Chicago. April Electors of the
city are balloting for mayor and other
city officers today, after campaign
said to have been the most bitter IN
the history of the municipality.
With the six candidates in the heid
for mayor, partisan, religious ana rae
ial hatreds famed high during tle
campaign, which ended last night with
riotous scenes in the central district
which extra police detailed had difii-
Guilty in controlling at times.
The candidates for mayor are:
William Hale Thompson (republi-
cam, incumbent.
Robert NJ. sweitzer (democrap'
county clerk.
Maclay Hoyne independent demo-
craD. states attorney.
John Fitzpatrick 0abor), pres dent
Chicago Federation OF Labor.
John NJ. Collins. ((socialisD.
Adolph s. Carm (socialist labor-)
Each OF the four leading candidates
claims his election today. altho politi-
cal forecasters say they are at loss
to make anything like credible pre-
dictions.
Among the propositions appearing on
the little ballot" accompanying the
mayoralty ballot is the proposition
Shall Chicago become anti saloon ter
ritory?' This proposition was not al
lowed on the ballot Of the preceding
election and the "drys" brought suit
against the election Of officials which
resulted in decision Of the supreme
court several weeks ago that the pro-
position should be submitted to the
voters.
In view Of the government ruling
soon 20 become effective on the adop-
ton Of the amendment to the consti-
tuition the "drys" decided to make no
campaign for adoption OF the local
prohibition proposition. The "wets''
however. have conducted q. vigorous
campaign against the proposition with
the slogan Let congress hear your re-
quest" The polls opened at o'clock
and close at 4 o'clock.
A heavy vote was presaged by the
early balloting. In the first hour and
n half from 90 to % per cent Of the
vote had been recorded. The weather
was cool and clear.
A feature of the day was a technical
strike of more than. score of unions
in behalf of John Fitzpatrick. candi-
date for mayor Of the newly formed
labor party. The strike was FOR the
day only and was to give strikers an
opportunity to electoneer.
1t was the theory of students OF
local politics that the Fitzpatrick vote
would come largely from democratic
sources, thus weakening Robert NJ.
Sweitzer. the democratic candidate.
and that the vote for Maclay Hoyne.
independent. would be recruited largely
from that which normally would go to
the republican candidate. in this case
Mayor William Hale Thompson.
Women as well as men are eligible
voters and a total vote OF 100000 was
predicted. -

nation Of the old world from making

anywhere else.
Merely an Extension.
If the league OF nations had been
in existence 100 years ago, the decla-
ration Of the Monroe doctrine would
not have been necessary. The leagnc

between fourteen nations.
