Chicago Sept. 15.-Repubican and
Democratic candidates for United
States senator. representatives, gov
ernor and nearly 90 state offices were
balloted upon by men and women in
Illinois today The bitter campaign
which developed between two factions
in the Republican party, was expected
to result in the largest vote in the
states history. Warm weather with
probably showers by night was pre-
dicted
Republican fractional Fight
The Republican fractional fight CEN
tered around the ticket headed by
Len Small. Of Kankakee, and support
ed by Mayor William Hale Thompson
Of Chicago to which was opposed that
headed by John G. Oglesby, lieutenant
governor, supported by Governor
Frank o. Lowden.
The announcement by Sheriff w
Peters Of Cook county of the appoint
ment of more than 1000 deputies
for duty at the polls, drew charges
from the Thompson faction Of at
tempted intimidation and instructions
to the police to arrest any deputies
found violating city ordinances or
election regulations. Sheriff Peters
said that this interference with the
deputies might lead to bloodshed."
Charges Against LOwden
One Of the principal campaign argu-
ments advanced by the Thompson
supporters related to the increase
from five to eight cent fares in Chi
cago surface cars. In contract be-
tween the city and the street car
company having several years to run,
the fares were to be retained at five
cents. Mayor Thompson charged Gov
ernor Lowden with undue interfer-
ence in Chicago affairs, because of the
permission given to raise the fares
by the state utilities commission.
Senatorial Fight
The principal senatorial fight on the
Republican ticket also was between
Lowden and Thompson candidates.
The man favored by Governor Low
den Is Representative W. b. McKin-
ley Of Champaign, while the candidate
supported by Mayor Thompson is
Frank L. Smith. of Dwight, con-
gressman. A third candidate is Bur-
nett NJ. Chipperfield, of Canton, q
former representative.
Candidates for Democratic nomina'
ton for governor was James Hamilton

KANSAS WOMAN
ADDRESSES THE
LOCAL c. D. P.
Mrs. McCarter From Sun
flower State Urges the
Defeat of Scott Ferris
for the Senate

A representative gathering Of the
Republican men and women of Ard
more gathered at Convention Hall last
night to hear Mrs. Margaret McCarter,
the well-known speaker and authoress.
Mrs. McCarter was introduced by
L. s.. Dolman, local attorney. Mr..
Doiman stated that he had known
Mrs. McCarter since early childhood
and that they had lived near each
other at Topeka, Kansas He stated
that in Republican community, the
speaker who honored the occasion of
last night, would have been heard
by capacity audience, however, since
Ardmore is a Democratic community,
the gathering present at Convention
Hall was a strong representation, even
though small in size.
Praises Oklahoma
Mrs. McCarter was high in her
praise of Oklahoma and Ardmore. A
state with touch of honest industrial
endeavor, with riches untold, with
population composed of noble minded
men and women, was the manner in
which she spoke OF Oklahoma.
Explains Purpose 1f Visit
The purpose Of her visit to Ard
more, explained Mrs. McCarter, was
chiefly to speak to the women voters.
"I hope the men will pardon me If |
confine my remarks chiefly to the
women" she said, because l have
been married to the best man in the
world for over 80 years, and know
when not to-"
Mrs. McCarter spoke Of the great
problems of civilization which the
world is facing today. She divided
them into several groups including,
industry, education. child labor prob
lem literacy Of immigrants, health
and finance.
Industrial Conditions
Speaking of industrial conditions,
Mrs. McCarter stated that the United
States Is now on the verge Of the
greatest financial crisis that this coun-
try may ever experience. No one
man" she stated "can promise you
reduction of taxes. And neither
can anybody, for we have contracted
debts which must be paid. Borrowed
money has been spent and taxation
is the only H1etHou ny "HiSi SNtiiN'S"e
funds to repay the loans can be OBJ
tained"
Child Labor Problem
As to education. the speaker stated
that hte school Of the United States
must be conducted along the most
educational lines, and a high standard
must be maintained.
THE child labor problem" said Mrs
McCarter. sis vital subject. We
must not permit the children Of Am
erica to slave at q time when they
should be attending the schools"
In speaking Of the illiterate immi-

pie. We were shocked when the

TWO CAUSES OF ACTION
OBTAINED IN CHA RICE
AGAINST CHIEF Of POLICE
BY THE CITY OFFICIALS

Two causes Of action are contained
In the charges which were filed against
Chief Of Police Chancellor at the
meeting of the board Of commissioners
last night, and filed with the city
clerk today.
The first cause states that at vari-
Gus times the chief has been instruct
ed by the mayor and commissioners
to enforce certain laws, and that the
chief failed and refused TO do SO.
The second cause of action was
brought about by the police action
in the recent raid conducted on
Ernest Keys pool room on A street
northwest. on September ith. police
men raided the pool room on infor-
nation received that there was gamb-
ling going on there. When the
police had gained entrance to n rear
room where they found 20 men as
sembled. Key asked the officers why
they had made the raid, and also
stated that Chief Of Police Chancellor
had instructed him 10 go ahead and
omen the place. The police then called
the, chief on the telephone, and re-
cclyed instructions from the chief to
turn the men loose, which instruct
ions were followed out. Complaints
were afterward filed against Ernest
Key. Bob Matthews, Ernest Enloe'
and seven others. But. states the
complaint. warrants covering said
complaints have never been executed
and none of the parties were taken
in charge except the three men named.
Cites Ordinance
The complaint states that an ordi-
nance requires that the chief and Off
GERS take immediate possession when
they raid a place such as Keys, and
keen Il locked until such time as II is
known gambling will no longer take
place there. This the chief Is alleged
TO have failed TO do.
The commissioners voted unanimous
ly that the charges be filed.

The Dark Ways of Men

Another of the indefensible tricks
that have been used in certain
parts of the South to prevent the
women from voting is reported
from Tampa, Florida.
The women of that city were no.
tilted that they need not go to the
registration officials to register for
the general election, but that the
books would be taken to the
homes, instead. As result, they
remained away from the registra-
ton places and waited for the
books to be brought to them.
They waited in vain, however;
and after some time had passed,
they began to inquire why the
books were not being circulated.
They found, of course, that there
was no intention of taking the
registration books to the homes,
and further that the time was
nearly up for registering. 1t IS
said that the awakening was sud-
den and violent and that the wo-
men invaded the registration places
about as they do a department
store during bargain-day sale. At
any rate, the little scheme of the
politicians came to naught for the
women of Tampa were generally
eligible to vote November I'd.
There are more than "ffty-seven
varieties of tricks for defeating
and impeding the will Of the Amer
lean people that are practlced by
persons who regard themselves as
good citizens and who are active in
public affairs. Most of them fail,
as did this one; but the regrettable
fact is that many of them, alto
gether too many, in fact, succeed.
