Strongly Democratic

The Democrats completely overwhelm
ed the Republicans in Boston, Tuesday
Gen. Patrick A. Collins being elected
mayor over Thomas N. Hart, the pres
ent incumbent, by the largest plurality
In quarter of century. The Demo
Gratis also obtained control of both
branches Of the city government, elected
their street commissioner. Salem d.
Charles, and practically all their candi.
dates for school committee. As usual,
the city voted strongly In favor of Ii.
ceDse.
The result Of the contest was fully as
much a surprise to the Democrats as to
their opponents. The most sanguine
prophet in the Democratic ranks claimed
but 1000, Monday, for General Collins,
yet this plurality was nearly tripled In
the election, Tuesday. Two years age
MAYOR Hart defeated Gen. Collins by
2,28l votes and pnled something over
40, 900. This year the total Republican
vote for mayor was trifle over 80, 600
the smallest given party candidate fol-
mayor since 1898, despite registration
OF almost 90 per cent. larger.
Gen. Collins received something over
52,0 900 votes, the largest given candi.
date in history of the city. Gen. Col.
Inns carried Is of the 25 wards ard was
only beaten in the other seven by a close
margin.

HOLIDAY ADVERTISERS.

The holiday season is upon us, our
merchants have filed their stores with
goods adapted thereto and freely use
the columns of THE REPoRrER to let
Somerset people know what they have
for sale and to advise them of their at
tractive wares and good bargains.
Skowhegan merchants are enterpris.
ing. They do not hesitate to purchase
large stocks of desirable, up-to date
merchandise almost without limit as to
quality and price. You have but to read
our advertising columns to be appraised
of this fact. You have but to step in
and inspect well filled shelves, cases,
windows and counters to become salts.
fled that they have done well their part
in the direction of supplying holiday
purchasers with adequate stocks OF
goods to make their selections from.
Purchasers appreciate these well filled
stores of fresh, new goods, their attrac-
tive appearance and the advertisements
that advise them of fine lines of goods and
guarantees to them full value for their
money.
1t is the part of wisdom to patronize
our own merchants and enable them to
carry stocks of goods they otherwise
could not. Somerset people practically
have the say as to the character and
variety of the stocks merchants OF
Skowhegan shall keep. Give them your
patronage and we guarantee they will
keep splendid stocks and give splendid
bargains. Somerset traders are entitled
to and should receive the patronage OF
Somerset people. This is in the inter
est of all concerned.

Obituary..

North Arson lost a good citizen by
the death of Niron Gray, which occurred
Nov. 81, after a long illness. He was
miserable last winter and this developed
into Grippe. In the summer he was
taken sick. Under the skillful treat
ment of the physicians he rallied suf-
ficiently to Tide out and his friends were
hopeful; but about the middle of Oct
ober he became worse and from that
time was confined to the bed most of the
time, and finally, death came to re-
lleve his suffering. Heart trouble and
other complications were the immedi.
ate cause of his death. The funeral
took place from his late residence the
23d INST, attended by Rev. Uhas K.
Evans, who was assisted by Rev. II. s.
Ryder.
Mr.. Gray was born in 1880 in the town
OF Anson, where he lived up to his death,
with the exception of three years, which
he and his family spent in Buxton,
while there the great sadness came to
his home, 0ccasioned by the death of
his three Oldest children by typhoid
fever. He always took an interest in
the welfare of his town, and in his
younger years held several offices. In
political faith he was Republican. He
was proprietor and manager of the Paine
House, which was opened after the rail-
road was pushed forward TO n. Arson.
This house paid we'll until the railroad
WAS extended and its termination was
removed from our village. Mr.. Gray
took pleasure in referring to the fact
that never in the history of his house
had he sold liquor or tobacco, being
strongly opposed to both. Years ago he
was affiliated with the Watch Club and
the Good Templars He and his wife
were members of the old Free Baptist
church, which was formerly located on
the New Portland road, two miles above
our. village. Although deafness pre-
vented his attending church much in
latter years, his faith in God was not
abated and he knew in whom to trust in
his last hours. 1t is worthy of note
that he was a special friend of camp
meeting John Allen and always enter
tanned him when Mr.. Allen visited our
camp meetings.
Niron Gray, son of Robert Gray, mar
ried Miss Eveliue B Paine, daughter of
Asa Paine, 43 years ago. They had four
children, one of whom, Mrs Ira Gushing
is left to mourn deeply with her mother
this great loss, and these have the sym
pathy of their friends and neighbors,
who feel that they too have lost a worthy
friend r

Secretary of War Root has recon-
mended that the ante-canteen law be
allowed to stand another year In order to
more thoroughly test its workings. The
secretary's recommendation is a wise
one and will probably be followed by
Congress. Latterly there has developed
difference of opinion in regard to the
canteen. While the majority of the
army officers believe it beneficial, a
considerable minority think otherwise.
Another years trial of the present law
will do no harm.
