Schuylkill Co. Shows
Big Republican Gain

Pottsville, Pa, Feb. o. - A sweeping
Republican victory was scored in the
Third Schuylkill Legislative District
yesterday, when Lieutenant r. J.
Graeff, a lawyer of Tamaqua, was elect
ed to the Legislature by a margin of
1850 over John c. Breslin. the Demo-
cratic nominee. The election was for a
successor of b: j. Yost, Republican who
died before he could take the oath OF
office.
Breslin was the Democratic candidate
for the Legislature last November and
was defeated by $50 majority. The in
creased Republican vote is regarded as
evidence of a drift from the Democratic
nently mentioned as a candidate for
the vacancy on the Common Pleas bench
OF Schuylkill county, caused by the
death of Judge G.. n. Brumm, and the
result of the election is regarded as
strengthening his candidacy
