A Small Fire
At Gas Plant

A small fire called the Alma fire
department to the plant of the Gra-
tiot County Gas company last Friday
morning but the blaze was of such a
nature that it was easily quelled with
q very small loss.
Coke from the ovens in which the
gas is extracted from the coal had
been dumped out and taken to the
conveyor while some it was still
burning, and it started a small blaze
in the woodwork of the trestle, which
was discovered before it had time to
gain headway. The department used
chemicals and then turned the water
on the coke that was still burning.

'regard that they had for him. His
election as senator in a rock-ribbed
Republican state is one Of the most
remarkable tributes that could be
given to him by the people Of his
state.
Governor Groesbeck was returned
10 Lansing as Michigan's governor
for two more years, although at n
greatly reduced margin, the big vo'a
that was accorded to Ferris playing
part in bringing about a reduction
of his vote. 1t is certain, however.
that many Republicans, who voted
for Ferris, cast votes against Groes-
beck, however, because they beliey-
ed Cummins the better man. Groes-
beck's vote in the face Of the scna-
toral fight, was a handsome achieve
ment, however
Few people realized when Bird i.
Vincent came out Of Saginaw q few
months ago as candidate for the
Republican nomination for congrcss-
man to succeed Joseph w. Fordncy,
and came out practically unknown,
that he was to roll up one of the big
gest votes accorded congressional
candidate in the district After =
hard primary fight, such a thing
was hardly looked for although it
was conceded that he would be giv-
en- a large vote. He rapidly won
united Republican support, however,
and in each of the counties Of the
district led the ticket. His majority
over the district may exceed b.
900. Devil. Vought Of this city,
the Democratic candidate, unable to
campaign very extensively, made a
fine showing when this is considered.
The Republicans of the district cx-
pect that Congressman-ele Bird j.
Vincent will prove an able successor
to the retiring Joseph W. Fordncy.
The entire Republican state ticket
from lieutenant governor down was
reelected by about the usual RepuD-
lican majorities, which had been eX-
pected throughout the campaign.

pected TO develope in Gratiot County

Gratiot County as he did in the other
counties of the district. Gratiot
handed him 1921 votes.
In the legislative race between
Seaver and Long, fight which had
not been anticipated by many, de-
veloped. Seaver was in the lead as
the returns started to come in and
with three precincts still missing
Wednesday morning was slightly in
the lead, but the final three pre-
cincts when they reported boosted
Long into the lead with a majority
of II votes, and handed the election
TO the Democratic candidate.
Carl f. Gallagher, Democrat, cam
didate for county clerk also ran
ahead of the normal Republican
vote, but was defeated for the cleo
tion by Harriet Colwell of Ithaca.
