HARRISON BY 5000
Re- elected Mayor by Greatly Re-
duced Plurality Over stewart-coun-
Gil Remains Republican.

Chicago, April 8.Carter II. Harri-
son was elected mayor of Chicago for
the fourth time. his majority by un-
official count over Graeme Stewart, the
republican candidate, being 6,94s. The
total vote was Harrison 1923, Stew
art 1895; Cruice. independent labor,
|9,999: Breckon socialist, 11.212; Haines,
prohibitionist, 2,2s4.
In the last mayoralty election the to-
tai vote was Harrison, democratic, l56,-
756; Panecy, republican, 12S.413; Hoyt,
prohibitionist, 1928; Collins, socialist,
1884.
The early returns were in favor OF
Stewart. and at one time he was 1000
ahead, but the later returns cut down
his plurality steadily and the republican
leaders in private conversation adj
mitted Stewards defeat by about g.
900.
In the first precinct Of the 21st ward.
in which both Harrison and Stewart
reside, the vote was Harrison Al, Stew
art 101 In the last mayoralty election
the vote was Harrison 50, Hanecy %.
The chief issue in the campaign was
the traction question. both factions fa-
voring municipal ownership of rail-
roads. Stewart advocated an immedi-
ate Improvement of conditions, making
the best terms possible with the COM
panies. Harrison recommended de-
lay until the city had obtained what
1T desired from the companies
Mayor Harrison said Il regard the
present election as less of a personal
victory for myself than as victory
for municipal ownership-a victory
which should lead to the development
of public ownership Of national as well
as municipal utilities. Partisan lines
were cast to great extent but the
result is at the same time substan-
tial endorsement of my administra-
ton"
The republicans elected John f..
Smulski for city attorney by $500 plur-
ality and Fred C. Bender for city clerk
by 300. The democrats elected Ernest
Hummel for city treasurer by 21,100
The new city council will be 80 re-
publicans, 33 democrats and one inde-
pendent democrat. The result in one
ward is still in doubt. The old coun-
ell was 80 republicans, 80 democrats
and one independent.
