PRIMARY WOUNDS
TO bEST|R ILLINOIS
Many Injured by "Axes' in
Yesterdays PolI-Woman
Vote Strong.
BY N. O. MESSENGER.

CHICAGO. September 16.-The ef-
ffofts of leading republicans in both
factions In this state must be devoted
from now on to healing the wounds
which were laid open with battleax
and tomahawk in the recent primaries
against the November elections, and
to ameliorates the effects of the hard
things they said about each other
during this primary contest.
The democratic and independent
voters will be assured. why. OF
course, we never meant all those hard
things we said; twas in the heat of
battle: SO forget it."
Having spent several very active
months painting each other with horns
and hoofs and a forked tail. they must
now rub it all out and begin to adorn
the successful faction with a halo
and some sprouting wings.
Interesting Campaign Aids.
To be sure, Some pretty interesting
campaign material for the democrats
has been kindly prepared by the re-
publicans in this contest lat the pri-
maries. Whichever factional side
wins, it's candidates who are to go be-
fore the voters in November have
been tagged" by fellow republicans
in a way not calculated to recommend
them to circumspect voters.
The one group is charged by per.
fectly good republicans with being
bent upon corrupting Illinois with the
methods of Tammany, Of being affili-
ated with disloyal elements, with bad
city government and vice conditions
and pretty nearly everything that is
reprehensible in politics.
Republican Charges.
The other group IS charged by othe,
equally good republicans with being
intent upon turning the city and
state over to the money barons,.' tc
predatory wealth and. all that sort OF
thing.
If the voter believed all that was
alleged by each side against the otheI
he would find himself in a bad way
to choose between these alternatives
as pictured so odiously, but the saw.

And when they've toured
through sundry bars they climb
into their motor cars, and throw
ON all the motors power, and hit
a hundred miles an hour; and
oftentimes they break their
necks and leave their costly au-

some moral cop stands in the
road and bids them stop, and
leads them to the nearest Jail,
and then a jurist takes their

But at once when the armistice

way which indicated their firm re-

the employer interests that labor had

not been patriotic There was not
word of truth in it. Labor had made
great sacrifices.
Il made an investigation at the
time, and know whereof speak. The
fact was that labor had received from

fact by the great channels of public

the false charge that labor had pro

echoed all over the country 1t was
done in the interest of the great en-

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Dear Mr.: Editor: Just to start the column you
have urged the people to in order to express
their opinion,41 shall submit the following:
In communities where taxes are high II is Gus
tomary to make retrenchments in the expenditure
of public money This is often very difficult with
out seriously interfering with the efficiency Of
municipal or school administration. These retrench-
mentsaare often suggested BY the officials having
in charge the administration 81 city school affairs
but more often by the taxpayer, the man who FUR
nishes the money Minneapolis only recently sug-
gested having but eight months of school as the
money available from taxation would not permit a
longer term. Bemidji is agitatng school term of
ten months. Is it necessary to have an extra month
of school to accomplish the work in other cities
during nine months? This means an additional
expense of about $1,000 for salaries alone.
We are all interested in bonuses these days. We
