ALL IN EXCEPT ALLEGHENY Judge Fraser Must Show a Majority of 7;1,-40 in Bis Home County in 1 Order to Beat Judge Kunkel With ail of the oftk .ai returns in I the Fraiter-Kunkel contest for the Su preme Court bench, received at tlio State Department except those from Allegheny county. Judge Kankel this morning had a lead of 73.245, The I vote now stands, according to the rc-l turns from fit! out of the 07 counties,! Allegheny out. ns follows. Kunkel 3t>7,- 191: Friu-.er, 293.946. In order to defeat Judge Kunkel,' Judge Frazer must have mi-joiitv of 1 73.246 in Allegheny county. I notlicial! counts give Frnver a lend ot" front 7 0,- 000 to 80.000 iu his home county of; Allegheny. There is nothing official about this, however, and Judge Kun kel 's friends still have a shred of hope. It is argued by the Kunkel people that in the vote of a large county like Al legheny there : s reason to believe that any calculations may be wrong, and that the official count may cut down I'rn/.er's majority, the tendency always being with claimants to claim much more than the official figures show. If Judge Frazer's majority is not at least 73,246 in Allegheny county he does not defeat Judge Kunkel. A dispatch from Pittsburgh this aft-i crnoon from the Tri-State News bureau says that in computing the vote for judge in Pittsburgh city, alone, the court found that Judge Fra/.er has! 52.445, while Judge Kunkel received j 5.693. making Frazer's majority iu the city 46,752. The totals of the State, then, with Pittsburgh included, and Allegheny outside of Pittsburgh un counted. give Kunkel 372,254 and Frailer 346.391. To win out Judge Frazer must have 26.494 vote* in Al l legheny outside of Pittsburgh. The official returns from Allegheny i county have been delayed for some rea-' son, the excuse being that there are i j more than 400 votiug districts in the] j county, and computing returns is slow 1 , work. Philadelphia, with many more . districts, finished its count on Thurs ' day and certified it to the State De-' ! partnient last night. V If Judge Kunkel is defeated for the [Supreme Court judgeship his defeat, according to his friends, may be at , tributed to three things: First, three 'days before election day the word was' passed to all Republican organizations in the State, acting with the State Re publican organization, to mark all bal lots for Supreme Court Judge for Judge Frazer; second that Judge Frazer re-' | sided in a county that had a vote many, times larger than the county in which Judge Kunkel resided, and third, that I j Judge Frazer s name came first on the, official ballot, which in a general elee-1 [ tion such as that of this year means ; thousands of votes to the first man on I I the ballot. The official election returns, as com-1 puted at the State Department, with Allegheny out. for United States Sen ator and Governor, are as follows: Governor —Brumbaugh. 527.235: Mc- Cormiek, 406,769; Brumbaugh's ma jority, 120.266. I n:fed States Senator—Palmer, i 235,740; Piuchot, 235,096; Penrose, 463,515. BfIOKSFORU.OFP.STUDENTS Volumes Are Placed at» Their Disposal at Both State and City Libraries Professor Wendell P.
