1HE result
Senator Harding’s birthday party
Nov. 2, was largely attended and it is
noted that among the guests there were
more than a million Democrats who
who came in force from nearly every
State north of Mason and Dixon’s line.
These Democrats came to show that they
were men who put America above party
fealty. They came to express their em
phatic disapproval of internationalism,
waste, extravagance, incompetence and
unchecked profiteering. The election
was an avalanche of public opinion which
swept the erstwhile leaders (?) of the
Democratic party into political oblivion.
following is a brief summary of results
as they appear up to Wednesday noon:
Harding has carried New Hampshire,
Wyoming, Kansas and Montana and
New York city by a majority of 2 to 1.
Harding’s majority in Maine will be more
than 75,000. Vermont is for Harding 3
to 1. Returns from half of New York
state indicate that that state will give
Harding 1,000,000 majority. Ohio is for
Harding by more than 200,000 majority.
Returns from the middle West indicate a
clean sweep there with large majorities.
Utah, Colorado, California, Washington,
Oregon and the Dakotas are republican
by good majorities. Republican majority
in N. J. about 150,000. West Virginta
strongly republican. Boston for Hard
ing by 30,000 majority. Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, republi
can by unprecedented majoriti s. The
South appears to be solid for Cox. Ok
lahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee and New
Mexico are probably democratic. In
Missouri with fragmentary returns , Cox
leads by about 2,000.

A White Plains, N. Y.,‘exchange oj
Oct. 18th has the following news of
special interest to the many Belfast
friends of the bride:
The marriage of Miss Eva Louise
Wood of 8 Mitchell Place and Belfast,
Maine, to Dr. Watson A. Lawrence of
204 Maitine avenue, took place Saturday
afternoon at two o’clock at the parson
age of the First Baptist church, the Rev.

attendant was Miss Ethel Wood, sister
of the bride. Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence are
now on their wedding trip to the White

Rev. Roger S. Guptill, for about five
years a Methodist missionary in the Bel
gian Congo, Africa, addressed a meeting
at the Methodist Church in this city
Sunday evening. His headquarters are at
Elizabethville and the maps he showed
were descriptive of the territory from
Cape Town to the upper Congo. He be
gan his most instructive discourse with
teaching his audience the chorus of
“When the Roll is Called Up Yonder,”
transcribed in the Chibemba language.
He also sang “Jesus Loves Me,” in that
language. The pictures were remarkably
clear aud the first one thrown upon the
screen was that of David Livingston,
followed by the monument erected over
that great travellers heart which was
buried in Africa. While some of the
pictures of the cannibals were appalling
they served to show most effectively
what a great work Mr. Guptill and his
young wife are doing in that dark conti
nent. The views of trees, plant life and
mountain scenery were beautiful. All
who heard the talk and saw the pictures
will always remember them in reading or
thinking of Africa.

We have made the above reductions in price to
meet the lower market price of today. We have some
other shoes which we have re-priced.
When good shoes are cheaper you can buy them
here as cheap as anywhere. We are the only shoe
store in the city who uses the Clarke Foot Measure.

The machine perfected by Mr. ilarold iclarke answers
every requirement for general use, and the writer does not
hesitate to lecommend it as being absolutely correct and true.
Personally the writer tested the machine as to the length and
width of his own feet and found the result to be exact In
comparison with other machines, the Clarke machine,from its
simplicity of construction, offers many advantages over any
thing heretofore produced. VV, D. McKISSICK,
