ownership question that strikes me
differently than Il seems TO impress the
mayor OF Chicago. A river cannot be any

present system. and what chance would
the business man, not professional poll
ticians. have against the professional who
was out for the Job.
81 fail 10 see where the party would
have It's politics purified under that
system. II might be So said Acting
Mayor Reynolds, doubtfully shaking his
head, ''but I cannot see IL yet. As I
previously stated i am open TO conviction
though, and shall look for new thoughts
on the subject at tonight's meeting"
