Contest Over County Ticket the Bit
terest In History Of the City.

Contest Over County Ticket the Bit
terest In History Of the City.
Philadelphia, Nov. with the Re
publican leaders claiming victory in
every ward except the Twenty-second,
and the independent leaders claiming
10000 majority in the city, the polls
opened this morning at 7 o'clock for
the verdict of the voters.
Although the state campaign has
been centered on the election OF q
Judge to the supreme court. for which
the Democratic nominee has made o
thorough canvass, all forces in Phila-
delphia are centered on the election
Of district attorney.
The county ticket is as follows:
District Attorney.
Samuel P. Rotan, Republican. Pro
gressive and Workingmen's League.
D. Clarence Gibboney. William Penn
Party. Democrat City. Philadelphia
and Gibboney Stalwart.
Louis ]. Santamarie, Socialist.
Register Of Wills.
David Martin, Republican, Progress
sive and Workingmen's League.
Edwin o. Lewis, William Penn
Party. Democrat, City Philadelphia
and Gibboney Stalwart.
William II. Lowry, Prohibition.
John ]. Miller, Socialist.
City Treasurer.
Murrell Dobbins, Republican. Pro
gressive and Workingmen's League.
Thomas T. Nelson. Democrat.
John ]. Murphy. William Penn
Party. City. Philadelphia and Gibboney
Stalwart.
H. X. w. Patterson, Prohibition.
David c. Fairbanks, Socialist.
The campaign. which has been one
of the bitterest in the history OF the
city, with an exceptionally strong un'
dercurrent. is expected to reach its
climax in a bitter contest in every
ward OF the city No fighting ground
has been conceded by either side. The
independents have been active to keep
down the majorities OF the solid down
town and the Republican organization
will contest every inch OF the ground
in the normally independent wards.
In the final survey of the situation
the workers on both sides agreed that
the result will depend largely on the
temper of the people. On this depends
the extent TO which the police powers
may be used and to some degree IT
will depend also on the tempe. Of the
people to what extent money can be
used.
Money and the police club against
money and enthusiasm" is the situa.
ton as summed up by workers on both
sides. and 1t was made plain that
money will play a very large factor In
deciding the election.
