By April, 1976, Kosciusko County had 28,539 registered voters. Andrew Jackson, seventh president from 1829-1837 and Martin Van Buren, eighth president from 1837-1841 were the two presidents during the platting of Leesburg and also Kosciusko County. On November 7, 1836, Leesburg’s schoolhouse was the voting place. Tippecanoe township had a long history of Whig-Republican tradition. Early settler's were fiercely • independent and held fast to the idea that "least governed was best governed Until the end of World War 11, there was some truth in the father taking his children down to the post office to show them a real live Democrat. Postmasters were appointed by the President who was usually Democrat. In the fall election of iB6O, Abraham Lincoln and the New Republic Party won Tippecanoe Red Cross to Hold meeting The Kosciusko County Chapter of the American Red Cross will hold its 67th annual meeting at the Warsaw City Park Pavilion on Tuesday, Nov. 13.

Township by a 2-1 margin. In 1864, Lincoln won over McClellan 145-71; in 1868 Grant was winner over Seymour 145-72; in 1872 the Republicans gained 12 new voters when Grant won over Greely 157-51. Local candidates knew each voter and made every effort to gain his support. Almost every male over 21 voted and considered himself a citizen instead of just a resident. It is interesting to consider that voters who had a prudent attitude usually voted Democrat (the well-established party) while the adventuresome progressives voted Republican. Pupils in the one room rural schools were encouraged to think about the government and the candidates It was strongly suggested that a good citizen should vote for what "is best for the country ” rather than what is best for himself. In November. 1848, Zachery Taylor, candidate for the Whig Partv. was elected President of the United States over Lewis Cass of Michigan, the candidate on the Democratic ticket. An important issue then was the slavery question. Upon the election of Mr. Taylor by the Whigs, the South had begun to threaten to secede if California was admitted to the Union as a free state. The vote that year in Elkhart County was: Democrats 1,040. Whigs 756, and Free Soil Party 142. But that year the topic was more often “gold” in California than politics. The Presidential Campaign of 1884 was one of the more colorful and exciting ones in Goshen. Blaine and Logan as Republican candidates were running against Cleveland and Hendricks as the Democratic candidates. Each party had big torch light parades during the fall campaigns with

cycle diesel engines, including construction and principles of operation, valves, sleeves and bearings in detail. Fluid Power Fundamentals — This-Wednesday evening course will cover the fundamentals of fluid power including principles, functions, terminology and symbols of hydraulics and pneumatics, with emphasis on understanding basic hydraulic principles and equipment.

delegations from all surrounding cities bringing bands with them. At that time, each party had marching clubs with at least a partial uniform, consisting of cap and oilcloth cape who carried torches of different designs. The railroad men would join in the parades carrying red and green lanterns. There were also business mens clubs whose marching regalia was a gray plug hat, long duster and a cane. The foot marchers were followed by men and boys on horseback — as many as 100 or more. In 1888, the Republicans had a rally in Goshen that brought one of the biggest crowds in the town’s history. The crowd was estimated at 20,000. About 100 train cars brought folks over the Lake Shore and Big Four railroads. One feature that attracted a lot of attention was a hay "tedder, which was fixed up with red bandannas (the Democratic emblem that year). The tedder was in gear as it went through the streets and kicked the bandannas as it went. In those days, a parade brought big crowds because there were not so many other forms of entertainment as there are today. Fire alarm malfunctions An automatic fire alarm at pier 796 on th® north shore of Lake Wawasee, sent Syracuse Firemen to investigate for a possible fire. The alarm contacted the fire department at 12:48 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1. Arthur Chapman, Goshen, owner of the home, was contacted and met with firemen at his summer home. There was no fire and it was determined the automatic alarm had malfunctioned.
