Vermont Vote Keeps Republicans in Power Across State
Republicans carried Vermont for George H. Prouty of Newport by about 28 000 votes, keeping control of both legislative chambers and the governor’s office. David J. Foster won Congress in the First district, Frank Plumley the Second, while the Independence League and Prohibition-Socialist lines drew modest support. Democratic gains in the lower house did not deter the GOP statewide victory or the selection of a Republican-led legislature.
