The REFORM
MOVEMENT
TriumpS in Philadelphia BY a
Large Majority.

Philadelphia, November 7.-Philadel.
phia has en- swept by the reform
movement, the City party winning by a
surprisingly large plurality.
While returns from only six of the
forty two wards in this city had been
counted up to midnight, enough is
known of the result in the remaining
wards to Indicate the defeat of the Re-
publican local ticket by from 10000 to
$4,000 plurality
The victory of the City party carries
with it the election of VIM II. Berry,
the Democratic and reform candidate
for State Treasurer j. Lee Plummer,
the Republican candidate for that offic
was badly cut throughout the city and
State, and he has lost his own county,
which is usually Republican.
The result has every appearance of a
landslide for reform, not only in Phila-
delphia, but throughout the State.
City party Chairman Edmonds to-
night sent tho following telegram to
President Roosevelt:
"Phiiadelphis has risen to it's oppor.
tunity and stands redeemed. The prin
cipe of honesty v governmental eff
fectively espouse/ by you has won an
overwhelming Triumph. Our majority
III 000"
