LOWDEN FOR President

Gov. Lowden's presidential boom has
been launched in the east by Con-
gresham William B. Mckinley, of
Champaign. who was Taft's campaign
manager in 1912. In an article to be
published in the May issue OF Les.

been sent out. Mr.. Mckinley. under
the caption, why Better Times Are
at Hand" says 1920 is to be Repub.
lican year.
"ln Illinois," he writes, I'VE have a
former congressman who has made
a great record as a peoples governor
and as war governor-Frank O..
Lowden. I am for Lowden for the
next president of the United States.
THE November, 1918, election and
the local elections Of this winter and
spring have served notice that Repub-
lican times are coming, that the peo-
pie are tired OF professional theories
and socialism. that inefficiency and pa.
ternalism must end, and that they
look to the Republican party to wipe
out autocratic government and restore
the constitution. A Republican con.
gress will act now as a servant Of the
people and not Of a president"

FOR New CHICAGO
POST Office

Chicago is going to have a new
postofiice OH the West Side, accord
ing to Chairman Wacker of the Chi.
cago Plan Commission.
II is planned to draft new bill to
take the place of the bill killed when
the senate failed to pass the big
appropriation bill at the last con-
gress. The new billy will be turned
over to one of Illinois congressman
for presentation to the house.
There is no doubt" said Mr.. Wack-
er, that we will get the new post
office. II is my understanding that
the previous bills have had the sup
mort of the house Of representatives,
which realizes the drastic situation
Chicago faces. They have come to
know that the new postoffice will
not only be of great service to Chi.
cago. but to the entire middle west.
because 1t Is here that large pro.
portion Of the mail is distributed.
"The Chicago postofiice is the
most profitable one In the United
States and we have had less consid.
GRAFTON from congress than any
other large city. We would have had
the appropriation two years ago II
the war had not interfered with It and
other internal improvements"

RAILROAD SUITS DISMISSED.

On motion OF Attorney General Ed
ward J. Brundage. Judge Charles M.
Foell in the Superior court dismissed
charges OF contempt Of court against
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and
twenty-five other railroads operating
in Illinois, which have been pending
since 1917.
On May 90, 1917, the attorney gen.
eral obtained an injunction restraining
the railroads from increasing intra-
state rates from 2h cents mile after
the interstate commerce commission
ruled that interstate rates might be
increased from 2 cents a mile to 2h
cents.
The decision was upheld by the ILL.
nois Supreme court. The railroads
continued to violate Judge Foells In.
junction by charging 2h cents. They
weer cited for contempt. Immediately
an agreement was entered into where
by the contempt case was continued
indefinitely on the promise OF the rail-
roads 10 allow a rebate to buyers OF
tickets should the decision Of the
Superior court be upheld by the
United States Supreme court.
Judge Foell's decision was upheld
by the United States Supreme court
Since then the railroads have paid
back more than 100000 to the pub
lie in rebates.

NEED HOUSE NUMBERS
Over Half the Residences, Stores,
Apartment Buildings and Other
Structures in Chicago Are
Without Them.

The casual observer cannot fail to
notice that one of the crying needs
of Chicago is street numbers on the
buildings.
Since the passage of the new street
car ordinance, which provides for
the stopping Of the cars at even
numbered corners only, the absence
of the numbers is painfully notice.
able, and much annoyance is felt in
consequence.
Letter carriers and others who have
long suffered from this fragrant dis
regard Of the law requiring numbers
on every house, have grown tired Of
uttering complaints. No attention
was paid to them.
Whole blocks all over Chicago are
without numbers, and no one in au.
thority appears to care about the
fact.

CHANGING OUR LOCAL ELECTION
SYSTEM.

Our whole local election system is
to be revolutionized.
Hereafter the more interest mem.
bers OF a political party take in a
primary the less chance they will
have OF winning the election.
For instance, five men are candi-
dates for the democratic nomination.
They divide the party vote at the
primary.
The republicans have but one can.
didate, and he polls all the party vote.
II this amounts to majority vote,
over all the democratic candidates,
the primary vote elects the republi.
can automatically under this law.
Chicago's nonpartisan election bill
was passed Tuesday by the senate by
a vote Of 20 to 10. 1t now goes to
the house, where there may be more
trouble in store for the measure than
was demonstrated in the senate.
The important features Of the bill
as IL comes out OF the senate are
these:
Partisan primaries for the nomina-
ton OF mayor, city clerk, city treas
uTtT, epo''SHN"'
Instead, primary candidates shall
file nominating petitions upon which
there must be not less than per cent
nor more than 5 per cent OF the vote
cast at the last preceding election In
the particular territory for which
nominations are made.
The names are placed upon the pri'
mary ballot alphabetically and ro
tated by precincts, so that each can
didate shall have top place equally
with all other candidates.
There shall be non.partisan pri
mary on the last Tuesday in March
II any candidate gets majority OF al
votes cast he is automatically elected
II no candidate gets majority o.
all the votes cast the two highest can
didates go to an election TO be helt
on the last Tuesday in April.
II the bill becomes a law 1t vii
make the election of a "minorit!
mayor" an impossibility, as it pro
vides that the final test, If one is nee
essary, shall be between two candi
dates only, those receiving the high
est and the second highest number o
votes at the preliminary primary.
Such a law would probably hav'
changed the results of several recen
Chicago city elections, including thu
last one.
The bill was introduced by Senate
Barbour at the request OF the civil
organizations which met in common
cour III at the City club shortly afte
last Noyember's election to discus
ways and means of putting Chicago
case as 10 all pending legislation u
