FRANCHISES THE
CHICAGO ISSUE
Great Fight on Today in the
Windy City.
HARRISON DEFENDS
PEOPLES INTERESTS
Is Opposed by Hanecy. Cham
piOn Of Railway Companies.

Chicago, April This city will hold
tomorrow one Of the most important
municipal elections in its history. The
chief issue is the granting of franchises
to the street railway companies whose
rights during the next two or three de-
cades are to be decided during the in
coming mayors term of office.
Mayor Harrison has made a record
against the granting of long franchises
and he and his followers assert that
Judge Eibridge Hanecy, the Republican
nominee, is favorab BILE to extensive
grants to the street car COMPANIES. The
republicans deny this with great We
hemence, and declare that Hanecv will
give the city a much cleaner admins
tration than Harrison, both in politics
and in the streets, and that the irregu-
IaritleS which they charge against
Mayor Harrison will not be seen under
Hanecy. The campaign has been hot
on both sides.
Haneey is backed by the Republican
machine headed by Congressman Lori
mer, which has dominated the last
three Republican city conventions and
lost the last two city elections.
Ex-Governor Altgeld is opposed to
Harrison, but his opposition is expected
10 carry less weight than two years
ago, when he was an independent Dem
ocratic candidate opposed to Harrison.
