Vare also made an unusual record
by his election n State Senater from

It is probable that Congressman Vare
will take part in the special Hesslen

REVENGE THEORY HELD
The Deven Citizens' Association is
net satisfied with the investigation of
the "poison enke mystery" which caused
the death of W. W. Sterrett and the
Illness of his wife.
J. Cliften Buck, chairman of the
Citizens' Association, stated today he
favors the theory that Mr. Sterrett, nn
expert accountant, discovered a short
age in some one's account, and that re
venge or fear prompted the mailing of
the cake.
Mr. Buck, who is associated with n
drug firm in this city, said Mr. Sterrett
had done auditing work for that con
cern. He believes Sterrett uncovered
defalcations clsewhere, and that seme
one, faced with exposure, decided te seal
bis lips.
"The Deven Citizens' Association is
net entirely satisfied with the investi
gation," said Mr. Buck. "Deven is a
quiet, 'mind-your-ewn-buslncss' town,
nnd in normal circumstances resents
delving into anybody's pnst. The mem
bers feel that nil members of the Ster
rett family are absolutely innocent of
the poisoning."
Mr. Buck said Police Chief Kelthley.

investigation because he must patrol the
community, and there arc p funds

This charge was made at the begin
ning of the trial of the two bankers
today before Judge Stern en indict
ments growing out of the failure.
Chandler and Mendenhall, youthful
nnd dapper, were compelled te listen
te a scathing denunciation by the

The Assistant District Attorney de
clared that the bankers had deliber
ately taken securities left with them
by customers, and bad sold tbcm with
out a vcstlue of an excuse.
Mr. Fex also made tbe point, in his
preliminary speech te tbe jury, that tre
Commonwealth was net concerned with
restitution, and that It was the duty
of the jurors te return a conviction even
though the bankers had made geed the
depleted accounts of their customers. '
At the trial today it was brought out
for the first time that young Chandler

Fight Says Governer-Elect Has Great
- Future Ahead of Him
By GEORGE
Gifferd Pinchot has been elected with
the entire Republican State ticket, as
was te be expected In a State that has
chosen a Democratic Governer only
three times in sixty years.
Tbe outcome was never In serious
doubt from the opening of the cam
paign and the first declaration of prin
ciples upon which Gilferd Pinchot made
bis appeal for support.
Early indications were that con
siderable apathy existed in the party
organization. This was dup largely te
tbe confusion and uncertainty that
arose as a result of Senater Penrose's
death, and the lack of individual and
distinctive leadership.
It was te be expected. Thr Republi

entered n campaign in sixty years that
It . did net recognize its "master's
voice."

crats and Republicans here are dazed
by tbe election returns which arc com

te -the Democratic Party developed in
the last few days of the campaign, but
no one foresaw the extent of the Dem
ocratic victories.
Ne one perceived that the Heuse was
in doubt, with the probability which
exists at this writing, that complete
figures will give it te the Itepubll
cans. New Yerk was conceded te Smith,
but no one guessed that he would carry
It by a majority similar te that by
which Harding swept it In 10UO, and
that he would carry through the Demo
cratic candidate for the Senate with
blm.
Ne one perceived that Senater Ledge
would escape defeat In Massachusetts
by the narrow margin of about 1500
votes. Ne ene saw the probable defeat
of Beveridge in Indiana nnd of Kel
logg In Minnesota.

CHANGES IN CITY COUNCIL
Camden today Is rubbing Its eyes in
wonder after one of tbe greatest po
litical unheavals that has marked elec
tion day in recent years.
The Republican organization, rated
as of the strongest in the State, was
handed a terrific shock by the Dem
ocrats, who elected a Mayer, for the
first time in eighteen years, nnd wen
three seats in Cltv Council. In addi
tien the Democrats cut down the large,
majorities thnt had been predicted for
nil the G. O. P. candidates, both in
tbe city and cepnty.
Councilman Victer King, Democrat,
of the Twelfth Ward, was elected
Mayer ever Acting Mayer Frank 8.
Van Hart, Republican, after one of
the bitterest tights ever waged In
Camden. Republicans had predicted a
majority of nnoe and upward for Van
Ilnrt, but Klnj was victorious by about
700 votes. Twe weeks age, Van Hart
wns n 10-te-l shot, but sentiment
turned In favor of King within the
last week nnd the tide carried him ever.

rising tide of Democratic victories Id
many States, the tremendous Republi

landslide of two years age were knocked
right and left in yesterday's elections.
The Republican majorities in the
United States Senate and in the Heuse
of Representatives were sharply
reduced, but Republican manager
declared they would net be wiped out.
When twenty-five States bad corn
pleted their congressional returns'
neither Republicans nor Democrats had
progressed far toward control of the

returned a solid Republican delegation

parties tie at 178 in the race for the
necessary 218 majority. It become
plain that the deciding votes were yet '
te come from the West and Middle
West.

Early stock and bend market price

might appear te construe the election
