OLD THOMPSON MEN MAY GET
Ax.AT CITY HALL
Following the bouncing Of VIM. G..
Gregori, brother-in-law Of VIM. Lori
mer, from his job as third asst sup't
of streets, the City Hall ak swung
again today and chopped off the
head of E, w, Gregg, asst sup't Of
the Municipal pier.
Behind the discharge of Gregori
and Gregg is seen the expert political
hand Of Fred Lundin. The Brundage-
Galpin neutrals, who lined up with
the Thompson-Lundin crowd in the
county committee, are demanding
patronage from the City Hall before
they get out and work hard for Har-
ny B. Miller, the Lundin candidate
for states attorney. Lundin has
yielded and there is expected to be
a general wedding out OF old Lorimer
men and original Thompson men be-
fore the primaries.
GregoH was marked man since
the day Bill Lorimer announced his
return to politics, Lundin decided to
throw Lorimer, it is said, through
fear of further hammering from the
Tribune and other loop papers and
also through fear of injuring the
candidacy of Frank Lowden for gov
ernor. BY firing Lorimer's brother
in-law, the wise ones say, Lundin
figured that it would help end the
"Lorimerfsm" charge that is being
used against the Thompson-Lundin
machine down state.
Gregg was small fry. He got in
bad when he talked too much about
the alleged careless way Roy Lau-
binger, life guard at the Municipal
pier, was handled after he received
a fatal injury from a launch while
swimming in the lake. Com'r of

used for many years by the physicians
and pecialists at DR.. Pierce's Invalids'

bladder, scalding urine, and urinary
troubles.
Up to this time, "Anuric" has not
been on sale to the public, but by the
persuasion of many patients and the
Increased demand for this wonderful
healing Tablet, Doctor Pierce has finally
decided to put it into the drug stores of
this country within immediate reach of
all sufferers.
Simply ask for Doctor Pierce's Anuric
Tablets. There can be no imitation.
Every package of nAnurc" is sure to be
DR.. Pierce's. You will find the signature

auto service after several record

a bunch of brides roses at her belt
and in her hair. Rev. C: E. N.

ly the nearest relatives of the bride
witnessed the marriage.
