We're Numerous in Penn
sylvania Elections.
JENKINSON ALOSER
Millionaire Candidate for Mayor of
Pittsburg was Beaten-- --Repub-
Iicans Won in Allegheny.

Pittsburg, Feb. 21.-After one of the
most bitterly fought municipal cam
paigns in which the greatest vote ever
cast in this city was polled George w.
Guthrie, mayoralty candidate of the
Citizens party, the democratic party.
and the Civic league, defeated his op-
ponent, Alexander M. Jenkinson, a mil
lionaire manufacturer, by ma
jority of about 5000. In 1903 Mayor
Hays, the present republican incum-
bent, received majority of 1871.
Since that time three new wards have
been added to the city.
The campaign throughout has been
one of vituperation and recrimination
and charges of crookedness emanat-
ed from both sides almost hourly.
Wholesale arrests we're made during
the last days of the campaign, for re-
peating and colonizing, lodging houses
were raided and men carrying illegal
tax receipts were hustled to the police
stations. The day was characterized
with many fights at polling places and
in two districts the election boards
were hauled into court, charged with
refusing to allow negroes to vote.
George B. Logan, the candidate for
mayor of the good government party
in Allegheny, was defeated by his op-
ponent and the present incumbent,
Charles f. Kirschler, republican.
Kirschler's majority is estimated at
1000. The feature of the campaign in
Allegheny was the part taken in it by
the women. Throughout the day they
held meetings of prayer for the cleo
ton of Logan and carried sandwiches
and coffee to the workers at the polls,
while brass bands played patriotic airs
in the neighborhood of the polling
places.
Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-Municipal
elections were held Tuesday through
out Pennsylvania. Ideal weather pre-
vailed and heavy vote was cast in
many localities.
Philadelphia elected two magis-
trates, II select and IA common coun-
cilmen, IL school directors in each of
the 43 wards, constables and division
election officers. Outside of several
small disturbances in wards where
there were spirited contests, there was
very little disorder reported. There
were, however quite a number of ar
rests for illegal voting. Little interest
was displayed in the contest for mag
istrates, as the majority and minority
party were each entitled to one mag
istrate and each party named only one
candidate.
A feature of the election was the
candidacy of so women in various
wards for district school director.
Nearly all the women were on the re-
form tickets, and large percentage
of them were elected.

Superintendent Tobey Resigns.

Toledo, Feb. 20.-Dr. H. A. Tobey,
superintendent of the Toledo state
hospital for the insane, resigned Mon
day. DR.. George r. Love was immedi-
ately appointed in his place by the
trustees. DR.. Love was formerly the
assistant superintendent, but left
about Is months ago. The resigna-
ton of DR.. Tobey follows sensational
charge made by Senator Lamb, of Lu-
cas- county, who charged Tobey with
drunkenness and neglect of duty. DIR.
Tobey in his resignation denies every
charge that was made by Lamb.
