Control of Cook County,:
Disorder in Chicago;

CHICAGO, April Ex-Governor Frank
o. Lowden carried his home state to-
day on the face of incomplete unof.
cial returns in the Republican Prcs-
Dental preference primary, with Ma jor
General Leonard Wood second and Sen
ator Hiram johnson third. the latter'.s
name being written in by the voters.
Returns from 4,544 precincts out of
$500 gave Lowden 210,553; Wood 141
271, and johnson 37,O2S. These returns
were from 80 counties out of 1902
General Wood carried Chicago and
Cook County, but Governor Lowden' S
vote in the state outside of Chicago
gave him lead which progressed
steadily with the counting of returns.
Lowden Wins 27 Delegates
Nearly complete unofficial returns in
dicated the following selection of dis
trict delegates to the Republican Ma
tional Convention:
For Lowden: Twenty seven.
No preference: Seventeen.
All except one Of the no-preference
delegates were from the Chicago Con-
gressional districts.
In Illinois. delegates file their pref
erence before election.
Edgar j. Cook, who declared for
Johnson after he had filed as candi-
date for delegate without preference,
was elected in the 10th district.
Only the names of Wood and Lowden
appeared on the ballot Senator John
sons strength was in Chicago, where
most of his votes appeared. Herbert
Hoover's name appeared on some of
the Republican ballots. There 'were
no Democratic primary candidates for
President. but the names of more than
half dozen Democrats were written
in the ballots in scattering returns.
Women Cast Courtesy Vote
Governor Lowden and General Wood
were the only candidates who made
any speaking campaigns in Illinois.
Women cast courtesy vote in many
counties. and in some places the cleo
ton clerks failed to separate men and
women ballots. The women's vote,
however, was so comparatively light as
not to affect the result, and it was
divided in much the same ratio as the
male vote.
In Chicago. where the Presidential
preference primary was combined with
an election of ward committeeman, the
kidnapping Of election judges and work
ers, shooting. slugging and other acts
of violence marked the balloting,
Mayor William Hale Thompson Re-
publican National Committeeman from
Illinois. gained full control of the Re-

next four years through the election

backing.
Anti-SalOon League Aids Lowder
The powerful machinery Of the Anti
Saloon League Of Illinois was thrown
behind Governor Lowden in his battle
with General Wood This was done as
a reward for the Governors signing
the drastic search and seizure bill
passed by the last General Assembly.
This measure makes any beverage con-
tanning more than half Of per cent of
alcohol illegal in Illinois and provides

Joan and the DdTbY

What's become OF the old-fash
ioned couple who used to get all
marriaged up and then grow old
and gray together? Their place has
been copped by the fashioned
couple who marry and grow old and
gray together-in about six weeks.
The average marriage Is ] We at
first sight. Then she takes another
sight and sues him for 100000
Federal reserve certificates. He
grabs another sight and garnishees
her alimony for 500, 900 Of the feath-
ers that line the u. S. Treasury nest.
That's fixing the sights rather high.
Remember the catch line In the
old fairy tales? And they lived
happily ever after.
Now. they live happily ever after,
for a short time at least.
That was a beautiful story about
Joan and Darby. Joan was the gal
and Darby was the man. They
loved each other for themselves
alone.
Same now. married couple love
each other for themselves alone.
He loves himself and she loves her
self.
The Joan and Darby stuff now
means that there must be lot of
Darby or there amt going to be no
Joan.
The alimony census shows that
Joan may fall in love at frst sight.
but it's in mirror.
Darby also has a photograph OF
himself in the back OF his dollar
watch.
When they speak OF happily
married couple, they don't explain
the thing. A couple OF what?
A couple of burglars. The ink
