Special to The SPY
Whitinsville, Nov. 6.-The election is
over and, as was expected, the Repub-
licans carried everything before them
with the greatest of ease. Today talk
was all about electric roads. The great
est amount of talk came from the town
of Douglas. Residents of that town ad-
vocate the extension of the Blackstone
Valley road from Whitinsville to
Douglas The distance is but three
miles, and it is safe to say that in the
near future the extension will be built
This year will not see it, but the COM
ing year will.
Douglas people are locked in, so to
speak, and want some means Of egress.
They see all kinds of favors coming
their way with the advent of an ele2-
trio road and are willing to put up good
money to get this desired result. With
but less than four miles Of country
road to cover, the Valley line could not
make a better move than to extend its
tracks to Douglas. 1t would be a feed
er and bound to be paying invest
ment to the interested parties all
around.

Special to The Spy.
Webster, Nov. 6.--Local friends and sup
porters of Elisha N. Bigelow are sur
prised at the small vote that he got in
this town. They considered that being a
man of sterling qualities and having done
much for the town, his worth would be
appreciated but it seems 1t was not. The
topic of those on the street is that of
sympathy for Bigelow, but while they are
sorry he was not elected they did not
vote for him. 'Wait until next year is
the common expression, The town of
Dudley did more for Bigelow than Web
ster did in comparison to its vote. Bige-
low had been figured as one of the lead
ers, and both parties were astonished at
the small vote he polled.
Mr.. Negus of Dudley, who came out at
the little end of the horn, claims he is the
object of deal He is quoted as having
said very emphatic things about the
party his running mate and politics in
general. People claim there was deal;
in fact, that more crooked work was done
at this election than in any election pre-
vious for many years, and the figures
seem to uphold the statement. It is all
legged that one candidate actually threw
his running mate in order to secure an
election. When Mr.. Negus meets the par
ties he thinks were instrumental in caus-
ing the bullet vote he intends to give them
a piece of his mind.
While some of the politicians in the dis
trict We're figuring Tetreault would be
among the low ones, The Spy right along
said he would be elected, and he was His
own town, of course, elected him. In
Southbridge it was a case of town against
town, and the Spec town voters determined
that their town should be represented in
the Legislature. Accordingly, both par
ties voted for Tetreault, with the result
that he won easily. His Southbridge vote
showed that he had almost the entire sup
port of both parties
Joseph P Love made a most creditable
showing in the district against George K.
Tufts of New Braintree for senatorial
honors. He was not elected, and while 1t
seemed almost an impossibility to elect
Democrat in the district, he reduced
majority that two years ago was 400 Re
publican strong and last year was 1900
down to 636 Mr.. Love ran far ahead of
his ticket in the southern part of the dis
trict, but the almost solid Republican
towns in the southern section defeated
him.
The vote of yesterday was not as large
as had been expected. 1t was 1O6 lower
than last year. There are 1871 eligible
voters in town and 1910 votes were cast,
