Republicans Lose Election

Returns from the special election,
held in the Seventh Representative dis
trict of Sussex county on Thursday,
indicate that Elmer J. Turner, Demo
crat has won seat in the General
Assembly, defeating George A. Nit
chell, Republican, by 96 votes. With
the election, goes the majority of the
House of Representatives, the control
of Legislation committees and the poll
tical patronage that accompanies q
party majority in the House..
The Democrats have 18 and the Re-
publicans II members in the lower
chamber. The Senate is Republican by
a vote of II to 6.
The result was surprise to the
Democratic leaders although they had
been pulling all the strings possible to
win it for Turner. The disaster for
the Republican candidate is due politi-
cal observers say to factional differences
in that district. which at the Presiden-
tial election, resulted in Turner polling
tie vote with w. H. e. Hickman, Re-
publican who opposed him. Up to this
time the Republicans and Democrats
had been tied for control of the House,
each having elected II members.

A GENERAL WALK0UT

A general walkout of the workmen
on the new Stale Highway section. at
Black bird, nov under construction by
the Keystone State Construction Com
pany, was experienced Wednesday. The
entire working force. comprising nearly
300 men, refused to continue working
on account of cut in their wages from
40 to 60 cents per hour to fiat mini
mum of 80 cents per hour with nine
hour working day.
Many of the men claimed that they
have no future prospect for work, but
cannot afford to continue working for
the wages offered, due to the present
prices of foodstuffs and board and lodg-
ing asked in the local towns. n any of
these workmen were former farmhands
being employed after the autumn work
was finished on the farm. AS this line
of work is now very slack those in
charge of the road project think they
can get an ample supply of labor later
at their rate of wage. Thus they ex-
meet to continue the work of excava-
ting several deep cuts, and building the
bridges on the right of way during the
winter and early spring, so as to be in
readiness to lay the cement roadbed
after the freezing W. ather is over.

sonal view of the whole beautiful and
impressive scene. an appreciative de-
scription of the school exercises that
marked the closing of the Holifiay
term, last Friday afternoon, Dec. Gath.
But through some mischance he came
too late-after all the lovely Xmas
adornments had been removed, and the
empty rooms were like "a banquet hall
deserted
Then to make matters worse, he lost
the memoranda kindly given him by
two Of the teachers, and can now only
pay brief and very general tribute to
the exceptionally fine student workman
ship displayed in every one of the sew
eral grades in the High School, Home
Economics and Grammar Departments.
The rooms were gracefully garlanded
with red and green crepe paper hung
from the ceiling, framing the windows
or encircling the eIectrics. Red Christ
mas bells, holly and Santa effigies
abounded.
A handsomely trimmed Xmas tree
adorned each room, while the black
boarded walls displayed many clever
student crayon sketches in several
colors depicting tile usual Holiday sub
jects of snowy landscapes, Santa and
his flying deer, etc.
No end of pretty ornamental Xmas
notices and sentiments, all done In col
ored chalk by the scholars, showed on
the boards. There was also clever stu
dent work in basketry, calendars, blot
ters, etc.
A number of the rooms entertained
each other, giving recitations, dramas,
etc Those who saw and heard the
whole pleasing affair, declare it to have
been at once credit to the scholars
and To their teachers. Refreshments of
ice cream aru cake, closed the gay
hour, and so"n all the light
youth were loosed into delightful pan.

probation of it all.
