Time snd again the honest and decent people of Pennsylvania have risen im revolt aginst the self-constituted bosses whe have so long dominated the state, only to be baffled in their efforts by the enormous bogus vote rolled up by the Quay-Penrvse- Durham-McNichol ag §regation that so long held Philadel. phla Ly the throat. In November of last year there was an honest vote in tt city, thanks to the uprising of the Cly Party and the purging of the as- sessors’ lists, and Berry swept the city by a majority of about 35,000. Philadelphia will have another hon- est election next month, under the workings of the pew personal registra- tion law, ad there is every indication that Emery will carry the city by volte almost, If not quite, as large as that of Berry. This will be due to the fact that there will be no fraudulent voting and that thousands of citizens who had ceased to cast a ballot because of the disgusting corruption that ruled will again exercise their rights as free men and will vote against the Penrose machine. The vast extent of the fraud that has disgraced Philadelphia clections fs shown by a comparison of the present registration figures and the vote as re- turned in the Pennypacker-Pattison gubernatorial contest of 1902, just four years ago. The total vote of the city at that election was given as being 248.- 287. while the registered figures for this year are 251.831. As Philadeiphia has added probably 100,000 persons to its population in the last four years the vote of 1902 appears fraudulent on its face. An analysis of the registration figures confirms this view. In the old. er parts of the city, embracing the first 19 wards, where the Penrose-Durham- McNichol! machine has had aimost ab- solute sway, the registration, which has been conducted honestly, so far as is known, has cut down the apparent voting strength of these strongholds of corruption astonishingly. In the newer parts of the city, on the other hand, where the great bulk of the inde. pendent voters live, the registration runs well up with the vote of 1902 or goes far beyond It. A study of the figures below will show how hard the bosses have been hit by the operation of the new law In the Fifth ward, for instance, where , where the order Is oly Hearst, no other election in the United States Is exciting anything like the general interest aroused by that fn Pennsylvania between Emery and Stuart, Uypifying independence and bossism. The Republican press throughout the country is following the conflict with keen Interest, and It is noteworthy that their sympathies are entirely with the fusion ticket and against the Penrose machine. This at- tUtude represents the Republican sen- timent of the country, which has long been shocked by the outrages perpe- trated by the Quay-Penrose-Durham McNichol aggregation and longs fo see the party In this state emancipated from its thralidom. This feeling is expressed by an edl- torial in the New York Sun on “The Issue In Pennsylvania” After refer- ring to the $9,000,000 spent In furnish. jogs on the $4,000,000 capitol and the demand for an investigation it says: “When the consulting engineer to the capitol building commission, Mr. Bern. thd R. Green, wonders how the nine millions could have been squandered on the interior by the auxiliary board of public bulldings and grounds, it is obvious that the people will not be content with the work of the prodigal sons who constituted that board. One of them was the Hon. Samuel W. Pen nypacker, by virtue of his office of gov: ernor. He has been ‘informed by ex cellent judges in such matters, eminent men at that, that there Is no other building in the country approaching in beauty the capitol that was produced as cheaply.’ The worthy governor is much incensed with the people for nol seeing that they have got the best of the bargain with the contractors, “On the other hand, an investigation it 1s estimated, would cost another’ mil. lion; for the lawyers say that it would be necessary to summon the legislature in extra session. No doubt Pennsylva. nia could stand it, for there are several millions left in the treasury; but the risk of uncovering graft and confirming the charges made so noisily by the fusionists would have to be taken. If the sequel! justified them they would of course, elect thelr state ticket. The devil's advice to stand pat really seems: to be the better politics; at least, it does to the machine. “No one suspects the members of the board of public buildings and ground: of having profited a dollar's worth by the palpable waste of the taxpayers money. If there was graft, it was nol higher up, but pretty generally dis: tributed.

In comparison with these figures are shown some of the wards where the spirit of Independence flourishes most in Philadelphia. A notable instance is the Twenty-second, embracing the wealthy suburbs of Germantown and Chestnut’ Hill, where the vote of 9121 in 1902 bas jumped to a registration of 12,332 In 1906. Some other typical wards follow: Registration 1906. 12,3% 8291 11,63% 5364 690¢ 30%! 47.60" In these six wards alone, it will be noticed, all strongly independent, th. registration ia nearly 12000 greate than the vote in 1902, and the gren bulk of this going to Emery. These figures show very clearly tha the fraudulent vote in Philadelphia & going to be cut down to a minimum this year and that the honest, indepen. dent citizen Is going to come forth in such numbers as never before. There could be 50 better news for Pennsylva. aia than this. If Philadelphia once re-' its such fresh extravagancea of wanton expenditure that not a dollar would have been left in the treasury. The wisdom of the voters of the state In turning down the gangster, Plummer, and electing a fearless and thoroughly honest man to be state treasurer has already been vindicated a million times over, The 11d has been lifted and more exposures are to fol- low, Who can doubt that the sturdy Creasy, If elected to the auditor gon- eral's office, will be able to reveal many secrets and effect many reforms A thorough house cleaning is needed at Harrisburg, and Lewis Emery, Jr, is just the man needed to do the work. There are too many Berkeys, Dave Martins, Snyders and others of that {lk holding state office. What Pennsylva- nia needs is a government made up of men of the Berry type, hating corrup- tion and wrong doing and exposing {1 at every opportunity. All the fusion candidates, Messrs. Emery, Black, Creasy and Green, are men of this high standard, who can be depended upon to rid their offices of the Penrose barn- acles who have so long Infested Har- risburg. State Treasurer Berry has shown what one honest man can do It the people of Pennsylvania approve bis course and want their state gov. ernment clean throughout they will vote the full Emery ticket next monta.
