MAIN OFFICE NOTES

Mr.. I. r. Shepard's contemplated
hunting trip failed to materialize
when, due to the long dry spell, the
hunting was called off and he has
returned to his work at the factory.
Among the hunters who combed
the woods of Bucks County on last
Friday morning was our assistant
general manager, F. w. BONNER
and our chief chemist, Mr.. George
P. Loomis. They were successful, we
are informed, in bagging one rab-
bit and only their natural tender
heartedness prevented them from
bringing home great number of
beautiful pheasants.
We also want to make honorable
mention of the fact that Mr.. F. f..
Burnett has been appointed Notary
Public and he has also received n
handsome diploma which is in the
hands of the trainers and he is ex-
pecting seal at any moment.
Elizabeth Stradling spent Sunday
in Valley Forge.
Ruby Crangle and Camilla Lind
sley are attending night school in
Trenton where they are taking up
stenography and typewriting.
Hiram Williams sustained the Sc
we're loss Saturday afternoon at the
football game in Princeton, when the
team of his Alma Mater, Lafayette
was overwhelmingly defeated by
Rutgers. When he returned to his
car, sad at heart, he was further
crushed to discover that someone had
stolen his famous old green overcoat
which has graced the robe rail of
"Old Faithful" for, 10, these many
years. Comforting Mr.. Williams in
his sorrow was Mr.. f. T.. Burnett,
who accompanied him to the game.
Emily Wesner spent Saturday
afternoon in Trenton.
X. B. White, Campbell Ross, and
John Hutchinson also attended the
football game at Princeton, Satur-
day afternoon.
Dummy" Heller was out for two
days with lumbago. During his abb
sence AL. Mangap carried the water

Perkins Leaves

On last Thursday morning because
of the illness of his mother, Clar-
ence w. Perkins, our cost account
ant, gave up his work here and re-
turned to his home at 16 Win
throp St., Everitt, Mass.
Mr.. Perkins came here about
year and a half ago as assistant
to X. B. White in the cost depart
ment and after a short time was
given charge of that department.
During his stay he organized the
work to a very high degree.
On Wednesday morning the office
force presented him with a green
gold fountain pen and pencil in
case Camilla Lindsey made the pre-
sentation speech and expressed for
the office force and factory their
best wishes for his future success,
and regret for his departure and
he replied with the usual bouquets
for those who had worked with him.
Before returning to his home, he
planned to make brief stay in
New York City. As far as we know
his immediate plans include only
vacation from work and a visit with
his people.

The one notable exception to an
otherwise uninterrupted chain OF Re
publican successes throughout the
country was In the state contest OF
New York. Governor Smith won
most impressive victory over Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, although Presi'
dent Coolidge received more votes In
the state than Mr., Davis and Mr.. La
Toilette combined.
The Coolidge total for the State was
1.719,924. that for Mr.. Davis 917,479,
and that for Senator La Toilette 430.-
Oil The President carried every one
of the five borouRhs In the city OF New
York by 133.403. President Harding
carried the city boroughs four years
ago by plurality Of 100000.
The Republican State ticket, headed
by Colonel Roosevelt, did not do 80
well. Governor Smith carried the five
boroughs OF this city-by 374,512. His
lead was reduced to approximately
1870, 900 by pluralities for Colonel
Roosevelt In districts above the
Bronx
Governor Smith carried three up
State counties by greatly reduced
pluralites, as compared to thirteen
which supported him in the wet and
dry fight two years ago.
Colonel Roosevelt received approx
lmately 250,000 votes more than were
given to Nathan l.. Miller two years
ago
OF the 100000 votes east for the La

Coolidge Vote In South Big
President Coolidge probably re-
ceived more votes in the Southern
States than any Republican Preslden-
tial nominee since the Civil War,
though not enough to give him the
electoral vote OF any OF them.
Four years ago President Harding
won the twelve electoral votes of
Tennessee. While President Coolidge
did not do as we'll In this respect, his
candidacy undoubtedly drove a wedge
between the conservative and radical
factions OF the Democratic party in
most of the Southern States.
The box score OF Republican
achievements throughout the country
presented some interesting and, In
spots. startling reflections OF the vot-
ing mind.
For instance. the President carried
New York State by odds OF more than
2 to /, New Jersey by almost 5 to 1,
Pennsylvania by to 1. Illinois nearly
3 to 1, Massachusetts 4 to l. Rhode
Island 3 to 1, Iowa 2 to and onio
by more than 8 to 1.
No previous Presidential contest
was ever settled more speedily than
that which won Mr. Coolidge a lull
term as Executive OF the United
States.
Before o'clock Tuesday night
SUFFICIENT number of returns had been
received to convince New York thai
the Coolidge-Dawes ticket had won
most impressive, though not unexpect

The Republican Presidential ticket
carried thirty-one States with total
of at least $50 electoral votes, or "a
more than the 2G6 necessary for
choice.
John W Davis, the Democratic

States, all south Of the Potomac, with
total of 1876 electoral votes.

certain that Mr.. La Toilette will not
receive any OF these votes.
About $4,000 600 for Coolidge.
