kennedy, 1926 plurality.

NehHeoy, 1,SZ6 Plurality.
BURLINGTON, Nov. 7.-Charles A..
Kennedy was reelected to congress
in the First Iowa district Tuesday by
a plurality of 1926 over his democratic
and bull moose opponents. This is
just 149 votes less than the plurality
which he received over Pollard two
years ago. Elder received 1,799 votes
less than Pollard did two years ago.
1T is evident. therefore, that Kennedy
held his own in the district and that
the bull moose drew largely from the
democratic ranks. 1880 more votes
were cast this year than in 1910.
Kennedy carried Henry county by
621 plurality, or ZIG more than he re
ceived two years ago in that county
He carried Jefferson county, the home
of Grail, his bull moose opponent, by
over two hundred. He carried Lee
county by about five hundred, Pol
lard having carried it in 1910 by 644
He carried Louisa by the handsome
plurality of COS, an increase in his
plurality in that county over 1910 OF
261. Van Buren gave him a plurality
of 215.
Elder carried Des Moines and Wash
ington counties only. Henry, Jeffer
son, Louisa and Van Buren gave Taf
pluralities. The returns from the dis

His 8e.h Anniversary.

John Young, one of HallowelFs old
est and most highly esteemed citizens,
Friday. celebrated the S9th anniver-
sarv Of his birth ut his home, 81 Sec
oad street. He is hale, hearty and as
active as many man 80 years his
iunior. He was the recipient of many
souvenir cards and other remem-
brances from friends abroad. Mr..
Young is probably the Oldest shoemak-
er in Maine. having learned the trade
in Portsmouth. n. H., while he was
yet in his teens. In those days shoes
were made by hand altogether and
the measure was taken according to
the shape of the foot and not for the
style of wear. Mr.. Young is also an
old steamboat engineer. He was the
first man to run a steamboat between
Augusta and Boston. 1t was the c. w.
Dexter, a propeller plying between Au-
gusta and Boston in 1914. Mr.. Young
had other experiences in sea-fearing
life. some of them very amusing and
which ne enjoys telling. Mr.. Young
was bern Yin the town of York, Jan.
Y. 1928. He is proud OF his native
State. Mr.. Young has been a Republic
can ever since the party came into ex-
istence. Before that he was a Demo-
crat and his first vote was east for
James X. Polk in 1915. He is the last
OF 10 children. all of whom lived to
pass four-score of years. His mother
and father died at the ages Of SO and
"a respectively. Mr. Young served
eight years in the office OF city mar
shall for Hallowell. He is enjoying the
comforts of life in his own home which
is in charge of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
X. Redd, who look after his every
want with the loyalty that scarcely
