Very quiet" is all that anyone could
get out Of the candidates on the Cit
liens ticket and their supporters Tues
day at any time. They saw the ghost
begin to walk early in the day and
what battle they did put up was under
most disheartening conditions.
Heavy Vote.
The vote polled was heavier than
was expected as the campaign did not
appear TO develop great warmth, but
the general interest manifested cleo
ton day together with the decisive re-
suits showed that the people were
awake to their best interests.
The election was marked with no
disorder or excitement. The people
quietly voted and went their way,
while the workers busily engaged
themselves in getting the vote out,
Perhaps, no more exemplary election
ever took place in Clarksburg.
Victory for the Republican ticket
headed by Will H. Cole permeated the
air from the very time the polls opened
until they closed.
A notable feature of the election
was the largely reduced Socialist vote,
quite deserving after spectacular and
melting performances on the part OF
the head of the ticket who talks mere
ly to hear himself and carried but
little weight.
Some Features.
Another feature was the Democratic
hope that what Progressives there are
here would assist the Democrats in
elevating a few Democrats to public
Office. What made that hope special
feature was the abuse heaped on the
Progressives in and after the presi-
Dental campaign. The Progressives
resented that at the polls Tuesday.
Another feature was the resentment
shown by a great majority of the resi-
dents of Clarksburg caused by attacks
on Sherman c Denham as well as in
situations against Governor Hatfield

CHANGE At HOSPITAL
Miss Strohmeier Will Succeed Miss
Gilchrist as Superintendent.

Miss Eleanor Gilchrist, who has
been in charge of the Oskaloosa Hos
pital for the past two years, has re-
signed her position as superintendent,
effective September l. She will be
succeeded by Miss Betty Strohmeier,
a former we'll known Oskaloosa girl,
now of Chicago.
During the two years that Miss Gil
christ has been in charge of the hos
pital her work has been very salts
factory, and the splendid way she
managed the Institution during the
typhoid epidemic, Of a year ago last
spring proved that she was equal to
any emergency. After a rest at her
home east of town Miss Gilchrist ex-
poets to take postgraduate work in
one of the Chicago hospitals and
later, again enter institutional work.
Her excellent professional training
supplemented by the course which
she contemplates taking, and her ex-
periences as manager of the local
hospital, will fit her for larger fields
and enable her to fill with success
and honor any place she may see fit
to accept. All connected with the Os-
kaloosa hospital will regret to see
her leave and their best wishes will
accompany her wherever she goes.
Miss Strohmeier, who has been
elected by the board to succeed Miss
Gilchrist as superintendent, needs no
introduction to our people She is an
Oskaloosa girl by birth and education,
being graduate of the Oskaloosa
High school,. She is a daughter of
Mrs. Chas. Strohmeier, 210 Second
avenue east, and up to the time that
she went to Chicago to take up hos
pital work about six years ago, she
had lived in Oskaloosa all her life.
Miss Strohmeier is graduate of
st. Luke's Hospital, of Chicago, one
OF the leading institutions of the city,
and since her graduation has been
Surgical Superintendent at the Hen
rotin Memorial Hospital Since
last June she has been Assistant Gen
eral Superintendent of the Henrotin
Hospital, and for six weeks this sum-
mer, during the absence of Miss
Stewart, the Superintendent. she was
in full charge OF the institution.
Her work and experience in Chi
cago have been very thorough, and
local physicians who have visited hos
pitfalls there say that Miss Stroll
meters services have attracted con-
siderable attention among Chicago
doctors. She comes to Oskaloosa
excellently equipped for the work
and her friends are confident she will
succeed, and continue the local hos
pitai on the satisfactory basis that
her worthy predecessors have placed

Turned Down lnterurban.

The people of Cedar Rapids had an
interurban proposition submitted to
them a few days ago. They had to
pay certain amount, in the form OF
a bond issue. For some unaccount-
able reason the majority of the votes
were cast against the plan, and this
in spite of the fact that many women
were interested and favored the pro-
ject. Perhaps the interurban folks
we're too sure OF the result, and did
not work as hard as they ought to
have done. For in an election moth
ing is ever sure until the votes have
been counted.
