Special to the Scranton Tribune.


PhilT delphia Oct. 30.
Ihe oVershadowing Importance OF Sc
curing big showing for protection in
Pennsylvania congressional delegation
which is to be elected next Tuesday has
not blinded Chairman Gilkeson to the
need of keeping 4 sharp eye on the state
legislative ticket. He is confident that
In this direction the returns of next
weeks battle at the polls will vindicate
his wise management of the closing
campaign.
Twenty-Five senator's are to be
elected. or the retiring senator's nine
are Republican and sixteen Democrats.
In the nine Republican districts
Thomas. Penrose and Grouse, of Phila-
delphia; Kaufman, of Lancaster; Critch-
field of Somerset, Bedford and Fulton;
Kennedy and Flynn, of Allegheny;
Shortt, of Warren and Nenango, are
certain of election. Becker, of the Sec
ond district Of Philadelphia, represents
a Democratic constituency. but it is in
the Third congressional district, and
the McAleer- Harrity fight makes his re-
election practically certain. OF the
seventeen districts now represented by
Democrats, three Beaver and Washing
ton, Crawford. and Susquehanna and
Wayne are Republican and will un-
doubtedly redeem themselves by the
election Of S. +. White, eX-State Chair
man w. II. Andrews and eX-Represen-
tative T.. Il, Hardenberg. In the Sus-
quehanna-Wa district the Populist
candidate for governor Altman, has
ordered his followers to drop their own
candidate and vote for Saunders, the
Democratic candidate. But 1t gave
Harrison 923 majority, Jackson l,l2l,
and Grow 1877 and Hardenberg is sure
of election.
