With all Vermont's 245 town heard from, with thirteen exceptions, small and the total vote for different parties follows: Republican, Democrat, Prohibition, 639; Socialist, 437; Independence League, 1,012.

This makes the plurality for Prouty, for Governor, over Burke, Democrat, 25,918. The plurality is the smallest on a Presidential year since wIht. it was only 17,956, and was followed by a Democratic national victory. There was a falling off In four years of about 8 per cent. In the Republican vote, while the Democratic vote fell off about 2 pr cent.

The Independence League appeared for the first time and polled about votes, while the Prohibition and Socialistic vote remained about the same. An unusually large number of local contests for mcmbres of tha Legislature, althouerh bringing out a heavy vote, and resulting In Democratic gains In the lower branch of the Legislature, apparently had no bearing on the Gubernatorial fight. Chairman Mack was delighted to note that the Democrats have almost doubled their representation in the Legislature. The Republican vote fell off in the cities. There the Democrats made gains.

Mr. Burke ran exceedingly well in his own city, Burlington, reducing the Republican margin of 200 four years ago to sixty-foux votes. He also made a good showing In Barre.j but fell behind In St. Albans and in several of the large towns. On the other hand the little towns up In the fastnesses of the Green Mountains stood loyally by tbe Republican party as of old, rolling up majorities Mack Gratified.

National Chairman Mack also expressed gratification- at the result. "The returns ao far as received," he said, show that the Republicans lost about 8 per cent in their voting strength since the last Presidential election, while our loss Is slight. This is a gain in percentage for the. Democrats and this despite the fact that we spent no money for campaign purposes there.
