suffered since the beginning OF the dis

Mayor Weaver's campaign for political
purity in Philadelphia
In Philadelphia itself the effect of
the revelations of the alleged political
robbery" Of the bank will be TO set
back the machine Republicans, who
have just begun to gather themselves
together after the terrific onslaughts
OF the reformers through the summer.
OF late the machine had begun to

the temporary ramparts machine meth
DDS had begun to rebuild.
The standard Of reform would then
take the brea stwOrks with rush. and
II is extremely doubtful IL the machine
element would recover from the set
back for years
Throughout the State the effect will
be no less marked. BoieS Penrose who
has held 10 the reins in some fashion
by battling FOR his position every hour
may be crippled and his grip on men

the revelation Of how the machine poll
