BEDLAM LOOSE
IN CHICAGO AS
CAMP AIGN ENDS
BurIesque RACES With Flow Of
0ratory and Many Fistic
Fights Take Place
in Streets.

Chicago, March 50.-Chicago's
municipal campaign for mayor
closed with carnival OF noise and
downtown spectacles which many
observers declared had not been
equalled in years. Besides circus
rings there were stages to accom-
modate the numerous performers
supporting each of the six candi-
dates for mayor at the election on
Tuesday next.
Bands blared through the down
town streets all day; automobiles
loaded with political workers, their
vehicles beflagged and pennant dec
Grated, showered hand bills; women
filled automobile trucks and with
megaphones proclaimed the names
of their favorite candidates; clowns
paraded; soldiers and sailors in
small companies marched; the bust
ness heart of the city was bedlam
as the burlesque ragged, with street
corner oratory flowing from bal
comics, boxes and automobiles. Num-
erous fistic encouters occurred, with
out serious results SO far as reported.
Mayor William Hale Thompson,
republican; County Clerk Robert M.
Sweitzer, democrat, and States At
torney Maclay Hoyne, a democrat
running as an. independent candidate
by petition, each claimed victory to-
night by large pluralities.
Other candidates are John Fitz-
patrick, labor party; John M. Col
Inns, socialist, and Adolph Carm. So
cialist labor. Besides the mayor s.
aldermen and other municipal Off
GERS are to be elected.
Mayor Thompson, elected four
years ago over Sweitzer by $4,000,
has been assaulted by his opponents
on his war record, and also as a
servant of public utilities, which he
denied. Public utility favoritism
has been the principal charge also
against Sweitzer, and both he and
Thompson have been charged by
Hoyne of being machine candidates.

British Admiralty Plans
Redistribution of Fleet

London, March 30.-The West
minister Gazette says there is to be
redistribution of the British fleet
which in future will be composed
as follows:
The Atlantic fleet; the home fleet,
the Mediterranean fleet. the West
Atlantic squadron, the China squad
ron, the Cape squadron, the South
American squadron and the East
Indies squadron.
Each of the squadrons, the news
paper says, will include four light
cruisers, but the question of COM
mands has not yet been settled.
Cruiser squadrons are again to take
overseas stations.
1t is probable, the Gazette says,
that greater number of ships OF the
home fleet will be maintained with
nucleus crews, although it may be
assumed that the admiralty, before
making definite arrangements, is
awaiting the decisions of the Paris
conference and that the present dis
tributon is merely provisional.

The senate is considerably ahead
OF the house on its schedule because
OF the smaller membership and
consequently more rapid action in

rying over $l,000,000, Us still being
threshed out in the house and re-
mains to be disposed of in the SEN
ate. The university appropriation
measures, which generally clutter up
the proceedings in the final few days
of the session, are out of the way III
both house and senate.
1t is certain that the good roads
bills in the senate are bound to give
more trouble than any other because
oil the determined effort of some Of
the members to submit amendments.
Chairman Ainlay OF the senate
roads committee warned his collie
CUES that if the senate started i'll to

was starting good chance of block
ing any road legislation since the

which it desired to tack on the bills
but did not with the understanding
that the senate would make no
changes.

are the following from his pen:

morning, my SOM"
"Ah, yes, see. That music is not
good that's a pity. That's what you
go to church for. TO hear the music.
And the less we pay, the better music
we demand"
And the pews are not comfortable.
That's too bad--the Sabbath is a day
of rest, and we go to church for re-
pose The less we do through the
week. the more rest we clamor for on
the Sabbath"
"'The church is so far away It is
too far to walk, and detest riding in
street car, and they're always
deed distressing Sometimes when !
think how much farther away Heaven
liz than the church. and that there are
no conyeyances OF any description on
the road. I wonder how some OF us
are going TO get there"
"'And the sermon is so long. al
ways All these things are, indeed
to be regretted. would regret them
more sincerely, my boy. did ] not know
that you will often squeeze into a
stuffed street car with hundred other
men, breathing an incense OF whiskey,
beer and tobacco. hang on a strap by
your eyelids for two miles. and then
pay so cents for the privilege OF sit
ting on a rough plank in the broiling
sun for two hours longer. while in the
intervals OF the game scratch band
win blow discordant thunder out OF
dozen misfit horns right into your ears,
and come home to talk the rest OF the
family into n state OF aural paralysis
about the dandiest game you ever saw
played on that ground"
"Ah, my boyl You see what stay
ing away from church does II de-
veiops a habit OF lying. There isn't
one man in a hundred who could go
on the witness stand and give. under
oath. the same reasons for not going
to church that he gives TO his family

wouldn't make any excuses for not
going.
