jority, ~Taylor Wins ino Centre for
Congress,
The ** dry’ forces in Centre county
are jubilant over the result of Tues-
day’s primary election, which resulted
in Ives L. Harvey, of Bellefonte, win-
ning over Harry B. Ecott, of Philipe-
burg, for the Republican pomination
for the General Assembly. The fight
was bitterly fought, and while all re-
turns have not yet come ip, Beotl’s
leaders concede Harvey's victory by a
small msjority=—possibly fifty votes.
The few remaining precincts to be
heard may reasonably be counted on
to show Harvey m+ jorities.
In Philipsburg, State College,
and Clarence, Bcott won over Harvey,
while practically in every other sec-
tion of the county Harvey was the
favorite. Snow Shoe, conceded to
Beott, turned in a mejority for Har-
vey.
TAYLOR WINS IN CENTRE COUNTY.
Aa the Reporter goes to press (Wed-
nesday, 2:00 p. m.) the indications are
that Hugh B. Taylor will carry Centre
county for Congress on the Democratic
ticket by about fifty mejority, The
rest of the district has not been heard
from.
Joseph Guffey carried Centre county
on the Democratic ticket for Governor
by a fair msjority.
William C. Bproul was the Republi-
cans choice as the gubernatorial eandi-
date by a handsome ma jority,
John Noll is the Democratic candi-
date for General Assembly.
William I. Bwope, of Clearfield, won
in Centre county on the Republican
ticket for Congress.
The Vote in the Borough,
Only about fifty per cent of the vote
was polled at the primaries in Centre
Hall borough. As elsewhere in the
county the greatest interest centered
on the candidates for the General Ae
sembly. Ives L. Harvey carried the
borough on the republican ticket by
two votes over Beott, while eighteen
democrats wrote his nsme in the
blank space on the democratic ballot,
The vote in the borough is given be-
low, Only where there was a contest
