CENTRE HALL. “Wo
The election in the town passed off
very quietly and there was little or no
excitement. The voting started as
soon as the polls were open in the
morning and there was a steady stream
in and out until the close in the even-
ing. The boro polled a larger vote
than ever before in its history. There
were 147 registered, and of these 142
voted, along with several who came in
on age. The Democrats were the gain-
ery by this increase in numbers, while
the Republicans merely held their
own. The Democrats with few excep.
tions voted their ticket straight, and
what cutting was done was indulged
in by both parties. For the Domo-
crats Cyrus Bruogart led his tleket
with 116, he receiving a number of Re
publican votes, while Strohm and
Robb led the Republicans with 42 each.

ter in Congress will be without effect
in determining the policy of the gov-
ernment. He will have no serious |
trouble in getting his scheme through |
the Senate will have something to say
before it can be put through that body.
Senator Chauncey Depew has found
out that Boss Platt, who made him
Senator, isn't the whole thing in
Washington, and he doesn’t rejoice
over the knowledge. Platt compelled
Depew to join him in making a fight
upon the acceptance by the Treasury
Department of plans for the New York
Custom House, chosen in open compe-
tition by a Committee of Architects,
and endorsed by the New York and
Philadelphia branches of the Ameri-
can Tostitute of Architects, not because
he knew of any defects in the plans,
but because the successful competitor
was Mr, Cass Gilbert, of Chicago, and
not a New York machine politician.
Secretary Gage, to his credit be it re-
corded, refused to be influenced by po-
litical pressure and decided in favor of
the report of the Committes of Archi-
tects. This was Mr, Depews first taste
of humble ple, and if he could control
his own actions it might be his last,
but having agreed before being elected
Senator, to d everything in a political
way that Platt asked him to, it proba-
bly will not be.
If prominent men from the eastern
section of the U. B.,, who come to
Washington, know the sentiment of
their people, the anti-imperialist spirit
is rapidly growing in that section.
Said one of them Mr. E. 8. Beach, of
the Boston bar: “Senator Hoar is
voicing the better sentiment and I be
lieve that sooner or later, the country
will appreciate his efforts to keep our
government in the safe path justified
by all the years of our national exist-
ence. There urea great many good

At former elections they were required
to be at the polls all day without re

a law enacted by the last Legislature
they are each to receive $3 “to keep
the peace” at the presenti election.
They are also now empowered to ap-

each precinet of their respective wards,
