In the tempestous districts in Chi
eago the vote was large. but in the dis
trlcts where there were no local con-
tests apathy was manifested by The
voters, and in these sections the vote
was so light hat it pulled down the
total for the city to slightly over 120,-
200 out of a total registration OF 375,-
600.
The greatest interest in the election
centered in the vote for United States
senator. n for that of republican con-
gressnsen in the Second and Sixth dis
tricts, located in Chicago. The voters
east their ballots for three candidates
COR United states senator, Senator
