been regarded as Democratic
strongholds like Reading. Allen
| town, York and the like registered
and voted probably more Repub-
| licans than ever before, while in
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh new
registration records were estab-
lished. The vote in those cities is
expected to be shown by the official
| count to be unprecedented for pri-
| mary.
The showing made by the Demo-
Gratis in various cities will probably
| be seized upon as a reason for de-
mand for a new reorganization OF the
Democracy in Pennsylvania. 1t will
be recalled that the present ruling
clique of the State Democracy
seized control of the machine and
| incidentally won the presidential
convention delegation by a carefully
/ prepared and very noisy propaganda
against party management in 1910.
The decline of the Democratic vote
was then much lamented and made
cause for a change. History may
repeat itself or try to.
Independent Republicans smash
ed the Ware machine at the primary
election Tuesday not only by nomi-
dent Republican candidate, but also
by nominating a majority of the
candidates for the small council of
twenty-one members, the Public
Ledger says this morning.
Mr.. Moore was nominated by
an estimated majority of 1871 over
Judge John NJ. Patterson. the Ware
candidate.
MIR. Moore's majority, slight
though it is, was greeted by Inde-
pendent forces throughout the city
as a tremendous victory, a victory
which meant the end of cor tractor
domination and machine rule in
Philadelphia and the elimination of
the stigma placed upon the city in
the eyes of the nation.
1T will be interesting to watch
the course of the Wares in Phila-
delphia and also to read how vari-
Gus newspapers will regard the re-
suit in the Quaker City and it's effect
on State politics for next year. 1t
can scarcely be said with much
foundation except factional hopes,
that the results of Tuesday will in
jure Senator Boies Penrose. But
some one will say it, as usual.
Another object of interest will
be the speculation of independent
tickets. There is always an out
break of such talk after close fight
or bitter campaign, but judging
from votes this is not going to be a
good year.
Official counts start tomorrow
with judges sitting in a majority of
counties. as county commissioners
are candidates and in many a district
this computation will be necessary
to establish victory.
The more important judicial
contests in the State appear to have
resulted as follows:

&c. PO, George Henderson GO. c.;
