ice and all.
Among the two men on the Republic
an end of the campaign who are work.
ing overtime even thus early I'm the
campaign are Hon. Fred a. Busse. can.
didate for State Treasurer. and Hon.
Sherman Boutell. candidate for Con.
gress In the Ninth District. Both Mr..
Busse and Mr.. Boutell are indefatignble
workers, the former In the line of or
gnnization and the latter ns a stump
orator.
North Side Republicans are splendid
ly organized, and the campaign leaders
expect. as a result of the active work
Of these two gentlemen. that the North
Side will roll up big figures for the Re.
publican ticket this time.
or course Mr.. Busse IL not confining
his efforts to his home wards, but fire.
quently makes forays into the country
with excellent results.
Political gOssips have 1t that the best
thing the Democrats can do Is to keep
Mayor Harrison rs much as possible In
the background during the pending
campaign.
1t Is argued that Mayor Harrison
earned the enmity Of the trade union
lists and labor organizations during ra
recent labor troubles; that the Chicago
Federation Of Labor practically CEN
sured him not long ago, and that his
prominence In the campaign would
cause the loss Of a big percentage Of the
labor vote to the ticket.
Hon. NJ. A. De Lany will undOubted.
ly be triumphantly elected to the SEN
ate In the Thirty-first Senatorial
District. Mr.. De Lany Is running on
the Democratic ticket, but owing to his
excellent standing In the community he
will receive the votes Of Republicans as
well hs Democrats who believe In safe
and reliable men In public office.
