Kahn's nomination at stake, the ma
chine won 1t by Ar. The forty-first
was safely in the league column in May
by Sc votes. the machine took it away
Tuesday by a majority of 373.
The league maiorities in its two ban
ner districts. the thirty-fourth and
tlirty-ninth, suffered slight decreases
Tuesday. In May the league majority
in the thirty-fourth was SO; Tuesday it
dropped to 81. Similarly the majority
for the thirty-ninth declined from SIS to
545. These are insignificant losses and
show In reality the steadiness with
which the league is holding its own in
these districts.
In the thirty-sixth district, for years
regarded as Fred Egzers pocket bor-
ough, the league made considerable in
roads In May Eggers' majority was
255: the leaguers cut il to 141 Tuesday.
The change of SO votes switched the
forty second from the machine to the
league column and brought about a con-
dition of interesting possibilities. for
there will be a deadlock between the
thirtieth and forty-second for the sena-
toria1 nomination

DOODLE DEES DISAPPEAR
independence Leaguers Rapidly
Evaporating Into Thin Air

What is becoming of the independent
leaguers? Into what thin air are the
doodle dees dissolving? In the May
primary the doodle dees polled a mag
nificent total of 27S votes in the entire
city. On Tuesday the followers Of
Hearst and Hisgen mustered at the
polls only 1913 strong.
What has. become Of the s5 doodle
dees who voted the INDEPENDENCE ticket
in May but deserted it on the eve of
presidential election? Two of the
missing ones may be accounted for on
the theory that Jung Mon Sang of
Washington alley and Bing Got of Goat
island have tired of the personally con-
Quoted party and have plunged into the
real excitement of Chinese politics But
for the remaining 83 no theory is avail
able unless they have decided that a
political novelty will not stand the
strain OF more than one election.
Unless figures lie the doodle dee party
is dying by eighties At the next cleo
ton il is due to poll about 100 votes
After that the party and its presi-
Dental candidate will disappear forever,
contamination devoutly to be wished

tiplication of parties makes a lot Of
useless work

self TO carry them into effect If it is put
into power.

choice which is in accordance with the
best interests of yourself and Of all the
people If the men of labor and their
friends fail 20 do their part they will
