CHICAGO. April s.-The mayoralItU
election to-day resulted in a decisive
Victory for the Democratic party. itS
candidate. Carter Harrison, having
more votes than all the other candI-
dates combined.
At midnight the available AEure0
gave Sears. Republican, $4,000; Harri-
son, Democrat. $4,000; Harlan, Ind,
72,OO; HessIng, Ind, $4,000. The Demo-
Gratis made clean sweep OF all the
town Offices In the west town and north
town, and probably in the south town.
also. although the Republicans have .
fighting chance to get an assessor IN
that part of the city.
or the thirty-four alderman, the re-
turns point to the election OF twenty
six Democrats, four Republicans and
four Independents Three OF these in-
dependents are Democrats, who went
upon the ticket by petition.
Harrison gained heavily in the ban
ner Republican wards, carrying the
Thirty-fourth by 5,0l9 against 1921 for
Harlan and 3,434 for Sears. This ward
gave Mckinley q majority OF 5000 last
fall. The Third, Fourth and Twelfth
wards, always Republican strongholds,
were also carried by Harrison.
It was apparent at midnight that
Harrison had beaten Sears, the regular
Republican candidate, by from 5000 to
5000 votes.
AZ the last mayoraity election, swift's
vote was li3.4O7, against lO2.24 for
Wenter, Democrat In the presidential
election Mckinley had 2O0747, against
1876 for Bryan.
The feature OF the election was tho
strength shown by Harlan. He ran sec
ond to Harrison, and although an in-
dependent with no organization behind
him, he secured more votes than the
regular Republican candidate, Judge
Nathaniel Sears One thing that help
ed Harlan greatly was that Sears was
looked upon as being the nominee OF t1A
Republican machine, which has grown
unpopular in the ranks OF the local Re-
publican party. He drew some woes
from the Democratic party, but not
many, the main part OF his strength
coming from the Republican voters.
The vote Of HsBinE was largely from
the Germans and came from both par.
ties. He was the nominee of the Cola
Democrats. although he went before the
people on business mems platform.
The Democrats had an excellent or
ganIEatIon. their campaign was hRnd-
led well. and as the Republican ranlEs
were hOpe1eSsly split, the result was
never In much doubt, although Harlan,
SIaarr and uAsing MI claimed that they
could mot be beaten The leaders OF
the Republican machine were not quite
as hopeful as they claimed to be, and It
is said on excellent authority that Sears
was quietly traded for Roy 9. west the
Republican candidate for city attorney.
The campaign was fought for the
most part on strictly local Issues, al
though the Democrats had a GttVee
plank In their platform.
