Ware REGULARITY"
PUTS HIM I'm LINE''
FOR MAYORALTY
Only ZOO Voters Carried
the knife" for Penrose to
the Polls in a Total of 55,-
600 in Leaders Bailiwick.

The "kniing'' OF Penrose in the Ware
wards amounted to about 22cO votes out
of total OF approximately 5000 votes
polled.
The total vote for Brumbaugh for Gov
ernor exceeded the Penrose senatorial
muster of ballots by 1471 in the Ware
wards south OF Market street between the
rivers That excess of the Brumbaugh
vote is increased to 2207 by the 7S6 ballots
by which Brumbaugh ran ahead of PEN
rose in the 10th Ward, west of the Schuyl-
XII River In the southern section Of West
Philadelphia
The lead of the Brumbaugh vote was
established In spite of the fact that
Doctor Brumbaughs opponent, Vance
Mccormick, was the regular Democratic
nominee with the Endorsement of the
Washington party, while the Penrose op-
position was distributed between two
candidates, Palmer of the Democrats,
and Pinchot. of the Washington party.
Politicians regard the comparativel
small cut Of Penrose in the Ware wards
as indicating that the orders of the Wares
were strictly for regularity" in spite
Of the published exposure of their alleged
betrayal by Penrose in his eagerness to
shatter William S. Vare's aspirations for
the Mayoralty in the last municipal cam
paign.
PUTS WARE TN LINE" FOR MAYOR.
The meek submission of the Wares to
the Penrose candidacy, even after VIII
liam S. Ware, on a point of personal
privilege, made speech in Congress
branding Penrose a liar" unless action
was taken by the Senator to refute the
published charges that Ware debauched
former Mayor Reyburn, is taken as an
indication that Brother VIII" will again
be candidate for Mayor with sanction
OF the Penrose-McNichol faction of the
Organization.
The cutting Of Penrose is regarded as
the personal action of voters loyal to
mitting TO orders for regularity"
While the knife for Penrose was nm
sheathed more frequently In the 4Oth
Ward than in any other section OF the
Wares bailiwick the home ward of State
Senator Edwin H. Ware, the s9th, ran
close second. The Brumbaugh vote in
T. II. Wares ward exceeded the Penrose
vote by 5S3.

by Hugh Black, now reduced to the po-
htical ranks by the Organization, knitted
Penrose to the extent of s4s votes
Another ward in which the assassina-
tion OF Penrose was attempted by desul-
tory ballot attacks was Congressman
William S. Vares own, the 26th. The
