T SIjc Cott0l)o!)oclictt fUtortai;. PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY 4751 THE CONSHOHOCKEN KKC ORDER, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1914 $!_ ] »ER YEAR ELECTIONS WERE A BIG REPUBLICAN SWEEP REPUBLICANS CARRY EVERY WARD IN NORRISTOWN, BRIDGE PORT AND THE CONSHOHOCK-ENS— SOLID DEMOCRATIC DIS-TRICTS SWUNG OVER FOR THE FIRST TIME. BULL MOOSE A SMALL FACTOR. Tuesday's elections were a great vic-tory for the Republicans, every ran-didate being elected with big plural-ities. The Washington party was but a small factor in the elections, Its candidates running a bad third. William Neville, of this borouvh, candidate for the general assembly, was given a fine vote in the district. Conshohocken gave a larger plur-ality for the Republican ticket than it has done in years. For the first time in history the First ward gave a plu-rality for the entire Republican tick-et. The Washington party vote was a sore disappointment to its leaders and shows that the Republicans of the county are again united. Conshohocken's pluralities ranged from 512 for I^efean to 615 for Mc- Clain who led the ticket. Brumbaugh was given 596 and Penrcse 588 while Neville was given 533 plurality. Weat Conshohocken gave the Re-publicans a fine vote, the Second ward, which U the stronghold of the borough's Democracy, gave a plurality for the entire Republican ticket. Other surprises were at Bridgeport and Nor ristown where the Republicans car-ried every ward. The wards of Deputy Internal Rev-enue Collector John .1. Ferry, James Farrell, Democratic candidate for as-sembly and of lxiuis N. McCarter, the Washington party leader, gave plur-alities for all the Republican candi-dates. The Republicans won the assembly-men in the First, Second and Third districts while the Fourth elected Harvey Christman, Democratic coun-ty chairman. Watson was elected congressman with big pluralities in both counties while Knight, the Washington candi-date made a very poor showing. The state gave Penrose over 200,- 000 plurality and Brumbaugh had ov-er 140,000. The weather was perfect and the voters came to the polls with their linn.Is made up as to how they were going to vote. Many Democrats lcok ed at the specimen ballots and made known their intentions of voting a straight Republican ticket. The in-dustrial conditions here as elsewhere were responsible for the big slide to Republicanism. • • • Montgomery.

The fire which was supposed to have originated frcta gunners, burnt over an extensive area on both sides of the hill, consuming leaves and underbrush in large quantities, stumps of trees, communicating with chestnut tree3 that were affected with the blight and burning many of them off at the base, and emitting great volumes of smoke in all directions. The fire was supposed to have start-ed some time during Tuesday, night or Wednesday morning, and while It was 01 nlined to that iwrtion of the woods near what is known as "Bed-bug row'' for some time, by Wednesday night the blaze had spread to the Mechan-icsville section, terrorizing many of the residents of the village. Men and boys in numbers with rakes, shovels, cedar bushes and dif-ferent other things fought the fire for some time and it was finally re-duced to small proportions, but some of the tree stumps continued to burn during Wednesday night. No prop-erty at Mechanicsville was damaged.. Members of the George Clay Fire Company, of West Conshohocken brought their auto-chemical engine to Mechanicsville, to fight the flames, but the apparatus did not go into ac-tion, as the fire was under control. That "Bed-beg row" did not ignite was a miracle, as a large dead tree which was on fire and emitting sparks, broke off and crashed to the ground near the building, which is unoccu-pied. The continued dry weather is re-sponsible for the blaze spreading to sucli dimensiens. The fire was one of the most spectacular that ever occur-red In this section, and it could be seen at a great distance at night. Many persons in automobiles came to Gulf Mills on Wednesday night think-ing that buildings were on fire. Yesterday the fire was still smoul-dering in many places and liable to break out again. Property owners at Gulf Mills, among whom was Percy Varlan, who assisted In fighting the flames were of the opinion that it would be a step in the right direction to organize a fire company in the rural districts including Gulf Mills. Mr. Varian's proposition will no doubt meet With approval by the residents, as many or them own their homes, and he owns considerable realty in that section.

PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY 4751 THE CONSHOHOCKEN KKC ORDER, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1914 $!_ ] »ER YEAR ELECTIONS WERE A BIG REPUBLICAN SWEEP REPUBLICANS CARRY EVERY WARD IN NORRISTOWN, BRIDGE PORT AND THE CONSHOHOCK-ENS— SOLID DEMOCRATIC DIS-TRICTS SWUNG OVER FOR THE FIRST TIME. BULL MOOSE A SMALL FACTOR. Tuesday's elections were a great vic-tory for the Republicans, every ran-didate being elected with big plural-ities. The Washington party was but a small factor in the elections, Its candidates running a bad third. William Neville, of this borouvh, candidate for the general assembly, was given a fine vote in the district. Conshohocken gave a larger plur-ality for the Republican ticket than it has done in years. For the first time in history the First ward gave a plu-rality for the entire Republican tick-et. The Washington party vote was a sore disappointment to its leaders and shows that the Republicans of the county are again united. Conshohocken's pluralities ranged from 512 for I^efean to 615 for Mc- Clain who led the ticket. Brumbaugh was given 596 and Penrcse 588 while Neville was given 533 plurality. Weat Conshohocken gave the Re-publicans a fine vote, the Second ward, which U the stronghold of the borough's Democracy, gave a plurality for the entire Republican ticket. Other surprises were at Bridgeport and Nor ristown where the Republicans car-ried every ward. The wards of Deputy Internal Rev-enue Collector John .1. Ferry, James Farrell, Democratic candidate for as-sembly and of lxiuis N. McCarter, the Washington party leader, gave plur-alities for all the Republican candi-dates. The Republicans won the assembly-men in the First, Second and Third districts while the Fourth elected Harvey Christman, Democratic coun-ty chairman. Watson was elected congressman with big pluralities in both counties while Knight, the Washington candi-date made a very poor showing. The state gave Penrose over 200,- 000 plurality and Brumbaugh had ov-er 140,000. The weather was perfect and the voters came to the polls with their linn.Is made up as to how they were going to vote. Many Democrats lcok ed at the specimen ballots and made known their intentions of voting a straight Republican ticket. The in-dustrial conditions here as elsewhere were responsible for the big slide to Republicanism. • • • Montgomery.

The fire which was supposed to have originated frcta gunners, burnt over an extensive area on both sides of the hill, consuming leaves and underbrush in large quantities, stumps of trees, communicating with chestnut tree3 that were affected with the blight and burning many of them off at the base, and emitting great volumes of smoke in all directions. The fire was supposed to have start-ed some time during Tuesday, night or Wednesday morning, and while It was 01 nlined to that iwrtion of the woods near what is known as "Bed-bug row'' for some time, by Wednesday night the blaze had spread to the Mechan-icsville section, terrorizing many of the residents of the village. Men and boys in numbers with rakes, shovels, cedar bushes and dif-ferent other things fought the fire for some time and it was finally re-duced to small proportions, but some of the tree stumps continued to burn during Wednesday night. No prop-erty at Mechanicsville was damaged.. Members of the George Clay Fire Company, of West Conshohocken brought their auto-chemical engine to Mechanicsville, to fight the flames, but the apparatus did not go into ac-tion, as the fire was under control. That "Bed-beg row" did not ignite was a miracle, as a large dead tree which was on fire and emitting sparks, broke off and crashed to the ground near the building, which is unoccu-pied. The continued dry weather is re-sponsible for the blaze spreading to sucli dimensiens. The fire was one of the most spectacular that ever occur-red In this section, and it could be seen at a great distance at night. Many persons in automobiles came to Gulf Mills on Wednesday night think-ing that buildings were on fire. Yesterday the fire was still smoul-dering in many places and liable to break out again. Property owners at Gulf Mills, among whom was Percy Varlan, who assisted In fighting the flames were of the opinion that it would be a step in the right direction to organize a fire company in the rural districts including Gulf Mills. Mr. Varian's proposition will no doubt meet With approval by the residents, as many or them own their homes, and he owns considerable realty in that section.
