The unexpected result Of the cleo
ton In Philadelphia was keenly felt
by the Reform party. The principal
aght In the city was made for the Of
fee Of district attorney, and II was one
OF the bltterest In the political history
OF the county. The leaders Of the City
party, which had effected fusion with
the Democrats and Prohibitlonists on
the local ticket, felt certain that ID.
Clarence G.5boney, their candidate for
district attorney, would win. but the
figures show that Samuel F. Rotan, his
Republican opponent carried the city
by 12,124. The Republican candidates
for city treasurer and register Of wills
were also elected by about the same
plurality.
Returns from the thirty.seven con
gressional districts Of Pennsylvania In
dictate that the Democrats gained five
congressman. which will make their
delegation In the next house six in
stead Of one.
The next legislature will remain
heavily Republican, although the DEM

be larger.

Porto Rico Contest Results In VIC
tory For Unionist Party.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Nov. S.-The
Unionist party scored an Overwhelming g
victory at the polls here carrying all
the seven districts of the island.
The Republicans are left without rep
resentatlon in the next house OF dele
gates. In the last election the Union.
lists carried five districts and the Re
publicans two.
The Unionists won in a majority OF
the municipalities, the Republicans
barely saving San Juan. The Arecibo
district, where the Federation Of Labor
made concentrated effort with the
assistance of $1,000 contributed by the
American Federation of Labor, made a
surprisingly insignificant showing, the
vote cast amounting to practically
nothing.
The elections evoked much enthusi-
asm, but there were no disturbances,
and 1t was the most orderly election
since the American occupation. Gov
ernor Winthrop has been congratulated
by all the political parties for his i'm
partial enforcement of the election law
and his successful efforts to maintain
order. The insular police did their
work thoroughly and well.

from the following:
A general teachers meeting

study of psychology. A class
of thirteen Of the senior pupils
