Although Honesdale, normally Re-
publican, went Democratic and voted
for continued Democratic control in the
town council and school board, the cities
and boroughs of the State, as a rule,
chose Republican executive officers.
Every borough in Lackawanna, Pike
and Monroe counties elected Republican
burgesses, even when all of the other Of
fees, or a majority of them, went to the
dominant Democratic party. Scranton,
Carbondale, Peckville, Archibald, Dun
more, Milford, Matamoras, Stroudsburg,
Water Gap, and nearly every municipal
ty in this region, elected Republicans as
the heads of their tickets. Even here,
where the vote for Judge of Election is
regarded as test of real party strength,
the Republican candidate had 81 major
ity. That the successful ticket as a
whole was Democratic, only serves to
show that in local matters, Honesdale
Republicans are exceedingly generous
and do not allow their party predilec-
tions to affect their personal preferences.
