THE REPUBLICAN PARTY Is FEELING
VERY COMFORTABLE, THANK YOU
Paw Paw.
Election passed off quietly in Paw
Paw, a hundred less votes being poled
than in the spring election of year
ago. 1t was republican day, and the
democrat workers had hopeless strug.
gle against the flood of opposing ballots
from the time the polls opened until
they closed. Good, round majorities
were accorded every republican candi-
date except for Justice OF the peace, fol
which office VIM. Ii. Mason, democrat,
was chosen, but he owes his election to
republican votes and republican voters
Had the republicans voted their tickets
straight land none know a good reason
for not doing so) the party could easily
have made clean sweep. The result
on the state ticket, where local preju
dices and local sympathies did not enter
into the contest, shows clearly and
fairly the relative strength of the various
parties in Paw Paw township. Both
precincts gave republican majorites.
Following is the vote in detail, re-
publican candidates being the first
named on the state ticket, democrat
second, peoples third, prohibition
fourth; on the local ticket republican
and union votes appear in the order
named
