MUNICIPAL owNERsHIP's LOSS,
Great Falling Off in the Vote in One
Year in Chicago.

Year in Chicago.
Chicago.-An analysis of the cleo
ton returns shows large falling off
in the vote for municipal ownership
as compared with the vote year ago,
when Mayor Dunno was elected. A
year ago one public policy question on
the little ballot was: "Shall Council
pass any ordinance granting a fran
ehise to any street railway company"
The vote was, NO" 152,135; yes, :"
59,213; the total vote being 211, 14S.
Those favoring municipal ownership
voted in the negative, apd had ma
jority of 93,122 on small vote. At
the late election, on a 231 600 vote,
they are only able to score a majority
Of 1880 votes for the $T5,000000 or
dinanee
The Socialists were jubilant over
the fact that their total vote reached
27,715, an increase Of 1882 ever the
vote which they polled last year. The
City Council stands thirty for munic-
ipal ownership, thirty-two against, and
eight doubtful. There are thirty-six
Democrats and thirty-four Republi-
cans.
