KNIGHTS' BALL
Local Council Knights of Columbus Scores Grand Success.

Local Council Knights of Columbus
 s Scores Grand Success.
 The first annual ball of Berks hire Council, No.152O. Knights of Columbus, given in Town Hall, Easter Monday night, was the most elaborate affair of the kind given this season. Fully 200 persons attended, including numbers from Norfolk. Great Harrington and other towns. The hall was resplendent in it's deco .rations of white and gold, which were made all the more attractive by the myriad of electric lights festooned from ,tbe center of the ceiling to various parts of the ballroom, making the most unique system of Illuminating decoration ever attempted here, and presented an en, chanted fairyland effect. =.
 Muslc was provided by, the Beeman 6 Hatch orchestra, five, pieces, of Hartford, and high-cIass concert preceded the dancing, which was greatly enjoyed by all hearers.
 The grand march was led by George Heffernan and Miss Margaret Flynn, and dancing was kept up until two o'clock in the morning.
 The supper was provided under the supervision of Mrs. Mary Corcoran and served by delegation of Knights in the lower hall.
 The splendid success of the affair is highly gratifying to the local council, and is principally due to the tireless efforts of the efficient general committee consisting of Messrs. Philip Orben, John Bianchi and William Dempsey.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEES
NATIONAL ELECTION, NOV. 5, 1912
FOR PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM Ell. TAFT,
OF OHIO.
FOR NONRESIDENT,
JAMES S. SHERMAN,
OF NEW YORK.
The Election.


After all, there is really nothing to
wonder at; 1t was only the expected
which happened. Almost any indi-
vidual, or community, or state or
nation will 60 wrong once in gene
ration or SO. Maine went that way two
years ago; bitterly regretted its folly
. months ago, and impatiently awaited
the opportunity offered last Monday
to put on record its regret for its fool
ishness in 1910.
Vested with full control of the
States affairs, the democratic party
was never in its history afforded a
better opportunity to make good; to
stand by the pledges it made in the
last campaign; to keep its promises;
to prove itself competent to conduct
the business of the State safely,
sanely, economically.
Thus far in it's term OF office it has
done none of these things; it ignored
the good advice of its most influen-
tial members, and almost from the
beginning has been controlled by a
group of ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS
leaders who have subordinated their
party's fortunes to their own.
These political Adventures have
played desperate game, and have
lost, as they deserved to. There may
still be dissatisfied republicans, bat
they have wisely decided that the
worst their own party can do is to
be preferred to the best the demo
Gratis have shown that they are capa-
BILE of doing.

The Result. in Hancock County.

For the past ten years or 80 Han
cock county has been saying in a
variety OF ways that 1t would not
ing sheriffs, republican or democrat,
have been turned down, and now, as
If to emphasize its indignation at
further attempts to ignore the law, an
appointive sheriff, who has been
substituting his own private views for
constitutional law, has been defeated
at the polls, and on Jan. /, 1918, the
present law-defying sheriff will be
succeeded by an officer who knows
and respects the law.
1t is greatly to be regretted that
the only republican candidate de-
feated should be the county attorney,
between whom and the sheriff there
should be the heartiest co operation
in the matter of enforcement. The
successful candidate. though demo-
crat, has splendid opportunity to
make good.
The only other regret is that Han
cock county is not to have solid
delegation in the House who will vote
for Burleigh and protection, but as
the legislature is safely republican,
and MIR. Burleigh's election as United
States senator assured, the two lone
democrats from this county can at
least do no harm.
Hancock rejoices with it's sister
counties of the third district in the
election of Mr.. Goodwin, republi-
can and protectionist, to the ma
tional House.
