PHILADELPHIA, Pa., September 21.—It was certain that the pendulum was going to swing here In Philadel- Phia after four years of “reform” and independent rule, but not even the most astute of the political leaders ever dreamed what ‘the force of the reaction would be. The *“organization” cent primaries an unprecedented victory. When the first returns be- gan to come in it seemed that the regulars had routed the independents within the republican fold by some- thing like 100,000 votes. But all day Wednesday the totals continued to &well until at last it is shown that the organization’s sweep amounts to ptore than 2 Even this does not tell the whole story.

Its opportunities for both 0od- and evil are unprecedented. hiladelphia is to have another spell of organization government. It is all too evident that it was tired of the other kind. In a consideration of the the city’s vote. on the pros, Gov. Pinchot, itmust be rem % of dourse, tha} he neven has counted upon much_strength here. In the primary of 1922 he lost Philadelphia by something like 90,000 votes. What the soliticians are counting upon, however, is the psychology, of the “machine’s” victory over the re- form element, not alone in this state but in the neighboring states, where efforts recently have been mide to amalgamate the so-called liberal ele- ments of political life into a solid phalanx _against the rising tide of sumptuary legisiation. Indepe: Explata. The independents are explaining the machine sweep by statements to the effect that they never were satis- fied with the independent nominee, Powell Evans, and that the jnd pendent campaign was bungled “from the start. Mr. Kvans none the less Lhad the active support of Mayor J. Hampton Moore, who defeated the or- ganization in the primaries four years ago by less than 2.000 votes. The women of Philadelphia voted for the first time in a mayoralty pri- mary. The independent and reform elements counted largely upon them. But they made a poor showing and demonstrated once’ more that when a political tide sets in a certain di- rection it carries the woman voters right along with the men. Politi- cians in the western states, where - | women have voted for many years, always have contended that the woman vote made no difference. It was swayed by the same emotions and re: ngs as the male vote. The women who ran for council on the independent ticket were snowed under. The Philadelphia newspapers today are warning the victors in their cele- bration that they must not accept their success as llcense for the “con- tractors’ eombine” to run amuck with the half billion dollars of tax money they will have to spend in the next jtented,” as ha# be oha: four years. The papers insist that Philadelphia is not “corrupt and con- ree, and will not submit to a‘thralidom of crooked misrule while there is a fighting chance for liberty and gopd government.” Back of this is a threat of & coall- | tion against the republicans at th election, but such talk is not yet re. garded as seriof —_— SEEKS OGLETHORPE BODY LONDON, September 21.—Dr. Thorn- well Jacobs, president of Oglethorpe University, is again seeking permi: QUIET IN MOROCCO.
