Munio;pa, Ownership the Issue.

Municipal Ownership the Issue.
Chicago, April 4. The municipal
election to be held here today will in
a large measure decide the street rail-
way question which for the past two
years has been the chief issue in all
local elections. Street railway fran
chises estimated worth s2000,000,000
are at stake. The question this year
has simmered down to immediate mu-
nicipal ownership, under Judge Ed
ward F. Dunno, the democratic candi-
date, or a tentative arrangement with
the traction companies providing for
ultimate municipal ownership, under
John NJ Harlan, the republican nomin-
ee. There are a number of other inn
portant issues to be decided, but all
have been lost sight of, owing to the
interest that has been wrought in the
main issue. Both Mr.. Harlan and
Judge Dunno have made a strenuous
campaign of the city, and last night
declared their confidence in being
elected at the polls today.
The. republican managers confident
ly assert that John Maynard Harlan
will be elected mvayor by plurality
of 10000, while the democratic mana
gers declare that Judge Edward F.
Dunno will win by $4,000 to $4,000.
Dunne is the favorite in the bet
ting at to 8.

Supporters of Both Harlan and

to Get Out the Vote
REPUBLICAN VOTING is SLOW
Democrats Claim That the Outlook in
the Morning Was Favorable to Their
candidate-Unique Methods EN-
ployed by the Dunno Men to Arouse
Interest of Voters.

| Chicago, April Affection day open
ed with cloudy skies and chilly
northwest wind. Democratic enthu-
siam developed increased hope as the
balloting progressed. The basis was
the slow voting in some republican
wards. The republicans admitted the
slow voting was against them. but
ridiculed the claims that the demo-
Gratis would carry any wards normally
| republican.
| Democratic and republican workers
| kept UP lively pace in the Twenty
| first ward, the home Of both John M.
Harlan, republican candidate for may
or and, Mayor Harrison. The result
there was said to be decidedly In doubt.
Harrison in the last municipal election
carried the ward, but the democrats
conceded it would be hard for Dunno,
democrat, for mayor, to poll large
vote in the ward, handicapped by Har-
HANS residence there. In the first ward,
Iusually controlled by the democratic
Ialderman, Michael Kenna. Familiarity
known as "Hinky Dink," novel meth
cd was utilized to get the lodging
house voters to the polls. Squads OF
men armed with punches Of cannon
crackers were sent along the streets
and soon there was din sufficient to
discount genuine artillery. The inmates
of lodging houses were speedily organ
lied into platoons of four and voted
as rapidly as possible. The workers,
\ however, seemed to be unusually eau
tious in marshaling this class of vot-
ers. Kenna declared the colored resi-
| dents and Italians, who usually vote
| the republican ticket were supporting
Dunno. A bell such as is used on cat
, tie an agricultural districts, was used
Ito arouse voters in the Twenty-1ourth
ward. The bell was rung in the hall
ways and when the voters appeared
they were told not to forget to vote.
A heavy vote was cast during the
morning in most of the wards. The
leaders OF beth parties continue to
claim victory. There is apparently lit
| tie scratching being done.
