TRUTH 
Written for the BREEZE 
He that’s obedient to the truth, 
The truth shall make him free. 
The mariner to his compass true, 
Hath freedom of the sea. 
The servants of my Lord Jesu 
Have more than liberty. 
And this beside have they, | trow— 
Capacity to grow. 
—J. A. TORREY. 
The Election 
The big surprise of Tuesday’s elec- 
tion was the defeat of James F. Shaw 
of Manchester, at least so far as we 
are concerned in this section of the 
State, and it was one of the surprises 
of the State in general. The surprise 
comes in that a Republican in a dis- 
trict where that party has a majority 
of about 3000 votes was beaten by a 
Democrat. 
We venture to say nobody but Geo. 
A. Schofield could have done it. 
The result was in a large measure 
due to Mr. Schofield’s personal popu- 
larity. He was a man _ everybody 
liked, and especially was he in favor 
with Grand Army veterans and sons 
because of the famous bounty measure 
which he championed last year. He 
has been sent to the House several 
times from a straight Republican dis- 
trict, which is considered something 
beyond the ordinary. 
The outcome was no doubt due, in 
part, to the fact that Mr. Shaw was 
charged with having mixed business 
and politics to the extent of seeking a 
position in the Legislature to further 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
his street railroad plans. 
Mr. Shaw has stoutly denied any 
such intentions, and as the Soston 
Transcript says, ‘however erroneous 
this view may have been, as it is 
obvious Mr. Shaw could do nothing 
in the Senate compared to what he 
could do outside of it, the point made 
by his opponent that such was the 
case appears to have turned away Re- 
publican votes.” 
There were other causes at work, 
which have been so much discussed 
that there is no necessity of going 
over the ground here. 
It matters not what we say, Mr. 
Shaw was not elected, and the issue 
which beat him was not along party 
lines. He was not the choice of the 
people for this office at this time. 
Newburyport, his home city, threw 
him down in favor of the Ipswich 
man, though he might have won out 
if Gloucester had given the backing 
he expected. 
The value of advertising in the 
NortuH SHORE BREEZE was illustrated 
this week by a Farms reader who put 
a “ Lost ’’ notice in last week’s issue. 
The article was returned to him this 
week by the finder, —a Manchester 
man, who had read the notice. 
MANCHESTER. 
Many who have seen the work being 
done on the highway near the centre 
of the town, the past week, have won- 
dered why the concrete bedding has 
been put in. Supt. Kimball says it is 
to lessen deterioration of the streets 
caused by the autos. This is nothing 
new, though very little of it has been 
tried in this section. The cost is less, 
if anything, than the regular thing, 
and at the same time employment is 
given to in-town men. The stone 
usually used is trap rock brought from 
out of town at a cost of $1.35 at the 
freight yard. The town stone is used 
for the concrete work, and this costs 
about 75 cents per ton, while the 
hauling costs about the same in either 
case. This is not an experiment, says 
Supt. Kimball, who purposes to do 
this on al] the principal streets from 
time to time as the streets need re- 
pairing. The concrete bottom gives 
a road that autos will not wear out in 
a hurry. 
Funeral services over the remains 
of the late Mrs. Mary Knowlton, 
whose death last Friday was recorded 
last week, were held at Crowell Me- 
morial chapel last Sunday, Rev. E. H: 
Brewster officiating. Two of the pall- 
bearers were from the Baptist church, 
of which she was a member, and two 
from the G.A.R. post, of which her 
late husband was a member. 
The Manchester Electric company 
have been extending their service 
wires along Norwood avenue this 
week, and have just compieted wiring 
Lincoln street. 
Truly winter has come! The foun- 
tain in the square has been put out of 
commission for the winter and the 
band stand is being removed from the 
dump to the basement of the town 
hall. 
A number of the local gardeners 
took in the flower show in Horticul- 
tural hall, Boston, Thursday and yes- 
terday, and others are planning on 
attending today and Sunday. 
Claude Temple starts Monday for 
the South, where he will spend the 
winter engaged at his trade, paper 
hanger, with the Hall Wall Paper Co. 
in Jacksonville. Mr. Temple goes 
South for his health. He will return 
here in the spring and will resume his 
position with A. J. Orr. 
M. E. Gorman has been spending 
the week in New York on business. 
Thos. J. Dockham, who lived for 
many years in the McKinnon house 
at West Manchester, and who was 
caretaker for the T. K. Lothrops sev- 
eral years, passed away at Beverly 
Farms last Sunday. 
Mrs. Jessie Littlefield has returned 
from Brookline, where she underwent 
a painful operation several weeks ago.
