''If there Is to be another charter
convention It should be elective, rep.
resenting the people instead Of the
office holders. Such peoples con-
vention would present to the Legisla.
ture bill that would speak with the
voice of Chicago citizens as expressed
today"
When It is taken into consideration
that Charter Convention Harrison's
friends supported the anti.personal
liberty charter with might and main,
a perusal Of the above must awaken
some memories.
The United Societies made their
debut in public life when they made
their great fight against the Harri.
son charter, foisted on the public by
a convention Of which Chronic
Candidate Harrison was leading
member. Harrison's present lieuten.
ants almost to a man fought for
the adoption Of this Charter as every.
body knows. How the United So.
cieties or any portion Of them can
be fooled into supporting man who
helped make the high tax and anti.
personal liberty features of this
would.be charter and who never OBJ.
jected to anything bad about 1t, is
past finding out.

Joseph F. Haas, former county
clerk, secretary of the John F. Smul.
ski campaign committee. predicts
certain victory for Mr.. smulski. "The
rank and file Of the republican party
have implicit faith In Mr.. Smulski.
This was shown in the way they got
busy and rolled up 10,225 names on
his nomination petition--far In ex'
cess of that recorded by any other
candidate. Mr.. Smulski Is practically
the only pan upon whom all the fac
tions in the party can unite. He has
a reputation for square dealing and
personally Is liked by all the party
leaders. He has record back Of him
as city attorney and state treasurer
which has caused the voters to place
reliance in him. We are sweeping
forward in a wave of popular favor
which cannot fall to win."

~aA
Former Mayor Dunno, who Is a can
didate for mayor, Is out with strong
platform and a red-hot roast OF the
aristocrat Harrison. who Is q chronic
candidate for mayor.
Judge Dunno calls attention to the
fact that Harrison fed to California
as soon as Dunno beat him at the prl
maries in fair battle and refused
to support the Democratic candidate
after the Democrats had kept him In
office for eight years himself.
| John Minwegen. who was president
of the Board of Local improvements
under Mayor Harrison fought Mayor
Dunno tooth and toe nail in the Twen
| ty-first Ward and was rewarded with
an appointment on the Board of Local
improvements by the Republicans.
At least two of the present Harri
son leaders accepted money and fav
Ors for fighting Dunno.
All of the Harrison lieutenants sup
ported the Republican ticket and up
posed Dunno. the regular Democratic
nominee.
Harrison himself sulked, refused tc
support Dunno and went off to Call
