the situation when it joins issues with
one of the other democratic factions.
Just where influence will be thrown
in the present fight is not yet clear.
There Is much reason to believe that
it will not be for Mayor Dunno to
succeed himself Neither have the
Hearst followers much love for Harri-
son.
There are at least five factions
among the democrats and how the full
power of the party can be concentrat-
ed on any one man, either at the prim-
airy or at the election, seems difficult
question to answer.
Because of this situation among the
democrats the republicans are more
hopeful than for many years that they
will be able to elect mayor. This
hope is shown by the number of re-
publican leaders who have express
ed willingness to accept the nomi-
nation.
The most likely candidate appears
to be Fred A. Busse, present postmast-
er of Chicago and political power in
several city wards. Mr.. Busse is an
avowed candidate for the honor and
many leaders of the party, especially
those who have been known as poll
clans, have openly expressed their
preference for him. Busse owes his
appointment as postmaster to Sena-
tor Cullon, which fact does not tend
to strengthen him in the favor of Gov
ernor Deneen and the state admins
tration. But this phase of the matter
is not expected to cut such an import
ant figure in the contest as It might
have done a year or so ago.
There is growing evidence that the
men who have been running the party
machinery are not to be allowed to
dictate the nomination for the mayor
atty this time, regardless of the wish

In their opinion, to give Rockefeller
the right to direct the disposition of
the fund to such institutions, within
the province of the board, as they may
deem proper. The elder Rockefeller
is not a member of the board. but his
son is member, and active direction
doubtless will come from him. The
board voted to accept the gift and, in
appreciation, drafted letter to the
elder Rockefeller.
