has made "A close study OF the question
of compromising dairy raiions. and his

show the business interests that a
really pubIc-spirited alderman shall
not suffer because he sets out to reg
Ulate these business interests"
Kerner had the fender law passed
in the face of the united opposition of
eYeryyd department store in the loop,
the express companies, the public
utility corporations, the newspapers,
and, in fact, nearly every big busi-
ness concern that owns auto trucks,
The alderman stepped into the
fight after his father was slain by a
motor truck on Christmas eve,
1913. Three times he had the cOun-
Gil pass an ordinance requiring that
the trucks be equipped with safe
guards and twice the big corpora
tions had the law declared invalid.
The last ordinance, passed unani-
mously on June /, is now in court be-
ing opposed by attorneys Tor Armour

1t was also through Janke's efforts
that several shady flats were forced
from the neighborhood. l, from my
own observation, know that Janke
was out for a week or more up into
the small hours of the morning get
ting evidence himself which led to
4he closing of these places.
l could cite many such instances
which have gained for him the name
of the 100 per cent alderman.

CLAIM STATE STREET IS BEHIND
FIGHT ON AID. KERNER
Is State street out to punish Alder
man Otto Kerner because he put the
auto truck fender ordinance on the
law books of the city?
The department store interests are
said to be working in full force out
in the 18th ward, where he is can
didate for reelection. They intend
to make an example Of Kerner to
show other members of the city
council what will happen to them if
they support laws opposed to the
wishes of the loop stores.
Backers of Kerner say that the
candidacy of Stephen Thieda, his
Republican opponent, is significant.
Thieda was for years private secre-
tary for Leon Mandel, owner of the.
store bearing his name. Along this
line the Municipal Voters league
says:
''Thieda was bookkeeper and
accountant for Mandel Bros. and
private secretary for Leon Mandel,
and later department manager and
financial manager for the same com
pany, covering a service Of 13 years. -
From Kerner's supporters comes
the complaint that the downtown
stores are fighting their candidate.
In opposing KeTner they are joined
by the owners Of big stores and ex-
press companies in his neighborhOod
which own auto trucks.
