Charles J. Morrissey, county presi-
dent Of the Ancient Order of New
castle, N. b., has just been unani-
mously chosen mayor of his home
town. The honor is all the greater as
Mr.. Morrissey in politics belongs to the
minority party in his country. After
the election a large meeting of citi-
xens was held in the public square to
celebrate the event. Mayor Morrissey
in brilliant speech thanked his con-
stituents and pledged the new admin
istration to build up the industries of
Newcastle.
S. w. Miller paid a high tribute to
the new mayor and said that the cleo
ton without opposition of minority
party man was due to the exceptional
ability and public spirit of the mayor
elect and to the high esteem in which
his distinguished father, Hon. John
Morrissey, chief commissioner. was
held by the public.
Mayor Morrissey is a nephew Of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Morrissey, Holly ave.
