Over Half the Delegates from Cook County
Are Now Assured the Reform
Candidate.
Many People Would Not Be Surprised to See
Cook County Solid for
Him.
Additional Seats Are Being Placed in the Band
Wagon in View Of the
Rush.

Judge Orriu y. Carriers campaign for |
the governorship nomination has pro. |
crossed to the point that both he aud
his political managers are calculating
ON having more than majority OF the
delegates from Cook County. AS u
minimum Of 400 of the $50 delegates
has always been claimed by Judge FL.
bridge Hanccy's lieutenants, the an
nouncement that the Carter supporters
are confidently figuring upon the cleo
ton of 800 or more anti-Hanecy dele
gates has stirred small cyclone III
Republican circles. Neither Judge
Carter nor his campaign committee
make any claims. and will not until the /
aidermanic election Is past and the
goyernorship campaign Is actually I'M
der way. one of the politicians active
in the Carter campaign sized MP the
situation In the different wards as fol.
lows:
Half the delegates in the First ward
will go for Carter. and half In the Sec
ond. In the Third we will make
tight. and might carry primary dis
trict or two. but we are now figuring
on nothing from that district. The
Fourth will 60 for us with the excep-
ton Of Madden's primary district. We
will try To carry that, too. and may
carry IL. but we aren't figuring on 1t.
In the Fifth we are figuring on dis
trict or two. nothing In the sixth.
Ia, h.. GnvAnfh nothing
in the Eighth and nothing In the Ninth.
although we may get something out OF
the last ward. I.orimer's ward, the
Tenth, will have at least half Its dele
gates for Carter. All the Eleventh
south Of the tracks. or about twO-thirSis
the delegates. is safe for us, and there
Is q fighting possibility north OF the
tracks. The Twelfth We will carry,
with the possible exception Of one pri-
mary district. The Thirteenth Will be
solid for Carter.
"UertZ's wards-the Fourteenth. FIJI.
teenth and Sixteenth-will be solid for
Carter. I speak advisedly when say
10. We don't figure on a single dele
gate from the Seventeenth. From the
Eighteenth we will get half the dele
gates. and from the Nineteenth we
aren't figuring on anything. The Tween
tieth. Twenty.tirst, Twenty'second,
Twenty-thIrd. Twenty fourth. Twenty
fifth and Twenty. sixth-the North Side
will he solid for Carter, with the pos
sibie exception of few scattering PR
mary districts. Half the delegates from
the Twenty.seventh will DE for Car
ter and half or twO-thirds from the
Twenty. eighth. As to the Twenty'ninth
and Thirtieth we have no assurances
but have every reason to believe they
will be solid for Carter. The Thirty
first Is already organized for us, and
the organization of the Thirty-second
Is now In shape 81 we can rely Oh
carrying almost every district. IL looks
as IL we would carry every district, bu'
we are not figuring ON one or two. We
have no assurances as 10 the Thirty
third The Thlrty-fourth Il solid fol
Garter, as l. the Thirty-hfth.
"Nonc of these assertions are claims
They simply represent what we are re
lying on from assurances of men whf
know whereof they speak, Organized
expression of the Thr,y-second ward
sentiment X expected In a forcible way
within few days and IL Is predicted
that the showing To be made VIII he
more startling TO the machine than tina
made In the Thirty-iirst and Thirty
fourth wards. II Il known that the
number Of Carter pledges received 81
postal cards from Thlrty.sccond ware
Republicans far exceeds the number
received In the Thlrty-fourth.
States Attorney Deneen IL relied 81
to swing the Twenty-ninth and Thi'
tieth wards into line for Carter or u
least secure an uninstructed delegation
IL transpired that Kit Gould, who's
support OF Carter In the Thlrty-fourti
ward was such surprise, owes his ap
polntment a. attorney for the Stat
Board of Pharmacy to Denecn, and no
10 Tanner, as was always supposed
and It l. assumed that he would no
have taken the step he has wlthOu
consultation with the Thlrtleth ware
leader. Charles W. Vail, the Thirty'iirs
ward boss, who went for Carter, Is als'
credited with being so close To Dcneel
that he would not come out as he die
without that leaders consent.
