to the window. Jim Berry had charge
of the Parker forces in this ward.
Over in the Twelfth, where the greatest
trouble had been anticipated, the scene was
fairly tranquil up until s o'clock. John
Scanlon marshaled the Hearst forces there
and claimed TO be carrying things his own
way. but the organization workers showed
they were casting three votes to one for
the Hearst slate.
The Hearst people had made some claims
OF what they would do in the Sixth, but
they failed TO make good, owing, they de-

They said that man named Miner. who
had their supply OF tickets for that ward,
was run over by a street car on his way TO
the polls and all the tickets were lost. In
any event they did not have any tickets,
and such Hearst votes as were cast were
ones that were written with pencil or pen
on slips of paper. The Parker people
claimed when the polls were closed that
not over twenty-five or thirty Hearst votes
had been cast out of total of over 500.
ISSUE CLEARLY DRAWN.
Where contests were made the issue was
clearly drawn between Parker and Hearst.
The tickets that had been prepared by the
organization forces of which Thomas Tag
gart is the commander-in-chief were hand
ed out as Parker states. while the other
tickets were called the Hearst states. In
the Tenth ward the Hearst people headed
their ticket with the line, "Anti-snap Dele
gates" In this ward also the Hearst peo-
pie attempted coup by placing the names
of two OF the candidates for delegates on
the Parker slate on their slate-JOhn
Barmfuhrer and John Curran. Both BARN.
fuhrer and Curran declared they had not
authorized the placing of their names or
the Hearst slate and that they were Par
ker men. Former City Clerk John Geckler
headed the Hearst slate in this ward and
handled a large force of lieutenants.
II was noticeable in three or four wards
that the Hearst forces had more active
workers than they mustered voters, as sew
eral OF their workers were imported and
could not vote. Scores of men were busy
all over the city distributing copies of
Hearst's Chicago American to all who came
near the voting places. The papers were
carted about over the city in carriages and
express wagons and were scattered broad
cast by the thousand. The feature in the
paper 10 which the distributors called at
tention was a story on the front page, un-
der faring headline in which an attempt
remarkable victory in Kansas and that the
Kansas delegation to the national conven-
tion would be solid for HIM.
HEARST MONEY PLENTIFUL.
That the Hearst workers had an abun-
dance of money was shown by the number
of carriages and wagons with which they
were supplied TO haul voters TO the polls,
by the unprecedented business done by the
saloons in the vicinity of the polls. and by
the mot how much we offering, but
how much do you want manner they went
after votes. The organization crowd
claimed they had good evidence that the
Hearst people put out not less than s. 800

little returns from a large part of this
sum. as their own men had been instructed
to take the Hearst money and spend it

The Parker people were by no means
poverty-stricken and destitute of the sin
ews OF war. They had plenty of means TO
voters. and they also contributed gener-
ously TO the receipts of the saloons.
