The number of registered voters 
in Manchester has been steadily in- 
creasing the past five years until it 
now lacks only six of being 600. In 
’o2 there were 474 voters; ’03; 518; 
04, 562; ’05, 570,,and in ’o6 there 
are 594. While this shows a gain 
of 25 per cent., the gain in popula- 
tion the past five years is not any- 
where near that amount. The large 
number of summer residents who 
are now mating Manchester their 
“residence” is largely responsible 
for this. 
Mrs. Sarah Mitchell. 
Mrs. Sarah Mitchell, for a great 
many years a resident of Manches- 
'.ter, passed away at the residence of 
her daughter, Mrs. Sylvester Dade, 
at South Essex, last Friday, after a 
long illness. She was 86 years old. 
She was a widow of the late Wm. 
Mitchell, and is survived by -two : 
daughters and several. grand- 
daughters, one of whom is Mrs. 
Chester L. Crafts of this town. 
Funeral services were held Mon- 
day afternoon at the Crowell Me- 
morial chapel, the Rev. Dr. D. F. 
Lamson officiating. Burial was at 
Rosedale. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
RECORD VOTE ON TUESDAY. 
The Largest Vote Ever Recorded 
in Manchester. Republican Can- 
didates the Choice. Cong. A. P. 
Gardner Again Elected. James 
F. Shaw of Manchester the Next 
Senator. 
Tuesday’s election brought out 
the largest vote ever recorded in 
Manchester, their being 473 ballots 
cast out of a total registration of 
594. Last year’s vote was 454, three 
behind that of the presidential elec- 
tion in 1904, when 457 ballots were 
cast. 
It was an ideal day, regular “Re- 
publican weather,” so the Demo- 
crats said. Outside the great inter- 
est in the gubernatorial contest this 
year between Guild and Moran, the 
greatest interest centered locally in 
the congressional contest between 
A. P. Gardner and George A. Scho- 
field. This latter was in part re- 
sponsible for the large vote. 
Mr. Gardner run about 30 votes 
behind the ticket, while the differ- 
ence between his vote and that for 
Mr. Schofield was only 62. The 
normal difference between the votes 
of the two parties was very nearly 
200. The fact that there were only 
16 blanks in this vote also shows 
the interest taken. 
The vote for John B. Moran did 
not come up to the expectations of 
either the Democrats or Republi- 
cans. His whole vote, Prohibition, 
Independence League, Democratic, 
and scattering, was only 156. He 
received only 15 more votes than 
Bartlett received last year, while 
Guild beat his own vote of last year 
by 17. The latter’s vote was 294. 
Last year the vote was: Guild, 277; 
Bartlett, 141. 
James F. Shaw received a good 
vote for the State Senate, going one 
ahead of the ticket, 295. 
The Prohibition vote was. about 
12 this year. There was an average 
Socialist vote of four. 
The polls were opened at 6 
o'clock, Clerk A. S. Jewett reading 
the call. Chairman F. K. Swett. of 
the selectmen swore in the follow- 
ing officers: W. W. Hoare, Ed- 
ward Crowell, Clarence Morgan, T. 
B. Stone, T. C. Rowe, G. E. Will- 
monton, James Hoare and Lyman 
W. Floyd. 
The early morning vote was quite 
large. At 9 o'clock just 140 ballots 
had been registered. A little after 
3 o'clock Chief Peabody opened the 
ballot box and took out the first 
instalment of ballots. When. the 
polls closed at 4.30 a total of 473 
had been cast. The counters had 
completed their work at 6.17, and 
A CRUISE FOR OIL 
A skipper from Nantucket 
Went forth to seek the whale. 
He cruised about for three long years 
And saw nor fin nor tail. 
“T ain’t got any ile,” said he, 
“ But I’ve had a fust-rate sail.” 
Hearst and Moran 
Also ran. : 
Like the skipper of Nantucket, 
Neither of them struckit. ~ 
Schofield 
Has no field. 
How bitter he feels! 
Cap. Gardner, 
His pardner, 
After all the carouse, 
(And Berle’s bow-wows,) 
Lodges safe in the House. 
There is Hearst, 
(He’s the worst!) 
With his Tammany deals, 
His frantic appeals, 
While the truth he conceals,— 
His bubble is burst. 
For the present he’s hearsed. 
While Moran, 
Ah! Moran, 
The tripartite man, 
Is a little tin Hearst 
On wheels. 
With his call to the wild 
He was sadly beguiled. 
Do you wonder he’s riled? 
Since he is called down, 
With vagary Brown; : 
More ant more they’re done brown. 
Of leaders bereft, 
Their party is left 
Not a scalp to its crown. 
We gave them their lemon, 
Each with a stem on, 
With no sugar to sweeten . 
The fact they are beaten. 
How’s the old Commonwealth ? 
Thanks! In excellent health. 
‘With our party well-builded,, 
The State House dome gilded, 
(Re-Guilded !) 
Good-bye to Moran and his moaning. 
the vote was announced a little 
after 6.30. 
In the evening the returns were 
taken at the Town hall by  tele- 
phone, though there was not a very 
large crowd on hand. Through the 
courtesy of the New Eng. Tel. & 
Tel. Co., returns were received from 
all over the state and were trans- 
mitted from the local exchange, 
which was quite a busy place all 
the evening, to the telephone in the 
Town hall. W. W. Hoare handled 
the ’phone, and messengers carried 
the returns upstairs, where they 
were announced by Geo. S. Sin- 
nicks. 
Returns were also furnished 
many private individuals by the 
telephone company, including a 
number of the cottagers along the 
shore. 
A tabulated account of the vote 
in Manchester, and also of the dis- 
tricts for State Senator and for Con- 
gressman will be found in another 
column.
