I send you annexed comparative table Of the
majorties for Clay and Polk in 1914, and the ma.
jortes for Hampton and McCandless at the late
election for Congress in Allegheny county-the
great manufacturing district Of Pennsylvania.


II will be seen, by reference to the table, that
Clay had majority over Mr.. Polk in the cities of
Pittsburg and Allegheny, and the manufacturing
districts adjoining them, ofl19s and in the sgricul
tural districts Of the county ll42-makng in all
2340 majority for Clay in the district.


Previous to the late election, the wings asserted
and proclaimed that in consequence of the repeal of
the tariff Of Is42, Allegheny county would give
Hampton majority of 5000 over McCandless, the
democratic candidate for Congress. In order to
produce this result the manufacturers were induced
to lend themselves 10 the whg politicians, and by
ntimidatons, threats Of reduction of wages, pic
lures Of ruin, &c, &C., many Of the operatives in
these manufacturing establishments were consrain-
ed to vote against the democratic candidate for Con-
eress. atD HtE# Hssaai slr
