THE COUNTY TICKET
HAS AN EASY TIME
Republican Candidates Roll Into
Office at Crest of the
Big Vote Wave.

Gratiot Republicans had just as
little to worry them Tuesday as they
nave had at any time in years in
county elections, the Democrats hav-
ing as little luck in office grabbing
IN Gratiot county, as in the national
and state elections. 1t was a clean
sweep for Republicanism in Gratiot.
While a clean sweep for the Re-
publicans,, the Democrats took two
offices, electing William A. Bahlke
of this city and Ray Mccall of Ith-
aca as circuit court commissioners.
They had no opposition in the race.
but even at that ran little better
than the balance of the ticket. Some
few Republicans paid the two a COM
phmentary vote in some instances.
but on the whole there was little at
tention paid to the two offices by the
Republicans.
The county ticket was carried into
office at the crest of the big tide of
votes that gave the G. o. p. nomi-
nees almost three votes to one for
the opposition.
IL had been predicted that James
kress, Alma city attorney. who was
the Republican nominee for Probate
Judge, would get many split votes
from Alma Democrats, but this did
not prove 10 be the case, as he was
given little encouragement from the
Alma Dems. Alma paid a fine tri-
butte to Kress, however, but then the
Alma Republicans also gave that
same tribute to every candidate on
the ticket most of whom are office
holders of proven ability.
There had been some little worrv
expressed in some quarters in regard |
to the possible chances that Bernie
Case, county clerk, might be defeat
ed in view of the hard campaign
mat was waged for Sarah Brode-
beck. The fight that Miss Brode-
beck put up to become Gratiot's first
woman office holder, allowed her TO
Ilnish just slightly better than the
balance of the ticket, some few votes
n a number of precincts in various
parts Of the county, giving her a
slight lead over the Others of her
icket.
Tabdlation of the vote in the conn
y appears elsewhere in The Record.

FAVOR CHARTER AMENDMENT
Give Vote of Almost Five to One On
Proposition To Change Fiscal
Year.

The voters of the city of Alma on
Tuesday expressed themselves as
heartily in favor of bonding the COM
munity for $4,000 to be used in the
expansion of the water system, and
TO furnish the city with pure well
water supply by completing the well
system by the addition of an elevat-
ed tank, million gallon reservoir
and new wells. The proposition to
change the fiscal year carried by a
large vote.
The measure received over the so
per cent vote that it needed, although
1t will not be until the official return
is made that the exact count is Sc
sured, as Record figures, while show
ing that the proposition passed by
more than the required 60 per cent,
do not give quite as large a total as
the city officials secured. This is a
minor matter, however, as it is GER
tain that Alma has approved the is
sue.
Figures compiled by The Record
are more liable to contain the error
than those of the city officials, be-
cause Of the stress or work in COM
piling other returns at the office.
The Record count shows 1906 in fav-
or of the bond issue and 657 opposed
to the bonding of the city.
Of this amount $4,000 is TO be
used for the purchase of an elevated
tank of 100000 gallons capacity, S5,-
500 for q plunger pump, $4,000 for
the construction of a million gallon
reservoir, and 5000 for water main
extensions and new wells.

SENATE TO Be REPUBLICAN
School Amendment Buried in State
But Given Lead in Alma and
Gratiot.

Tuesdays election in both the
United States and Michigan was a
wonderful landslide which exceeded
even the fondest expectations of the
most partisan of Republicans, the
success of the national ticket, sweep
ing everything except the "solid
SOUTH" carrying Republicans on both
state and county tickets into office in
numerous states, where G.. o. p.
victory had hardly been predicted.
The success of the national ticket
which swept Harding and Coolidge
INTO the presidency and vice presi-
dency on the crest of a great wave
of votes, and gave the Republicans
good working majority in both the
house and the senate, spells the
death knell of the League of Nations.
without reservations, the injection of
the League into the campaign by the
Democrats making it the big issue of
the fight, which was turned into a
rout for the Wilson pact.
In the Michigan election Alex J.
Groesbeck, whose followers had ex-
pected a majority Of about $4,000 or
less over Ferris, was given a happy
shock, as the majority of the Repub-
lican nominee exceeds any that has
ever been rolled up in Michigan
election. Ferris ran ahead of his
ticket in nearly every section of the
state, but strong as the former Gov
ernor is, he was not able to stem
to any appreeiable extent. the flood
of Republican votes.
The balance of the Republican
ticket in Michigan was carried into
office by even larger majority than
that given Groesbeck, indicating that
Michigan is still in the front rank
as solid G.. o. p. state.
Both Alma and Gratiot county re-
turned majority for the school
amendment, which held the greatest
interest Of the election in Michigan.
Alma gave Yes 1915, No 6S9. The
county probably gave it the largest
majority of any county in. the state.
Few counties returned for the mea-
sure, and 1t was showed under in the
state. The total vote will show il
beaten by upwards of 100000 votes.
Returns on the other state amend
ments are still meager, and the fate
of thes is not expected to be known
until the official returns are made.
The latest returns, which are still
coming in, indicate that Harding's to-
al of electoral votes will run very
lose to 400. He now seems certain
% have 391, with excellent chances
II breaking into the "solid south" TO
he extent of winning the border
tates of Tennessee and Oklahoma.
n Michigan Harding will have ma
ority reaching close to 100000 when
he count is all in.
Groesbeck's total will be around
10000 majority, apparently, the lat
81 returns indicate, the strength OF
'erris cutting down the Republican
ominee to that extent. Groesbeck's
otal will stand, however, as the sur
rising feature of the campaign in
llchigan, as his closest friends and
olitical observers were not estimat-
lg over 100000 at any time, as his
lajority 1t is splendid tribute TO

the opera house on the second floor
OF tne building, one of the finest in
St. Louis, was blazing fiercely. Goods
from the Vliet dry goods store and
the Smalley clothing store on the
first floor were being rapidly re-
moved from the building, as were the
fixtures. '"0
The fire departments of the two
cities speedily brought the fire nm
der control, and confined il TO the
opera house, although it had been
threatening TO extend to adjoining
buildings. The opera house was ru-
ined, but the only damage done on
the first floor was by smoke and
water. The goods taken hastily from
the two stores on the first floor were
damaged some in moving, and were
also damaged to some extent bv
smoke and water.
