BILLINGS WINS IN
 VERMONT PRIMARY
Lieutenant Governor Defeats Stevens in Gubernat0rial Race

Montpelier, Vt, Sept. 1O.--Ernest W. Gibson of Brattleboro, republican congressman from the second Yer mont district, won a comparatively easy victory in his campaign for re- nomination In the state primaries yesterday. He defeated John w. Gordon. of Barre by n plurality of S7oo votes out of total for the dis trict of less than 1s,000. He carried six of the seven counties.
 The only other contests on either the republican or democratic tickets were for the republican nomination for governor and lieutenant-govcr- nor. For the former place Franklin K. Billings, the present Lieutenant Governor, defeated Roland E. Stew ems of White River Junction by vote of almost three to one. He car- ried every county in the state. The , nomination for lieutenant governor went to State Senator Walter K. Farnsworth who won over State Senator J. Gregory Smith. Smith carried his own county, Franklin, but all of the others were in the Farnsworth column.
 The vote of the state, with few small towns missing, was:
 For republican governor:
 Billings 2S,29S; Stevens 10,S16.
 For republican lieutenant gover- nor:
 Farnsworth 2S,O55; Smith 1S,544.
 The congressional vote was:
 Gibson, 11,31,4 Gordon, 7,573.
 Congressman Gibson's act in vot- ing to override President Coolidge's veto of the soldiers bonus bill had been used as campaign argument against him. Other than this their were no issues raised having any bearing on the national campaign. Mir. Stevens in his campaign for the gubernatorial nomination directed most of his attention to the matter of better roads and stricter law en- forcement.
 The vote was light in spite of the efforts of the candidates to roll up a good total. Less than 10, ,oOo repub- licans visited the polls yesterday as against total republican vote in the election two years ago of 49,161 and 6S,220 in the last presidential cleo ton.
 Storms disrupted wire communi- cations with several small towns and among those from which no report was received as a result was Presi- dent Coolidge's birthplace, Plymouth
