RESIDENTS CHANGE NAME OF
VILLAGE

The residents of what had long
near HOLLYWOOD, in Lancaster county,
Pa, assembled in public meeting
some days ago to select a more
pleasing name for their thriving viii
lage, perched high on the hills over
looking the Susquehanna river. A
social evening was enjoyed, which in
cluded refreshments and music.
Everyone was asked to suggest an
appropriate name for the village and
strongly-that of Minqua Heights
and Susquehanna Heights, Minqua
being the original name of HOLLYWOOD,
and of course Susquehanna was con-
sidered appropriate because the viii
lage overlooks the river and is situ-
ated on the crest of the hill. About
seventy of villagers were present,
and when the vote was taken all
supporting Minqua Heights were ask
eight responded. Then those sup
porting the name Susquehanna
Heights did likewise, and the host
counted, and deciding vote was that
of mother with an infant in her
arms, counted as two votes, making
the count 20 to %, in favor of the
name, Susquehanna Heights. All
joined in their expression of ap-
prevail of the new and most appropri-
ate name chosen, and by unanimous
consent at the suggestion by J. G..
Feiler it was decided to commence
rate the event of naming the village
by yearly gathering of all residents
on the anniversary date, August 2,
so that yearly report of progress
may be made and the. spirit of good
fellowship KEEP: alive always.
I With this splendid beginning and
the attractive name, the inviting To-
cation and neighborly environment,
surely Susquehanna Heights merits
the continued approval of the Mould
er of All Destinies. In order to APP
pease anyone who may have felt dis
appointed in discarding again the
beautiful Indian name of Minqua this
name was therefore appropriately ap-
piled to the beautiful natural ravine
leading from Susquehanna Heights
to the river at point near what was
formerly known as Gully Falls.

DEMOCRATS
IN n. Y.
Victories in Upstate
Seen as Rebuke
To Roosevelt

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 8 G.N.S0.
New York state Republicans, jubi-
liant over their 80 to SO Assembly
victory in President Roosevelt's
home state, today acclaimed the
outcome as body blow for the
New Deal and al indication that
the conservative east will be in
the G. o. P. column next year.
The Republicans, who made
national issues their chief talk
ing points in a campaign which
started last May. smashed down
the Democrats in Erie and Mon
roe, largest upstate counties, to
overturn an exiStin, Democratic
margin of II to 70.
They gained three seats in Erie
and as many more in Monroe, in
addition to defeating Democratic
incumbents in Greene county, the
Sixth district of Kings and the
Second in Rensselaer,. The G. o.
P. also retained all of their pres
ent seats.
Democratic leaders, including
Postmaster General James A.
Farley, refused to concede the as
sembly outcome as a New Deal
reputation. They pointed out that
the SO successful Democratic can
didates polled more votes than
the 80 Republican vjctorS and
stressed the fact that Democratic
mayors were elected in such G..
o. P. strongholds as Watertown,
Ogdensburg, Poughkeepsie, Cohoes
and Auburn.
Mack Defeated
The New York State election
was given national emphasis
when President Roosevelt. who
took no active part in the cam.
paign, voted from his Hyde Park
home.
Incidentally. the Republican
assembly candidate from the
Roosevelt district, Emerson D.
Fite, a VaSSar college professor,
was reelected over John Mack,
jr., son of the man who nomi.
mated Roosevelt for the presi'
dency at the 1882 Chicago con-
vention.
PIuralities Grow
Farley's home county, Rockland
reelected a Republican assembly
man, Laurens Hamilton, jr.. by
more than 1000 votes. Hamilton
is a nephew of j. P. Morgan.
The Democrats made their best
showing in New York City and
Albany. Tammany Hall, fre
quently pictured as anti-Roosevelt
reelected all of its Democratic as
sembly incumbentS.
The G.. o. P, riding the crest
of victory, were confident the out
come of yesterdays election
coupled with the recent Republi
can victory in Rhode Island
means a solid block of Eastern
electoral votes for their party in
1886.
Much Of the anti-Democratic
sentiment in New York State was
not reflected in the final assem-
bly, figures. In many Republican
counties, G.. o. P. candidates fol-
reelection, won by pluralities fal
in excess of their 1884 margins.

In a national sense, and in

election, the outcome strength
ened belief that the political drift
along the Atlantic seaboard and
in the East generally is away from
the Roosevelt administration. and
that if Mr.. Roosevelt is to be re-
elected next year he will have to
look west of the AlleghenieS.
The Democrats by no means
concede this, but the Republicans
are confident of it. The Repub-
licans believe the drift away from

Roosevelt experimenting" is so
strong in the eastern States that
they can afford to devote most of

Yet. with some plausibility, the
Democrats retort that Republican

means a clear indication that New
