CHICAGO CAMPAIGN
WARMEST IN HISTORY
Carter H. Harrison, Four
Times Mayor, and C. E. Mer-
Ram, Each Claim Victory.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, April Thursday will see
the close of the most exciting municipal
campaign in the history Of Chicago. With
charges Of treachery on each side, the
republicans. with a reform candidate,
Charles f. Merriam, and the democrats.
under the standard OF Carter H. Harri-
son, go to the polls each claiming victory.
Harrison claims he will be elected by
10000 to $4,000 majority.
Merriam's hackers are claiming the
election by from 900 to $1,000. The
situation is one OF the most peculiar
that has ever arisen in a local cam
paign. Harrison. four times mayor.
stands fourth on a platform which
calls for 20 cent gas, municipal sub
way, "a five-cent fare througout Chiago
and municipality owned outer harbor
Merriam stands on his record as a
graft hunter in the city hall while he
was alderman.
He has the support of the anti-saloon
element, the so-called silk stocking vot
ers and the champions of the blue laws.
Harrison is Endorsed by the Personal
Liberty League, which means that he
stands for open Sundays.
Republicans Support Harrison.
Harrison includes in his caravan a
number of the machine republicans that
have always contributed to the success
OF republican candidates. Merriam, as a
reformer. is being supported by the fol-
lowers of Roger c. Sullivan democratic
national committeeman Of Illinois. Sui
Ivan himself publicly indorses Mer-
ram.
On the other hand, many of them are
working in the open against Merriam.
Tine followers of Mayor BuSse, almost
to man, are with Harrison. Busse
would have been candidate for renomi-
nation and reelection if il had not been
for Merriam's graft hunting. In keep
ing with Buses attitude. other regular
republican leaders have absented them
selves from the city during the cam
paisn.

Overthrow Organizations.
When Harrison was nominated the en-
tire democratic organization of Cook
county was oyerthrown. The same was
true of the republican organization in
Merriam's nomination. The issue
against Harrison is that he goes to
California every winter to be with his
family.
It is claimed that he thus disfranchised
himself as a voter in Chicago. Merriam
is charged with having been born in Hop
kinton, Ia, remote town of 500 inhab-
itantS.
He is also charged with straddling the
dry issue in Hyde Park, the home OF
prohibition. and the wet issue in sections
Of the city where saloons thrive.
Harrison's experience, his record as a
foe of franchise srabbe.s and the enemy
of Yerkes in the attempt to steal Chi
Cages streets for the traction trust are
relied upon to land the four times mayor
a NTH time. Merriam says he will win
on his record as graft hunter during
his one term as alderman.
1T is estimated that both candidates
will spend together 100000 to win or
lose the election.

the nation, especially as related tc the
food supply. Many health ordinances
have been passed in our cities. Large
sums of money have been expended in
improving water supplies and in per.

and requiring proper labelling Of all

If Bridgeport can eXcell in manufacturing it can get these things.
 Reaping Results of Awakening.
 Bridgeport was \st reaping the first results of a definite awakening. The people can get just as good gov ernment as it asks for and no more. The speaker said that he believed direct primaries by giving the people the control of the nominations would secure better government This would certainly not do any worse and was liable to do a good deal better. All corporations have always fought every movement to better conditions but in the end they have had to yield when public opinion was thoroughly aroused. In conclusion he told the company that the better government of the state was in their hands.

 In conclusion he congratulated the business men of the state upon theii victory and said that it was an in- spiration for men in the legislature to know that they had the support of the intelligent and progressive blsi, ness men of the state.

 But, said he: Jerry Donovan in tho legislature has been both unpledged and honest since then" Speaking of the public utilities measure he said that six years ago the people were un- organized and so unable to make their wishes known at Hartford where the doors have long been closed to the progressive popular demands, but now the state association with it's 15,000 members is in a position to change all this and indicated the dawn of a new political day.
 Senator Judson said if he might be presumed to do so he would suggest that the association take up the di- rect primaries issue, he admitting. that he had long belonged to the old school which believed in the men who secured the votes naming the candi- dates for the people to vote for. He alluded to the progressive legislation in other states which permitted peo- ple to name their own candidates.

LA FOI.LETTE'S PROPHECY.
List of .'Lamc Ducks'' Who Insulted
 New Senator.

The first time La Toilette made a speech in the Senate-and he did it when he hadn't been Senator much more than twenty minutes-they walked out on him, just as they had done in the case of Beveridge. The gallery remained, just as it had done before When he found himself de- serted by practically the entire Sen ate mem bership, La Toilette briefly interrupted his speech to observe:
 I cannot be insenSible to the fact that Senators absent themselves dur ing my remarks. l want to say that though my observations may have no interest to the Senate, they have a very keen interest to the country And take the liberty to observe that seats which are now temporarily va cated will later be vacated perma- nently.
 Prophecy is rather dangerous bus mess unless you are good guesser; but La Toilette was as reckless in indulging prophecy as he was in courting defeat. Of the men who were Senators, and who walked out Of the chamber that day. the follow ing have since been defeated and re- tired:
