t'KJKWCT . SSI Is? CUT DOWN BY RAIN AylWiUL j u t fm I and a happy tfe tfSr aa -Fourth of July rolled. into one. "-It didn't mtttf n bit whether you were for tbo League of Nations or ogln it If you were a Rood fellow you could nlar. The crowd was n Republican one. though, without n doubt. In the hotel Umbrellas and Hats Suffer Be fore High Wind And Then Clear Skies and Nolso UNION LEAGUE PARADES rhlladclphlans who got their election rciurna dished up to them in the warm flow of the parlof lamp may have won flered this morning why n broken um brella adorned nearly every other street corner. Briefly that was the .favorite way of 'eelnx Harding in. The only persons who weren't fran tically clinging to the other end of Bmbrellas that had Just turned Inside eut last night were thos whose um brellas had turned Inside out fivo min utes before. , , If the few thousands of fun-sceRlng Thlladelnhlans who came down town 'ast night primed up to give the most hilar ious overbrimming tribute ever to tbe city's new cltlrcncsscs were looking for zcltemcnt they most certainly found It. Only it was of tho unexpected brand. Every One Huns to Cover Huge signs blew down. Hats flew 'elf. The street gutters ran 'Iko rivers .And the newly -made, cltlzcnc-sscs clung to male escorts In very unenfranchised fashion. Motors with lights gleaming pale silver in the rain darted here and -there keeping the hapless person on foot bopping to get out of the way. ' -The street lamps trailed like dejected tinsel streamers on a g!asy asnhalt. Itnd through it al' a blinding wind and rain was driven in such torrential vwirls across Broad street that n mere presidential election was all but for gotten. Creature comfort ranks high fa everybodv'8 mind and everybody rnn to cover. They huddled in front of tho boards flashing the returns, they over flowed in hotel and theatre lobbies and they crowded the already crowded door ways. Then the miracle happened. It tonprd raining, and election nicht for 1020 began. Not the wild, riotous one ho'tcd for. but a vivid varletv that wll' live in the memory of the election crowd that witnessed it. Union League Members Parado At 11 o'clock, exactly the hour when the Union League members said they would parade, the huge varicolored electrically lighted eagle in front of the elub with its brand-new sign about Harding and Coolldgc burfct Into a flare of light. It sent the first bit of warmth to the heart of a cheerful but disappointed crowd. Then suddenly ome one shouted : "It's Sproul and Trice nnd Stuart that's leading them." And It was so. Down the steps of the Union League they came, 1000 members strong, headed by n present and past governor nnd n high ranking ojdlcr in civilian clothes. But the celebrities faded in face of something more iinno-tont. It was a band. As the men formed their line of march Sousa's Thunder March crashed across Broad street. The spirits of tho crowd rose to It like wine. Like magic tho people nppeared Worn everywhere. The rain was forgotten. It was e'ec tlon night, and it was enough to be alive. If there had been confetti they would hare thrown it. but rnlncoat pockets provided none. That's why the trcets are unbelievably clean today. tThe best they could do was divide a measley share of stock ticker tape. Fireworks Brighten SUlcs At that moment some one chose to tart shooting a revolver from the roof of the Bel'evue-Stratford, and then al most Immediately the first piece of fire works from the Manufacturers' Club went up. The sky was flooded with amber and shot with gold stars, and the crowd cheered. For a little while the affair took on the flavor of an old-time election. It was everybody's birthday dining rooms and lobbies thcro was a fervent cheering for Harding when tho returns were read. Tho crowds in tho theatres felt the same way about it. In front of the Young Men's Repub lican Club, whc.ro the crowd drifted after the Union League members' fin ished parading, thcro was much clap ping when the sheet opposite piled up winning totals for Harding, The men and women congregated thcro were in reality waiting for the Vnro parade which was expected to como from downtown nt any minute to celebrate tho victory of Pommer. But tho parade did not come only n vanguard of it four women in Qeorgo Thompson's mn chlne, bearing rod torches and an nouncing tint Varo forces would parade tomorrow night. The demise of John Barleycorn prob ably accounts Just as much as tho rain for an evening that bubbled but never cflmo to the boiling point. - One.

FEW.AT MAYOR'S RECEPTION , Returns Received at City Hall, but Excitement la Lacking Tho bad weather kept tho election party held In tho Mayor's reception room in City Hall last night down more or less to poker proportions and the crowd didn't get large enough to oc cupy tho special chairs that had been put up for the occasion. In spite of all this, the Mayor him self was on hand, as wore a number of prominent Phlladelphlans. The crowd, or what there was of It, drifted in and out as Senator Harding contin ued to pile up his lead. About 11:30 the Mayor gave out a statement which read that at that tlmo It looked ns if Harding nnd Coolidgo wcro elected. Then the Mayor left tho scene,- but not without ndding thot Mr. Gallagher had been a good candidate nnd had made a great fight against odds. Tho reception room wns equipped with special wires carrying full elec tion returns and messenger service from tho local contests. 13. J.
