CHESTER COUNTY FOR BERRY
Larry Eyre's Railiwiok Gives the Re-
form Candidate Majority.
Special to the Evening journal.


West Chester Pa, Nov. S.-rhe cam
paign in Chester county which ended with
the election yesterday was marked BY
the most disgusting methods on the part
especially. of the Eyre machine gang.
It was campaign Of abuse and slander
the last attack being upon John n Guss'
the Republican candidate for District At
torney, who was held up'to abuse and rid
icule, his personal record being attacked
in a shameless manner.
There are all sorts of estimates on the
result in the county. but the counting is
being done so slowly that little will be
known definitely for several hours. Esti-
mates from all parties give Berry coun-
ty majority of 500 at least; but little can
be said of the county ticket Tight the
gang claiming the victory by from so'
upwards. while real Republicans, as a
rule. are satisfied 10 call it 5000.

the election OF all the Democratic cam
didates and that the suffrage amend
ment fails a little behind the ticket
probably 80 votes. The Kent Demo-
cratic ticket is as follows:

an Independent Republican who was
formerly a magistrate; county commits

The most sensational feature Of the
count is the remarkable change in the
downtown wards. where the phantom

example. the vote in the lst Precinct Of
the 5th Ward was: Fusion, Sc; Republican,
IS. In the preceding election it was; DEM

Precinct OF the 4th Ward the vote was:

TORRANCE COUNTYS FAIR.

The Estancia Development Associa.
ton has determined that Torrance county
shall have county fair at Estancia, the
county seat, early in September. This is
a step showing theright kind of public
spirit, indicating that the people of Estan
cia propose to make Torrance county and
the Estancia valley in particular, a good
place to live. The county fair isa valua
bic institution. Even where resources are
small, where development has but begun,
it serves to bring together in friendly riv.
airy the man who is growing truck gar
den products, grain and fruits 1t brings
out the bestcaltIe and the BEST hogs and
sheep and goats, it tends to higher stand
ards through this same friendly rivalry.
The farmer who sees his neighbours po.
tatoes taking a blue ribbon, if he is tn
right kind of a farmer, is going to try and
take that blue ribbon with his own tubers
on the following year. The county fairs
has done great things for the rural dis
tricts of the central and eastern states. 1t
can do as much in New Mexico counties
especially in such districts as the Estan-
cia valley where agricultural and live
stock possibilities are promising.
1t is pleasing too, to note that the Es
tanca Valley has determined to hold its
county fair just ahead of the territorial
fair in this city, in order that the exhibits
already collected, may be packed and ship
ped to Albuquerque for exhibition purpos
eS. Thus the association will gather all
the benefits of the county fair and valua-
Bile advertising result from a creditable
display at the larger show in this city.
Torrance county carried off seme first
honors at the territorial fair a year ago.
1t will probably do as we'll or better next
