SHARP REBUKE GIVEN
TO MAYOR THOMPSON
BY CHICAGO VOTERS

Chicago, April 4.-ln one OF the most
turbulent elections in recent years,
non -partisans turned the political ma
chimes topsy-turvy here yesterday and
administered q resounding rebuke to
Mayor Thompson and the Republican
city hall forces.
Besides electing the city clerk and
city treasurer, the Democrats won %
seats in the city council. The Social
lists elected two and the Republicans
the remaining dozen. Other machines
also went into the ditch. In the re-
fractory river wards, where fights cul-
minated in the murder of a Grogan
worker. independent Democrats elect
ed their candidate. Bloodshed and ar
rests were common occurrences along
the levee throughout the day.
Today IL a gala day for the Demo-
Gratis. Two years ago Thompson was
elected as mayor by $4,000 plurality
and the Republicans carried into Of
flee 20 aldermen. Yesterdays results
indicate a complete reversal.
To a Socialist goes the honor OF
piling up the highest plurality of any
aldermanic candidate. John c. Ken
nedy, running for reelection, rolled
up more votes than his three oppo-
nents combined. His majority was
6157.

PRESIDENT A PICTURE
OF HEALTH AT SIXTY

He and Grayson may always be seen
together when international diff
culties have been encountered. They
may either play golf together or ride
about the Washington drives swap
ping stories. In this the president
revels as a relaxation and favorite
diversion on such drives, vieing in the
gentle art of rhyme and jingles.
AS for everyday habits, the prest-
dents are extremely regular. He keeps
appointments with himself with the
same strict accountability" as he
does with callers.
He has breakfast In his room, lunch
con is always at / O'Clock on the dot
and o'clock dinner is the rule.
BY holding to these few simple rules
of living the president finds himself
a war president--physically and nent-
ally fit to cope with the big problems
ahead.
