Independents IN CHICAGO
CAUSE POLITICAL UPSETS
Democrats Win Control Of City
Council-Socialist Alderman Gets
the Highest Plurality.

CHICAGO. April An one OF the
most turbulent elections in recent
years non -partisans had turned local
political machines topsy turvy here
to-day, and administered a sounding
rcbuke to Mayor Thompson and the
Republican City Hall forces.
Besides electing the City Clerk
and City Treasurer. the Democrats
won twenty-five seats In the City
Council. The Socialists elected two
and the Republicans the remaining
twelve.
Other machines also went into the
ditch. In the refractory river wards
where fights eliminated In the muir
der of Grogan worker, Independent,
Democrats succeeded in electing
their candidate. Bloodshed and ar
rests were common occurrences along
the levee throughout the election
yesterday.
To-day Is a gala day for the Dem
ocrats. Two years ago Thompson
was elected as Mayor with a plurality
OF 147.477. and the Republicans car.
rlcd into office twenty-three Alder
men. Yesterdays results indicate @
complete reversal.
To a Socialist goes the honor OF
piling up the highest plurality OF any
Aldermanic candidate. John &. Ken
nedy, running for reelection. rolled
UP more votes than his three oppo-
nents combined. His plurality was
6,l57.

IT IS ALLEGED PREMIER MAY HAVE BEEN IN LEAGUE
 WITH kORNiLOFF.
EXPLANATION IS DEMANDED
More Indications of Trouble Is That BoIsheviki Group of Central Work mems and Soldiers Delegates Has
 Carried By a Large Majority.

Petrograd.--The Korniloff mystery. arising out of the recent revolt, has developed dimensions which threaten the existence of the cabinet, particu- larly the position of Premier Keren- sky. The newspapers representing the Left and the Right parties de- mand an explanation from the gov ernment, while the Bolsheviki organs openly accuse the premier, in tho words of the Nabotchipoof, of being a conspiracy with Korniloff "to crush the Petrograd proletariat and the workmen's and soldiers delegates, with the help of cavalry corps sent against Petrograd."
 The newspaper asks why, if the published documents are forged, no denial has been issued. Maxim Cor ky's paper, Novaia Zhizn, which, being unfriendly toward Kerensky, must be taken with reserve, declares that the affair is causing a sensation in the ranks of the government and that M. Terentchenko, the foreign minister, conversed by telephone with M. Ker- ensky aqbout this matter, whereupon Kerensky postponed his return to Pe- trograd. The newspaper adds that the members of the government had decided that M KerersKy ought to make a statement on the subject.
 A more serious indication of trou- ble is that the Bolsheviki group in the bureau of the Central Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates has carried by an overwhelming majority, a resolution demanding an explanation. The reso- lutions refers to revelations concern ing the action of members and agents of the provisional government in connection with the preparation in General Korniloff's headquarters of a conspiracy against the revolution" and continues:
 "The plan was to announce a pre- visional or collective dictatorship at the same time declaring Petrograd un- der martial law, then mercilessly to break up the Petrograd revolutionary and working class organizations, un- der the pretext of crushing an imagi- nary Bolsheviki plot"
 The Russkya Voli says the revela- tions have made an overwhelming i'm pression on the members of the gov ernment who wsre not initiated into the plan and that the ministers are awaiting Premier Kerensky's explan- ation.

MEETING AT LITTLE ROCK
To Be Held First Week in October Object Is To Prevent Sacrificing Product At Low Prices-Have
 Eyes On Gamblers.
Little Rock.

BPon the initiative Of John H. Page, commissioner of agriculture, and with the cooperation of the Farmers Union of Arkansas, the State Bankers Asso- citation and other representative or ganiZations, a mass meeting of the cotton growers of the state will be held in Little Rock the first week in October, to discuss plans for the judi cious marketing of the present crop of cotton, to the end that the farmers will not be forced to sacrifice their products at the present low and un- profitable prices.
 It is the belief of the agricultural authorities. the farmers and the bank CTS that spectators have gambled prices down just when the crop begins to move to market for the purpose of taking down large profits from grow CTS who are forced to eeit early Q meet their obIgatiens. and that later prices will advance to q point more nearly the true value Of the cotton. as was the case under similar conditions last year
 Movements of this kind are to be started in all of the cotton states and Commissioner Page attended mass meeting at Dallas. Texas. recently, where he had the opportunity of obtaining valuable information to place before the meeting 10 be held la- ter in Little Rock
 The Texas commissioner of agri- culture, in a letter to MT Page, says: Cotton compared with all other farm products is the cheapest article Of fered for sale by the farmer. Sixteen cent pork and S2 wheat would class along by the side of 26 and 28 cent cotton
 If the New York Exchange operators can be convinced that the crop may not move rapidly at the present price they would be only likely 10 withdraw some of their bear pressure. This would result in an upward trend in the market
