McLean's Inroads Further Proof
- That Old Order of Politics
Is Passing
' fey GEORGE NOX AIcOAIK
Tho political pendulum in Philadel
phia swung back again yesterday.
From the ma'la'dmlnlstratlon of the
old Varc regime lt,has swayed back to
good government.
In tho hfatctho-regular Republican
ticket won handily from indications thus
far received.
That much was decided in yesterday's
statewide election primaries.
Above all else, the results an a whole
emphasized tbp waning of the power of
the Varc machine. Its masters were
defeated in their own strongholds,
where for long years no ojher political
power was recognized.
It was a wonderful fight.
It was a barc-fistcd struggle with tho
remuant of n once puibsunt organization
that went down to-defeat after it bad
exhausted every scheme and artifice to
prolong its life,
In the city there wcrcvcrimcs against
tho laws perpetrated in the vain hope
'of prolonging thatp'pwcr. The county
offices were virtually emptied of their
employes, all Vara partisans,, who went
forth to do battle ra( "die polls.
yaro Stronfhold Swept
The big outstanding local feature is
Mat. me anministrauon, 'v,t2 ,UB'or
.uoore at mc ncnu, swept mo om varc
stronghold. It nominated three out of
the fourcpngrcssmen- in districts whero
there wcrp contests. Tho-Wayor Jed
his much-advertised opponent, W.
Frcclandi Kendrick, fin tho contest for
'delegafc-at-Iargo to' the national Re
publican convention.
The defeat of former Sheriff Ranslcy
'to succc'cd Mayor-Moore in Congress,
by Charles Dclany, was a. bitter blow to
the Varc organization. It signalized
tho downfall o'f tho Vnro powerin a
district controlled by it for years.
This fact, combined with the effect of
local disasters elsewhere,- and the defeat
'of Congressman 'W. S. Varc in bis own
ward for city committeeman, means
the near ultimate relegation of the Vare
machine's operations to a restricted
area of 'South Philadelphia. .
McLean Defeat 'Expected
The defeat of John R. McLean by
Max A'ron la the Fifth Senatorial dis
trict was expected. Mr. McLean him
elf recognized that ho had a desperate
fipht on hand.
Ho was pitted against the long-entrenched
power-; of 'two of the -oldest,
able&t and most resourceful '"machinu
headers in the city, David II. Lane ami;
Senator David "Martin. ' J
Tho tremendous inrpa'ds made by Mr.
