CARTER HARRISON
IS ELECTED MAYOR
Democrat Goes Into Office for Fifth
Time, Defeating Charles E. Mer-
riam, Republican.

CHICAGO. April 5.-Chicago today
Joined the column OF Democratic vic
tories, having elected Carter H. Har-
rison mayor by plurality OF 1882.
The Socialists, who had contem-
plated polling a vote OF between $4,000
and $4,000, secured only 24,759 for
their candidate, William Z. Rodriguez.
Harrisons victory was a repudla-
tion of civic reform and a clean
town" made by Charles z. Merriam,
the defeated Republican candidate.
Merriam, who said he was progress
sive Republican. denounced through
out the campaign crooked politics
and the vice trust" Harrison had the
support of the entire open town" ele-
ment. He carried with him the can
didates for city clerk and city treas
urer and gave txe Democrats a ma
Jority Of twelve in the city council.
The Democrats were restored 70
power after a four-year Republican
administration.
Marian, the defeated candidate, de-
clared today that the fight had just
begun. He has organized the Young
Mems Progressive Republican club
and he announced his intention OF
making fight for progressive policies
In municipal administration.
He declared today that his defeat
by no means showed the determina-
tion OF turning Chicago over to the
vice trust" Harrison will take office
Monday.
William Z. Rodriguez, Socialist can
didate for mayor, said that the result
was encouraging.
while not satisfied with the votes,
he said 1T was a good showing and
with increased work we are sure TO
elect several aldermen at the next
election.
A bond issue of s4,655,000 was au-
thorized by a referendum vote and
the suburb of Morgan Park voted 10
become a part Of the city. Oak Park
and Cicero defeated the annexation
proposition.
Rodriguez vote, 24,759. showed a
substantial increase over the last So
cialist vote for mayor. In 1907, the
Socialists polled 13,429.
