Chicago, April 6.-Today's municipal
election marks the passing from public
life, probably forever, OF Carter H.
Harrison, mayor of Chicago. Son Of
Carter II. Harrison, the first, who was
assassinated while serving as Worlds
Fair mayor of Chicago, in 1898. Harrl-
son II equalled his fathers record Of
five terms and actually served two
more years than his father. as his lass
term was for four years, while his
fathers five terms and his own first
four were for two years each.
Harrison lost the Democratic nom
ination to Robt NJ. Sweitzer in fight
that was complicated by many issues.
several due TO the feeling engendered
by the world war. Primarily, how
ever. Harrison lost because the strap.
hangers blamed him for the miserable
transportation facilities in Chicago.
During his term just closed there was
continual agitation for a subway or
some practical solution of the situa-
ton which has marked Chicago as the
slowest OF all cities to arrange for
transportation of its workers. Harri-
son protested that the big mercantile
interests allied with existing transpor-
tation corporation had rendered him
helpless but he was nevertheless made
a victim.
Carter H. Harrison was an easy
boss" Handsome, priding himself on
ancestry and family, being mayor was

toned this personal or business hon
esty; none successfully. His liquor
policy was liberal in accordance with
what he believed the people wanted,

and Busse the city grew bigger, more
prosperous, many streets we're unlight-
ed more unswept Police graft flour

crooks. Murders and other crimes
against person and property increased
alarmingly. The second city was ex-
periencing growing pains and it's reve-
nue. for police, light, cleaning, etc, was
not at all commensurate with the won
derful growth. 1t had outgrown short
pants, but didn't have them oney tc
buy long ones and lacked capacity to

city parks and boulevard system was
a bright and notable exception.

Democratic nominee, is opposed by

candidate is Seymour Stedman, Soc

in irrigat,ng is pumped by a 90
horse power pump into a galvan

to the highest part of the farm
and distributed. This year they
had 38 acres of tomatoes and 5
acres of cabbage to put on the
market. The tomatoes yielded
about 200 bushels TO the acre, and
were sold to the Mob i1ge Canning
Company at 40 cents bushel
