CHICAGO, April 2.-Complete re-
turns today from yesterdays Munich

petitor, and that the city voted wet"
by a majority of 247,22S.
Four other mayoral candidates were
in the field: Maclay Hoyne (4nd
Dem.), John Fitzpatrick Uabor), John
M. Collins (Soc.) and Adolph s. Carm
(Soc. Labor. The total vote for

ton of 10000 At the mayoralty
election four years ago Thompson de-
feated Sweitzer by more than 147, 200
votes.
Party Votes Cut
Analysis of the vote for mayor in
dicates that Hayne, present states at
torney, drew heavily from the normal
Republican vote, while Fitzpatrick cut
into the Democrats vote. Following
are the figures for the six mayoral
candidates: Thompson 257,SsS; SWEET
ger, 240,2SS; Hoyne, 110,S98; Fitzpat-
rick, 54,467; Collins, 23,104, and Carms
LIS.
The campaign was perhaps the
most bitter ever contested in Chicago
Partisanship, religion and racial feel
ing resulted in demonstrations toward
the close to an extent that frequently
called for police interference.
Although other city officials were on
the ticket, including one alderman for
each of the thirty-five wards, the ex-
citement over the mayoralty race over
shadowed these.

BIRTHS and DEATHS SEE THE WAR TANK G
WILL BE IN LITTLE FALLS ON
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.

The Ninth Federal District has been
able to secure number of war tanks
for exhibition here in the Ninth dis
trict..
The object of having these tanks is
to show the people of the district one
of the strongest war machines used on
the western front, and one that was a
strong factor in beating down and ov-
grooming armed resistance.
The government feels that if these
war tanks are exhibited in the towns
and cities throughout the district and
the entire country, it will create and
boost interest in the coming Liberty
Loan. This war tank will arrive in
Little Falls, from Minneapolis about
$3.50 o clock in the afternoon, Wednes-
day, April 16. It will run off the fat
car under it's own power and will give
an exhibition on the streets Of Little
Falls. =
This is one Of the medium sized tanks.
The largest tank would be too heavy for
a flat car, and unsafe to transport in
that way. This tank is fully camou-
faged and is in charge Of two tank
men. In going through the streets it
will be ready to enter into action the
same as though it were on the battle
fields of France.
These tanks cover ground at the rate
Of six to eight miles per hour. The
fiat car on which the tank is shipped,
carries full equipment Of tools, guns,
and ammunition. The government asks
that a guard be placed on the car from
the time it arrives in Little Falls, un-
til it leaves.
Don It forget the date, Wednesday af-
ternoon, April 16, about $3.50 O'Clock.
