The Guide Rock brethren had every
detail well In hand and the entire

Flembach, who, in we'll chosen sen

all visitors and gave a short resume Of
the doings of the Guide Rock lodge.

he had been personally invited and
consequently made himself ut home.

pendent, was elected for a fourth
term by plurality of 1000.
Cleveland, which two years ago
was Republican, electing C. Baehr
mayor over the late Tom l.. john
son, returned to the Democratic
fold, eleeting Newton Baker, John
sons political heir, mayor over
Frank G. Hogan, by 1000. The en-
tire Democratic city ticket was
elected with the exception of five
eouncilmen.
