DEMOCRATS JUBILANT Republicans Elect State Ticket and Congressman — Democratic Gains Are in Legislature, - , White River Junction, Vt., Sept. 6.— Lieutenant Governor John A. Mead of Rutland, a _retired physician and a prominent business man, was elected Bovernor by the republicans in the state clection today by a_plurality of about 17,000 over Charles D. Watson of St. Albans, a lawyer, his democratic opponent. Theirepublicans elected the balance of the stat ticket and both of their congressmen, but the democrats made gains in the legislature. The re- publican plurality was the smallest, with two exceptions, since 1870, but the party leaders and Chairman Willlams of the state committee declared tonight that the rainstorm was the principal cause of the drop of 12,000 in the party plurality in two years. Democrats Feel Jubijant. N Chairman Harris of the democratic state committes expressed satisfaction with the results and the _democrats throughout the state were inclined to- night to jubilate. Mr. Watson not only carried his own city, but Montpelier, the state capital, as well, a feat un- heard of in Vermont politics. Watson also ran well in the other cities, but the little hill towns stood loyally by Ar. Miead. The returns were unusually slow in coming in and one town clerk remarked over the telephonc: “We've been so busy fighting on the represent- atives that we ain’t going to get round to counting others until tomorrow.” No Opposition to Senator Carroll. The legislature chosen today will elect a United States senator, _for which office the present senator, Car- roll S. Page, has no opposition, Returns for governor from 175 out of 275 election districis, including five cities complete, give Mead (rep.) 22,951, Watson (dem.) 12.147. The correspond- ing vote in 1908 was: Prouty (rep.) 30,- 278, Burke (dem.) 11,580. If the pro- portionate republican’ loss and demo- cratic gain thus far shown is main- tained in the rest of the state the re- publican plurality will be about 17,000 as comparad with 29,645 given Prouty in 1008. - TELEPHONES WORK WELL FOR TRAIN DESPATCHING Greater Efficiency in Operating Is Se- cured. = New York. Sepi. 6.—Telephones have superseded the telegraph for train des- patching on the Delaware, Lackawan- na & Western railroad. Trains now come and go in accordance with the new system, amd any conductor of a freight train, .instead of swearing himself hoarse on a siding to no pur- pose. may now call up the train de: patcher's office and relieve his mind. It is stated by the management that the trains can be located with greater rapidity by telephone than by tele- graph. Besides the hooths at the towers and stations there are also fa- cilities “for telephoning from sidings. Heretofore when a freight train met with an accident a train despatcher was usually sent with the wrecking crew. The train master now gives all the information by word of mouth and receives information quickly in Teturn. L. B.
