ELECTION
CROOKED
By WILLIAM s. NEAL

A 'two.edged sword was being
forged today by the militant
opponents Of the claim of Viii
liam S. Ware, of Pennsylvania,
to a seat in the United States
Senate.
Ware not only will face a
bitter attack upon the huge
expenditures for him in the
primary, but it will be charged
that he was fraudulently
elected in Tuesdays balloting,
it was indicated today.
Norris Discloses Plan

queror of George Wharton Pepper

George w. Norris. Nebraska in
surgent Republican.
Although Ware came through
the election with big majority,
Norris declared he was repudiated
outside of Philadelphia and tri-
umphed there through nanipula-
ton of the ballots.
CrOOkedness Is Seen
In rs Philadelphia precincts
which gave Ware 1900 votes last

votes, Norris pointed out.
"These," he said, ARE samples
