PUBLICITY laQ u6Q up the WHEELS VI
the entire Cook County election ma
chinery while he basked in the sun
light of public view.
For weeks Farwell and his clique
have been making statements to the
effect that nearly 5000 First Ward
voters would be thrown out. The
number finally dwindled to 1892 and
the hearing set for yesterday.
The people of First Ward who were
sent suspect" notices were there.
And they made a surprising looking
assembly. The trust press, which al
ways blinds the people to the real
issue at election time, by giving col
umns to the old cry of "Clean the
First Ward, {" had tried to give the i'm
preston that nearly all the First
Ward voters were either burglars,
gunner or panderers.
So the appearance of the First
Warders would have been shock to
anyone who fell for the bunk handed
out by the trust press. There were in
the crowd mothers, dragged away
from their children, and hard-work-
ing fathers, dragged away from their
work at the whim of FarWell.
Some of them were of the type that
make up the very bone and sinew of
the nation, and yet Farwen and his
fellow" Performers" of the Chicago
Law and Order League was trying to
take from them the fundamental
right of an American citizen-the
right to vote and make his own laws.
And their sons and daughters were
there also, storming at Farwell. But
the most crushing of all to Farwen
was in the discovery that in his eager
ness to furnish long list of suspects
he had summoned business men, who
resided at the various hotels and
clubs in the First Ward district.
He had also caused to be summon
ed managers of big hotels who lived
in their own hotels. That was too

your methods are rotten, abso-
lutely rotten" declared Madden, who
has lived at the club for twenty
years. "This board ought to be. taken
by the nap of the neck and thrown
out of here"
This last caused Commissioner An

commissioner most responsible for

land anybody with human intelli-
gence could have found out out if he
had asked. Instead I'm put on the

time by coming down here to prevent
you from depriving me of the right to

Mason has lived at the club for
seven years and Robinson for four
years. Franklin p. Fisk, a professor
att he Marshall F. Tuley High School,
wasm also forced to appear and es-
tablish his right to vote in the First
Ward. There was 10 members of the

Much Indignation was aroused by
the action of Czarnecki in ruling to
deprive a man of vote because he
had gone to Michigan to work for two
months last summer.
Childs, in commenting on the large
number of suspects" said that there
were probably only about 1872 names
which would be stricken from the
First Ward lists. And Czarnech, who
