Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-11-05

philadelphia will hold an important
.l,cton next Tuesday, but the only
,n.stous which will intrigue the public
,,rcy will be the contest between the
Voters League and the Democrats for
,hO six minority magistrates, the
,rmber of votes Judge Bonniwell will
,,f for Judge Of the Supreme Court
,ud The size of the Republican majority.
Senator Ware predicts the majority
will be between 100000 and quarter
q million. Such majority, it is con-
,.dpd on all sides, will be remarkable,
6r the reason that the campaign, So
..llad has been one of the dullest in
recent history.
The ballot. which will be little
larger than a newspaper sheet. will bear
,ho names of candidates of ten parties.
five county officers are to be elected,
s well as a number of Judges. seven
ben magistrates, school visitors and
Election officers.
At the bottom of the ballot voters
will be called on TO vote Yes" or
mo on the proposal to erect a
memorial hall in memory of the SOL
ders, sailors and marines. This pro-
posal has the Endorsement of the Amer
lean Legion and the Republican City
Committee.
Women Show Interest
Women, it would appear. have been
more concerned than the men. A food
Of requests for information has poured
IN on the Republican WOmcn's Com
mittee Of which Mrs. b. Dobson Alte-
mus is chairman. Likewise there has
been activity at the women's head
quarters in the rooms of the Ware City
Committee. where Mrs. A. X. Harmon
IL in charge. Mrs. Altcmus followers
will vote for Miss katherine X. Fos-
Ter for magistrate.
Voting Tuesday will be much simpler
than that in the primary. 1t will be
| possible for the clcctor. for example, to
complete the baIloting by two cross
marks, one in the party square, which
IL found in the left hand. or first
| column of the ballot. and which carries
a vote for every candidate under that
| party name, and the other on the pro-
! pOSal TO erect a Memorial Hall.
