Republican Victories in All Parts of the Country Indicate Big Sweep in f 916
HARRISBTJRG ifilsߧ TELEGRAPH
LXXXIV— No. 258
REPUBLICAN SWEEP
IN DAUPHIN COUNTY;
CONTROL COUNCIL
Elect Whole County Ticket by Big Majorities Except
Houser, Who Was Defeated by Danner, on Personal Is
sues ; Council Is Made Up of Bowman, Lynch, Gross,
Gorgas and Meals, Mayor; Suffrage Beaten by Small
Vote; Bridge and Fire Loans Carry
With three precincts in the city and
six in the county to hear from, the
whole Republican ticket has been
elected with the exception of William
N. Houser, for register of wills, who
was defeated by R. C. Danner, who
was returned to office on purely per
sonal issues.
William H. Lynch, Harry F. Bow
man ard W. L. Gorgas have been re
elected to city council. M. Harvey
Taylor and Mayor Royal have been
defeated and the new member of
council will be ex-Mayor E. Z. Gross,
a one-time Republican, now lined up
with the Democrats. Of course Mayor
Meals was elected, as was a certainty,
his being the only name on the ticket
as a result of his having received
than 50 per cent, of the vote cast at
the primaries.
A. Carson Stamm, Dr. C. E. L.
Keene and Robert A. Enders, the Re
publican candidates for the school
board, were elected by large majori
ties, Mr. Stamm having no opposition
because of his eminent fitness for the
place.
Woman suffrage was defeated in
both city and county, but by a much
closer vote than anticipated.
The Walnut street bridge loan of
$300,000, with three precincts to hear
from, was carried by a close vote.
The loan of $60,000 to motorize the
lire department was carried by an
overwhelming majority in all parts
of the city.
All of the constitutional amend
ments aside from suffrage were car-
M by fair majorities in city and
•H»linty.
Judges Head and Orlady received
good sized majorities, Judge Orlady
leading, with J. Henry Williams third
for the Superior Court bench.
One of the most interesting fights
in the county and filled with signifi
cance to the future of the Democrats
in Dauphin was that between James
E. Lentz, of Elizabethville, Republi
can candidate for recorder of deeds
and Dr. Albert Fritchey, of Harris
burg, brother of the former mayor.
Dentz carried both the city and the
county and has a majority of consider
ably over 1,000. He cut down the old
time Democratic strength north of the
mountains to almost nothing and
polled a bigger vote in that district
than either Penrose or Brumbaugh
last November.
The lively battle for the district at
torneyship waged by the rivals of four
years ago, District Attorney M. E.
Stroup, Republican, and Paul A. Kun
kel, fusion nominee, resulted in a
splendid victory for Stroup, he having
more than 12,000 votes to 8,800 for
his opponent.
For county controller Henry W.
Gough simply overwhelmed Addison
C. Goodfellow with a majority that
will be between 3,000 and 4,000, while
Mark Mummu, the Steelton young Re
publican, ran away with the county
treasurership over David Hatz, the fu
sion bund candidate from Middletown.
Frank B. Snavely, of Hershey. and
•Fernando Loudermilch, of Halifax.
Republican candidates for the poor
board, defeated Harry C. Cassel and
George F. Fetterholf, the fusionists,
by majorities that will absolutely as
sure Republican control of the poor
board.
Dr. Henry M. Stine, Harrisburg, and
Charles C. Cumbler, Highspire, were
swept into the county commissioner
ships. Dr. Stine having over 11,000
votes and Cumbler over 10,000. Harry
C. Wells, the sheriff, trounced County
Commissioner John H. Eby for the
minority place on the board. The
fight between Eby and Wells was one
of the features of the campaign. Eby
being the choice of the McConnick
wing of the Democratic party. Wells'
victory is regarded in the light of per
sonal popularity and there were ulso

Indications in his vote that the old
Meyers wing of the Democracy was
commencing to reassert itself, as of
yore.
William W. Caldwell will be the next
sheriff of Dauphin county, having put
to utter rout the carefully laid plans
of the fusionists to elect E. N. Lebo,
a Bull Mooser a couple gf years ago.
Caldwell will have a total of nearly
12,000 votes to about 8,800 for the
fusion bunder.
The sympathy campaign played by
Deputy Register Charles W. Ruhen
dall and others in behalf of Register
Danner carried Danner back into the
register's office by several thousand
■ majority. Danner's victory is re
garded as purely personal, hundreds
lof voters of all parties casting a bal
lot for him to help hiin along because
they saw he could not make a per
sonal campaign. This was the only
place on the ticket in which the Dem
ocrats and Washingtonians and Key
stoners showed the strength they were
so loudly claiming on the housetops
before election.
Warren J. Daniels, an upper ender.
was elected county surveyor, in a
walk.
Indications this afternoon were that
DeWitt A. Fry, former city council
man, had defeated Ashton D. Peace,
also a former councilman, for city
controller. Both are Republicans.

