terday's Democratic primary. in which
President Wilson's letter to Clark
Howell. Georgia Democratic National

supporter of the Administration was
contrasted by the President with that
Of Senator Hardwick.

ton Of the protesting pacifist and the
anti-war legislator of every party and
from every section is disclosed in the

larly the primaries of Illinois and

In Illinois MedIl Mccormick, on the
face of partial returns, has defeated
William Hale Thompson. Chi6ago's anti
war Mayor. by a majority of more than
10, 900 in a three-cornered fight in which
the third party. George Edmund Foss.
was himself almost as ardently pro-war
as the victor.
In Georgia Senator Thomas W. Hard
wick. candidate for denomination, was
defeated by William J. harris. formerly
Trade Commissioner. solely on the issue
OF Senator Hardwicks alleged opposi-
ton to President Wilson's war aims and
methods. In this case tile President had
interfered successfully in behalf of Har-
ris by writing a letter OF Endorsement for
his former subordinate. 1t adds one more
victory to the mixed record OF successes
in the Executive interferences in behalf
OF the loyal!st candidates In the various
primaries.

jubilant over the success OF Represen-
tative Mccormick They hold that his
victory over Mayor Thompson. who ad-
| mitted that he was against the war be-
cause Chicago. next to Berlin, was the
largest German city in the world. is a

| programme OF a relentless war with a
dictated peace. Speaking for the Repub-
licans Senator Lodge. the Republican
| leader. said tonight:
THE result in Illinois is a source OF
deepest qualification and 1t is especially
| pleasing that Mr.. Mccormick got such
tremendous majority. 1t assures us

from Illinois but one who also favors
vigorous prosecution Of the war and who
Will never be willing to accept a COM

up the Mayor in the row which took
pplace behind the scenes" in Thomp-
sons headquarters. Lundin was caught
berating a crowd OF City Hall poll
ticians, while in a corner sat the Mayor
chewing viciously on "a cigar and glazing
at the downcast crew.
Then the Mayor took a hand
What I want to know is. Were there
any deals made" he said. land l want
to know who the men responsible for
those deals are. I'll have their scalps."
1t now is definitely known that
Thompson carried Chicago by 1874.
Mccormick carried the country towns in
Cook county by 1.249. Thompson's Cook
county plurality was 1886.
The Mayors friends already have
started a boom for his denomination
for the Mayoralty next spring. They
point to the fact that he carried thirty
one OF the thirty-five wards In the city
and say the organization stands ready
10 fight with him to a finish.
Democratic leaders declare that Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis will sweep
the State in the campaign against Nc
Cormick this November. The McCor-
mick and Thompson factions. they say
never can come to an understanding
In face of this the Mayor to-day de-
clared he would back Mccormick to the
limit when final returns absolutely in
dictate the primary winner.
