presidential election last fall by
heavy plurality.
Pledge for City Ownership.
Judge Dunno last night interpreted
the result Of the election as the great
est victory municipal ownership
ever won in this country He salo
that party lines and the personalities
of candidates were entirely forgotten,
that Chicago has very plainly declared
for municipal ownership OF pubic
utilities, and he pledged himself to do
all he could to bring that about.
Old "Pap" Arson Elected.
Adrian C. Arson, known everywhere
as Pap Arson, the old time popular
baseball captain, was elected city
clerk. His campaign was feature OF
the contest.
One of the incidents Of the campaign
was Judge DUNES record as father,
there being 13 children in his family.
Arson has an almost equally meritor-
GUS record in family matters. His pop
ularity personally undoubtedly was a
potent help to the democrats, who
seemed to hugely appreciate Anson's
campaign statistics designed to prove
that the democracy at least in Chicago
are the original and only genuine OPP

was announced she would do, but passed
