the enthusiastic support of that cle-

Hon. William Hale Thompson. one
of the Republican candidates for mem
bership of the Board of County Com
missioners. is beyond all doubt one of
| the strongest men named on either
| ticket. Mr.. Thompson Is Il Chicago
product of whom Chicago Is justly
proud. "A gentleman of brains and cd
uca,ion. an athlete. n business man,
he is in all respects typical Chicago
an. Mr.. Thompson's great business In
terests. principally i'm the real estate
line. make large demands upon his time
and attention. but he has nevertheless
found opportunity to give some Of his
time to public affairs. He was Il mem
her of the City Council for some years,
and It IL no cxaggeration to say the
records prove that he was one of the
best Aldermen who ever served the
city of Chicago.
Broad gagged in politics as in all
other matters. Mr.. Thompson has thou.
sands of personal friends in the ranks
of the Democratic party. who will east
their votes for him. though he IL rec
ognized as loyal member of the Re-
publican party. 1t is a safe prediction
to say that Mr. Thompson will un-
dOubtedly run so far ahead of his ticket
as to convince the party managers that
he will be the logical candidate for
Mayor next spring.
Mr.. Thompson as the Republican
candidate for Mayor next year would
, have a splendid and gratifying oppor-
tunity to mctaphorically mop the
earth with his friend Carter Harri-
son. something which he. would Ger.
tainly do with ease and dispatch. Mr..
: Thompson Is beyond any doubt ono
" the coming men of his party In this
county and state.
