CHICAC0DEMOCRATS VICTORIOUS
Judge Dunno and the Entire City Ticket, Except
City Attorney. Elected by Maores of
From 10000 10 $4,000.
"P0P" ANSON WILL Be THE NEXT CITY CLERK

Chicago, April 4.--One of the most
exciting municipal campaighs In the
history of Chicago ended tliis' after
noon in victory for the Democratic
ticket headed by Judge Edward b.
Dunno, whose slogan ,thfodgbout mas
been immediate municipal owner
ship of local traction faciliiess The
tonly successful member Of the Repub-
lican ticket is believed at midnight to
be John f. Smulski, candidate for city
attorney. The defeat Of HIS Demo-
cratic opponent, w b. MoaiS, IS
thought to be unquestionable. ev-
Judge DUNES plurality will be
about 24.0O0 over John M. Harlan, his
Republican opponent and that of the
other successful Democratic candidates
run down to 10000.
The aldermanic contest in the 80
wards of the city has been so compli-
Gated both by the traction issue and
local ward troubles and there has been
an unusual amount of scratching, but
at midnight 1t is believed the new
council will stand 81 Republicans and
33 Democrats, thus leaving Mayor
Dunno with an opposition confronting
his new plans. In some strong Repub-
lican wards the Democratic alderman
ic candidates have been successful
while the reverse is true in some old
line Democratic wards.
The greatest surprise has been the
remarkable falling off in the Prohibl-
ZIONIST and Socialist votes.
The latest returns give Collins, the
Socialist candidate for mayor 20323
votes; whereas his party polled nearly
10000 votes last November. Oliver
Stewart, the Prohibitionist candidate
for mayor, is credited with 1880 votes
as against $4,000 for the partys candi-
date last fall.
All this is attributed to the traction
issue. For several years this has been
kept before the public mind in most
strenuous manner. and since 1t has
been brought into court within the
past year in connection with the ques-
tion of the renewal of certain fran
