xttm VOLUME 71 POTSDAM, ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY, N. Y., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1922 SMITH WINS BY A BIG MARGIN i.' r HIS VICTORY DOES NOT MEAN A DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE SMITH'S PLURALITY IS EXPECTED TO EXCEED 400,000, MAYBE 500,000. THE Nl XT GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK . New York, Nov. 8.—Ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith has .overwhelmingly defeated Governor Nathan E . Miller in the Empire State Gubernatorial election yesterday. Smith will have a plurality of about 485,000. With greatly reduced majorities, the state legislature remains Republican in both branches. Smith has probably swept his state ticket into office •with\ him. It was more than a landslide. It was a Smith tornado which swept through the State. There never has beefc ..anything comparable with, it in a Straight State election in New Yorit.\ .*•••'•. ' Alfred E. Smith has repeated the political miracle he performed two years ago, when he turned over nearly; a million votes in a. Presiden- tial year. H e cut down to barely #6,000'the Republican upstate plur- ality on Which Governor Miller re - lied. ' Smith beats Hylajns record of last year. He beats all records of all candidates for Governor. The Legislature remainB Republi- can by reduced majorities in both Houses. The Republicans appear t o have more than 28 Senators and more than eighty Assemblymen. That gives them comfortable control. It makes precisely the same situation that, existed during Mr. Smith's first term in the State Capital. . j While running far behind Smith,! Dr. Royal S. Gopeland has been car-; lied into the United States Senate! •on the wave. Hi s vote would be amazing were i t not beaten so far| by Smiths. | The remainder of the State ticket j was carried through by the Smith j vote. Mayor George Lunn of Schen: eetady appears to have been elected 1 Lieutenant Governor. The other State nominees had nothing like the plur alities given Smith but appeared to be safe. In Massachusetts the early returns indicated that Henry Cabot Lodge had beeh defeated for reelection By Col. William A. Maston, Democrat. And that' Governor Cox, Ttepublican, had b'een defeated by former Mayor j Fitzgerald for the Governorship. One of the i*ost significant fea- tures of the Senatorial contest was the apathy of the Republican voters, not only in\ Massachusetts, but in 'every New England State, where the Democratic vote increased, while that of the Republicans d.vliu.-d from IS to 10 percent. In New Jersey Senator Freling- : huysen seems to have been defeaud by Governor Edwards and Judge Sister, Democrat, elected over Run- yon for the Governmship. In Connecticut Senator McLean Rcpub'h-an was reelecte i by a great- ly reduced majority over Former Assistant Attorney General Spellacy, bemocrat. Lieut. Governor Tcmple- tbn also hud a clear lead over May- or Fitzgerald, h's Demoera'.ie o;i i ptlVienl for the Governorship. In Pennsylvania GitT.ird Pinchot is i elected Governor over John E. Mc- Pnrfan, Demo,' at by a substantial bul g.eatly leuueed p'urality. Sena- ,(i:s Pepper and Reed, Republicans, received , larger majorities than Mr. * Pinchot. • ! In Rhode Island Senator Gerry, Democrat, has probably beaten for- mer Governor Beekman for the Sen- ate by a small majority. < • »• ' j- i ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY. j Smith showed much strength in industrial communities • through St. Lawrence and of course ran strong- ly in Ogdensburg. Smith showed strength, in Norfolk, Massena, Pyrites and Piercefield beside the usual Dem- ocratic vote in Brasher and a part L of- Stockholm. He carried Brasher 371 to 229. ... The Republican candidates in the county received pluralities around a thousand or more less than the head of the ticket. Congressman B. H. Sn'ell was returned\ from the thirty- first district comprising St. Law- rence, Franklin, Clinton, and Essex. W. • T. Thayer' of Chateaugay goes- back to represent, the St. Lawrence- Franklin district in the state senate. William A. Laidlaw of Hammond and Walter L. Pratt of Massena were chosen member of assembly from the first and second districts of the county. James C. Dolan was reelected county judge and William j H. Schwartz of Cotton Coroner. Charles I . Olmstead, Democratic can- didate against Pratt and Dr. W. J. Baldwin, Democratic candidate for Coroner against Dr. Schwartz re- ceived a nice conqrfinientary vote in Potsdam, both running ahead of their ticket. Some of the vote by districts in the county follows: BUY SEIZED DIAMONDS A quanity of diamonds, seized by customs officers a t Rouses Point ear- ly last summer, for non-payment of duty when they were brought across the„line from Canada, were sold at auction by Deputy Marshall Geo.

