After Election.

| Both candidates for coroner came from
Florence and the township did not show
any preference at the election, giving eacf
1885,
There will be good Republican major
ity in the House of Assembly next winter.
There will be AZ Republicans and Il
Democrats.
There will not be airy recount on the
vote for Governor. There is no provision
In the law for a recount because somebody
has formed coordination.
Hon. Samuel z. Ropoins, of Burling-
ton county, is spoken Of as the next Re-
publican leader in the Senate. Could not
do better. Moorestown is still ION the
map"
1t looks as If the excited leader of River
side who threatened etc help elect DEM
ocratic Governor owing to disagree
ment on the tax question, made good on
election day.
The man with nerve was the fellow
who, at eleven o'clock on election night,
with all indications pointing to the defeat
of Fort, put up 1916 that the latter would
be elected. That happened in Mount
Holly.
The voting machine should either be
taken out where 1t is now installed, or 1t
should be put in every voting precinct in
the state. From the expression of the
people the sentiment appears to be in
favor of adjustment
Leon W. Estilow, Burlington city;
Thomas P Birkett, Burlington township;
Charles r. Khkbride. Medford; and
George A. Mccoy. Riverside, are the new
members of the Board of Freenolders.
The others hold over or were reelected.
The vote in favor of abolishing the
Board of FreehSlders was confined to
few places. The country districts were
all against the proposition. The places
which cast vote in favor were: Beverly
township, Burlington city, aid North
ampton. Burlington township cast tie
vote on the proposition.
Returns from the third ward, Mount
Holly, show great difference from the
management of former years. THERE'S a
young Democrat over there who is quite
slick. Frequently during the day he
would come out with great cry of what
he would do if money was used, then he
would quietly run voter in.
The appropriations voted in Northamp-
ton were as follows: salaries, rent and cleo
ton expenses So. 800, poor $1,000, police
81 800, fire companies 81, 800, rs,afs 81 900,
Board of Health $1,000, water rent 1925,
sewers and fire hYdrants $500, lighting
81, 500. printing $500, G. A. R. $75, fire
hose $500; total ST., 100.
There was pretty blue SCI of Republi
cans around town about eleven o'clock
Tuesday evening. A. S. L. Doughty,
however, declined to accept the reports of
the defeat of Fort. Taking piece of
paper he figured out what each county
ought to give and nis additions showed
Fort to be winner by about $500. Hav-
ing given these figures out and getting
laughed at for his trouble Mr.. Doughty
went home. The next morning he was in
a position to say Il told you SO" but he
held his peace,
The result of the local election in
Northampton was as follows:

UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORT.

It is with the utmost reluctance that THE NEWS conveys the information to- day that Canaan failed in it's effort to get another industry in the form of a shirt manufacturing plant.
 The concern wanted at least 100 women and the total number in and near Can aan who filled out the coupons or in any other way indicated their willingness to accept employment is in the neighbor- hood of 50.
 It proved too big proposition for Ca- naan at the present time and under present conditions. And other places with double the population of Canaan have found it impossible to obtain 100 women for the work. We have in mind an instance where one of these plants is located in village of nearly 2500 popu- lotion and the number of employees ranges from 85 to 115. And if Canaan 1 discovered 50 it impresses us that it did fairly well.
 But it didn't do well enough, conse- quently the plant will be located else where.
 THE NEWS feared at the outset that the required number of applications could not be obtained and the majority of the members of the Board of Trade shared the belief But this much we did know, i. e., that certainly it could not be definitely known unless strenu- ous effort was made. Consequently we sailed in." We fought hard to obtain the plant and we failed. But it IS not a failure fraught with dismay and this paper will be found ready to strive as energe5ically for the next prospective industry as it did for this.
 This incident has shown conclusively that what Canaan must first have is an industry that will provide employment for men mechanics and artisans who will move here with their families. The ex- perience of other villages has shown that the concerns employing women thrive principally where there is plenty of em- ployment for men.
 Had this industry required 100 men the proposition would have been de- cidedly different We do not believe serious difficulty would have been expe- rienced in finding the employees.
 What the Board of Trade should do now is to make strenuous effort to To- cate one or more men-employing plants Gould this be done in the not far distant future, perhaps it would still be possi ble to persuade the shirt manufacturing concern to locate plant here.

The evident desire on the part of Gov ernor Woodruff to have the state legisla- ture get down to business and keep busy until it has done its work is approved by the people in general, ,and we presume none the. less by the representatives, many of whom accepted office more be- cause of loyalty to their party and to the sections they represent than because of any thought of financial gain. How many representatives have you known who bought building lots, automobiles and things with the money they saved from the remuneration they received from serving their constituents?

CANAAN AND THE TROLLEY

THE NEWS has it from an authoritative source that there are three electric rail- road projects started and in contempla- tion by theConsolidated, or New York, New Haven& Hartford Railroad Com pany, that will effect Canaan. One of these is the extension of the Berkshire Street Railway from Great Harrington to Canaan, the survey for which is com pleted and the construction of which, it is said, will be commenced in the spring, the second is the road for which survey is being made from Canaan to Westfield, Mass, and the third is a road which will enter Canaan from the east, probable extension of the road now operating be tween Torrington and Winsted.
 It would seem that this road construc- ton can but be beneficial to Canaan and the surrounding territory. Certainly it will better the facilities for the trans portation of passengers. The schedule on the New York, New Haven & Hart ford road is now, and has been for some time, decidedly inconvenlent, i. e., no northbound train between 12.33 and CAT D. m. and no afternoon southboand train later than 4.43. Also there IS nc southbound train between g.. .43 a. m. and 2.41 p. m. with the exception of the milk train which reaches the stations when ever it arrives An electric road would or should, do away with these incon veniences and provide transportation a times that will be both convenient ant satisfactory.
 Let the roads come. Canaan is grow ing, slowly but surely, and the said road will, we believe, prove valuable facto in accelerating that growth.
