Republicans Have Complete
Victory In Chicago

statement tonight in which he said:
II was certain that the people would
not back up the attempt OF the bosses
to force me from office. Coming as 1t
does. straight from the hands Of the
people, in spite of the opposition of the
bosses and machines, my election is
peculiarly gratifying.
THE district attorneys office will go
on for four years more under my di-
rection, for the same system has pre-
vailed for the past four years.
There is nothing more to be said
save that 1t was a test of strength
between corrupt bosses on one side
and an aroused public opinion on the
other. There is no trifing with the
people when they have been aroused,
and my election is a lesson that the
bosses will not soon forget
Mayor Mcclellan, upon learning that
he had been reelected, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
THE result of the election shows me
more plainly than ever my duty to the
people. with Gods help l will dis
charge it to the best of my ability. L
shall keep every promise made before
the election"
Mr. WINS said early in the evening:
II really have little to say except that
l am the happiest candidate that you
ever saw"

Eighteenth districts and found that bal
lots that had been counted at o'clock
had not been officially reported. As
