lieutenant governor. Senator Bel
dleman has a total of 14,014 votes
in the city and county. carrying al
most every district, to 4,T74O Tor
Logue. his Democratic opponent,
Bonniwell got only 5,O0S TO 1882
for Sproul. The big complimentary
vote cast for Senator Beidleman was
a tribute on the part of his neigh
bors and a rebuke to the McCormick
opposition. which did everything
possible to defeat him. and it is in
strong contrast TO the pitiful show
ing of Mccormick himself when lie
ran for governor and lost every dis
trict in the county except his own.
The city and county both gave ma
~jorities for Kephart and Simpson
for the supreme court and Porter for
recollection to the superior court.
In the city legislative district AL
bert Millar, u weh-known railroad
man, and David 1. Miller, prominent
physician. were elected by decisive
votes over y. Ramsey $. Black, alse a
/ railroad man. who was running for
collection. and DIR. G. Willis Hart
man, Democrats. A hot fight was
waged against the Republicans who
had not declared for national pro-
hibition. but the strength of the or
ganization, the unpopularity of the
| Mccormick support. the number of
straight tickets cast and their own
personal popularity carried the Re-
publicans through by majorities that
leave no room to debate the result.
Both men are generally well quail
fed for the House.
The collection of Ira \. Ulsh, OF
| Millersburg, and David ]. Bechtold,
of Steelton. TO the Legislature o
the county district was expected, de-
spite an effort to defeat them on
1.-THE prohibition question. Neither
has declared his intentions, but both
are expected to vote dry.
The road loan was carried along
10 victory in the county as n whole
because of the majority rolled up in
the city, which overtopped the oppo-
sition in the rural districts. The
total majority was S25.
In the county Ira Ulsh. of Millers-
burg. and David J. Bechtold. of
! Steelton, the present Republican
members, were reelected by equal
Ia decisive votes. Fifty-one out of
II districts give Bechtold 5.109 and
| Ulsh 4,S9S: while Bottomley. Demo-
crat. got 1894 and Mccoy. Demo-
crat, got 2,5S2, including their pro-
bibition vote. I
Senator Beidleman in 81 of Il
districts outside the city has 5,6O6
votes and Logue 2,017, while Sproul
in the same number of districts has
5,457 to Bonniwells 2.146~
Kephart and Simpson carried the
county for Supreme Court, while
Porter gets n majority for re-elec-
ton to the Superior Court. The
road logA has 4,161 votes in its IA
vor an $500 against in 50 out of
SO Districts in the city, and l,222
a majority of 455 so far in the
county.
The Road Loan Neglected
The road loan was neglected by
! thousands of voters in both city and
county, Just as il was all over the
state. In Harrisburg 4,2SS votes
were cast for it and 1927 against,
while in the county outside the city
2,527 ballots were cast in favor and
2,76l against, the totals being $3.50
for and SAC against.
Representative Bechtold led the
field in the county for the Legisla-
ture with a total of 6,201 votes, with
Ira Ulsh a close second for re-elec-
ton, having 1888 votes. Bottomley
polled 2.617 votes on the Democratic
ticket and 3S1 on the Prohibition,
while Mccoy on the Democratic tic
ket had 2,509 on the Democratic side
and S92 as u Prohibitionist. Straight
tickets all over the county and the
good records made by the two Re
publican candidates helped wonder
fully in the results.
In Harrisburg Millar and Miller
simply ran AVA with their oppon-
ents. Miller having 6,434 and Millar
6.S45. Black, for reelection on the
Democratic ticket, had 1852 and In
addition polled 1872 Prohibition
votes, while DIR. Hartman had 1862
as a Democrat and 412 as a Pro-
hibitionist.
For Governor
The big runs of Senators Sproul
and Beidleman surprised nobody.
Sproul had 7,136 in the city, 6,4O6
in the county and a grand total OF
t1S.542. while Bonniwell got but 2
7S5 Democratic votes in the city
and 1884 in the county, a total oil
1899. On the Fair Play ticket Bon
niwell received a total or lUs votes
80 in the city and SO in the county,
showing the weakness of the enor
to take Republican votes from Sproul
on the liquor issue.
Senator Beidleman ran ahead OF
every other candidate in city and
county. with the really remarkable
/ total vote of 14,O14, Logue, his
Democratic opponent being a poor
second with only 4,74O. Senate
Beidleman, carried practically every
district as he did at the primaries,
his vote in the city being f,4sS ana
in the county 6.521, whereas Logue
got only 1859 in Harrisburg and p
17S in the county.
