The Keystone Keyed Up.

Pennsylvania was only four days
after Illinois, and the outcome was
some more of the same. The bottom
fell out Of the political universe and
lost itself in the Milky way. Perfect
ly good machines that had never slip
ped a cog looked Ike an automobile
that had jumped from high preci-
pice. This happened in both parties
and regardless Of precedent or any
thing else. The colonel was also In
this foot race. though the houn' dawg
did not follow him. AS already ex-
planned, Pennsylvania has not a prefer
entail primary of the simon pure
brand Despite this slight defect the
old state showed very decided prefer
ences. In politics Pennsylvania usual
iy does things with an emphasis that
sounds like falling slyscraper. and
she went herself one better In this
primary. She surely was not bashful
about saying where she stood. She
did the same kind of things both to
Senator Penrose and Colonel Guftey
