Ne disturbance of any kind was re

the most quiet election In years. The

lieved the total of losses will be much
nearer the $4,000,000 mentioned ir.' the
first estimate than $3,000,000.
Mines Shew Less
The accountant also had gene into the
finances of the Kl Progresso geld mines
In Mexico, which Dler had utilized te '
reassure uneasy customers nnd which '
he contended would supply funds where
with te pay off all customers. The
mines had cost the firm for the year
$134,000. mainly salaries te empleyes
and cash advances te Individuals con
nected with the property.
Mr. Reis asserted that there was n
possibility of recovering perhaps hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Inasmuch
as the charges made en the Dier & Ce.
books, from which hp hud taken his
figures, were of amounts charged against
the firm, when, properly speaking, many
of them should have been made against
Individuals.
Mr. Hayes stated that certain stock
exchange houses which had been sub

influence.
With the defeat of New, all mem
bers of the New, Hays, Goedrich com
bination went out of public life. Mean
while Watsen gained strength through
his victory in 1020 and through the elec
tion of a State administration which
was at least as favorable te him at le
New.
'1 he develepment of Beveridge's
strength gave Watsen and McCrny
their opportunity te get together against
New and Beveridge, seeking support
of the rising power In the State, is sup
posed te have reached an understanding
with them.
See Split at Election
It is predicted here that this strug
gle for supremacy in the machine will
be felt en Election Day. Mr. New's
friends are bitter about his dtfeat. They
belong te the mere censervuthc element
in the Republican Party, and ate nat
urally net fatnrnble te Mr. Beveridge,
On the ground of what lie represents,
Mr. Ralston, the Democratic candidate
for Senater, is mere acceptable te them
than the former Progressive who wen

Watsen for ills alleged tieachery le

On the ether hand, Mr. New l se

State and nation should bear," he said

sylvania's 5.000,000 acres which he

But Air of Confidence Is Lack
ing Sproul Surprised
at Light Vete
ANYBODY'S RACE NOW
leaders of the Plnchet and Alter
forces hesitated today In predicting the
outcome en account of the lack of defi
nite returns from the country districts.
Rut supporters of both candidates were
hopeful of victory;.
Senater D. Edward Ieng, campaign
manager for Plnchet, said:
"The outcome will undoubtedly be
very close, I think, however, that the
Plnchet vote in the country districts
will enable him te pass .Mr. Alter nnd
win the nomination despite the latter's
present lead of approximately 25,000
votes."
Mr. Tlnchet remained nt his State
headquarters in the Real Estate Trust
Building until ft A. M., when he went
te his npartment In the Bcllcvue-Strat-ferd.
Declines te Cemment
"I have no cemratnt te make until
the outcome Is known beyond specula
tion or question." he said.
The light balloting surprised Gover Gover
eor Sproul.
"It wns a lighter vote both ways
than any one expected," lie said. "It
has been a real light by both sides, that
much is certain.
"I am particularly gratified at the
nomination of Senater Pepper and of
Mnler Reed. Beth men possess unusual
ability, mid will de ns much as any
two men can te restore Pennsylvania
te Its proper position In the United
States Senate. I nm very proud of
any part I may have played in the
selection of these two outstanding rep
resentatives." Senater Wire still believes Alter will
win.
"I have been informed by W. Harry
Baker," said the Senater, "thet Aitcr's
lead in the State will be about U3.000.
I see no reason te change my opinion
that Mr. Alter has wen.
, Women Played Big Part
"The women played a most promi
nent part in the primary election. They
came out in goodly numbers, nnd were
firm In the support of their candidate.
I wns greatly surprised at thp result
In Germnntewn, because. I reallv ex
pected n much larger Alter vote In that
district.
"If the primaries had been held two
weeks Inter Alter would have had be
tween 100,000 and 150.000 majority.
The Organization did net renllze that
it had a real fight en its hnnds until
the last moment."
Praise of the women for the work
they did at the poll wns given by Mrs.
Arehlbnld Harmen, leader of the
women workers for the Vare forces.
When seen nt her home. f24" Balti
more avenue, she said : "Without the
splendid work of the women nt the
polls little could have been accom
plished. They were out from the time
the polls opened until they closed at
night, working hard for their favorite
candidates. Tncy never stepped during
the day and worked with the proper
spirit."
Mrs. Harmen declined te make any
comment en the result, but said ahe
might Jinve something te bay when jt
was definitely known who had wen.

Man of Mystery
' ii 37-Day Fast
Continued from rase Ope
suit of overeating nnd his professional
nnd social acquaintance with tobacco;
though, no doubt, the cathartics nnd
ether medicines ndmlnlsterccl te him
helped. The theory of his fast is te
eliminate this poison. When the poison
is gene he will break hit fast. Hew seen
this may be he doe's net knew, but he
expects te catry the fast for nt least
another two weeks.
Fer two weeks mere lie will lire en
the juice of ernnges. Then slowly, very
slowly, he will adapt Ii liiiM-lf e th
comparatively strenueiir diet of milk -milk
from pure-bred . IIeMcins only.
Never. TvetVaaln, will he nt.cn.pt te
reconcile his Innards te niustnrd. rail,
meat, vinegar. Epsom selCi or nicotine.
One understands that he will leave
his fast rather regretfully. New. nR
he says, he Is In the fullest vigor of
maiir rents. His mind Is as clear us
the spring behind the farmhouse and
is retentive of what passes through t
as the blackberry bushes en the bill.
He feel no urge for feed. He Is even
"le te w"?k in the kitchen with com cem
plete Indifference, and te listen te he
dinner bell with' a cynical smile en his
lips.
Talcing Sun Cure, Toe
Each day he drinks eight or nine
slflssen of water. Each day, tee, he
gees down te' he eek. bathes and lies
nn hour naked In sun.
He savs he fasted In Philadelphia for
twentv-flvc days. It was hard work,
and en the fifth day It seemed as though
he must knuckle under and eat a hnnd
fnl of bran or something.
"I get sick." he said. "I spent most
of the time walking about In the parks.
But the air was full of tobacco smoke
nnd It poisoned me. The exhaust from
the automobiles bothered me. tee. But
after that it came easier, and every day
it gets ensicr yet.
"That first call you feel for feed
ain't hunger, it's only appetite. It's
when veu get your second hunger, as
they cell it, that you knew your body's
living en Its own tissues nnd It s time te
give It something. I ain't come te that
yet. I'm still living en the poison in
my intestines.
"All a man neds te make n fast is
will-power and plenty of water. Of
course .It's a geed thing te de ke I
did read up en the subject first."
There is no doubt that "Mr. Brlggs"
is regarded with n half religious awe,
deriving ids persistence from some In
ward gift-
Nene, hetveter. have chosen te fellow
his example. But if ethers elsewhere
nre inclined te the attempt, "Mr.
Brlggs" is willing te give them the ben
efit of his knowledge and experience,
quite without condition except that they
must net seek t'e learn who he is and
whence he came.
