| THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
Result of Tuesday's Balloting in Leading
Pennsylvania Cities,
PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 19, — Local elections
were held In this state yesterday, Several
interesting contests were waged in the
larger cities which elected mayors, In this
city the ticket was headed by John L
Kinsey and Arthur Blddle, respectively
Republican and Democratic candidates for
city solicitor, Kinsey was elected by a
majority that will probably exceed the
Democratic vote, The campaign was note
worthy for the especially bitter fights in
many of the wards, due to the factional split
in the Republican ranks, the efforts of the
Municipal League, and here and there to
the activity of the Democrats
The returns thus far secured from
contested wards In this city indicate
the Municipal League has failed in
efforts to secure the election to councils of
reformers. In the Eight ward where a hard
fight was mude against Wenoeel Hartman
who Is president of common
that gentleman was elected by nearly 1,00
majority. In the Fifth ward s bitter fight
