newspaper and the other from the
Bonniwell personal organ.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
"William c. Sproul, Republican nom-
inee for Governor of Pennsylvania,
will be elected to-day without a
doubt, and every other candidate
with him on the state ticket, includ-
ing Senator Edward %. Beidleman,
of Dauphin county, for Lieutenant
Governor, and Representative James
T.. Woodward, of McKeesport, for
Secretary of the Internal Affairs,
and the four candidates for Con-
gress-at-Large will also receive a
plurality. Estimates vary as to the
size of the plurality of Senator
Sproul over Judge Eugene c. Bon
niwell, the Democratic candidate for
Governor. Senator William e. Grow,
chairman of the Republican State
Committee, says it will be at least
zoo, 1000"
The Philadelphia Record said:
Senator Penrose declared that SEN
ator Sproul and the entire Republi-
can ticket would sweep the state
with a majority of more than 200,-
900. Senator Edwin H. Ware added
that Philadelphia alone will con-
tribute 100000 of this majority and
the contractor boss Ven went so far
as to claim that the Democratic can
didate would not carry a single ward
in the city. Bonniwell leaders were
equally positive that the entire'D DEM
ocratic ticket will be returned a win
ner tonight. Reports from the west
ern part of the state, the coal re-
| gions and scattering sections, they
! declared, indicate that Judge Bonni-
we'll will sweep the state by at least
100000 majority"
The newspapers owned by Dem
ocratic National Chairman Vance c..
| Mccormick, which under ordinary
circumstances might be expected to
! have something of interest to say on
the statewide proposition are a
study. The Evening News prints a
silly story that United States Sena-
tor Penrose is said to have urged
Bonniwell support and the Harris
burg Patriot ignores the guberna-
torial election to-day entirely.
The Philadelphia Inquirer prints
the following from Chester: with
the election of Senator Sproul as
sured, the Republican leaders are
lCOlCGTHlllB IIlCIllSGlNtS Will lllG QuGS-
ton of his successor. There are
quite a number of aspirants for the
seat in the State Senate that Mr..
ISproul filled so creditably for the
last twenty years, among those
prominently mentioned being Rich
ard J. Baldwin, speaker of the House
during the last term of the State
Legislature; j. Lord Rigby, of
Media, a former Recorder of Deeds
of Delaware county; Wesley S.
Mcdowell, Mayor of Chester; Cap
tain Samuel d. Clyde, a former
member of the Assembly from the
Chester district; Josiah Smith,
former District Attorney of Della
ware county, and T. Wesley ALI
son, a Chester manufacturer"
The city of Chester is said to be
preparing not only to move for some
changes in the state laws relative to
/ health affairs, the naming of q
health commission, for instance. but
for some radical changes in the
third class city code relative to local
boards of health.
Tho Harrisburg Patriot in it's
belated and fervent appeals for sup
port for Supreme Court Justice Fox
to-day gives color to the persistent
reports that National Chairman
Vance c. Mccormick was n of the
men consulted by Governor Brum-
baugh, directly or indirectly, about
the appointment and also shows that
the national chairman is not for
Charles B. Lenahan
