Tha Bemocrats of Scranton evidently
look upon their local contest, which In
volves tile election of a mayor, as hope-le.-s.
They have started nearly two weeks
before diction a cry that fraud Is liiien-l-
ed by The Republicans. Tills Is not nn
uual when defeut Is foreseen, but It li
not the practice of those conscious of
their own strength and cause. There me
some Republican dimensions In Scran
ton, but they have no bfttter basis than
personal selllshness, which docs not I it
lluence Tulr-minded men. The Repul ll
cans have a conspicuously worthy candi
date for mayor In Colonel Kxra 11. Iti; .
pie, a man of high clinrcter and entitled
to the support of every Republican. 11.:
election now will put the parly la shape
for a Hiiccessrul battle on the lmportuut
Held lutc-r III the year, and If his success
were not pretty (prtulu the Democrats
would not be -attempting to excuse their
prospective defeat by a cry of fraud.
