Matrimonial

On Wednesday evening, November
Z, 1916, at seven o'clock, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson Gillett, in
Southwest Vienna, occurred the mar
riage of their daughter, Bertha Marie,
to Mr.. Leroy Merton Pailthorp. The
spacious rooms of the residence were
handsomely decorated for the occasion
with profusion of ferns. smilax and
cut flowers. Rev Henry Schofield.
pastor of the Mt. Morris M. E. Church,
performed the wedding ceremony, using
the beautiful ring service of his church.
The groom's sister, Mrs. Harry Finn,
played the wedding march and little
Florence Johnson made charming
ring bearer. The wedding was attend
ed by about 1876 relatives and friends Of
the bridal couple, among them being
guests from Pontiac, Lansing. Sagi-
nav, Flint, Gaines, Defiance, o., and
other outside points. At the conclusion
of the ceremony bountiful two course
luncheon was served, the Misses Ina
Robinson, Grace Pailthorp. Bertha
Johnson and Mrs. Bert Finn, personal
friends of the bride. attending the
tables. The happy couple, who are
among the most estimable young peo-
pie in the township. then received the
fluctuations of the company and were
made the recipients of many lovely
gifts. Following short honeymoon

Genesee's Growth

Through the kindness of Frank Rich
ards, of Alma, formerly of this place,
we have been permitted to copy from a
clipping taken from one of the early
Genesee county papers portion of the
election returns of the county for the
year 1860. The clipping was pasted in
note book which was once the prop
erty of Mr.. Richards father, j. T..
Richards. one of the early attorneys of
the country, who, like his son, resided
for many years in Clio. The clipping
gives the result, in the county, of the
famous Lincoln and Douglas campaign,
by which it appears that Mr.. Lincoln
received 1882 votes and Mr.. Douglas
! 1920 votes, with q divided between
two minor candidates. Thus, the pres
idential vote in the county in 1860 total
ed 4779, while the vote just cast for
Hughes and Wilson totaled 1854, and
the vote on state wide prohibition,
which is perhaps better indication of
elective strength, totaled 1877. From
these figures it will be seen that the
voting population of the county has
nearly quadrupled in the Sc years that
have elapsed since 1860.
Austin Blair, the famous war govern
or, was candidate for election at the
time the clipping was originally pub
lished and the returns show that he
was given vote in Genesee of 28l2 to
1880 for Barry, his democratic oppon-
ent. In the contest just closed Sleeper
got 1866 and Sweet 8,3l6 votes in the
county.
In 1860 Trobridge, republican, was
elected over Thompson. democrat, for
congress, the vote in the county stand
ing 2818 to 1866 The vote of the pres
ent year on that office was: Kelly,
1920; Kellogg, S,430.
For prosecuting attorney, in 1860,
Wisner, republican, was elected over
Durand by vote of 2722 to 2010. Wis
ner afterward became circuit judge and
Durand justice of the supreme court.
Judge Durand was later nominated by
the democratic party for governor, but
died before the election was held. The
vote for the present year for the office
of prosecutor was: Brownell 10, 428;
Neithercut, 1910.
Among the other candidates, on
the republican ticket of 1860 we mo-
tice the name of Josiah w. Be-
COLE, who was elected county treas
urer. Afterward, in 1883, Mr.. Begole
became greenbacker and gained fame
by being elected governor through a
fusion of his party with the democrats.
The old clipping contains the names
of many other citizens well known in
the pioneer days of the county and is,
therefore, interesting historically as
well as furnishing basis for specula-
ton upon the county's growth. To
further illustrate the latter point, how
ever, we are appending statement Of
the vote in the county for the period of
1852 to 1860, which figures, also, ale
taken from the clipping above men,
toned: 1852-2667; 1S54-2441; 1856
42SS; 1853 1882; 1s60-4779.

At the present writing the presiden-
tial election is still in doubt with the in
dications favoring President Wilson.
The result will be decided by the
states of Minnesota, California, North
Dakota, New Hampshire and New Mex
leo, wherein the vote is close and the re-
turns incomplete. The cities in these
states gave large majorities for Wilson
which have placed him in the lead by
by comparatively small margin in each
state, but this lead is being reduced as
the returns from the country districts
come in, which may result in the elec-
tion of Hughes. and it may require an
official recount in some states to deter
min the result.
1t is conceded that Wilson is assured
of 25l and Hughes of 238 electoral
votes. The total electoral vote is 53l; /;
necessary to choice. 266. The doubt
full states and their electoral votes are
as follows California, 13; Minnesota,
IL: North Dakota 8; New Hampshire A;
New Mexico, 8.
, In the event President Wilson is re-
elected it will be solely through COM
plimentary attitude toward mis- person
alty. as republican state and congress
sional tickets were elected in many of
the states which have given him ma
jority.
Sleeper's majority for governor over
Sweet will be so, 900 and similar major
tiles have been accorded the balance of
the republican state ticket. 1t is esti-
mated that Hughes carried the state by
10000.
The liquor traffic was consigned to its
grave in Michigan by a majority APP
proximating 1000, while the home rule
trick was defeated by majority 10,O0O
greater.
The result on the fraternal society
and legislative amendments is not as
vet known but it is thought both have
been adopted.
Patrick II. Kelley was reelected con-
gressman from this district by about
5000 majority over Kellogg, his demo-
cratic opponent, and Senator Chas. E.
Townsend, republican, was reelected
by booming majority. Rep. Fordney
was reelected in the eighth district.
1t is estimated that the democrats
will have working, although reduced,
majority in both branches of the next
congress.
DIR. H. A. Stewart carried both Liv-
ingston and Genesee counties and was
elected state senator by approximately
1000 majority.
