Tuesday's bnttle, has hem shaken from

every one of the congressional district,
except In their own restricted bailiwick,
the Vare candidates for delegates to the
national Ilepubllcnn conxention weie
defeated bj the Penrose-Moore men.

Idea that the Vare machine in the
Third district was invincible.
While Max Aron defeated .John K
McLean for the state ,Scnnte in the
IMfth district it wax the most dearly
bought ticton in the eitj .
In their triumph both Senator Pnvid
Martin nnd David H. I.nue were com
pelled tn drink "the bitter waters of
Ma rah."
Though they won. thev suffered a
blow to their prestige from which thev
will scarcely recover. It's the top of
the toboggan for them.
Fortune of Politics
But it is the fortune of politic". Their
real friends, however, regret the trend
of that individual judgment which led
them to fight nn administration in which
they might have worn their well-earned
laurels undisturbed.
The majority in the city committee,
either way in the final nnnlysis. going
to be sufficientlv close to make it n
brilliant focus of political interest and
Intrigue for the future. Mark the fact,
that, there will be some dandy displays
of finesse, diplomacy and crafty maneu
vcring when that body of luminaries
starts to function properly.
Anyhow, It's a good thing for the
nenubllcan party In Philadelphia. It
will keep the leaders on their tiptoes.
It will set the blood to circulating nnd
will give both sides a course in political
Jiljtiteu that will be good for their
souls as the months roll ny.
There has been some disposition as
between the "wets" and the "drys" to
make capital out of Tuesday's result,
The prohibition question in the He
publican ranks really cut no figure.
Congressman Oeorge P. Dnrrow, who
won In the Sixth district. Is an ac
knowledged "drj " He defeated D. Y.
Waters, who. appropriately named; was
avowedly "wet." .Sifted down to the
ultimate, however. It seems to have been
a straight factional fight, with the boore
question ns n sde Issue.
The same applies in the Fifth dis
trict, where .1. .1. Connelly won out.
He Is "wet." While his attitude on
that subject undoubtedly brought him
n certain accession of strength, it Is
doubtful If It was the main spoke in the
wheel that carried him to victory.
legislative IjOs leads
In the sequence of Vare machine ca
lamities, the loss of over 30 per cent In
their legislative delegation stands very
near the top of the column. In fact
the loss of the Third Congressional dis
trict and the unhorsing of Congress
man Vare as a member of the city com
mittee nione exceed It in interest.
Thirty-one members represented the
Vnre strength in the Legislature of 1010.
The returns of Tuesdaj credit them with
nineteen as their posible representa

This reduction in the sine and voting

At the sanie time it Incienses the pres

clcnncnt of strength to be reckoned with
at critical times in the course of legis

the size of Senator Penrose's vote ns

which attended his stnte ticket, should

machine does not seem to haT slipped n
tog anywhere.
In fact. It movAl noiselessly, with
elegance and precision.
His slate for delegates to the na
tional convention nnd for congressman-nt-large
escaped the wet sponge from
top to bottom, with perhaps one excep
tion, and It Is stilt In doubt the se
lection of Ileplogle as detegate-at-large.
Judge Sylvester B. Sadler seems tn
have won a Solitary place on the No
vember ticket. Judge Kunkel mnde a
less satisfactory showing over the state
than was anticipated.
The general interest In the Republi
can factional battle In Philadelphia de
tracted attention almost wholly from
the factional battle In the Democratic
party In the stnte.
Outside of strictly local contests In
counties and senatorlhl and congres

tered nround the fracas between Attor
ney Genernt Palmer and Joseph F.
(tiiffey, candidate for national com
mitteeman on one side nnd Judge Bon
nlwell, of this city, on the other.
It was frankly a "booze" battle
all the wny through. According to ac
cusations nnd vociferous accounts
enough boose was Uncorked In the State
to float n canalboat.
Disgraceful conditions prevailed, ac
cording to veracious Democratic ac
counts, In various sections where gov
ernment agents deliberately closed both
eyes nnd plugged their ears with lint
when the red liquor flowed and corks
popped in the Interests of one or the
other of the candidates.
It was a nip-nnd-tuck race, and, ac
cording to latest available figures. A.

Judge Uonniwell and his following

map but that the iudce. bv lihirl

hold sufficient to galu him entrance into i
the magic circle of delegntes.
Hut as the Democratic party In Phil
adelphia exists only as n commercial
enterprise, and, since the days of Rob

minority offices, the public can be ex- '
