structions from New York. Hearst pa
pers claimed thruout the campaign
that Mayor Dunno was acting for the
best interests of Chicago and 1t was
therefore, duty to support him. Inc

Busse was elected by $4,000 plurallty
over Dunno Later these figures were
cut down and Busse apparently lost
ground thruout the night. retaining all
the time, however strong and sure
plurality.
Mayor Dunno abandoned hope within
two hours after the polls had closed He
received the returns Mt his home sur

Busse Issues Statement.
Mr.. Busse, who has for some time
been postmaster of this city, was con-
fined to his home during the campaign
because of injuries received In re-
cent wreck on the Pennsylvania rail-
road. When the result was beyond all
doubt he gave out the following state
ment
II am, of course greatly delighted at
the success of the republican ticket. It
shows that the people of this city are
in favor of immediate improvements of
our present street car systems, and
that they >indorsed fully the ordinances
passed by the city council over the
veto of Mayor Dunno.
More than anything else the vote
in Chicago today means that the SEN
timent of the majority of the people
in the second largest city in the Unit
ed States Is opposed to William r.
Hearst and all the isms' that he has
sought to thrust upon the community.
1t is clean cut victory for sane. safe
iand conservative institutions.
The people of Chicago have DEM
onstrated that they are to be trusted
with the settlement of all great aues-
Itions such as have confronted them in
this election. They have shown that
they cannot be humbugged. I was
confident from the beginning that
right would prevail-that the good
sense justice and fairness of the COM
munty would resent in a forcble man
ner the outburst of an outsider who
had his own personal ambitions en-
tirely in view.
"'Fhes fight for the Improvement of
the local traction system has been go
ing on for twelve years, and today's
election puts the people in sight of
the promised land l shall make every
effort to bring about improved condi-
ttions as rapidly as possible. I have not
! been able to take a personal part in
the campaign. and regret that it, at
any time, assumed personal char
acter I do not believe that either side
had anything to gain by making a
fight of that descriptions"

days election show that Busse, the re-
publican candidate for mayor, was
