The natural effect OF this racial ap-

Tammany Hall will be returned to

The Chicago Mayoralty Election.

However the tremendous plurality

Republican candidate for Mayor in

analysts. there is no doubt Of its ma
tional significance. If the Admins

with Mr.. WILSON about the record Of
the Democratic Congress, no Repub-
lican candidate for Mayor in Chicago
would have piled up plurality Of
nearly 100000 In total vote Of $780,
900. by far the largest ever cast in

In 1910 the Republican and Demo-

The graceful tact, the strict oh.

BERNsroRrr. We congratulate him on
his faithfulness to its high traditions
and his own. The manner and matter
Of the statement emitted by his em-
bassy in regard to the Odenwald are
a perfect example of conclliatory and
engaging art. As THE SUNS Wash
ington dispatches yesterday said:
These charges constitute a grave I'M
plication against the honesty. fairness
and neutrality OF the United States.
Not the least amazing fact was the
publication OF the charges before the
Department OF State had had opportu-
nifty 20 consider them and make reply
The embassy's announcement was ac-
companled by the statement that the
state Department had been requested to
investigate the case Of tho Odenwald."
Why should the state Department

the fact that It has done so suggests
that the abandonment Of acreage can
not be large. Moreover. there is at
least fair chance that the wheat
crop will gain in the next few months
rather than deterlorate. Impairment
Of winter wheat from the advent OF
spring to harvest Is not something
which has customarily TO he appre-
