123 with Lardner trailing with 49. The Dewey -Gabb fracas was given to Dewey by the margin of 113 to 5s. here again the republican sheriff being cut heavily. filling annexed 12s to McCarthy's AS votes. One feature of the East Berlin vote was the fact that Gaffney, who was en- dorsed by both parties. did not poll a vote on the democratic side of the ballot in this district. No socialist ballots were boiled In any of the three districts.
 Grange Elects
 While the town and state and most of New E-.gland were awaiting election returns. the Berlin Grange, No. 24. gathered at their hall on Pennington avenue to hold their an- nual election of officers for the con- ing year. A recorl crowd was in attendance for tho balloting. The results were as follows: Master, George W. Tryon: overseer, Howard Stevens; lecturer. Florence Tryon; steward, Harold Skinner: assistant steward, Gustav Lindquist; chaplain. Charles M. Weldon: treasurer. George B. Garter; secretary. Agnes B. Adams; gate keeper. William G.. Sheldon; Ceres. Myrtle Prior; Po- mona. Mrs. W. r. Sheldon: Flora, Mrs. s. Goodcll; lady assistant stew ard, Mrs. Ada Watkins; executive committee for three years. Joseph Wilson.
 George W. Tryon has long been one of the foremost workers in the Grange here and the Berlinites are congratulating themselves on their choice for leader for the coming year. The past season has been described as one of the most suc- cessful in the history of the local lodge and plans for the coming year promise to surpa- last years high water mark.
 Fine Rum ,ller
 At the regular weekly session of the Berlin town court, Judge George G. Griswold fined Lencra Stazic of Christian Lane s1oO and costs on the charge of the Illegal sale of H. quor. This case was the first of Its kind to be brought before the court for the past six months.
 Talk of Voting Machines
 Within the past few days, before the election returns were finally posted last evening, considerable talk was afoot in thi5 place in favor of the installation of voting ma chimes to take place of the Austral- ian ballot in use at present. AS most of the towns of the size of Berlin have long since discarded the old pencil ballot in favor of the more efficient machines. 1t is generally be- lieved that this place should install the new devices IT. the near future. An example of the difference In time spent in counting the ballots makes itself evident with the fact that the New Britain wards turned in their results to the Herald with in 20 minutes after the last lever had been pulled while Berlin took two hours for It's count and even this time was described ss a record breaker as usually 1t Is matter of three and even four hours hard work before the tally sheets are made to balance.
 The Herald wishes to thank the moderators of the three districts for their prompt report of the local re- suits for this ~aper's use for dis tribution to the state at large via the Associated Press.
