The only member of the Pennsyl'
vaniR congressional delegation from
this territory to suffer at the primaries
was Congressman William H. Graham
who was defeated by Stephen g. Por'

threw down the senatorial and legis-

Although corporations Of the thirtieth
congressional district are alleged to
have issued orders to it's employees to
oppose Black. reports show that the
plan failed in many places. as Blacks
vote was large In towns where large
manufacturing plants are located.

plants. Dalzell secured eleven major
ity. Returns from McKeesport,
Blacks home, and from many
boroughs, show that the Republican

defeated
Returns today show that Senator
George T. divers forces also won q
decisive victory over the William
