!. Denuty Coroner. has won the majority

.scond Ward. II Is Senator Ware =
s,sr however. that W. w. Mintzer. n
iisutenant Of Tom Cunningham. who
now represents the ward In the City
Committep. should not be disturbed BY
Sellers. .....-.. -
In other words. Senator Ware desires
n show his friendship for Cunningham
and. Of course. tried to maintain the
Z Ware. Cunningham alliance. which In
the long run may be seriously affected
by Pinchot's election.
Pincl,ot's Plurality Now 44eO
The latest revised count If the State
vote for Governor. with 800 districts
missing out Of 7034. gives Pinchot
4S0, 0,Oa5 votes and Alter 4s4.605.
This makes pinchot's plurality 1890.
and there IL no doubt that the returns
from the missing districts will make tho
margin much greater. 4 Pinchot plu-
ralty Of at least $1,000 is expected.
pinchot now feels that the critical
stages in the campaign for election as
Governor have been passed and that the
thing TO do Is to begin preparations for
A successful administration Of affairs at
fhs State Capitol. Shortly 1t is cx-
pected he will appoint commission Of
public. spirited men and women to make
a thorough, investigation Of State
ronyenes next January the new Gov.
srnor will know the financial condition
o. the. Commonwealth and can make
recommendations accordingly.
The State Committee will meet for
fnllnSe.inD kn al II
inc committeeman and women in the
urinary. some time during the sum-
iner. There IL a probability that Sen.
ator u. Edward Long. who managed the
Pinchot primary campaign. may be- the
pinchot selection for chairman Of the
State Committee to succeed Senator
Grow.
Baker Included In Harmony Plan
Baker. who was one Of the chief SUM-
portcrs of Attorney General Alter. may
ie indorscd by the Pinchot men for re.
election as secretary as part Of the
move to effect harmony.
Mrs. Warburton. whose ringing call
to the women Of the State In behalf
Of Pinchot carly in the primary cam.
paign did so much for the Forester. will
b. c.elertcd vice chairman Of the State
Committee and the rules changed so that
she may preside when occasion arises.
As It is now. a woman cannot he elect
ed chairman Of the state Committee.
The State Committee will also elect
anational committeeman to succeed the
late Senator PcnrOsp. Governor SprouI
was ambitious for this honor. as also
was Congressman Ware. but since the
defeat Of Alter their candidates. assume
another color.
In passing on matters arising in the
reorganization Of the State Committee
Mrs. Pinchot will have a vote, as she !
was elected MS member Of the com.
mittec from Pike County in last Tues.
days election.
Just as Pinchot will have no trouble !
about securing favorable reOrga mia.
tion Of the State Committee. it is like. |
wise expected that he will be able TO !
win much 20 operation from the next
legislature.
Generally speaking. the bosses won
many nomination for the Legislature in
Philadelphia and Allegheny County, but !
throughout the State many independents !
were nominated.
Alter Carried Only Six Cpunties
Alter. according to the unofficial re.
turns. carried only six Of the sixty
seven counties in the State; in adji. ,
tion to Philadelphia and Allegheny. the
latter his home county. they were
Dauphin. in which Harrisburg is To-
Gated: Fayctte. Green and Elk.
Women played a big part in the re.
suit. Hundreds of them were in the
thick of the campaign in all sections
Of the State in the interest of Pinchot.
United States Senator Pepper had n
walkover IN the only other contest in
the Republican Party. defeating Con-
for the nomination for the unexpired
term Of the late Senator Pnrose by a
pig majority. Unofficial returns from
6236 districts out Of 1884 gave Pepper
majority Of more than 211 900.
-Four OF the thirty Republican mem.
GERS OF the Pennsylvania congressional
delesation apparently were defeated.
Latest Unofficial figures show that Rep
rtsentatives Evan J. Jones. BENJAMIN
n. Focht. Charles II. Conncll and An
derson IL Walters were beaten.
several women were nominated for
the state Legislature. to be voted for
next November. both by the Republican
ana Democratic parties. Two women

Representatives in Congrsss.
Ware Forces In Haze
., The Pinchot victory still has the
Nere forces in Philadelphia in a haze.
virtually their whole legislative ticket
was nominated, hut with a man like
ir,iinchot in the Governors Office il is
likely that the whole PHILADELPHIA dele.
CATION cannot be used to block his pro.

Probably the chief effect, so far as
tne wares are concerned. will be the
ehect of Pinchot's election as Gov
ernor on the mayoralty contest next
year: The Wares had been figuring on
an Organization victory. won largely
oS the help Of the Ware machine. This
was 10 be first move toward get
Jug complete control of the city ad.
mlnlsiration after Mayor Moore went
out Of Office.
But the Pinchot tidal wave which
swept vigorously through Philadelphia
nov now opens up the prospect of anything
