EYRE IN HOTTEST FIGHT

Republicans and Democrats Sanguine
of Victory in Chester County
WEST CHESTCn, To., Nov. 7. The vote
being polled In Chester County bids fair
to De tne largest lor many years and the
battle Is a -warm one on every line. Demo
crats are claiming the county for Wilson
and he Is certain to receive a large vote,
although the Republicans are sanguine of
victory.
For Congress the present representative,
Thomas a. Butler, Is having a hard fight
against Cassatt, tho Democratic nominee,
and every candidate for the State House
is having a hard battle,
The fight of T. Larry Eyre for the State
Senate Is creating the greatest Interest,
and he Is having the brittle of his political
life. The Indications aro that the vote
on a loan here for school purposes will be
against the same.
