VIOLENT BLIZZARD
SWEEPS CHICAGO
TRAFFIC TIED UP
One Man Dead as a Result
Other Cities in Michigan,
Wisconsin and Ohio Report
Cold and Snow.

CHICAGO. oct PA violent
snow storm. the worst AT this season
of the year. in the memory of the
oldest residents, swept Chicago and
the middle west Tuesday. The sud
den drop in temperature and the
heavy snow caused great Suuerine
and endangered many lives. Railroad
trains running into Chicago were de-
layed several hours and traffic IN tho
city was demOralized. Elevated trains
and surface cars abandoned their
schedules. Horses and heavy motor
vehicles made slow progress over the
snow covered streets. Many minor ac-
cidents were reported early in the
day and many fires threatened homes
that had been without artificial heat
for several months.
one death was due to the storm
here. Charles Blake SWitchman,
blinded by snow. was run down and
killed by a switch engine i'm the
Crane companN's private railroad
yards.
The temperature early Tuesday was
50 above zero. Several ships ON Lake
Michigan were MISSING Tuesday.
Wireless messages were flashed from
the local offices of every steamship
company operating lake liners 10 as
certain whether their craft were safe.
Lake Michigan Tuesday was lashed
into fury along the west shore hy "a
strong off shore wind. Reports from
Minnesota and upper Wisconsin said
that Lake Superior was ice crusted
and that many small boats had been
wrecked. No attempt WAS made by
shippers to put ont into the storm.

This is the sentiment not only Of those
who were chiefly instrumental in Sc
curing Mr. JOyces nomination last
August but largely of other citizens
who did not participate in that con-
test and are in hearty accord with the
sentiment that impellcd that verdict.
COrrOboratiVe OF what has hitherto
been said with reference to mayoral-
ty candidates. is the reproduction OF
an article written and printed in sup
port Of a candidacy somewhat similar
10 that of Mr.. Joyce This article
fits in" so we'll here that il may
fairly be utilized as an argument pc
culiarly applicable TO this candidacy:
Promises and platforms amount to
little as an assurance of what TO eX-
pect in a coming administration un-
less they are taken in association with
the history and character OF the man
who makes them and the character
and kind Of men and Influences that
are working for his election.
The time has come when the peO-
pie would like TO see the largest meas
ure of enforcement between public
service and partisan and private in
tiuence. And ii can be obtained most
effectually. as has been demonstrated
in a number of American cities-no-
tably Philadelphia and Cincinnati-by
a coupling of a strong man free of
destructive influences with the votes
Of a sufficient number of loyal citi-
zens TO insure his election.
Government in American cities in
any contingency. is a question Of the
man who is the responsible director
of affairs. Political candidates of the
old stripe can not rise above their
source which is a complex partisan
machine looking for the preferment
of office and the profits of jobs and
jobbery. SO-called 'nOn-partisan can
didates who are the nominees of Sc
crecy and the creatures OF corporate
influence and special privilege are no
better than the aggregate Of the sus-
piciOuS things that caused them 10 be
thrust upon the public.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1913-10-21

For weeks and weeks newspaper
readers have had presented to their
vision all sorts of stories regarding
the pernicious activity of an alleged
political machine said to be headed
by Crawford Fairbanks and Thomas
Taggart This alleged machine is as
sumed TO have supcTvisionary power
over local machines in such parts OF
Indiana as may be deemed serviceable
for fantastic onslaughts on political
SCare-crOws
Giving any sort of credence to the
rot that has appeared in public print
the inference would be natural that
Crawford Fairbanks of Terre Haute
is devOting his entire time and atten-
tion TO directing the operation of the
various machines created by the Mum
chausenS connected with INSCRIPTIONS
Indiana newspapers. Those who know
Crawford Fairbanks and his ways are
amazed when told of these alleged aC-
tVitieS. His mind is occupied with
other matters. and if he were ques-
toned about the things laid at his
door by Billy Blodgett and his Imita
tors he would be puzzled To reveal the
slightest knowledge thereof IL is en-
urely safe To assert that Crawford
Fairbanks is not personally acquaint-
ed with half dozen persons residing
I'm South Bend. that he is not inter
ested in any of the towns affairs. and
mat he has paid no more attention to
South Bends municipal contest than
has the czar of Russia or the emperor
Of Germany.
As for Thomas Taggart il may he
said that, busy man that he is known
t. be. with demands upon every mo-
mcnt OF his time. il is an afIrOnt to
the commonest intelligence to allege
that he is eagerly casting about for
jobs To boss political machines That
h feels deep interest in political
Affairs is not 10 be doubted. but that
this interest IS due 10 selfish aims
and base purposes is as grOUndless an
assumption as can be conceived. II
