for him at the primaries and had
bis name placed on the ballot making

nominees.

majority but party lines on ihe bor-ough
ticket were nol recojrnlsed and
workers, who have always been stal-warts
were working in the interest of

cut tickets and while these were being

close contest was on the Asses-
Horship. John Nelll. Republican, de-feated

contests for t'otincilmen. Two

Preacher Defeated
What Ediion Thinks
K.dlson says the next great war will
be fought with machines. Wc used to
think so, too—typewriting machines—
but this press- censorship stuff has
made us skeptical.—Manchester Uni-on.
Rev. Thompson W. McKinney, pas-tor
of the Methodist church at Coates-ville
and who conducted the success-ful
tabernacle campaign here, last
spring, was defeated for the office of
Mayor of Coatesville. Rev. Mr. Mc-
Kinney was the candidate on the
Democratic ticket and waged an ac-tive
campaign.
Professor Holmes, of Swarthmore
College, will speak in the Methodist
Church, on Sunday after, at 2 45 o'-
clock. 'Peace and War," will be the
subject for iiis address. The speak-er
has made an exhaustive study of
this subject and his dissertation has
been so favorably received that the
1-ecture Bureau has asked lor the ad-dress
on the Chatauqua platform, it
is a forceful, convincing, effective
talk and very opportune because
nearly all the world is at war and
our own country urged to a state of
preparedness to keep at peace. On
this subject American statesmen dif-fer
and individual opeinion is at
variance.
In Dr. Holmes it will be Consho-hocken's
opportunity to hear a man
of nation-wide reputation, an able ex-ponent,
a rare scholar, a platform
orator, a man who has had a large
experience prompted by observations
in foreign lands and who practically
lias facts and visions to deliver such
an address. Such a discourse will go
far in helping to clear the atmos-phere
of reason in the direction of
justice so we can hear the call of
special vigilance to properly and
carefully meet responsibility.
The address will be preceded by
musical renditions by the Bible Union
Chorus, and the -popular Union Quar-tet.
Rev. and Mrs. Victor Light-horune,
of Elon College, North Caro-line,
will give soprano solos With
violin abllgota. Prof. Walter DePre-fontalne,
will be the piano accom-panist.
A cordial invitation is extended to
the public.

a runaway and reared up. She was
enjoying a canter along the bridle
path, when the runaway team ap-proached
from the opposite direction.
Before Miss Ross fairly sensed the
situation her horse reared up and she
was thrown with great force. Sev-eral
eye witnesses went to her aid at
once, and the young lady was brought
to her home In an automobile. She
remained perfectly calm in spite of
her injuries and is resting very com-fortably
today. Her horse did not
run away after the mishap and was
easily captured.
