Newport Election Day Is
Tame; Small Woman
Vote POlled

Orleans county had no contest
to disrupt or excite its voters, but
there were some lively town rep
resentative fights, and a good vote
WIS recorded in consequence. For
U. S. Senator Frank l.. Greene had
319S to 56G for Dr. G. B. Mayo;
Congressman Dale carried every
town in the county, his total being
340S to 416 for Wilson; for gov
ernor, Hon. Redfeld Proctor had
an even 2500 to 473 for J. H.
Jackson.
For county senators 0. w.
Locke led with a total OF 3410. S.
ID, Bates 1921, as against 1888 for
c. f. Jenkins and 364 for w. F.
Pike. Fred /. Parlin and F. w.
Tcnney won for assistant judges
by a total of 1919 and 1898, as
against 1868 for A. p Bean and 378
for ]. F. Wright 1t was f. ].
Smith and E. ]. Smith for Judge
OF Probate, but the voters prefelr-
ed the republican variety by a vote
Of 1857 to 273.
For states attorney it was A. W.
Falman versus A. W. Falman, and
the electorate also preferred the
republican brand by vote of 3342
to 239 E. J. Hill won for sheriff
with 3439 against $40 for Roy
Skinner, and Solon e. Gray was
elected high bailif' by a vote Of
330S as against 373 for H. V.

Election day in Newport was a
tame and quiet affair. City Clerk
Spear hustled down to the city Of
flee at fve-thilty and all was IN
readiness for the early voters at
six o'clock, but not a soul appear
ed until after seven.
The total vote was extremely
light, being about half the vote
cast at the primaries in September,
and only about one-third Of the
vote Of the ely. Up to noon, not
hundred votes had been received,
but from one to three they came
very fast, as it was learned by
many at the last moment that the
box for city representatives would
be turned at three o'clock.
Aaron H. GrOut, city represen-
tatlve was given 349 votes, Mayor
W. c. Lindsay though a Republi-
can was the Democratic party's
candidate and polled a 104 votes.
Fifteen spoiled and one scattering
made total of 4G9.
While it was a foregone conclu-
sion that the republican ticket
would be elected with almost no
opposition the ballots show that
the democrats gave their candi-
dates a much larger vote according
to their numbers. The total vote
cast was 1856 with II spoiled. The
woman vote was also pond
irgly small as compared with the
number voting ut the primaries.
True and Blanchard Co. during
the evening gave the election news
by radio, and large crowd gath
cred to listen were able to hear
cleary the early returns.
For town representative, Orleans
county will go to Montpelier with
1S republicans and one democrat. /.
The lone Jacksonian is Henry Nc /
CURE the representativ from AL ;
bGny. The Orleans county list will

Greensboro, A. II. Grow of Bur
lington, and others who are sure
to be heard from. All in all the
