In point of interest, the municipal cam
paigns of New York, Philadelphia and
San Francisco far exceed that OF the
state contests. IN each of these munich
pal contests the reform question is a dom
inant issue. Practically all Of the con-
tests-state and municipal-are on local
issues. with no national questions in
volved.

! interest is in Philadelphia, where the re-
form element Is endeavoring to break the
power of the local Republican organiza-

the William Penn party, have again
placed d. Clarence Gibboney, head OF the
Philadelphia Law and Order society, in
the field for district attorney, against
