Election Day Riots.

CHICAGO, April IL fractional
warfare broke out here today among
politicians when mob of a hundred
ward heelers attacked policeman
and took four prisoners from him.
The men were arrested by the officer
for attacking voter. Riots broke
out in other parts Of the city con-
tinuously and the police were busy
quelling them. In addition to the ex-
preston of choice for president, the
voters elected delegates to the ma
tional party and members of state
comm ittees. Democratic members
divided two ways and republicans
were split. Senator Sherman is the
only name printed on the republican
ticket for presidential preference;
Woodrow Wilson is the only demo
crat on that party's ticket. Some
Roosevelt expression is expected in
the candidacy of John Maynard Har-
Ian. candidate for delegate at large.
Harlan has expressed his preference
for Roosevelt for president.
