 After predicting his own demise, a great man has passed on. The in ventor of a famous mouse trap which | has been @ blessing to countless housewives, Raphael Chase, of Mid | dletown, died yesterday. His herit- age is one of the best known instru- ments in household use.

Campaigns are over, | the new mayor is ready for the task | and may there be no bitters mixed | with the sweets, either to the old or | to the new.
 The On1ooker praised and does so again, the splendid way in which the | crowd was handled election night, due | to the efficiency of Supt. Patrick J. Flanagan and the bluecoated regiment i on duty.
 1 Of course it would never do to ad- 1 here strictly to the tenets of Volstead | on election night, especially such a | party, and still, can we blame the l others either?
