from hour to hour. After the Chicago
precincts had kept the Thompson can.
didates in the van for some time be-
cause OF earlier returns, the STATE
figures pushed the Lowden slate tc
the fore. the Chicago counting hating
for a time after about third OF the
vote had been counted. Then returns
from some 800 additional city polling
places were tabulated and the Thomp-
son men once more stepped ahead OF
their opponents for time.
IS Plurality to Precinct.
Belated reports from downstate
then began to come in. showing as high
as seventy-five plurality to the pre-
cinct for Mckinley and Oglesby. As
the night wore on and the balance wav-
ments that the city would give HIS can
didate from $4,000 to 100000 plurality.
while Lieut.. Gov. Oglesby asserted that
he would carry the state outside the
metropolis by 10000. each contending
that the regional victory Of the other
would be overcome.
Among the congressional contests
was that of Joseph G. Cannon of Dam
ville,i in the nineteenth district. He
was in the rrar on early returns, but
finally forget! to. the front for vic
tory.
Regardless vt the final outcome in
the contests, Mayor Thompson won
possible control of the election ma
chfnery in Cook county by nominating
his candidate for county judge.
The contest was equally close for all
state officers on the republican ticket,
but still was uneven enough to make
possible the nomination of some men
from both sides, ewing to the intense
campaign that was waged. In the
race for congressman at large, Will
liam F. Mason. incumbent, supported
by Thompson. had a large lead, with
Richard Yates and Stephen Day next
in order, while JOHN j. Brown was
fourth.
