f the 246 towns in the ptate. The ma
jority of the winner in actual figure is
not so larjfe as the average "off year,"
liut the neopp of the Republican victory
is much wider, The coalition of. the
JVmoerats and Independent Kepuhlicans,
vhile not making many individual vic
tories possible, cut down the difference
between the two votes. Hanson, Pro
hibition, and Sulliivau, Socialist, both of
Barre, polled less than 500 voles between
them.
With two towns jet to be heard from,
Proctor received 42,825; Clement, 2fi,
JS5; Hanson, 244 J. Sullivan, 254. On
this basin, Proctor's majority is 16,142
and his plurality is 10,6:SO, The re
turn from the two missing town, Luii
fnburh in Essex county and iieorgia
in Franklin count, are likely to increase
the Proctor victory slightly.
Every one of the fourteen counties
went strongly for the Republican can
didate with the exception of Benning

banner Proctor counties. Kvcn Wash

IN COUNTY

Yesterday.
FRANK TRACY RAN AHEAD
Three Senators Will Be Frank G. How

It was rumored today that the county

this city had failed of election by a
small margin. , Thei returns from the
county are not yet "complete, but noth
ing has appeared ts indicate anything

else than that Howland was '., elected
along with the rest of the ticket.
In Barre City, Ilowland ran consid
erably ahead of the remainder of the
tikcet, the vote being (10 1 for him, 541
for Moody and 5 10 for Moseley, the
last two being tl'e other Republican can
didates for wnator,. ) X01 Ihtield , he
ran slightly behind the other two can
didates of his party, but eonsdierably
in excess of his opponents. In Water
bury he went ahead of both Mosolcy
aud Moody, while the ticket there went
largely ahead of Fusion. The vote in
Waterbury was: Ilowland 285, Moodv
278, Moseley 282, Melcher 185, Steward
177, Mayo 197.
The totals for Montpelicr are not
available, but ihe county ticket ran con
siderably ahead of the state ticket. In
the smaller towns of the county the
county candidates ran alxiut even with
the state ticket in Berlin, Calais, Dnx
bury, Kast Montpelicr. Fayston. Marsh
field, Middlesex, Piitinticld, Roxbury,
Waitsliehl, Warren, Woodbury and W or
cester. The Republican state ticket was
i given a considerable margin over that
, accorded the Fusionists, so there seems
to be nothing to warrant the assertion
that any of the county ticket fell by
the wayside.
The three county senators will lie
Frank O, How land of Barre, L. (', Moody
of W'Hteiiimy and Ii. C. Moseley of
Northlield.
Sheriff Frank Tracy was one of the

THREE BODIES DIS
CLOSED BY THE SEA
All Were Residents of Providence, R. I.,
and Had Gone Out on a Yacht
ing Cruise.
Fall River, Mass., Sept. 5. Three
bodies found near an overturned catbont
on llorseneck . beach in Went port, fifteen
miles from this city, yesterday, were
identified last night as those, of William
Carroll, age 44 years; Edward Collins,
aged 50, and Waller Lacy, nged 27, all
of Providence, 11. J, ,
The men lef Providence last, Satur
day for a yachting trip to Vineyard
Haven. It is supposed that in a squall
their oat boat was disabled and that, the
men in attempting to reach shore in
a skifr were capsized. The skiff and cat
boat both tilled with water, and badly
damaged, were found near the bodies
011 the beach. :
The catbottt was equipped w-ith an
auxiliary gasoline motor, and on a can
of gasolene, which was found in the
boat, the name "James Carroll, Provi
dence," appeared.' It was this name
which gave ft clew to the identity of
the bodies.
Medical Examiner Thomas F. Chin
ning, who viewed the bodies, said the
men had apparently been dead at. least
twenty-four hours. , Thomas E., a
brother of William. K. Cari'o'l, reached
here last night to claim the body of
the latter. William Carroll lived at
0" Kddy street, Providence, and Col

FRENCH TO LOSE POWER.
Quebec-Province Alarmed by New Ira
: '.. migration.-
Ottawa, Sept. 5. In view of Ihe rapid
peopling . of the ( aiiadien West, some
1 leiii'h -.(.'.annduin leaders of public opin
ion '111 the Province ot luehec are tak
ing n gloomy look into the near future
mi regard to 1jie political inlluence of
their race 111 the destiny of this country.
'J he ti ct that the F.uiopctn laces sj,i-ak-l!ig
tin! Ftetieh language do not tUmre to
any appreciable extent in the tide of
immigration that is now pouring into
all pans of Canada, causes at least, one
ul spoken Irnii'li new spa per, I e Nation
aliste, to predict that in less than n
quarter of a century hence trench -Canadians
will have ceased to be a political
factor in the lovcrument of .the Domin
ion. In an editorial in this paper it is
e-t minted that fiotil lOill to 1911 oer
2 5ii(M)0(l immigrants who know not the
French tongue will have settled in lhn
country.
Today French-Canadians count largely
in the political history of Canada. They
have sixty-five members of Parliament
from (.lueliec Province (and this number
under the constitution cannot be in
creased) out of a total membership in
the House of Commons of 214. In 1921
this journal foresees a population in the
West alone of from Kl.OOO.onO to 12.
000.000. On a readjustment of the. rep
tf sentation as to population fonthe com
mons, there will be ... (dxty-five- French
mi iiibers. to some 600 or 700 KnglUh and
other nationalities. In twenty-five years
b.enee Canada will in all probability
have a Nipiilatioti of upwards of 25,000.
000 or more, and then it may come to
pass that, in order not to have too num
erous a. parliament memlwrship, repre
sentation from Oucliee Province will be
cut down to one-third the present num
Wr, making some twenty French mem
bers in a House of 40(1 or 500. So where
today Quebec is a potent factor in the
Parliament of Canada, it is more than
probable that twenty-five years hence
she will be of little or no force or weight
in the Government of the Dominion.
