Harrisburg, Nov. 7.-While the Re-
publicans carried the state of Penn
sylvania by handsome majority, the
feature of the election was the i'm
mense drop in the size of the usual
has been 10000, the result of Tues
days vote shows that William P.
Potter won by a margin of 1899 in
his fight for judge of the supreme
court. Frank G. Harris was elected
state treasurer and incidentally given
vote of greater confidence, with a
plurality of $1,000.
The vote was considerably reduced
over that of two years ago as to to-
tails, and shows peculiarities that will
be more apparent as the final figures
are corrected. The Fusion ticket ran
behind in counties where it would nat
urally be expected to show at its
best, and developed surprising
strength in some sections where it
was least looked for.
Philadelphia figured to not a small
extent in determining the verdict of
the polls. Potter came down to the
Philadelphia county line with only
about 1000 plurality, and had the
latter district polled Fusion victory
he would undoubtedly have gone down
to defeat.
The vote in nearly all the interior
counties has been remarkably light,
reaching fair proportions only where
there were uncertain contests over To-
cal Offices. These seem to have. en-
listed more interest than the state
ticket. It is apparent from the figures
| that in some sections a considerable
proportion of the Democratic vote was
given to the Republican state candi-
dates.
Allegheny county has given Harris
| $4,000 plurality and Potter $4,000.
Chester county, a Republican strong
hold, has been carried for Fusion,
and Montgomery has gone the same
way.
The total vote cast in the state was
$500 The total vote cast last year
was 1,173,210. Two years ago the total
vote was 790,501.
Pennsylvania on Tuesday voted on
three proposed amendments to the
constitution, which provide for per-
sonal registration and voting ma.
chimes. The propositions must, how
ever, be acted upon by the legislature,
which meets in 1908, before they can
be embodied in the constitution.
The Vote In Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-Notwithstand-
ing the intense interest, the election
throughout the city was conducted
generally in an orderly manner. There
were, however, numerous disputes at
polling places and in a number of in

broken heads, but no serious rows oc-
Cured anywhere. Both the regular
Republicans and the Fusionists charge
each other with wholesale fraud and
promise to make numerous arrests.
There were numerous arrests for VIC
lations of the election laws, but in
nearly every case the offender was
promptly bailed out by political
friends.
John Weaver, the Republican can
didate for district attorney, was elect
ed over P. Fred. Rothermel, Jr, the
Union party's nominee, the full re
turns from the Al wards giving the
