PHILADELPHIA, Feb Philadelphia
Is today voting for q mayor, receiver Of
taxes, II members OF select council, az
members Of common council and 12 police
magistrates The campaign, which pfac,
tically ended Saturday night, has been one
of the hottest that this city has seen for
many years. Charles #. Warwick, the
Republican candidate for mayor, has boon
assailed as the creature Of the famous com
bine or machine, which has dominated
the city government for several years, and
the charge has been made that IL he Is
elected the rule Of State Senator Charles
A. Porter and David Martin will continue
for four years more.
There Is some dissension in tho Repub-
liean ranks because of the turning down
Of Senator Boies Ponrose after he had been
slated for the nomination, many Of his
friends refusing to support Mr. Warwick
Many of the leaders of reform movements
in past years have openly advocated the
election Of Mr. Warwick opponent ex-
Governor Robert H. Pattison. and the
votes these gentlemen will iniluoneb, to-
gether with those Of the disaifected or Pen
rose element viii have the effect, it Is ex.
pccted, Of materially cutting down the
normal Republican majority Of 35, COO or
possibly of wiping it ont altogether
Ex-Governor Pattison has made Wig
orous campaign, and he promises in his
letter Of acceptance that il elected he will
give Philadelphia q nonpartisan, business
administration. His opponents however,
point to his turning Republicans out Of
Office to make room for Democrats when
he was city comptroller and governor and
claim that he will do the same thing il
