With two n,miw nmmUslnncr'diinsi nnil the county treasurer's post tucked under hW belt, Stnte Senator Mux Leslie has 'emerged from the hottest political fight fn the history of Allegheny county "greater in his power than ever before." lined up against Leslie, the Oliver -Flinn combination re-enforced by poli ticians of all creeds, nhftdei and castes, mada a poor showing. True, the combi nation elected John Douglas, .Tr , to tho county clerkship and also succeeded In returning William Conner register of wills, but neither office figures largely in the "ways nnd means of tlio Alle gheny county political machine. , Selection of the successor to Hme. Penrose in the Vnitcd States Sennlc undoubtedly will be the next Issue on which the rival forces will clash and it is understood here that the nntl-Leslic program will be to set up candidates for national delegates in 1020 who will back a progressive Ilcpubhcan for I ics ident of the type of Senator Hiram Tohnson, of California, or Senator nvxi.... i)A:.iatov nf WmsViincton. IiCslle, through ninehinc-contrnlted city wards, ran up the vote nf ' ( har lie' Anderson, finishing him high among ten nominees for the lin pltees to bo filled in November in the city s nonpartisan city Council of nine. Also in his anxiety to revenge himself on William riinn, who supported the nnti I,eslic rnuse, Leslie issued orders to cut .Tndgo Henry G. AA'neson, known to have been friendly to Flinn in the Leslie controlled wards. ,,,,,. Those two incidents in all probability furnish the spark which will continue the fight of Leslie and Leslielsm here into the general election next month, an unprecedented thing here following a party primary.

This applies to some of the ward leaders and representative men of the party who opposed tho Democratic nominee for mayor, J. Calviu Stayer.
