The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1907-11-09
the TRUE EXPLANATION,

Inter- ountain Republican," In the
aftermath Of the city election,
the remarkable plurality by which
Bransford was elected mayor was the
talk of the town. No one thought
there were SO many votes on earth as
the total number polled by the Ameri.
can candidate. He received 1l,754 or
1854 more votes than DIR. Plummer,
his nearest competitor. The Repub.
lican is at this time able to explain
this enormous plurality. It's this
way:
OF the 1l,754 votes polled by, the
American ticket, there were 5000
women. 1t comes to The Republican
on good authority that every one OF
these women carried babes In their
arms into the polling place. When the
woman voter was grasping the lever
to close the curtain behind her, the
child In her arms grabbed at the at.
tractive American flag, which adorned
the top lever on the voting machine.
The mother wanted to vote the Re.
publican ticket and knew 1t was the
third lever down the line. When she
saw the child grasp the top.lever with
firm hold she tried to pull the hand
away, but the lever was switched over
and the bell rang, thus counting up
an American vote.
In this way just 5000 Republican
votes were switched to the American
ticket. This explanation is made for
the benefit OF hundreds who have asked
how it came that the Republican land
didn't slide, as per schedule Mayor
Bransford says that he hasn't the
slightest doubt in the world but what
5000 children voted for their mothers,
and inasmuch as all of these children
are under the legal voting age, he
urges the Republicans to contest the
election on that ground

CITY'S RIGHT TO
co N D E M N
DEBATED
in Jersey City
Water Suit Discuss Mo-
nicipality's Power.

Before counsel resumed argument in the
matter Of the suit brought by Jersey City
against the Jersey City Water Supply
Company this morning Vice-Chancellor
Stevens asked James B. vredenburgh,
chief COUNSEL for the municipality, and
Charles L. and William H. Corbin, for
the defendant company, to discuss fully
their views Oh the right of a city to con-
denim ands in q watershed for the pur-
pose of insuring the purity of the water
supply.
IT would like counse to give their views
on this question: remarked the court.
Personally, | am very sure a city may
condemn a strip along a river like the
Rockaway to prevent probable pollution,
but the question Is, how far such a strip
might extend?"
In the case of factory properties located
along the river, and from which it is assert
ed polluted matter is allowed to drain into
the water, the court expressed some doubt
! as to a practicable method of condemna-
ton.
Discussing the question of possible dam
ages arising from such sources of con-
tamination in an informal way with the
court. William H. Corbln remarked tha
the city had asked a reduction of 81, 900, 900
Mr.. V~redenburgh promptly replied that the
suggestion of a reduction of that amount
was not formal, and should not be pre-
scented to the court as even a suggestion.
well. how much do you want us to
take off," queried Charles l.. Corbin.
"It isn't fair to ask me that question.
l am not the one to decide. That must
be decided by the Mayor and the other
city officials said Mr.. ~Vredenburgh.
1T Isn't the amount" ~interpolated the
Vjce-C Chancellor. ut is the principle on
which an estimate of possible damage is
to be based that concerns the court"
Precisely" remarked William H. Cor
bin. 81 do not see any way in which the
court can determine the damages to be
paid"
well, isn't it possible to obtain the
value of a strip of LAND along the river and
make that a basis?" asked the court. 81
make this suggestion with much hesitation,
however," the court added, IAN 1 do not
want to be taken as having in any sense
made up my mind on this phase of the
question:"
Mr.. Vredenburgh then resumed his for
NAL argument, which was carried on all
Of yesterday. He addressed himself to the
main point of the alleged pollution of the
water supply and maintained that in view
of the fact that experts had testified to
the presence of pollution and contamina-
ton in the source of the supply, the
water company could not set up the claim
Of purity at the point of delivery unless
they showed somewhere between the Boon
tor. dam and point of delivery a definite
place and method of publication. AS evil
dence that the contamination at the water
shed was carried to the city, Mr.. Vreden-
burgh instanced the meteorological plates
produced in evidence. showing the presence
Of coli bacilli in families and groups.

FRISKY DEER IN WARREN.
Calls on Farmers of Oxford Township
and Frightens Cattle.

