THE IOCNL ELECTION
 MlNlS .tNlhOSETN

W venture 10 assert that even ,ha most optimistic Republican was surprised at inc results in the city yesterday when the candidates of tne C. c. ?. svop, Ncw Britain, car rying the pemooralic Sixth ward as wcll as inc usually Republican wards. The presidential plurality was EroItrr than in any preceding pr"sllcnnal election, though not much greater than that of four years ago. There were about 500 more votes cast than in 1920, dcs- pie tle increased registration.
 No hint Of the animosity to the local branch of the Rorabacl ma chine was particularly evident as it was last spring. when Judge Alling, law partner of George Klett, was de- fea,ed in a purely local affair. Judge Alllng ran with his ticket and was elected to the legislature. Whether the animosity will be carried into future local affairs remains to be seen.
 UnQucstionably the appeal to the pocketbook, via tariff arguments had a great deal to do with the ma jority, although the tariff as an is- sue between parties is practically detunct. Republicans had little else to argue about and they made the most of their old issue, however, a demonstration of tho fact that vot- CTS are not inclined to give the study they should to party principles and platforms,

DOZEN TRAPPED IN BURNING HOUSE
All Are Carried to Safety in New York

New York, Nov. 5.-One woman was seriously injured. several per sons had to be taken from their apartments by firemen on scaling ladders, and more than a dozen families in the immediate vicinity were driven from their homes by a fire in a fve-story apartment house at 2S1 Jersey street. New Brighton. Staten Island, last night.
 The building, formerly the Mac cabee hall, is a concrete and wood- en structure with stores on the ground floor. It is owned by A. N. Ginsberg, who conducts a clothing store on the ground floor and lives with his wife and family on the floor above.
 The fire started in the rear Of the first floor and spread so rapidly up the air shaft and through the wood en section of the building tha, when Deputy Fire Chief William Beggins arrived on the first alarm he sent in two additional alarms that brought out all the fire companies from the north shore of Staten 1s' land and four companies from the south shore, as well as all the avail able police reserves under Deputy Chief Inspector Cornelius Cahalane
 Sparks from the burning building were carried over to houses or Fourth and Fifth streets and tho firemen ordered out the occupants of these places.
New Britain herald., 1924-11-05

Most of the occupants of the burn ing building were able to escape down the rear fire escape, but twelve persons, among them five women and four children, were trapped fin the front section of the house with blazing wall of fire cutting off their exit to the fire escapes in the rear. Bremen carried all of them down their ladders, while other fremen searched the rear part of the house to see that all had laft.
 Mrs. Mamie Tromboni, 2S years old, who lives in the rear of the sec end floor, made her way to the fire escape but became excited ana jumped to the courtyard, forty feet below. She suffered fractured right arm and right leg and was taken 10 the Staten usland hospital. Doctors and ambulances from the Staten Island and St. Vincent's hos pitals went to the scene, and the physicians treated some of the fire men who were overcome with smoke.
 When the fire was at its height it was feared that the flames might spread to the business section on one side and the residential district on the other. but the f1remen kept a sharp watch on adjoining houses and stores and as fast as they caught fire streams of water prevented the blaze spreading. The whole of the wooden section of the building was destroyed

The Day After
 By William M. Barnhart I'm feeling mighty good today; Last night didn't hit the hay Till early morn; l helped to turp old bedlam loose; ] shouted, marched and raised the
 deuce, And blew horn. I watched reports thrown on q
 sheet By men who used, across the
 street,
 A stereopticon. With others there l stuck fl out Until I knew, beyond n doubt,
 My man had won. l, tieklcd girls upon the cheek; I'll have to whisper for a week;
 l nearly frOze; I've got confetti by the peck In hair and ears and down my neck
 And up my nose. I should feel sorry for my boss: Today I an total loss
 Likewise the crew; Hut he's so glad hell let it ride; He voted on the winning side
 And celebrated, too.
