West Side Election Festivities Mark Republican Sweep
Crowds on the West Side cheered as returns came in from a Republican sweep. In St David's hall a crowd paid one cent to hear dispatches over a special wire while the Central Republican club hosted about 150 members with music, speeches, and a running lunch. Local stores advertised election coverage and residents like Alfred Godshall attended polls as joyous results rolled in. Arrests followed for tearing an American flag, with Neal Campbell held and a warrant out for Barney McAnulty. Remains of Annie Sweeney and a child of George Randall were buried locally, and Camp 178, Patriotic Order Sons of America, planned a funeral turnout.
