BITTER ALDERMANIc
 CAMPAIGN IN CHICAGO.
Mayor Thompson Charges Liquor -In-
 terests With Opposing Him.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.--What is described as one of the bitterest campaigns which has ever marked an aldermanic primary election in Chicago's history closed tonight. Tomorrow the voters will elect one alderman from each of the city's 35 wards and one municipal court judge to fill a vacancy.
 Interest centers in the fight between Mayor William Hale Thompson, repub- lioan, elected last April by a plurality of 15o,00 and nine republican alder men who have opposed the mayors policies and who now seek renomina- tion. During the campaign two men have been shot, numerous fist fights have occurred and several suits for slander have been brought.

MANY PASSENGERS
MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE
TAKEN FROM TRAIN AND
RUTHLESsLY sUTcHERED.
Military Train Allowed 10 Pass With

Ones Killed, the Dead Being
Left Beside Tracks.

Laredo, TeIas.--An indiscriminate
massacre of nearly 100 women, chill.
dren and Carranza soldiers who were
travelling on a train near Contreras,
state OF Morelos, which was attacked
by Zapatista followers, is reported in
Mexico City newspapers received here
Sunday After the attack on the train
the dead lay in piles beside the tracks.
The passenger train, conveyed by
military train eight kilOmeters IN ad-
vance, was halted in a mountain vii
derness after the military train had
been allowed to pass unmolested. For
fifteen minutes the Zapatistas kept up
the slaughter, Staying men and WON
en-, who prayed for mercy, and killing
the babies who accompanied their
mothers, the papers declare. Sol
diers aboard the passenger train were
without their accouterEents and IN
able TO offer any resistance. Among
the list Of dead given in the Mexico
City papers is the name Of Colonel
Garfdo Alfaro, two majors and three
captains.
When a relief train reached the
scene Of the attack several hours
after it occurred the Zapatistas had
scattered into the hills. They looted
the express car Of its valuables before
departing.

Hstates-states on which the Republican
leaders counted so surely that they
took little trouble or expense TO make

Without New York or Illinois, which
declared decisively and Immediately
for Hughes, the Democrats found
enough strength in the middle and ex-
IRENE west to overcome the great
electoral votes of these and many
other populous and important states.
OF the western states where a
Hughes victory was practically con-
ceded by Democrats, Hughes was vic
torious only in Oregon. In the mid

but of the interest of the great coun-
try we all love. Let us forget all our
differences and unite for common
service. Only in that way can we
work for the great nation that has
given US liberty and peace"
Mr.. Hughes has not yet conceded
the election of President Wilson, and
probably will not do so until the vote
of close states has been officially
counted.
George W. Perkins conferred Friday
afternoon with the Republican candi-
date. He stated that no definite de-
cision had been reached by party
managers in regard to demanding a
recount in California, New Mexico and
North Dakota. He intimated action
probably would be deferred until the
official count in those states was COM
pleted, in the hope that there might
be an overturn of the comparatively
slender Wilson plurality.
New Record in Vote Getting.
Secretary Tumulty on November 10
sent the following message to Pres
ident Wilson at Willianstown, Mass:
Election returns conclusiyely dem
onstrate that your victory at the polls
is dear and decisive. You have car
ried two-thirds of the states of the
Union. The four years of your ad-
have brought you ap-
proximately 2,266,614 more votes than
when you we're first elected in 1912.
THIS is the greatest increase given to
an American president for a second
term since the civil war. Your vote
last Tuesday was 2,O6O,7OS more than
ever previously recorded for a Demo
cratic candidate, and, despite the
of opposition, is the largest |
vote ever received by president from !
the people OF the country-952, 955 !
more than the total Taft-RooseveIt |
vote in 1912. You have a popular plu- |
rality of 403,312.
The result of the election. which |
was clouded by doubt and conflicting
reports for two days, has upset all |
in American politics. VIII ]

New York-In an election unpar-
allied in the history of the nation
President Woodrow Wilson has been
elected for a second term. The larg-
est vote in the history of the nation
was cast The contest was one OF
the closest in political history, the
final decision coming when California,
Hitherto recognized as a Republican
state, went into the Democratic col
umn and announced that her thirteen
electoral votes would be cast for
President Wilson. Minnesota was in
the doubtful column on November Is,
both sides claiming that state. But
the Minnesota vote will not change
the result
Wilson and Marshall carried thirty
states, while Hughes and Fairbanks
carried seventeen states. This gives
Wilson 276 electoral votes and
Hughes 243. No matter which way
Minnesota goes, President Wilson has
been reelected.
Woodrow Wilson is the first Demo
crat to succeed himself in the White
House since the days of Andrew Jack
son in 1882.
He is also the first man elected
president of the United States since
1876 without the aid of both New York
and Indiana, both of which cast their
votes against him this year.
Only once since 1875 had Illinois
been against the successful candidate
for president.
The south and the west were united
in their support of the Democratic
standard bearer.
ALI the western states but one
Oregon-wilI cast their electoral
votes for President Wilson. South
Dakota was the farthest west state
to give Hughes its endorsement.
The announcement alleged to have
been made by the Hughes campaign
managers that the election would be
contested was followed on Friday by
a statement by the campaign man
ayers of the defeated candidate that
they would not contest the election of
President Wilson.
They announced that no steps will
be taken to secure recount in close
states unless the official canvass of
the vote discloses glazing frauds.

successful, but his pluralities were no
sufficiently large to indicate that the
women voters supported him as unit
One of the unusual, if not unexpect
ed features of the result, was that Mr.
Wilson lost his own state OF New
Jersey by more than $4,000 votes, los
ing his own town and his own dis
trict. The Democratic candidate fol-

sey, James A. MARITIME, went down

Michigan has voted for statewide
