A Big "Slush Fund"

William l.. O'Connell, Mayor DUNES
manager said last night:
Mayor Dunno and the other candidates
on the democratic ticket will be elected
by pluralities ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000. Notwithstanding the fact that the
united corporate interests of the city have
been exerting their influence and contribut-
ing their money for the republican ticket,
] confidently believe that the honest, law
abiding, liberty loving citizens of Chicago
Will elect Mayor Dunno and the other dem
OCratiC candidates by the pluralities /
have mentioned.
The republican managers intend to
use the enormous 'Slush fund they have
gathered from certain sources in an eff
fort to corrupt the voters election day;
but | feel confident that their efforts will
he futile. as the people well know that the
opposition To Mayor Dunno by certain cor
purations is due to his firm stand against
corporate greed.
Mayor Dunno said: From the thou
sands of letters | have received from
citizens of all political faiths. and from
the reports that come from every ward in
the city of Chicago, l confidently believe
that l will be reelected by a plurality
ranging at the least from 10000 to
$4,000
Hearst Hurting Dunno.
The indications last night were that,
though the mayor might win, his
municipal ownership policy would be
defeated. The ordinances granting
the traction companies franchise
for twenty years condition that
the city receives 5 per cent of the
net receipts. and can take over the trac-
ton companies at any time upon payment
of $50, 600 900 and other sums expended in
rehabilitation will meet with public APP
proval.
The police department is working as
unit for the mayor. Several democratic
aldermen who control the situation in
their respective wards are not working for
Dunno because Hearst has caused indie
pendence League men to be nominated
against them. In the first ward "Hinky
Dink" Kenna is lighting Hearst and in the
eighteenth John Brennan is doing the
same. Both wards are heavily democratic
but IL is not expected that the mayor will
get the full democratic strength.

No New Epithets.

No new epithets Were applied for the
reason that the supply had been about ex-
hausted. but the old ones were as usual
hurled back and forth. Chicago has never
known a political campaign in which in
vective and vituperation have played SO
prominent a part.
The claims by the campaign managers
are unchanged, each predicting the election
of his candidate by at least 10000 Numer-
Gus straw votes have been taken by the
papers which are favorable to Busse, and
they show the election of the republican
candidate by a plurality of anywhere from
30. 600 to 20 900. The papers supporting
Mayor Dunno have taken no straw vote.
Mayor Dunno spent the greater part of
today in automobile going to various
meetings throughout the city. He made
many speeches. and was at all places re-
ceved with enthusiasm by his followers
Mr. Busse. who has been confined to his
apartment during the campaign because of
injuries recently received in an accident
on the Pennsylvania road, left his room
today for the first time and received the
prominent men of his party i'll his parior.
He and they expressed themselves as abso-
lutely certain of coming success.
But the republicans, despite their claims,
are in doubt. Though they have made two
polls they are in doubt over the swing of
the great labor vote. Gov. Deneen, VINO
was pressed into the fight in the last
have a candidate in George Keep. ii is
said that the majority of the 10000 social
list votes will go for Dunno and in favor of
his traction policy.
In making the canvass and estimates,
Mayor Dunno has been credited with all
the doubtful votes. including those of per-
sons who could not be seen by the can
yassers and who were non-committal.
1t is expected that 80 per cent of the
voters will go to the polls on Tuesday.
This would result in total vote of $4,000.
and il is upon this basis that the foregoing
estimates are made.

business men in all parts of the city will
