MINORITY RULE IN CHICAGO

Tho perniGious results possible
under a primary dominating system
has just been demonstrated in
Chicago where a very small minor
ity succeeded in renominating Viii
liam Hale Thompson for mayor on
the Republican ticket, and with the
vote Of all elements opposed to
American institutions, combined with
tho profitecrs of his administration,
succeeded in reclecting him.
Thampa0n's course during the war
has been un-Americsn and he has
ct all tlmes Pnndered to the amsti
bot active minority Of the great city
OF Chicago who are in sympathy
with the Bolsheviki and extreme 80
c~ialists Of Europe.
His reelection IL a distinct disgrace
10 the Republican party and a com
domination Of any sy,tem through
which such a result can be aceom-
piisbed
II is a plain care Of minority rule
a small percentage Of the voters
placed him on the ticket of a party
having an overwhelming majority
and the p%arty's PreYondsranoe car
ried him through.

WARREN SAYS BUY STAMPS"

Senator Francis E. Warren, Of
Wyoming, and the new Chairman
Of the Senate Military Committee.
urges the American people to practice
thrift and economy thru the purchase
Of War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
Senator Warren sets forth the fol-
lowing reasons why these Govern
ment securities constitute excellent
investments both from the national
and p~ersonal viewpoints:
aside from the benefits derived
by the Government thru the sale of
War Savings and Thrift Stamps,
saving thru lending to the Govern
ment 10 a concrete form of practical,
constructive citizenship. When Ame-
RIGA entered the War there were
only about $4,000 holders of Govern
ment securities and today there are
over 30,000,O0O. Thus the Lessons Of
thrift and realization of how savings
aids tho small salary Garner and
every day citizen in forging ahead
has multiplied the number of %securi-
ty holders by six-hundred, aud in
the short period spanned by a period
of time of less than two years. At
the outset of the war we were re-
~cognized as an extrevagant peo-
Pile, and now those who are able
to read the signs OF the times declare
tina. American citizens are begin.
ming to follow in the footsteps OF
the French, the thriftiest of races.
BY purchasing these Government
securities we become co-paftners
with the Government.
These reasons why we should save
and invest in Government securities
are motives of everyday patriotism,
When we lend the Government our
savings by purchasing War Savings
and Thrift Stamps we are aiding in
creating a citizenship, a body of
active citizens less susceptible to
pernic;ous influences because they
have a tangible share in running the
machinery OF Government. The
thrift habit stimulates a desire for
knowledge of the operations Of the
Government, and makes for a more
intelligent and enlightened citizen.

This includes 100000 pounds of

1t would seem that future pol;cie,
would require s~tricter utilization Of

With the cooperation Of the gov

industry can absorb the wool pro-.

But it takes two year. and with
reviving demands for clothing on the
