}. HAM LEWIS FOR MAYOR
Make Big Ram In Chicago For GOV.
ernor.


CHICAGO. Aug. 1.-THE record
breaking run OF James Hamilton
Lewis. former Washington congress
man, for governor in Chicago and
Cook county, is the theme Of con-
versation by all the citizens and the
bewiIderment of the politicians.
Colonel Lewis personally declined to
become an active candidate. He made
not one speech In this city or county
in his behalf. The three speeches he
made upstate were limited to ratlfl-
cation Of Denver convention nomi-
nees.
When former Vice President
Adali Stevenson was brought out and
Roger Sullivan. national committee
man, and the other bosses sent out
orders to beat Lewis in Chicago, then
Lewis declared war between himself
and the bosses.
The result was that Lewis carried
every ward in Chicago. including the
saloon districts, the factory wards
and the aristocratic Lake Shore drive,
where Lewis lives. He swept the
lake district and carried the county
precincts in all with a vote OF 49,
600 against 10000 for his highest
opponent. He was opposed by seven
candidates.
II was estimated that two OF them,
Gunther. the merchant millionaire.
and former Vice President Steven
sons committee. spent $1,000 in
this city and county to defeat Lewis.
The result unquestionably names
Lewis as the next mayor OF Chicago.

At a meeting of the members Of

e. B. Aldrich as first lieutenant and
First Sergeant Roland oliver as sec
ond lieutenant. In each case the

company will be asked to recommend
a successor and at that time the ac-
tion taken last night will be ratified
by the company. The appointments

the contest between the 'non-coms'

regarded as most satisfactory.

to the construction of the cemetery
water system will be brought up and
it is possible that the contract for
