ABOUT 30 LEFT OUT Republican Leaders Jubilant Whil Democratic Leaders See Big Gains in Returns Republicans swept into all tow offices in Greentown Tuesday i the first purely partisan electio that: has been held here in man years, winning all five seats on the board of town trustees and the town clerk- treasurship. A total of Ga ballots were cast in the elec-tion, a fact that can hardly be be-lieved by any of the " old- timers" of the town who estimated before the election that a vote of " 400 would be an enormous turn- out." The result of the balloting was: For trustee, first ward: Floyd D. Miller, Rep., 363; Perl Sweeny, Dem., 236. Miller's majority, 127. For trustee, second ward: Harry Bagwell, Rep., 313; W. 0. Smith, Dein., 284. Bagwell's majority, 29. For trustee, third ward: Fay Lamb, Rep., 322; H. E. Mayfield, Dem., 277. Lamb's majority, 45. For trustee, fourth ward: Han-ley Golding, Rep., 355; T. J.

For clerk- treasurer: Lee Shoe-m* aker, Rep., 358; Homer Hun- singer, Dem., 243. Shoemaker's majority, 115. The town " buzzed" as it has not done for many months on elec-tion day for both party organiz-ations were " armed to the teeth" in an effort to get out the vote. The result obtained by the two organizations was not only a sur-prise, but virtually a shock to the most schooled politicians. In prev-ious purely town elections, the re-cord high vote has been 378. Pre- electon campaigning by both party organizations and general in-terest • in the few issues used in the campaign have been attributed to the record voting of Tuesday. In view of the fact that the 1930 cen-sus gives Greentown a population of only 1,021, it still is hardly con-ceivable that 620 ballots were cast here. Those best acquainted with the town who watched the polls carefully Tuesday, are of the opin-ion that somewhere between 20 and 40 eligibles did not vote. Whatever that number, it was vir-tually nothing compared to the large number that did vote and the town now figures itself a bit big-ger than it has since those 1930 census figures came out. This election, although a record one in size and a record one in party activity both on the day of the voting and before it, was pro-bably one of the most peaceful and really " good- natured" that has eV"'' • been staged here. True, report of some bitterness between individuals were made known, but party or-ganizations litterally " worked their head, off" and came out of the bat- ( Continued on last page) ! ackson Farm Bureau Will Meet on Tuesday The Jackson Township Farm Bureau will meet Tuesday night, , i( w. 12, at the Jackson school uilding.

At the same time the state board decided to continue its in-vestigation of the Kokomo civil city rate before handing down a decision on the appeal taken from this levy. Philip Zoercher, chairman of the state board, heard appeals on the city and Union township rates at Kokomo Oct. 31. At that time Un-ion township objectors based their appeal against the $ 1.56 levy on the ground that the trustee had a strong chance of receiving $ 4,000 in state school aid and argued that his budget should be reduced ac-cordingly. Palmer Dean, trustee of the township, replied that he had no assurance of any kind as to how much his township could expect from state aid and Mr. Zoercher Cctreed with him that that source of revenue was uncertain. Under the board's decision Wed- , esday to make no change in the Union levy, the rate for 1936 will • tand at $ 1.56, and the county au-ditOr's office will proceed to start casting taxes for the coming year. No work can be done on figuring ` axes of city residents until the state board rules on the city rate. The auditor received notice Wednesday from the state board that the recent additional appro-e riations made by the county coun- : ll including $ 6,500 for materials ( Continued on last page) William L.

He rallied from the first attack but a few hours later be-gan to slowly sink away and died about 11: 30 o'clock. Two singular incidents in the life and death of Mr. Golding are notable. He was born on the farm on which he died in a house only a few yards away from the loca-tion of the present home. His death occured on his sixty- seventh birth-day. Mr. Golding, although not a man ' ei p 0"., tav, , v a ._ ever interested in the affairs of the community and was a man of sound and conservative judgment who was called upon for council and advice by all who knew him. At one time he served a term of four years as deputy assessor of Liber-ty Township and followed that of-fice into the position of assessor for another period of four years. in this connection, and by his ever-friendly and kindly manner, he be-came known to virually everyone who lived in Liberty Township. To every person within his vast realm of acquaintanceship, he was known as " friend." Mr. Golding carried no lodge af-filiation. For many years he and Mrs. Golding were active members of a United Brethren church near their home. Later, with abandon- I went of that church, connection was formed with the M. E. church in Greentown where their two sons, Hanley and Cedric already had become affiliated. Mr. Golding's one love of his life was his summer home at Lake Chapman which he enjoyed with almost childish delight. His most delightful hours at his cottage, however, was when he was enter-tanning friends there whom he lov-ed to have enjoy the place as he did himself. Many of his more in-timate friends here have spent many delightful days there with him on fishing trips. Mr. Golding was the son of Dav-id and Suzanna Golding, early set-tlers of this township. His father died when Mr. Golding was but nine years of age. In March, 1889, he was united in marriage to Della Bradfield, the couple having been school sweethearts.