FALSE ALARM LAST NIGHT. The firemen answered a false alarm from box 45 a t Pleasant and Leroy streets about 10:15 last night, presumably a part of the election celebration, 23 HEAD CATTLE IN FIREXON TH E WILL CAPELL FARM, NEAR PARISHVILLE MONDAY. The battle barns on the farm be- tween the village of Parishville and the Potsdam-Hopkinton road, known as the Will Capell farm and recent- ly purchased by a man named Al- guire were completely destroyed by fire of unknown origin shortly after 6 Monday night. Twenty-three head of cattle and two calves perished in the barn. The farmhouse and horse barn on the farm were saved. The fire was discovered by Alguiro just after he had come in from POTSDAM FACES SEME PROBLEM AND BOTH COME FROM ST. REGIS FALLS SECTION THE STATE ANNOUNCES IT FORCE THE ISSUE. WILL Waldo Sochia, a veteran St. Regis •Falls guide, had a. peculiar exper- ience this meek. 'He. was deer hunt- ing in the vicinity of Stacy Bluff when he was much surprised t o find his right oil way disputed by a hu.je black bear. Mr. Sochia dispatched the bear with a shot and after the animal had ceased to struggle, went up to examine his prize. The bear was a remarkably large specimen, f weighing 342 pounds as was later ascertained, but i t was not his sue that attracted Mr. Soehia's \attention but rather the condition of one of his front feet. From this foot three of the toes and a portion of * the flesh were missing and Sochia im- mediatelly recalled that five years The village of Potsdam will short- ly be faced with a renewal of its sewage disposal problem. At a meet- j ago, while hunting in the same see- ing days of that industry, revived its operations, and started ou t afresh after a period of months during which some members of the gang! have.been in enforced retirement? The story of O. J. LaPlante of 138 West Main street, Watertown, of his experience between Potsdam and DeKalk in the early hours of Mon- day morning indicates that such may be the case. Mr. LaPlante with his wife, and his mother, Mrs. F. O. LaPlant, and his sister-in r law, Mrs. Millard LaPlante, - of Malone, were return- ing to Watertown from Malone, llrs. F. O LaPlante, mother of'the driver, had recently returned to Mi- lone from 'Montreal, where she had been ill. Driving the car quite rapidly re- sulted in three bearings being burnt out, and Mr. LaPlante stopped in Potsdam t o have the ca r repaired The three women remained a t the garage while he went t o a restaur- ant to purchase some sandwiches. The women remembered three men hanging about the garage, who had a brown sport car jfrith vass top. { ' '}\\ It was after 1 o'clock Monday morning before they were able to leave this vilage. They started out and several milesthey noticed the other car following them. (Mr. La- Plante had a sort of a presentiment, and decided t o keep ahead of the other car. When the other car speeded up, He was knocked to the ground, fender struck the back of his fracturing his skull. ATTEMPTS TO UP E DYNAMITE IN STOVE ST.

The blaze, seemed to be all over at once as though caused by an explosion. A neighbor who saw the fire break out stated that the flames appeared, to leap up suddenly thirty feet in the air. Alguire had placed a little damp hay in the mow a day or two pre- viously, which, possibly may have caused spontaneous combustion.' So rapidly did the fire spread that it was impossible to enter the build-, ings and, get out the stock. The fire was highly spectacular and plainly seen from this village. Some insur-, anee was carried on the property, i DEMOCRATS HAVE BONFIRE AND SPEECH MARK AL'S VICTORY LAST NIGHT. Potsdam Democrats staged an im- promptu celebration last evening as soon as the extent of the Smith victory became known, which was quite early in the evening. A big bonfire was kindled a t Market and Elm streets which was kept blazing until a late hour. The crowd, as- sembling in front of the store of Sullivan and Fobes, insisted on a speech from Democratic State Com mitteeman Jerry M. The matter was brought out by- John N. Carlisle, representing the Northc-;} New York Utilities, one of the big water interests which are inteiested in development on the Racket. Carlisle placed Dr. Brown on the stand to testify a s to alleged low water conditions and how they effected Potsdam. He theji switched his line of questioning unexpectedly tu seivagc disposal and brought out that the sewage of the village'went into the Racket untreated, about five miles above Norwood. State officials present expressed surprise, confess ing that they were not familiar with the situation. They- announced that they would immediately biing tti* matter to an issue. Just what Car- lisle's object was in bringing up this matter of sewage at a power meel- ' ing is not apparent. | It is not believed here that the state can force this village to stop; placing sewage in the Racket river. ' The matter has been up before. A few years a\go the state ordered tlu vi'lage to prepare plans for a -^ew-! age disposal, plant and submit ' the J plans to them. This was done. Such! a plant, now, it is believed, .would cost about $30,000. which would be' raised by taxation on property with in the corporation. The state has the power to re- fuse permission for sewer extensions and this it has done in Potsdam for some years, th e result is that there are no sewage facilities in a number of sections o.i the village, notably that on the west side. I; is argued that communities through- out the state are using rivers as outlets for their sewers and that the state could make- no exception enough to get this week and it i- regarded as a remarkable coincid-1 ence that the same hunter who al- j most captured this bear five years j ago should eventually bring him in. J Canton, he looked back, and the other car was right behind him. He kept on a t a fast clip, but the other _ car attempted to catch up, ond j pass him.

An impromptu parade was formed and the marchers dropped in inform- ally a t the Potsdam Club in the course of it.
