General dissatisfaction with features
| of the primary law, the uncertainty
about the nonpartisan sole nominee
clause, the delays in returns and the
| ease with which new parties may be
started is manifested all over the State
as the result of Tuesdays vote. The
Republicans seem to have come back"

where there was some insurgency
shown last Fall, while the Democratic
disorganization appears to be grow
ing worse since the primaries are over.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
With returns from half a dozen divi-
sions still missing, according to the
reports to police headquarters, Thomas
B. Smith polled 130.179 votes for
mayor on the Republican ticket. Ow-
tabulations of an unprecedentedly
large list of candidates, there were
many inaccuracies in the returns. and
when these corrections shall be made
and the vote for Mr.. Smith on the
Personal Liberty primary ballot shall
be added the total, 1t is predicted, will
be nearer 135, 900. The police reports,
revised yesterday, give Director of
Public Safety George d. Porter a total
vote on all ballots of $4,000. There
may be some additions to these figures
when the official count shall be made"
