The Democrats gained few seats in
the legislature. The total vote was small.
Representative contests of an ex-
tremcly close nature marked the cleo
ton in nearly every large town. Mason

Il. f.. Bailey, Democrat meeting the
same fate that came to Frank Il. Bar

Bennington was defeated by Ward Lyons.

There were some upsets in the advance
dope concerning town representatives in
some of the Windham county towns.
Besides the election OF DIR. f.. Il. Lynch,
Independent, in Brattleboro, an Inde-
pendent. W. G.. Baker, was elected in

Perhaps the most notable upset was

GROWING INDEPENDENTS.

In n recent address in Brattleboro
Senator-elcct Frank l.. Greene noted
the growing tendency throughout the
country to ignore old party lines. That
tendency was in evidence in Tuesday
Election right here in Vermont-in the
narrow margin by which James r. Ken
ncdy failed to be chosen Democrat
representative from the first district over
Frederick g. Fleetwood, in Mr.. Greene's
failure to carry his own city of st. AL
bans, in the many towns where the reg
ular Republican nominee for representa-
tive was defeated by Democrat or In
dependent candidate. Certain it is
that the old slogans have lost their
power TO conjure, the old lines are grow
ing faint, and new political cleavage
is in sight on the horizon.
There were, of course, different rea-
sons for the happenings above mem
toned Mr.. Kennedy's remarkable show
ing cannot be considered as else than
an expression of dissatisfaction with the
Volstead law, because that was his only
issue and with it he cut normal ma
jority of 10000 down to less than 1,500,
yet Republicans had to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket to make that protest count.
In the case of Congressman Grecne's
poor showing in st. Adams, that may be
laid to the courageous course he has fol-
lowed on national labor legislation.
As for the numerous instances where
Republican legislative candidates fell by
the waysidc, that may be attributed
chiefly to tho record made lE the last
legislature. One paper says the lesson
of the election is for the Republicans to
''clean Their financial. house and do i
conscientiously.' They certainly must
do that and they will be far more likely
to do it with a liberal sprinkling of
Democrats and Independents in the
house of representatives.
There is nothing to be deplored, how
ever, in the fact that Vermonters are
showing an inclination to ignore party
labels when they think the circumstances
Justify it. Even the strongest parti-
san papers in the state are free to adj
NIT that more efficient administration,
more careful scrutiny of expenditures
and greater zeal in keeping political
promises would follow more even diyi-
sion of party strength.

HEAVY GAINS BIZ DEMOCRATS.
United States Election Cuts Republican
Senate Majority in Half, and House
Majority to Handful

Tuesdays elections throughout the
United States showed strong Demo
cratic tlnge in contrast TO the immense
Harding landslide of 1920. The Rcpub-
leans will continue in control of con
gIcSs but their senate majority has been
cut in half and their house majority of
100 slashcd 10 Il Scaut handful Tight
races in few close districts have made
final figures on the result impossible. II
looks now ms if the Republicans would
have six or seven votes over the ncccS-
Sary 2lS for the control of the house

cans -, Democrats IL and Farmer-L La

slider Enlarging Institution.

SHUT .EhIaTglng institution.
AT Il meeting of the. directors of the
Brattlcboro Memorial hospital Friday
night Mr.. and Mrs. George l.. Durham
announced Il gift of $4,000 to the hos
pltal corporation in addition to the 49,
ooo they had previously given toward
the erection of nurses home as u me
Moral for their daughter. Marion. This
splendid gift will make possible the i'm
mediate erection of n nurses home
something the hospital has badly needed
Tor long time, and it is the expecta-
ton of the directors that work on the
new structure will be started this fall
In connection with the Durham gift
the directors took up the necessity of en-
iarging the hospital itself. not only to
accommodate the increasing number of
patients but TO enable increased efficiency
IN the way of operation and mainten-
ancc.
In the opinion of the directors. hos
pltal superior 10 any in this locality is
within reach of Brattleboro at rcla-
lively small cost. 1t is understood that
Richards VI. Bradley. representing the
Thompson Fund trustees. is heartily in
sympathy with the project of hospital
enlargement and has intimated that adj
dltlonal revenue may be forthcoming
from the trust to assist in the work. In
addition to this. however. it would be
necessary 10 secure some local contri-
buttons, and that is Il phase of the mat
ter which the hospital directors say will
be explained more in detail as the pro-
jet progresses.
The question of increasing the size and
efficiency of the Memorial hospital has
been under consideration for more than
Il year. not only by the directors but
by 4 board of trade committee composed
of II. c. Rice. f. l.. IIildreth and G. A.
Boydcn. which was appointed to reach
an amicablp understanding between the
town and the Thompson trustees on all
matters pertaining TO the funds admin
istrGtion in Brattleboro. This commit
tee has had number of conferences
with Mr. Bradley and hopes to report
soon on n definite plan of hospital en-
largement that will have the approval
alike of the Thompson trustees. the hos
pitnl directors, the committee and the
public at large.

\ rather unusuaG tobacco story comes
via the Barre Times, in which Charles
w. Preston, ~. OF Mortified Falls
said to be the Oldest travelling salesman
in the state-igurcS. Mr.. Preston. it
seems, is very fond of tobacco. both
smoking and chewing. but the odd thing
about this habit is that he INDUCES only
six months of the year, from July to
january. The rest of the year he is Il
total abstaincr. He evidently turns
over new leaf every New Year like
many others. but his stays turned until
July.

PUT TREES ALONG HIGHWAYS
Cogent Reasons Why There Should
Be Termination of the Present
Day NegIectfuI Attitude.

If you are short of sentiment. and
think more about money than you do
about the service that your soldiers
gave you, even that is no excuse for
being tree Stacker. Your HELM is
wanted in planting trees along the ma
TONS highways in memory of the
services of all soldiers of the World
war. 1t will pay you in dollars, If
that is any argument Property with
shade trees brings higher price than
property without it. Roads with trees
give comfort to you and your children
and your children's children.
Shelter and shade are two of the
blessings the trees give us. In these
days of the scarcity and high price Of
fuel for our homes and schools, trees
are an asset as windbreaks. A group
of trees on the windward side of your
building keeps it warm against the
cold blasts.
The heat Of summer is bearable
with scattered trees and their shade
along your paths. The attractiveness
of any place is enhanced by trees.
With little care you can plant
memory trees on home grounds, street,
school lawns, or parks.
Trees cool and purify the air. Pub
lie forests have been used for health
resorts because of the trees. If you
plant a few trees together, happy
groups here and there, they will re-
ward you without fail.
