DEFEATS QUAKER CITY PARTY
Reyburn Elected Mayor of Phila.
deIphia by Big Majority.
Leaders, Who Had Been Driven Our
by the Reforlners, Are Re-
stored to Power.


Philadelphia, Pa.-John E, Rey>
burn, member of Congress from
Pennsylvania, was elected Mayor of
Philadelphia by a majority that con-
sentative estimates place at 10000
over William Potter, candidate of the
City Party. In Potter's defeat, the
City Party, which, after it's victory
over the organization in the gas lease
fight of 1905, has gradually been on
the sliding path, goes down to defeat
defeat from which even its friends
scarcely hope it can recover.
The election of Reyburn means
that the reform forces have been
routed and that McNichol, Dave Lane,
Dave Martin and all the other leaders
that the popular demonstration of
1905 swept temporarily off their feet
are dominating factors in the polit-
ical situation.
Hugh Black, regular nominee for
Receiver of Taxes, was elected by
only few hundred votes less than
his running mate. His opponent on
the City Party ticket was Franklin
Spencer Edmonds, who twice since
1905 has served as chairman OF the
City Committee. Edmonds was at
one time professor in the Boys
High School and feature of his
campaign was the lining up of his
former pupils in his behalf
In every ward in the city the de-
cadence of the City Party was notice
able. In November last, when there
was a hot fight for the District Attor-
neyship, the organization candidate
had majority of $4,000. In City
Party strongholds the figures showed
a great decrease. The Twenty-second
Ward, of which Potter is a resident
and which has always given big ma
Jorities to the reform cause, returned
a majority of only 2100 for the City
Party Similar conditions prevailed
elsewhere.
The talk of a serious break be-
tween leaders McNichol and Lane, on
account of the latter's prediction
for United States Senator Penrose's
influence, has been repudiated by the
results. So far as the control of City
Councils is concerned, the organiza-
ton has safe majority. The lead
ers are jubilant, and declare that
with control thus assured they will
push city improvements that will in
clude completion of filter plants and
the parkway.

call. This command not to counte-
nance any attention from the young
men of Amherst is because of the
fact that Amherst College has been
closed on account of scarlet fever
and one death.
