IN high BROW WARD
VICTORY OF MR.. FETZER IS
LOOKED UPON AS MASTER
STROKE 6v MERRIAM OPPON-
ENTs-PAReNrs RESIDE IN OF.
TAWA NOW.

Charles X. Merriam, former guber
material aspirant and for years lead
ing factor in Cook county and state
politics, was defeated yesterday for
the Republican nomination for alder
man In the Seventh ward of Chicago
by William Ray F'etzer, former Otta-
wan, and son Of Mr. and Mrs. j. w
Fetzer, OF 729 First avenue.
Mr.. Fetzer's rise in the political
arena. Of Chicago has been as effective
as 1t was meteoric. Leaving Ottawa,
not so many years ago. Mr.. Fetzer
went to Chicago to embark in business
for himself and soon became lead
ing attorney OF the Cook county bar
AT the time big Bill Thompson swunt
into control OF Chicago politics Mr.
Fetzer was making rapid strides as
the leader OF the Seventh ward, Chi
cago's principal high brow section
and solidly Republican. When Mer
riam was winding up his reform cam
paign against the city hall. 1t was only
natural that Thompson and his aids
should select the strongest man In
tho ward to oppose the sitting alder
man. Fetzer was chosen for that tasi
and the manner In which he mad,
inroads into Merriam's formel
strength is shown by his coming ouI
Of the primary with majority, which
his friends believed will be unshakcr
when Official returns are disclosed.
The results az announced this morn
ing gave Mr. Fetzer 6.1S5 votes as
against Merriam's 5,993, leaving him q
majority Of 1872 to the good
The defeat of Merriam was looked
upon In Chicago as nothing short OF
an impossibility and for the Ottawa
man to spring into the breach and
turn the trick" Is looked upon by his
many local friends as nothing short OF
marvellous. Merriam was believed SC
firmly implanted in the Seventh war;
seat that nothing could ever uprool
him
Merriam frequently has visited il
Ottawa and Is well known here
When he ran for governor he made 6
campaign speech in this city.
