PHILA ADELPHIA, May IS. -
Guarded by women and special de.
teetives, Pennsylvania polls wers
thrown open at a. m. today to
receive the verdict of the electorate
on beer and light wines and the
national Coolidge administration.
Calm midMay skies indicated
that perhaps 100000 votes-as
many as We're east in this state in
the last presidential election-would
be dropped into the ballot boxes as
Il result of the campaign in which
millions We're spent.
The women and detectives We're Sc
lected at the expense of George
Wharton Pepper, administration in
cumbent, William S. Ware, wet, and
Governor Clifford Pinchot, dryest
of the drys, to see that no more
votes are counted than cast, par
ticularly in Philadelphia, which
citizens here say has a disputed
reputation in that respect.
The three are meeting for the
Republican senatorial nomination
in what newspapers this morning
warned the voters was ''the great
est political battle in the history of
the keystone state" which has
seen many political battles during
and before Boies Penrose days.
Ware, in a spectacular final speech
by radio last night, promised the
voters that if they endorsed his beer
ticket the Republican party could
do nothing else but vote modifica-
ton of the Volstead act in 1923.
Pepper does not agree with him,
contending that the issue is support
of Coolidge, while Pinehot says
Pepper is lodging the beer issue
while he himself is the only dry in
the race.
