-'CHESTER COUNTY TURNS
OUT UNUSUALLY BIG VOTE
Interest Centers in Selection of Repub
lican Candidate for Controller.
Stickers Used Against
Judge Butler
WnST CHESTER., Sept 19 The vote In
Chester County especially In the towns. Is
an unusually large one today and much
Interest Is being taken In many local fights
The selection of Republican candidates,
which usually means election for those
chosen, Is the only matter of Interest, but
the workers of all parties are ncthe get
ting out the voters and motorcars are buiy
In' atl sections carrying sick and aged
voters.
The chief Interest centers on the selec
tion of a Republican candidate for County
Controller, the candidates being dcorge W
TJewecs, a member of the Chester County
bar, who is the choice of the organliatlon,
and George H Baldwin, a business man, of
this place. ,
That Judge William Butler will receive
the nomination Is conceded, but stickers
containing the name of Walter S. Talbot, a
member of the county bar, aro being used
freely in many precincts. Just where
there stickers were printed or by whom Is
sued Is a mystery, but It Is alleged In
many quarters that they are the outcome
Of the fight of the liquor men, many of
whom lost licenses recently before Judge
-Sutler.
It is said the move Is a quiet one made
to decrease his ote for future effect. T. L.
Byre, the leader of the stalwart faction of
the Republican party, declarer the moe Is
not one by the leaders and Mr. Talbot
himself disclaims all knowledge of the
matter. He has been absent from town for
E'ome time on a neat ton and on return de
clared the matter a mjstery to him. as he
has always been a firm supporter of Judge
Butler.
