COUNTY PARADE. 
More than 1000 Torchlight Bearers in proces- 
sion at Beverly 
Beverly’s county torchlight parade, 
Monday night, was a grand success. 
The weather could not have been bet- 
ter. The crowd was all that could be 
expected. The paraders made an 
excellent showing, and the Garden 
City can well feel proud of the whole 
thing. 
It has been quite variously estimat- 
ed that from 900 to 1500 were in the 
line of march, and it can be said with 
truth there were more than 1000 torch- 
light bearers in line. 
Long before 8.30, the hour set for 
the start the crowd began to assemble, 
and the battalions began to arrive, 
and it was after midnight when the 
city again settled down to its normal 
condition. It is estimated that there 
were more than 10,000 people on Bev- 
erly streets that night. 
The streets through which the 
torchlight paraders marched were 
aglow with red fire, and were lined 
with people. Cabot street was pack- 
ed, but the crowd was of the good 
natured kind and no trouble was evi- 
denced by the police. 
Crowds of people from Manchester 
and Beverly Farms came to Beverly 
to see the parade, as well as from 
other towns surrounding. The line of 
march was from Depot Square, 
through Rantoul street, to Salem 
bridge, counter march through Cabot 
to Gloucester crossing, Rantoul to 
Broadway, to Cabot, to the Central 
Fire station, where the line passed in 
review. Lunch was served on _ the 
Common after the parade. The line: 
Platoon of mounted police, Chief W. A. 
Ferguson. 
Chief marshal, Hon. Samuel Cole. 
Chief of staff, C. A. Cahoon. 
Cavalcade of one hundred horsemen. 
First Division. 
Marshal, John H. Girdler. 
Adjutant, J. A. Woodward, eight aids. 
Beverly Cadet band, 30 men; C. E. Grush, 
leader.

Rally at Farms. 
Red fire and glowing Republican 
enthusiasm joined hands in making 
the rally at Beverly Farms a success 
Tuesday night. Small though the 
band of Roosevelt and Fairbanks’ 
suppcrters may be in ward 6, their

HASKELL. 
ardor is none the less strong, as has 
been demonstrated by their activity 
through this campaign. 
In Marshall's hall Tuesday night a 
goodly crowd of supporters gathered 
and listened to stirring speeches by 
Ex-Rep. U .G. Haskell of Beverly, and 
Rep. Guy W. Ham of Boston. Ex- 
Rep. W.R. Brooks of the city com- 
mittee presided. The West Beach 
Tars acted as escort to the invited 
guests. 
The speakers were given liberal 
applause as they spoke on the various 
issues of the campaign and they were 
greeted with rousing cheers at the 
conclusion of their remarks. The 
Tars certainly displayed enthusiasm 
such as is seldom seen in a_ small 
place like the Farms.
