was reelected Mayor of Chicago to-day
by a total vote OF 1924, against l07, ,30a
for Zina b. Carter, the Republican candi-
date, and 45,40l for John +. Atgeld. the
Independent Democratic candidate. Har-
rison's plurality 396lo.
The Democrats have elected their can
didates for the town offices in the north
and west towns, the Republicans carry
ing the south town, although the final
count may take this from them. The re-
turns at midnight, however. indicate that
| they have a safe majority.
| DEMOCRATS HOLD COUNCIL.
The vote from the wards shows. as far
as 1t has been counted, that the Republi-
cans have elected fourteen aldermen and
the Democrats nine. The City Council has
been composed of forty-fve Democrats
and twenty-three Republicans, and the
Democrats will. without doubt, retain a
working majority.
The election was entirely upon local
issues, no element of national politics en-
tering into the campaign.
REMARKABLE CHANGES.

the Republican vote. particularly in the
| strong Republican wards. where a shift
ing to the Democratic candidate was very
marked.
