated
Press) The come back made by the
Democrats in the American elections
last Tuesday is explained to British
readers by their newspapers in many
ways, and the speculation which the
editorial writer's indulge in is quite
diversified. Some think the pendulum
merely swung back, but Others inter
pret the voting as revealing widespread
dissatisfaction with the Harding ad-
ministration and many of its works
including the tariff an dthe enforce
ment of prohibition.
Throughout England the American
elections have attracted more editorial
comment than is often the case.
The Times pays a tribute to the
Harding administration as one which
has achieved successes of which Amer
lea may well be proud notably in its
eminentity slSilfull handling Of the
great international congress- at Wash
ington last fall That newspaper
thinks that the violence with which
the pendulum swung back, may de-
range the Republican party machine
and other mechanisms in ways wholly
undesirable and unforeseen.
The Chronicle regards the Democratic
victories as quite enormous and signI-
ficient and ascribes the change as part
lyl the result of natural swing OF the
pedulum partly to the Excessive ap-
plication Of prohibition and partlyl TO
the dissatisfaction witlH the supremacy
OF big business interests and the tariii.
The new strength of the Democratic
party viii surely make itself felt, the
Chronicle adds, telling its readers that
the Democrats still retain allegiance
to the ideals of Woodrow Wilson
The Westminster Gazette derives
from the election results the hope that
the Americans are veering somewhat
toward co-opration with the league OF
nations. although it thinks it hardly
lpossibl that there will be any consider
able change in the attitude Of the
United States on this question in the
immediate future. The Westminster
Gazette was surprised that women
candidates were so unsuccessful.
The Daily News says the turnover
was due mostly perhaps to the gener-
"A disgust of the electorate with the
failure Of the Harding administration
to do anything at all. 1t will make
the already hard task of that adminis-
tration still harder.
The Dublin, Freeman's Journal says
the Americans. when they were sick OF
Wilson and the treaty of Versailles,
had to vote Republican to get rid OF
them. but they did not desire to be
dosed with Republicanism.
