A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT

A beautiful sight greeted the vision
of numbers of our citizens. one day last
week, when flock of sheep, more than
eleven hundred in number, were driven
through our streets, They were the
property of a Mr.. Shields who resides
near Holly and were being taken from
a sheep ranch of several hundred acres,
which he owns in northern Michigan,
to his home where they will be kept
during the winter. Estimating
the value of these sheep at $1,000,
which is conservative, this flock is
worth more than $1,000.

DIXIE NEAR COMPLETION

The cement work on the Dixie High
way from Pine Run north to the county
line and south to Mt. Morris has been
completed and the contractors are now
putting the finishing touches to the
dirt bordering on the cement. 1t is ex-
pected the road will be opened for traf-
fic sometime about the first of next
week. This road will form splendid
means of communication with the
southern portion of the state and in the
very near future the southern portion
of the United States. Those who
should know about the technichal side
of road construction tell US that the
section of the Dixie lying within this
county has been very well constructed.

RESULTS
IN VIENNA TOWNSHIP
REPUBLICANS SCORE MAORI
TIES ON ENTIRE TICKET
Ford and Stevens Only Democrats to
Make Any Impression on the
Republican Vote

The result of the election in Vienna
Township was, az usual, a big majority
for the Republican ticket from top to
bottom. The day was almost ideal so
far as weather conditions were con-
cerned and the total vote, 375, was
possibly fairly representative consider
ing the fact that many young men of
the township are serving in the armies
in France.
The straight tickets were 2l5 Repub-
lican, 81 Democrat and one Socialist.
Governor Sleeper received 272 votes, as
against SO for John w. Bailey, his
Democratic opponent, and this proper
tion held good, with the variation of a
few votes, throughout the entire state
ticket.
Locally, as throughout the state, in
terest centered in the contest between
Henry Ford, famous auto manufactur-
er, and Commander Truman H. New
berry. for the United States senatorship.
The auto king was considerably favored
in the splitting of tickets, receiving
sixty-six as against twenty-seven for
Newberry. The result was that New
berry received total of 242 votes and
Ford 123-a majority of 1l9 for the
Republican candidate.
For congressman, Patrick H. Kelley,
having no opposition, received 273
votes.
Claude NJ. Stoddard, candidate for
state senator, had no opposition, and
received 273 votes.
In the contest for the Legislature,
Peter B. Lennon received 27l votes, as
against "a cast for Frank Goodrich, the
Democratic nominee.
| The closest fight among the contest
ants for purely county offices was that
| between the candidates for circuit
Judge. Fred w. Brennan, present in
cumbent by appointment, received 25(
votes as against ITO cast for former
Judge Mark w. Stevens.
For the various county Offices the
vote in detail was as follows:

No great damage was done by the
boys and girls on Halloween and
considerable innocent fun was had.
And yet, large number Of windows
were needlessly covered with soap.
Some way or other we fail to see
where there is any fun in this sort of
thing, and while we were not greatly
bothered, we know that it was con-
siderable task for many to get out in
the cold wind and spend an hour or
two at washing windows. We call
this window soaping business an un-
mitigated nuisance and wish that our
boy and girl friends could see the
matter as it really is and find fun at
Halloween in some other and better
way.

VIENNA SOLDIER RETURNS

Glen Blaine, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Blaine, who was wounded in
the fighting in France, during July,

the leg and his back was severely in
jured by the explosion of big shell.
His limb has healed perfectly, but the
injury to his back is still troublesome
and he was sent home for treatment
in a hospital. He wrote that he ex-
pected to get home at Christmas time,
if not before.

NEWBERRY LEADS IN
SENATORIAL RACE
VOTE so CLOSE AS TO MAKE RE-
SUIT DOUBTFUL
Republicans Win Entire State Ticket
and Eleven Congressman
out of Twelve

The latest available information of
the senatorial contest between Henry
Ford and Commander Truman H. New
berry shows the navy officer in the lead
by about three thousand votes. Wayne
county gave Ford approximately 3O.-
900 majority, while Newberry's up
state majority is apparently about 35,-
600. With more than two hundred pre-
cincts yet to report, the result will
have to be considered doubtful, with
the circumstances favoring Newberry.
If either candidate receives less than
10000 majority it seems probable that
a recount will be demanded by the
loser.
Governor Sleeper and the balance of
the Republican state ticket win out by
majorities above 900 Eleven out of
twelve congressman elected Tuesday
are Republicans. the exception being
Congressman Doremus, of Wayne
County.
Party managers on both sides are
claiming control of both houses OF con-
gress, but with many districts yet to
hear from, the result must be consider
ed doubtful. The Republicans, how
ever; seem to have the best grounds
for their claims at the present time.
Later-Press dispatches of Thurs
day evening state that Newberry's S
election is conceded by majority of
from six to ten thousand.

One of the most important issues of
of the election, by far the most import
ant as touching politics and polices of
the future, was that of equal suffrage
whereby it was proposed to give wom-
en- the ballot on basis OF equality with
men On this proposition the men of
Vienna were very gallant. giving their
women the elective franchise by vote
of 553 to ll8. Throughout the state the
amendment carried by majority es-
timated at from 5000 to 5000.
The amendment relative to printing
all proposed amendments on a single
ballot received majority of 258. The
indications are that it received approval
Throughout the state
Flint city gave Ford a majority of 92,
while Newberry's majority in Genesee
County, outside the city, is 69S.
Prosecuting Attorney, Roy E. Brow
nell led all county candidates with a
majority of 1916. The entire Repub-
lican ticket was elected.

OBITUARY..
Samuel c. Ash

Samuel Carlos Ash passed away at
his home in Arbela township, Tus-
cola county, October 81, 1918. He
was born in Liverpool, N. Y, October
22, 1889, and came to Michigan in
the early seventies, settling on a
tract of land in Arbela which he pur-
chased direct from the state. On
March 25, 1874, he, married Jane
Grey, who survives him. Five chill
dren were born of this marriage, four
of whom, Mrs. Isaac Hitsman of Ar
bella, Mrs. Nelson Perry of Spring
wells, Mrs. Seymour E. Pond of De-
troit, and Mrs. Charles G. Wright of
Caro-, are living; and one, Mrs. Clar-
ence Banks, of Lansford, N. D., who
passed away October /, 1909. Other
surviving relatives are two sisters,
Mrs. Isaiah Cooper, of Midland, and
Miss Ida Ash, of Arbela; one brother,
Mr.. Ambrose Ash, of Vassar, and
nine grandchildren. Mr.. Samuel Ash
was a pioneer of Arbela township,
having lived on his farm for nearly
half century, during all of which
time he worked with the single pur-
pose of making a home in which the
members of his family take pride and
find comfort. He was especially in
terested in education and this interest
is reflected in his children, all of
whom have been successful teachers
in Michigan schools. Mr.. Ash was a
man of scrupulous honesty and high
moral courage. He believed in force
full and direct expression and his
meaning was always clear. 1t is,
perhaps, due to these characteristics
that much of his success was OBJ
tanned. In his death the community
has lost valued citizen, and the
home wise counsellor and loving
father. 1t is not easy to spare such
men.
