Carter Harrison Is
 Mayor Of Chicago
Housing Democratic Victory in Metropolis of West Harrison is
 Five Times WInner--He Certainly Did Come Back

Chicago, April 5.-Chicago commit ted herself to progress yesterday. She
 elected Carter H. Harrison Mayor by date for that office.
 Also Chicago cast the largest total vote ever boiled in municipal elec- ton. The total vote, according to the
 police returns, was 364,012. Of that total MT. Harrison received 177,35s votes.
 There were cast for his Republican opponent, Professor Charles E. Mer- riam, 1sO,276 votes. w F. Rodriguez, the Socialist can- didate, ran third with a total of 22,- 294 votes.
 William A. Brubaker, the Prohibi- tionist. was fourth, with 2,971 votes. Anthony Prince, the Socialist-Labor candidate, finished last with total of 1,013 votes.
 votes, almost a majority of the total 1 vote cast.
 MT Harrison's victory was so de- 1 cisive that it left no doubt of the sentiment of the voters of Chicago. 1 It was a clear and clean triumph of progressive principles over special in- terests allied with provincialism. City Now For Cheaper Gas. l It was a splendid achievement for MT. Harrison personally. He demon | strated that now and again it hap pens that & man can "come back and can come back so forcefully that no doubt could remain of his stand | ing in the community. Mir Harrison was elected Mayor for 1 the fifth time. Thereby he equalled 1 his fathers record. But in one re- spect he surpassed that record. If 1 he shall serve his term out he will | have been Mayor of Chicago for l twelve years, whereas his father was elected for only ten years of service,
 and actually served less than nine
 years.
 Much more significant than the | personal success of MT Harrison, l however was what his election means
 to Chicago.
 l Thereby the city definitely commit
 ] ted itself to the reduction of the price l of gas to seventy cents a thousand

|IN THE THEATRES
PARK THEATRE

Seven Days, the comedy which made such a success here last Novem- Der, will be repeated here at the Park Theatre Saturday matinee and even ing April sth by the same company This farcial melange of psychic power rapid fire cocktails and a half starved burglar, who hides in the most un- expected places, fairly caught the town when it was seen before. an6 one is at no loss to explain why il kept New York laughing all last year and through the summer until now. II $ certainly the funniest play of many seasons. For brightness of lines augh provoking situations and brisk nappy action, nothing has been seer comparable to it for years. The story 5 crammed full of so many wildly 'unny scenes and situations that one an hardly keep track of them ano finally forced just to sit down and augh and laugh. When all is saio his is the sole aim and end of 8 omic play, and when the fun is pro.
 uced by legitimate means without esort to vicious innuendo. or coarse uggestion, the best results in the -omic> manner are. attained. This is eally the case inf Seven Days and Y. is refreshing to be able to say SO Don't hesitate to advise your friend ? take his wife and young daughters see Seven Days" for there is not a hing there to offend the most fas- tdious. s" +.1 efj -z~
 The feminine portion of the theatre 'oers are always interested in hand ,ome costumes and in Seven Days here are many of them in evidence 'ome are worn in the first act when he character are assembled and the rouble begins. In the second act the n Int tn rrix ID all their clothes to be funigated nd are reduced to dressing gornws Dajamas and bedclothes for raiment which makes funny contrast. while he third shows them all on the rooi ,lothed and again in their right minds. Take it for all in all, "Seven Days" would make a chronic titterer If the veriest misanthrope imaginable md crack with laughter the sourest -isage that ever disfigured mortal Therefore, take heart, all you who are afflicted with business cares, house hold worries, unrequited affection or any of the many ills that prevent laughter and cheerfulness. There's a iilre cure in seven Days'' for all of to laugh will go to this play any way. It is their duty to take along hose who don't laugh often and make them do so once anyway.
 "The Girl of My Dreams is clean and amusing musical comedy, contain ng real humor and furnishing a great diversity of entertainment The wit $ as brilliant as the stage settings costumes and effects John Hyams and Leila Mcintyre are the bright particular stars of an exceptionally clever cast. Miss McIntyre's greatest hit is the unique ''Dr TinkIe Tinker song number. Mir. Hyams is funny at all times. Irving Brooks and Nita Allen are also mirth proyokers. The music is tuneful. The tableau of Toy town accompanying Miss McIntyre's s ''Dr. Tinkle Tinker" is especially eff fective. Possibilities for the funny and ridiculous grow out of the replac- ing of a damaged hat.

feet if that rate is shown to be fair. Utility Corporations Beaten. Further. it committed itself to the careful regulation of all public utility corporation charges. the one after another, if the present charges are shown to be excessive. And it gave notice to franchise hunters that they need not apply, eE- cept upon terms that the masses of the people, and not the classes, shall approve. In other words, Chicago voted to turn the public utility corporations out of the City Hall. Chicago did not stop it's progressive programme at the election of a May or, however. She elected thirty-seven mem bers of the Councils, which, in it's entirety, is pledged to back up the Mayors policies.
 Chicago saw a chance to estab blisll
 an entirely new regime, and took ad- vantage of the occasion. And while she was doing other things by the way of qualification and disinfection, she cast the so-called Roger c. SullI- van Democracy into the discard. Talk en altogether it was a great day for Chicago.
 In electing a Democratic Mayor all the superstitions were observed. It
 was rainy day, and therefore a Democratic one. Chicago saw her | duty to go Democratic and perform ed it.
 Vote Clean, Count Honest. Yesterdays contest for the Mayor atty was the finish of the hottest campaign for Mayor Chicago has ever | known. It had been predicted that it would be 8 hot conclusion, and | that-prediction was fulfilled. There was g. big vote, clean count and the right prevailed.
 The rout of the allies behind Pro- lessor Merriam was complete, and it was certain from the beginning of l the voting. The conditions under which the election was held were just what the Merriam managers profess
 ed to want--a large vote and an hon. est count They got both-and de- 1 feat.
 The thing relied on by the Mer- riam camp for them to win did mol
 occur. That was a landslide. There 1 was none.
