THE CHICAGO ELECTION

For several reasons the result of the
mayoralty election in Chicago will
carry no surprise. Chicago is normally
Democratic in a local election. A popu-
lar candidate like Carter Harrison
could carry it against anybody; and,
other conditions being equal, no Re-
publican could hope for an election as
mayor. At the same time, the party
issue sank to second place in this con-
test, and the natural advantage Of
Democracy was reinforced by the pres
ence of one great overshadowing is
sue.
Chicago has revolted, as every city
In the country is bound sooner or later
to do, against the corrupt rule of the
management Of it's street railway sys-
TENS. The provocation has been SO
great and the graft so long continued
that the people of Chicago have. un-
wisely as we think. gone to the other
extreme. That is the worst feature Of
paltering and dickering with street rail-
way arrangements. 1t prevents a calm
consideration of the whole question.
forestalls wise action and drives the
public in frenzy of anger and disgust
to an opposite and possibly equally
hurtful course.
The story Of the relation of the trac-
tiOO cop,na niac +o +l,a it,, - ~,1:
is history Of shame. City councils
have been bought over and over again
to grant franchises without proper re-
turns. The legislature of the state was
corrupted into passing a bill authoriz-
Ing the city council to do what the
public had expressly renounced. That
council was owned by the traction
company and was prevented from
carrying out its bargain only by a.
surging crowd of thousands of citizens
around the council chamber carrying
ropes and nooses ready for the mem
bers who, should betray the public.
Meanwhile the owners of street
railway privileges were traficking in
them and putting together unearned
millions.
With such an experience behind IT.
Chicago found its street railway fran
chises beginning to expire and the same
old questions reappearing. All the
shameful experience of the past had
brought it not even a slight improve
ment in service. There is no city even
of the third or fourth class in the world
today that has street railway service
so utterly and ridiculously wretched as
Chicago. Promoters have made their
millions councilmen and legislators
their thousands and the people have
suffered everything. In a community
SO treated it is not strange that the
cry of municipal ownership should
arouse a large and enthusiastic fol-
lowing.
In reality the issue thus stated 1v,s
misleading, and yet the people with
their shrewd common sense perceived
the real facts. Neither party in Chi
cago would realize immediate munic-
ipai ownership, because neither partv
can. The successful. candidate at once
tells the public frankly what 1t knew
before; namely, that it will take MANY
years TO bring about municipal owner
ship. as franchises fall in and as legal
complications are adjusted. The Re-
publican candidate was also pledged TO
municipal ownership, but. only after
an effort should have been made to
sette the street railway service on a
oiiterent basis. What the vote really

Mt. Pleasant Congregational outplay-
ed the Guntou Bows.

The game between the Guntons and Mt.
Pleasant Congregational last evening, on
the White Lot, was practically over after the
second inning. when the latter landed on
Carr for five hits, which, together with two
bases on balls and the sting BaIlenger got,
Melted five runs.
The Guntons succeeded in getting two
runs on one hit in the second mainly
through the errors of Smith at short.
Gunton again scored in the third, after
B1elaski was given a pass and Harding hit
safely.
Brown was substituted to do the twirl-
Ing for Gunton after the second inping. and
was successful in shutting out the Congre-
gational until the seventh. when Stecher
picked out a safe and reached second
on Woodward's throw, scoring on Sebas-
tian's hit.
In the seventh, after Asquith hit Kohler
robbed Price of what seemed to be one for
two bases when by a fine run he grabbed
the sphere for fair. For this feat he was
the recipient of generous applause from all
hands.
In the eighth the Guntons threatened to
score enough to tie. Langley led with

four wide ones. With the bases full AS

SECTION B.
Sixth Presbyterian Defeats Foundry.

At last! Sixth has been travelling pretty
long rough lane, but yesterday afternoon
Guide Wheatley plotted the trailers around
the turn where read the sign, Free Trans
portation: Apply to A. Ogle," and they all
marched round the bend to the tune of
8 to 6.
There were errors in the game, and cost
ly ones, too. but the contest was close and
in doubt even after the fifth inning and
the spectators who came expecting to see
a onesided affair had guess coming the
entire route. Foundry put up its usual
good game, but Sixths performance was
revelation to the fans. The boys could not
pull entirely away from the error habit,
but they redeemed themselves by gingery
fast playing, particularly Wheatley, Hamp-
ton and La Foe many base runners being
nipped in pennant-winntng style. Hampton
slipped up on his first chance, but in the
seventh inning he made a seemingly impos-
sible catch after long, hard run to short
center
good support. He worked hard from the
start, giving his wing full swing and he
kept up his speed to the finish having Il
total strike-out record Of ten. La Foe han
died his swift shoots well. and his snappy.
accurate throwing to bases was one of the
features of the game.
J. OBrien's two-bagger In the first scored
Bryan, who hit between short and second
Hampton. Foundry added another in the
second on a pass to Campbell, who stole
second and scored an w. Donaldson's hit
and Bryans long fly to left. Sixth got EN-
back in Its half on a base on balls to Tin
dali, choice by Hampton and McDonaIds
three-bagger, the latter scoring on a bad
throw to the plate.
Then came the fifth, when Ogle under a
temporary hallucination that he was rail-
road magnate. issued free tickets to Duffy,
Ball and Herbert, the first three men up.
Tindall then dumped one down to Short
stop Donaldson. who threw to Brother
Charlie in time to get Duffy, but the lat
ter bumped into Charles so hard he drop
ped the ball. Hampton tried the same
trick, but this time the brother stunt was
pulled off successfully and Ball was out
at the plate. La Foe then hit a slow teaser
at Pitcher Ogle. which he oyerran In his
haste. and Herbert scored. With the bases
full and two strikes on him. NJ Clark
drove the ball over Bryan's head for
