CHICAGO HAVING A
LIVELY CAMPAIGN
Mayoralty Contest Entered
Whirlwind Stage Today
This Last Week.
(American News Service)

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 2O.-One of the
liveliest mayorality campaigns that
Chicago has seen In years entered up
on the whirlwind stage today. with
but one week remaining before the
candidates OF the two parties are chos-
en- at the direct primaries. The elec-
tion will take place early in April.
The primaries are attracting vast
amount OF public attention. The can
didate favored by the Republican or
ganiza:ion is John P. Thompson. Be-
sides him the two strongest Republi-.
can candidates are John +. Smulski,
who has long been prominent figure
in Republican city politics, and Alder
man Charles T.. Merriam. Mr.. Mer.
riam is a professor in the University
OF Chicago and writer on political
science. AS head of the so-called Mer-
riam commission he laid bare the
graft in the city administration and
brought about the removal of several
city officials.
The Democratic contest brings to
life again the old rivalry between for
mer Mayor Carter II. Harrison and for
mer Mayor Edward +. Dunno. Mr..
Harrison, who was mayor for several
terms, following in the footsteps of
his father is again candidate on an
independent Democratic ticket.
Ex-Mayor Dunne's campaign has the
slogan. Nobody wants him but the
people" Mr.. Dunno is lawyer. When
mayor he made good record. He
lowered the telephone rates, and, al
though he vetoed seventy-five cent
gas, an ordinance was passed giving
the people a reduction from 81 to S5
cents. ....
Another leading aspirant for the
Democratic nomination is Andrew J.
Graham, who is the choice of Roger
s. Sullivan, member of the Democrat
ic National committee. Mr.. Graham
is a private banker and is credited
with corporation leanings. His oppon.
ents for the mayorality a;lege that he
has spent upwards of 100000 in the
ante-primary campaign.
Among the issues figuring more or
less prominently in the campaign are
graft and vice, cheap gas. lower tel.
ephone rates. subways, and universal
transfers. the smoke nuisance, and
cold cars.

College Park, Md, Nov. 18.-In the
most stubbornIy fought and interesting
game of the season, the Maryland Agri-
cultural College football team was vic
torious over Western Maryland, to 0.
The victory came as a distinct surprise
even to the Aggies' most ardent rooters,
as the visitors have had a very sue
cessfuI season against the best second
airy colleges in the East. 1t was the
Aggies' last game in the intercollegiate
series in Maryland, and they more than
made up for their poor showing in their
other games. They played with that
fighting spirit which has characterized
the Farmers eleven in former years and
which there was such a lack of in their
games the first part OF the season.
To Shiplcy. the plucky little captain
Of the Aggies, should go most of the
credit for the victory, as. aside from
being the chief ground gamer for his
team he scored the only touchdown OF
the game. from which he kicked goal.
Hoffecker and Kemp also played brilliant
football, the former getting on a num-
her Of well-eXecuted forward passes
which completely fooled the visitors and
We're good for substantial gains. Kemp
carried the ball for a good gain nearly
every time he was called on. especially
when used on the play from a shift
formation. This play, together with the
forward pass. was used a great deal by
the Aggies during the entire game.
The only score of the game was made
by the Aggies in less than ten minutes
after the game had started BY line
plunCeS and series of forward passes
the Aggies worked the ball to Western
MaryIand's 10-yard line from which
point Shipley. on a beautiful quarter
back run around the visitors left wing
went over for the touchdown from which
h" kicked goal. After that the game
was a seesaw affair with both teams
fighting for every inch OF ground. the Ag-
gies having a slight advantage through
out.
Only twice was the Farmers goal line
in danger and both times their line held
like n stone wall and the fast Western
Maryland backs were unable to make
the required distance. All through the
game the strength Of the Farmers line
was apparent. which was a surprise, as
they have been especially weak in this
department the entire season.
Western Maryland made a number Of
attempts to WORK the forward pass nearly
all Of which wer" unsuccessful. the Ag-
Eies securing the ball on several OF their
opponents attempts. The game ended
with tn" ball in the Aggles' possession
on Western MarylandS 30-yard line.
