The First Republicans

Every now and then some one hobs
up with the declaration that Mr. So
and So was the first man to vote the
Republican ticket; or that Mr.. What's
his name was the only man in Mason
county who voted for Fremont in sc
or for Lincoln in go.
At the Presidential Election, Novem-
Der 1856, the following citizens Of Ma
son county cast their votes for the
Electors representing General John C.,
Fremont:
Maysville No. Charles Phister.
Orangeburg-Robert Bullock, David
Rice Bullock. James Gault, John Light,
Thomas Colburn, making six in all.
At the presidential election, No.
vember, 1860, the following voted for
the Lincoln electors
Maysville No. IN. c. Hutchins,
John r. Dye, s. l.. Blaine, E. c. Smith.
Maysville No. Joseph Bierley,
Nicholas Burger, Charles Phister.
Dover-Len Anderson, Sr.
Oranbeburg-William Crupp, John
Cruey, Andrew SHIFTS, Robert Bruce,
John Sartin, John Redmond, James
Gault, William Gettys, John Light,
Francis M. Mossett, Andrew Colburn,
Thomas Colburn, Ed G. Bullock, Ben
jamin Hook, Joseph Kilgore, John Kill
gore, Samuel Redmond, David Rice
Bullock.
In many of the voting precincts,
the names of the Lincoln electors did
not appear on the poll book at all
such was the pro-slavery sentiment at
that time; and several of those who
had the courage to vote the Republic
can ticket were burned in effigy by the
proscriptive populace.
Some Changes In the Voting
Compare with the results of the
county election in 1915 when Hon
Harry P. Purnell was elected as rep
resentative of the county with the
election for representatives, Mason
county was entitled to two at the
time, in August 1867. Here is how tho
vote stood at that time:
E. c. Phister, Democrat. .1,7i1
L. B. Goggin, Republican. ....... 800
Phister's majority ............ 1887
n. l.. Parry, Democrat. .........1 1871
D. Rice Bullock, Republican. -. 1913
Parry's majority .............1,4 400
In the 1915 election the vote was
as follows:
Hon. S. F. Reed. Democrat. 49,. 1908
H. p. Purnell, Republican. ..... .2,245
Perhaps Republican paper in our
midst works wondrous change in the
political affairs of county.

INDUSTRIAL UNREST
Labor and Capital Develop Spirit
OF Accommodation

Industrial unrest in the United
States is at a minimum, less than
the Department Of Labor has
known for many months says q
special from Washington.
Officials ascribe the improved
situation to the spirit of accom-
mediation brought about between
capital and labor by the realization
that discord endangers the success
of war.
Adjustment boards have COM
paratively few cases before them
now, according to information
gathered by the Council OF Ma
tional Defense. At the Labor
Department it was said that the
general labor condition was ex-
eellent.
Close watch on labor conditions
is being maintained by govern
ment agencies to smooth out diff
ferenceS before they reach point
of feeling.
