When the republican ring pulled An
drew R. Snow out from road commits
sioner's candidacy they lost every
thing. Mr.. Dugan, the elected com
missioner, was elected a second term
by that move. The vote was: Dugan,
544; Burnett, 497. Burnett polled a
good vote considering the man he was
running against, Mr.. Dugan has proved
a most efficient road supervisor, and
the townspeople evidently appreciated
his good work.
The election of the other officers were
almost practically assured, but the
throw down of Mr.. Tracy was a sur
prise to many. That gentleman was
defeated for assessor and park com
missioner both. Assessor King had a
regular walkover the vote being
King, 621; Tracy $50, while Mr.. May
nard, who was not considered a very
strong candidate, was victorious by Sc
votes, the vote being: Maynard, 496;
Tracy, 440
Leroy ]. Upham and Oscar Shumway,
the efficient town clerk and treasurer,
respectively, as usual received a big
vote. Mr.. Upham pOlled the largest
vote cast in the election, that of 946.
Mr.. Shumway's vote was $50. Mr.. Up
ham has served the town in his ca
pacity for ten years, while Mr.. Shum-
way enters upon his thirty-frst consec-
utiVe year as the popular custodian of
the towns money. He handled some
$4,000 Of the towns money during the
past year. There is no doubt that both
Messrs. Upham and Shumway will con-
tinue to hold their positions as long
as they desire them.

practical principles and accept the in
evitable as a matter Of course.
The town never in its history, even
since its Incorporation in 1892, responded
so we'll as it did yesterday. The meet
ing was the largest ever held. while the
vote cast was the largest ever record
ed by local tellers.
With the occasional spirited discuss
ion over some article pro or con, every
thing went OF smoothly and with but
one exception nothing occurred to mar
its successfulness. Nearly everybody is
pleased at the result Of the election and
the way that the voters disposed OF the
articles in the town warrant
The article which proposed the pur-
chase OF the property of Mrs Chase for
a public park was the most important
one on the list. 1t consisted of either
precipitating the town into a debt of
$4,000 or else going without the park.
The Hon. Charles Haggerty and Rep
resentatiYe Joseph P. Love, it seemed,
although many other citizens in town
mad previously signified their willing
ness to purchase the property were the
only ones that labOred for the article
to be accepted by the town. But It was
not accepted and consequently the park
agitation is quashed for at least another
year.
1t is thought that the vehement
speech of Lawyer Frank 2. Deon did a
good deal toward influencing the towns
people to vote against the article, while
the other speakers contributed their
share.
The action Of the town in passing
over the article meets with the appro-
baton of Hon. c. c. Corbin Z. D.
GIemans received letter. from him,
dated at his New York city winter
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-04-05

home, the Waldorf-Astoria, which
stated that the voters had more to con-
tend with than ever before, and that
they had better beware of getting
themselves too deeply in debt without
thinking Of the ensuing consequences.
The biggest fight Of years was for the
office Of selectman. Both parties put
in a big amount Of work. Through a
mistake made in transmitting the cleo
ton returns over the wire last night
into The Spy office, the name of the
defeated candidate, Andrew r. Snow
was mentioned as elected. He was
not, as the vote shows: Mr.. Love, 557;
MI. Snow, 516.
-Selectman-elect Love told The Spy
reporter this morning that this springs
campaign was the hardest contested he
was ever In, and that he put more
hard work into the struggle this year
than ever before. He viii make a good
selectman.
Mr.. Love is well known and popu-
lar citizen. He conducts a marble and
granite business with his brother, Jos,
eph P. Love, on Chase avenue. where
the firm transaCtS an extensive and
prosperous business.
Mr.. Love was elected to the Massa-
chUsetts legislature in 1881. Under
both administrations Of eX-President
Cleveland. Mr. Love served as the local
incumbent in the post office. He is
trustee and treasurer of the public IL
brary. He is prominent in the Forest
ers Of America, Knights of Columbus,
A. o. H, and the reading room. He
commences his duties at once.
Probably the maddest man in town
is Wladyslaw Jonakowski, who was
defeated by Fred A. Wellington for
=-rra~ commissioner. The vote was:
Wellington, 500; Jonakowski, 367. 1t
was simply a walkover for the
Duke"

loo, but the King couldn't see it IN
til It was too late. If he had bowed 70

the inevitable like the rest of defeated
candidates everything would have
been all right, but he didn't. He was
the maddest man that ever ran for
local office when the tip reached him
that he had been defeated by 202 votes,
and he wasn't a bit backward in
showing it either.
The way that he denounced the dem
ocratic party was fearful, He laid the
entire defeat on the heads of the irish
voters, swearing that they were the
ones who knitted" him, while at the
same time they were pretending to De
his friends at the polls. He says lie
will never vote for an Irishman again.

TWO DEATHS IN SPENCER

Spencer, Aprpn 4,-The politicians Of
Spencer will now have a chance to rest
for another year. Last evining was
most exciting as the citizens in gener-
al discussed election results. A large
fire was started in the west end by fol-
lowers of George H. Kramer and kept
up until late in the evening.
Boxes Of cigars were as thick as
mosquitoes in New Jersey. Every man
OF boy who stuck to Kramer carried
home several cigars with them. Mr.,
Kramer was congratulated today by his
many true friends who stood by him
all through the campaign.
George H. Kramer was born in Spen-
Ger So years ago the 2Sth of last Sep
TENDER, He was given a good educa-
ton having graduated from the old
high school when but 10 years of age.
Soon after he graduated he went to
Boston. where he learned the tailor
trade. He remained there for one year
and half and then returned to spen-
Ger and opened a tailor's shop.
He remained in this business for 10
years, but finally gave it up to accept
a position in r. n. Rane's shoe store as
head clerk. He belongs to the republi-
can party and is a strict no-license
men.
This is his ninth successive year as
selectman, last year polling the largest
vote, 1858, ever cast for selectman in
Spencer.
He is one of the most popular young
men in Spencer, as can he eseen by his
vote as we'll as by the different offices
he holds. He is a member of the For
esters of America, A. 0. H, Knights of
Columbus. Firemen's Relief Associa-
ton, H. H. Grout hook and ladder COM
pany, and the Holy Rosary c. T. A. He
is secretary of the Foresters and Hi
bernians as well as foreman of the
hook and ladder company. He is al
so clerk of the board of selectmen, hav-
ing held that office for the past two
years.
