Republican at the Judicial election
and in a Congressional fight may be
set down as Republican on account
of the large number of protected III
dustries in the ward. The Thlrtieth
NAV be classed as Republican by 800
and the Twenty-eighth as Republican
bv 200. The country towns in the
district are good for nearly 1000 Re-
publican majority. Cicero alone gave
900 majority at the judicial cleo
ton. The other towns gave 700 ma
iority The Democrats, on these cal
culations, have but about 800 to
spare. A good candidate on the Re
publican side against Mr.. Crafts,
such candidate say as w. j. Camp
bell, who resides at Riverside, in the
district, could easily wipe out this
paltly Democratic majority.
The Democrats have better pros
poets in the Fifth District, consist
ing of the Eleventh, Thirteenth, Six
teenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth
Wards. Three of these wards, the
Eleventh, Thirteenth and Seven
teenth, went Republican last week;
the other two wenU Democratic by
reduced majoritieS. The Democratic
margin was only 773. 1t is not i'm
possible to wipe out this majority,
particularly if the Democrats nomi-
nate Congress man Durborow or Sena-
tor Noonan, as they threaten to do.
The Third District, Bridgeport and
the First, Second and Seventh Wards,
may be conceded to the Democrats,
so also may the Fourth, consisting of
the Eighth Twelfth, Ninth and
Nineteenth Wards. But that is all.
As has been pointed out, the chances
are strongly in favor of the Republi-
cans in the Second and Sixth Dis
trictS, and contest in the Fifth
District would be far from hopeless
But matters are still better in ref
erencc to the Senatorial Districts.
Three which were counted on as
Democratic are now practically con
coded to the Republicans. These are
The Sixth, consisting of the TWEEN
tieth and Twenty-siXth Wards, the
northern part Of the Twenty fifth
Ward, and eastern end of the Fiji
teentb Ward. Swift had nearly ,00(
over Hopkins in this district. Tn
fortunately, the present Democratic
Senator, Bartling, holds over for two
years more in this certainly Republi
can district.
The Nineteenth District, consist
ing of the Thirteenth Ward and tina
part of the Sixteenth Ward west 0
Noble street and southwest of Mil
waukee avenue. This district gave
small Republican majority last Tues
day, which it is likely to increas
next fall.
The Twenty District also CAV
a Republican majority last Tuesda
about 500-and this is more likel
to be increased than diminished mex
November
OF course these three district
would be lost to the Republicans b
unwise nominations, as the margin
are rather narrow. But the Repul
lcans have surely learned from til
past
There is another district whel
the Republicans have tghtin
chance, the Twenty-third who
consists Of the Twenty third, Twel
ty-fOurth, and part of the SiXteent
Ward. The Democrats have m
jority there now, but that is a va
ishing one owing to the large nur
Der of Scandinavians who are bell
naturalized in the Twenty-third al
Twenty-fourth Wards yearly.
The safe Republican districts a
the Second consisting of the Twelf
and the northern part of the Ten
Ward; the Third consisting of
Thirty-1rst, Thirty-third Thirt
fourth Wards, and Calumet; t
Fifth, consisting Of the ThI
Fourth, and Thirty-second Ware
the seventh, consisting Of the we
ern towns Of Cook County:
Eleventh. consisting Of the FOl
tenth, the western part Of the +
tenth Ward, and the northern g
Of the Twenty-eighth Ward
Thus OF fifteen districts seven Z
certainly Republican, an eighth ga
Republican majority last Tuesdt
while another district Is hghti