SUFFRAGE GOES
DOWN IN STATE BY
OVER 35,000 VOTES
Majority Cast Against the
Amendment Will Be Much
Less Than Expected
ADVOCATES ARE JUBILANT
Plan Meetings to Celebrate the;
Vote—Statement From
Headquarters
The woman suffrage amendment to
the constitution of Pennsylvania has
apparently been defeated by from
35,000 to 45,000 in tho State accord
ling to returns and estimates available
at 2 P. M. to-day.
The city of Harrisburg and county
of Dauphin with a few districts to
hear from show majorities against tho
I amendment. Cumberland and Perry
counties and a number of others in
this section voted against it.
The suffragists are confident that
they will go to Philadelphia with a
majority, but it is feared that the
;Quaker city will overcome it.
The Suffrage View
A statement from Mrs. Frank M.
Koessing, President, Pennsylvania Wo
man Suffrage Association at 12.45 to
day said:
"Tho latest reports from our county
chairmen indicate that we have posi
tively carried 25 counties, and that
only 13 are absolutely lost. The
others we have no definite figures on
yet. The counties we have carried are
Armstrong, Beaver, Blair, Bradford,
Butler, Cambria, Chester, Crawford,
Klk, Forrest, Greene. Clearfield, Jef
ferson. Luzerne, Lycoming. McKean,
Mercer. Susquehanna, Venango, War
ren, Washington, Wayne, Westmore
land. Wyoming and Clarion.
'The counties that have given ma
jorities against the amendment are
Berks, Bucks, Center, Cumberland,
Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Law
rence, Lebanon, Montgomery, Union,
York and Philadelphia. Lackawanna
and Allegheny are running, close and
are in doubt. The chances are that,
we may carry the latter county by a
Ismail majority, as 597 precincts out
jof 778 in Allegheny give 39,131 for
suffrage and 39,497 against. Our
amendment is repotted to be showing
a steady gain in the remaining pre
cinct*.
The worst blow dealt us have come

Finding of Skeleton Brings
Up Stories of "Wild Man"
Lc wist own, Pa., Nov. 3. -Discovery
of u human skeleton in the woods a
few miles west of McVeytown on Mon
day evening by a hunter is thought to
solve the mystery of a "wild man"
who roamed the mountains In this sec
tion about ten or twelve years ago.
The find was made by John Youtzy, of
near this place.
The skeleton was found among some
bushes and near by were found faded
shreds of clothing hanging to under
growth. The bones of the skeleton
were bleached, but were all there, and
were those of a gAod-stzed man.
David Miller, a resident of Oliver
township, living near where the find
was made, says that the bones are
likely those of a man who made his
appearance in the neighborhood about
a decade ago. He was called a "wild
man."
NO HOPEFUL ASSURANCE
Rome, Nov. 3. via Paris.—Pope!
Benedict expressed regret to-day to
Cardinals who made inquiries that he
was unable to give any hopeful assur
ance as to a likelihood of early peace
negotiations. Embassies of the allied
powers here all officially deny that
there is any foundation for tho reports
that a peace movement is under way.

By Associated Press
Baltimore, Nov. 3.—State Comptrol

cratic candidate for governor was
elected yesterday to succeed Governor
P. L. Goldsborough, Republican. At
8 o'clock this morning his plurality

siderably, and Hugh A. Mcßlullen.

evenly with the gubernatorial candi
date. '
The Democrats will retain control
of the Senate, through holdover mem
bers and probably will have a. reduced
majority in the House of Delegates.

of Baltimore county, to a plank in the
Democratic platform favoring an ex

regarded as one of the principal rea
sons for the turnover in the county

Opposed Viaduct
Harrlsburg yesterday voted to in
crease its bonded indebtedness $360,-
000 to provide for the construction of
a new bridge across the Pennsylvania
railroad tracks at Walnut street anil
for the equipment of the fire depart
ment with modern motor-driven ap
paratus.
The bridge provides for an expendi
ture of $300,000, and it was carried
by the narrow margin of less than 250
votes.
The first loan permits the city to
spend $60,000 for motor-drawn ap
paratus. It was carried by the safe
margin of 4,500 or more.
The final results were not obtainable
until late this afternoon because of
; the unusual length of the time re
' quired by some of the election hoards
Ito count the ballots. The last to he
| finished was the second precinct of
i the Twelfth ward. 'With this precinct
j still uncounted the final vote on tlvs
) bridge loan showed that 4571 had
1 voted for its passage and 4326 had
I voted against. it —a majority defeat of
| 245.
Indifference to the bridge problem,
jin many quarters of the city was said
■ to-day in municipal circles to have
! bad much to do with the passage of
I the loan.
I Scores of people didn't vote at all,
and failure to mark the ticket served
| nimost as well as a vote for passage.
| Then, too the residents of Allison
j Hill turned in on a Brand scale to
push the bridge measure through.
I Firemen who worked valiantly
throughout the city for the passage of
the tire loan helped boost the former
measure, it is «aid, in return for sup
port off the movement in which they
were so particularly Interested.
The bridge as planned provides for
the spanning of the viaduct from tho
Hill terminus of Walnut street across
j the tracks to Walnut street beyond
Fifth. The City Planning Commis
sion objected to the movement be
cause of the proposed location of the
bridge in view of the possible effect it
might have on the plan for the capttol
park extension.
