Guy U. Hardy Gets
Large Majority

The official figures give Guy U
Hardy, candidate for re election
as representative in Congress a
majority of II, $40. He had sub
stantial majority in every county
in the district, and in a number
of the counties ran far ahead OF
others on the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Hardy had to rely upon his
own record and had none of the
especially favorable combinations
to run against. His opponent was
probably the best known Demo-
crat in the district. His oppon-
ent had the advantage of having
no Socialist or Farm Labor candi-
date in the field. which helped
other candidates on the Republi-
can ticket.
Neither did Mr.. Hardy have the
advantage of the special fight that
was made upon the Non Partisan
League candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket by many Democratic
newspapers and party leaders.
which was plainly noticeable in
vote for governors, lieutenant gov
ernors, treasurer and auditor.
Senator Nicholson and Attorney
General Keyes carried the party
vote well, and did not profit es-
pecially by the fight against the
Non-Partisan League, and in their
cases there were third party candi-
dates in the field. Senator Nichol-
sons majority in the Third dis
trict is 5,3S1, and Attorney Gen
eral Keyes 3,765.
The majority Of 11,540 given
h i'm must indicate a disposition
on the part of many to show their
appreciation of the splendid SER
vice rendered by Congressman
Hardy. His majorities by coun-
ties are as follows:

Water Board Considers
 Development of Supply

It is understood tEaf the report of Engineer Allan Hazen relative to inn provements in the city's water supply contains a recommendation for the boring of wells and the pumping of water in Bristol on land held by the board of water commissioners. The land contains about three square miles and will allow of natural filtra- tion. Other items said to be con- tained in the report are provisions for the raising of the Shuttle Meadow reservoir to give better pressure, fil
 tration. and to allow of water being pumped into the reservoir. It would also make the supply available more quickly than the development of Bur- lington as planned by the board of water commissioners would allow.
