LOCAL VOTING IN
BENNINGTON AND
RESULTS SHOWN
Redfeld Proctor Got More Votes
Than Any Other
ROOT LED COUNTY TICKET
Republican Justice Ticket In
Bennington Elected By
400 to 500 Majorities

! Bennington actually cast fewer
votes yesterday than two years ago
At least the totals for the various
candidates for any one place did not
get up to the 1920 figures tho 1t was
believed yesterday that record vote
had been cast.
The election OF Ward l.. Lyons by
three majority over Edward II. Hold
| en- was only little closer than the
vote of four years ago when e. d.
Moore was elected by margin of
nine over l.. J. Eddington
William A. Root, candidate for
county senator led the voting in this
county as far as the county ticket is
concerned with Edmond La Fran.
chise for side judge close second.
Redfield Proctor for governor, how,
ever, led all others in this county
which seems rather remarkable in
view OF the fact that he is but little
known here.
Kennedy carried Bennington by
ATS and the county by 131. His ma
jority here wss less than expected
but in the county he ran ahead of
estimates
There were fewer spoiled ballots
than usual. In spite OF the large num-
Der OF women voting, very few of
them asked for assistance. Most Of
them knew just exactly what they
were trying to do though many Of
them voted only part of the ticket.
The contests, in which the person
alities Of the candidates figured to a
considerable extent, made some pc
cullar shifts In the vote In the town
OF Bennington. The normal vote n
town is usually best indicated by the
count on the justice ballot and here
the leading Republican candidate beat
the best vote-getter in the Democratic
list by over five hundred.
Likewise the vote for assistant
judges was probably a normal one in
Bennington. LaFranchise received
1924 votes and 1862 were cast for
Judge Roberts of Rupert. Bennington
cast 667 votes for Bacon and 500 for
Howard, the democratic candidates
for assistant judges.
George A. Mathers. the successful
candidate for states attorney, receiv-
ed 1892 votes in Bennington as against
SS6 for Charles A .Maurer, his demo.
cratic opponent. Mathers won In ev.
cry town in the county with the ex.
ception of Dorset, but was cut lit
tie in spots though not enough to
amount TO anything The name of
Henry Chase was written in on few
ballots in several towns.
The Bennington vote for justices OF
the peace was as follows:

Second IN line was Pat Mills. tn,
Republican nominee, who polled, 16.
votes on the first ballot and 1853 on tn,
second. Dan 0'Brien secured 1870 ol
the first ballot and 1l6 on the second
showing loss of IA votes, which ap

i AT the close of the second ballot, /
was decided to leave the ballot boxe
open on the third ballot throughou

might be secured and a majority TO
some one candidate. So the fight vii
continue throughout today.

THOMPSON FOR I
SHERIFF BEATS
GARDNER BY 299
Gardner Had Majority Outside
Town of Bennington
BEATEN BY WOMEN VOTE
Rest of Republican County Tick
ct Wins Easily-Democrats
Get Five Representatives

In this county Patrick II. Thomp
son OF Arlington was elected sheriff
IN the election Tuesday defeating
Sheriff Perry B. Gardner by a major
ity of 299 on the face OF the figures
as collected by the Banner last
night. Bennington elected Ward l.
Lyons, Democrat, to the legislature
over Edward II. Holden by a majority
of 3, the total vote being, 1916 to
1243.
Never before has contest drag
ged out so in Bennington as did the
counting OF the vote for representa-
tive. The vote in the two regular
boxes in this village after being
counted and recounted showed tie
OF 1920 to 1920 but scattering repre-
sentative ballots were found in the
other boxes and 1t was nearly mid
night when the last OF them was
sorted out OF the justice box. The
margin switched back and forth by
one or two and the partisaDs OF each
candidate were alternately elated
and discouraged, the victory finally
settling on Mr.. Lyons.
Notwithstanding the closeness OF
the contest Bennington never before
has had a contest so absolutely de-
void of ill-feeling. From start TO fin.
ish everybody was friendly to both
candidates and the candidates were
friendly with each other.
4 The election yesterday showed the
need of additional polling places in
Bennington. During considerable
part of the day Library Hall was en-.
tirely inadequate. Upstairs and par.
ticularly crowded as 1t was. old peo.
pie. and those partially disabled physi
cally, hesitated to undertake to vote.
Also the election officers could not
handle the voting properly as was
shown by the number OF ballots In
the wrong boxes. 1t is also true that
Library Hall could not accommodate
the number of booths required by law
for town OF this size.
The total vote OF Bennington was
less than half the number registered
and II is estimated that nearly half
those voting were women. 1t seems
likely that the women were largely
responsible for the defeat of Sheriff
Gardner as the majority against him
was stronger in Bennington than out
side and the same vote was larger
here than in the rest of the county.
Thompson and Gardner broke prac
tically even in the county outside OF
Bennington. Gardner carried the
county outside of Bennington by Ii
but Thompson's majority OF 3l4 IN
this town decided the issue.
