WARWICK K-PATTISON FIGHT
Election in the Quaker City Today
Will BE Most Exciting.
THE RESULT IS UNCERTAIN
Leaders of Various Factions VIII BE
Abroad AT Early Dawn Prepared TO
Carve Regardless Of Party
Affiliations.
By the United Press,

Philadelphia, Feb. 1S-Local cleo
tions will be held in every township Of
all the counties in Pennsylvania tomor-
row and in every city and borough
Mayors, burgesses, councilmen, school
directors, election board officers and
other officials are to be elected Here
in this city an interest that has not
been equalled for years has been
aroused by the mayoralty canvass
made by Charles J.. Warwick, the Re-
publican candidate, and Ex-Governor
Robert f. Pattison, the Democratic
standard bearer. The contest has been
particularly fierce and waged with a
vindictiVeness with which no political
battle in this city has been fought for
long time.
Under usual conditions Mr.. Warwick
would probably be swept into She
mayoralty chair upon the crest of the
usual enormous Republican majority
given his party in Philadelphia, but
| local and factional fights in the party
ranks have so complicated the situa-
tion that tonight there is a reasonable
doubt Of the certainty of his election.
The normal Republican majority in
! Philadelphia on local issues is from 2l,-
600 to $4,000, and Mr. Warkick has been
| four times elected city solicitor with an
increased majority each time so that
| he brings to the polls with him the
prestige Of an unbeaten candidate. The
factional fight in the Republican party
was begun when State Senator PEN
rose did not receive the nomination for
mayor, which he claims had been prom
ised him. The followers of both these
men are believed to be contemplating
vengeance and ii said that they will
knife" the Republican candidate at
the polls tomorrow
MIR. Warwick's Associate.
Associated with Mr.. Warwick upon
the ticket is William ]. Roney. who is
the nominee for receiver of taxes.
, Upon the Democratic ticket opposed to
Mr. Roney is Colonel Sylvester Bonaf-
fon, jr., an independent Republican.
| The receivership of taxes fight has been
somewhat lost in the great prominence
given to the mayoralty battle. Mr..
Roney is a brother-n-law of David
Martin, the Republican leader of the
city of Philadelphia, and as such will
probably be freely knitted by the fol-
lowers of Penrose, as Mr.. Martin is
charged with being the man to break
faith with these candidates.
Mr.. Pattison has the splendid record
of an unbeaten candidate. lie has
twice carried the city of Philadelphia
for controller, and twice carried the
great Republican state of Pennsylva.
mia for governor.
In addition to the two heads of the
tickets, councilmen and nineteen police
magistrates will be elected tomorrow
A conservative estimate of the situa-
tion tonight makes It reasonably doubt.
ful which party will elect the heads OF
the ticket tomorrow.
