Your CORE ,pondent forwarded you per tee graph.
The ticket gives the highest satisfaction taken as
vhole; but in respect to the counties o. Lancaster
and Lebanon, which constitute a Senatorial dis

a your gentleman Of fEe talents, and who, for two
years past has represented that county in the lower

t,ict Is entitled to two Senator's only Under the

The county OF Lebanon, with population o. 26,Oo0,
was given an equal represent alton IN the state Sc
nate with Lancaster county, with her Dpu alton of
100000. AT the Presidential election in 1913, tue
wtlg vote OF the county OF Lancaster exceeded the
democratic vote Of Lancaster and lie banon coun-
ties (shch constitute the Senatorial district, and
the whig vote Of Lebanon besides-a fact which
plainly shows that the election Of State Senator's
