Revival Services Held - News
Notes and Personal Paragraphs.

Yesterday was undoubtedly the
liveliest election day in the history Of
West Scranton. and from the moment
the polls were opened until long after
the doors were closed groups of men
were gathered at every election booth,
using their persuasive powers in be-
half of their respective candidates.
Not few voters were challenged,
both by Democrats and Republicans
and only those who were duly quail
f1cd to cast their ballots were per-
mitted to receive the blanket sheet
bearing the names of the candidates.
.tt several of the districts groups
Of voters held out until the last hour
before voting. and much trading was
done on the local candidates. In the
Democratic stronSholds. the Republic
can party workers were very much in
evidence and worked zealously for the
success of their party candidates.
Democratic workers We're also in evil
r1rnce ar tho Republican districts but
they We're very peaceable and friendly,
and little or no trouble was reported
from any of the wards.
In Goth districts of the Fourteenth
ward big Democratic vote was polled.
Candidate Tonry made q visit to the
Second district late in the afternoon.
Charles Schadt also had many adj
herents in the Fourteenth ward.
In the First district of the Twenty
first ward the largest Republican vote
ever cast there for any candidate was
received BY Lewis for district attor-
ney An increased Republican ma
lority was also recorded for the other
candidates on the Republican ticket.
The voters cast their ballots early in
this district and but little excitement
was apparent at any time during the
day. The second district which is
strongly Democratic. gave the Re
publicans a very favorable vote. which
Showed that much active work had
hoen done there.
In the Fourth district of the Fourth
ward the usual heavy vote was polled
and dispite the efforts of Spencer and
his liautcnants Congressman Connel

THE OLD GUITAR


Neglected now is the old guitar
And moldering into decay;
Fretted with many rift and scar
That the dull dust hides away.
While the spider spins u silver star
In its silent lips today.
The keys hold only nervelcss trings--
The sinews OF brave old airs
Are pulseless now: and the scarf that clings
So closely here declares
sad regret in its raveings
And the faded hue 1t wears,
But the old guitar with lenient grace
Has cherished smile for me:
And its features hint OF a fairer face
That eomes with memory
OF wer.and,perfume,haunt place
And moonit balcony.
Music sweeter than words confess
Or the minstrel's powers invent,
Thrilled here once at the light caress
on the fairy hands that lent
This excuse for the kiss | press
On the dear old instrument.