BELVIDERE, Oct. ia fine, big deer
is having the time of its life csvorting over
field and dale in Warren County, particu-
larly in oxford Township, where the farm
ers are getting on quite Intimate terms
with the agile creature. A day or two age
it paid a visit to Farmer Gene Green and
nearly frightened his cattle n sheep into
a panic.
It leaped over fences and came up near
the house. whereupon Mrs. Green tried to
''shoo" it away 1t RAJ into the barn
yard and began eating cornstalks with the
cattle.
The old farmer wanted to get his gun
and rave venison for supper, but his good
wife said: mo. Gene; you can buy quite
a lot Of deer for a couple of hundred dol
lars!"
The animal started toward the woods,
and the dogs tried their best to get loose
to chase it. The deer came from the
Worthington Park, near the Sussex line.

harmony among themselves and with
those associated with them. We were
fortunate in the selection of a counsel. He
prepared the acts authorizing the work
and having been a county officer, was
very familiar with the needs of the diff
fsrent departments and consequently gave
valuable advice in the division and sub
division of the building, as well as in
purely legal matters.
Our architect has given this building
not only the benefit of his fine office or
ganization. but also his close personal
supervision, and we consider 1t a monu-
ment to his genius. The general contrac-
tors were ready at all times to deal fairly
and we believe that the county has good
value for its large expenditure.
In the name of the Essex County
Building Commission | now transfer the
custody of this building for and on behalf
of the Board of Chosen Freeholders to
Supervisor Otterbein."
Supervisor Otterbein responded, say
ing that he was deeply gratified that
the work had been so successfully COM
pleted, and that it was a pleasure for
the board to undertake h new re-
sponsibility.
1.-THE work speaks for ITSELF" he said,
land requires no explanation or de-
scription. AS for me, the building
stands as a perpetual monument to the
good Judgment, patient industry and
hard work of the Essex County Court
House Commission"
After the supervisor had expressed
his regrets over the death of Mr.. Nc
Gowan, he extended to the commits
sioners 'the grateful thanks of an ap-
preciative public for the able manner
in which you have performed your
duties in placing this splendid monu-
ment before the citizens Of Essex
County"
Then the keys were passed to Free
holder Eaton, who said:
81 will accept the keys with thanks,
and I wish to thank you for the honor
bestowed upon me. 1 appreciate the
excellent work done by the commission
ers, and 1 promise that so long as I
am the chairman of the committee on
public buildings I shall take the best
care of the building"
DR.. Ward then said that he regretted the
absence of Mr.. MCGOWAN, and former
Judge George r. Gray, the other member
of the commission, was called upon to say
a few words. He did SO.
"It was understood" he said, that the
president was to do the talking, but 1
thank you for the many complimentary
remarks made by the supervisor. We feel
pride in the building, n we have labored
faithfully and honestly. There is no graft
in this building, and we come before the
Board of Freeholders and the citizens and
can saw that there is q building here that
has been built with clean hands"
The architect. Cass Gilbert, of New York,
gave a statistical review of the work done.
He was followed by County Counsel
Joseph L. Mum, called upon by DR.. Ward
to give 1.-The finishing touches to the cere-
monies"
Mr.. Mum congratulated everybody and
declared the building to have been hon
estly constructed.
II take especial pride in the fact" said
Mr.. Mum, chat the commissioners per-
mitted us to acquire a law library. 1t is
as fine a law library as I know OF in the
country"
With this the ceremonies were declared
to be at an end by DR.. Ward and the crowd
dispersed.

BACKING FORT TO CARRY
COUNTY OF HUDSON.
His Admirers There Really Talk as if
They Believed in Almost a
Political Miracle.
Especial to the Evening star.I

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 17.-Prominent
Republicans of Hudson County volun-
teered to say today that they had every
reason to believe ]. Franklin Fort
would carry Hudson County in his
fight for the Go%vernorship. Prosecutor
of the Pleas William H.. Speer, a great
admirer of Mr.. Fort, said:
II have watched the tide carefully
n 1 honestly believe that Mr.. Fort
will carry Hudson, although, of course,
it will not be by a great majority. He
is making a great impression on the
voters and his sterling qualities dis
played in both his judicial capacity and
as a candidate before the people are
such as must be recognized. 1 think
he will be elected by a magnificent
majority"
There will be a meeting of the Re-
publican county committee in Lincoln
Hall, Pavonia avenue Jersey City, to-
morrow night and at that time the pic
lures will be distributed among the
committeeman and sent broadcast over
the county. At that time the commit
teemen will also be spurred on to new
endeavors by the prospect of Mr.. Forts
carrying Hudson.
Mr.. Fort will visit Hudson County
twice more during the campaign, the
first time being on October 26, when he
will speak in Hasbrouck's Hall, Jersey
City, and at Columbia Park, Bayonne.
The second visit will be on November
2, when he will make three addresses,
one at Hoboken and the other in Wee
hawken and the Town of Union.
In the meantime the county managers
are arranging for mass meetings and
love feasts among the voters all over
the county at which the ticket will be
doomed.
