Pennsylvania's Metropolis Sees Prohibition
Party Vote Grow

PHILADELPHIA, PA, February s2.-(Special cor
respondence.) with $4,000 less votes in the
total cast in the election of Tuesday than were
cast in this city one year ago, the Prohibitionsts
have polled or, at least have had counted, 1893
more votes than a year ago and 627 more than in
the election of last November. The vote places
the Prohibition party the primary ballot in ten
out of the twenty-six legislative districts OF the
city.
The Prohibitionists are the only party who show
a gain in their party vote.
The county convention has been called to meet
on March and it is expected that every legsla-
tive district will then have suggested its candidates
for the April primaries.
The spirit and temper of the Prohibitionists of
Philadelphia are fine Opposition to deals and
entangling alliances grows daily City Chairman
lockwood is outspoken for the middle-of-the-road
policy and has the hearty support of 80 percent of
the Prohibitionists of the city. Next week the
work of organizing National Issue Clubs will be
begun in every ward of the city.

our candidates were elected, most of these being
nominated upon the Prohibition ticket only. Liver
more borough out of fourteen possible places
elected fourteen Prohbitionists on a straight Pro-
hibition ticket. Prohibitonists were also elected
at New Alexandria, Greensburg, Madison and
North Irwin, while in many other boroughs and
townships the showing made highly COM
mendable.
FRANKLIN, Pa, February 21-(Special CORE
spondence) 1.-The later returns from all over
Venango county extremely gratifying to the
Prohibtionists, showing large gains almost every
where. From township after township the news
comes of Prohibition candidates elected. Some of
the supposed Republican strongholds of the county
were carried by Prohbitonists. Combinations of
the Democrats and Republicans to defeat Prohbi
tionists were powerless and were completely over
whelmed by the Prohibition vote.
WILLIAMSBURG Pa, February 19-(Specal cor
respondence) Much to the regret of thousands
of the best citizens of Williamsport, yesterdays
election resulted in the defeat of Mr.. James Man
sci, the Prohibition candidate for mayor, and the
election of Chas. D. Wolfe, the Republican candi-
date Wolfe received 2,724 votes; Mansel 1856
votes. 1t is openly charged that Mansels defeat
was accomplished by resort to rascality and
fa1sehood that make the success of his opponent
disgrace.
