County Judge Elect Not Likely to Be
Unseated in Event of Supreme
Court Victory by Olson
Governor Small Will Issue Commission to Righeimer
1t Is Said, and Disregard All Other Tangles

any intention of making such a re-
quest to the governor.
Should Gov. Lowden take the posi-
ton on his own initiative, however,
and should the Supreme court fail
to act meantime, there is no doubt
after his election would be to issue
the commission as county judge to
Mr.. Righeimer.
Gov. Lowden was induced by Gordon
A. Ramsey, public administrator of
Cook county, to declare the county
judgeship vacant and call the special
election for this Office which was held
Nov. 2. Mr.. Olson's friends, among
them Attorney General Brundage and
former Governor Deneen, it is under
stood, urged Gov. Lowden not to call
the election.
They argued that the Office of county
judge was being capably filled by
judge James T. Burns of Kankakee,
and advised the governor to let the
matter go pending decision by the
Supreme court on the Olson appeal.
Mr.. Brundage, Mr.. Deneen and Coun-
ty Clerk SweitZer, who had called
Judge Burns to sit in the Cook Coun-
ty court, all believed, it was reported,
that Gov. Lowden would not call the
election and they were in no amiable
frame of mind when they learned that
Ramsey had settled it,

BRUkDAGE BEAT

Attorney General Polls the Larg-
est Plurality on Republican
State Ticket in Chicago.

The Board of Election Commission
ers gave out official results on the
election in Chicago on Tuesday. Here
is the vote on the state ticket:
overnor-Small 450,4S5; Lewis,
313,625 Smalls plurality, 136,S60
Lieutenant-g governor = S Sterlin 6
Rep), 1896; Williams (Dem), 24S,-

State Auditor Russell CRep), 532,-

plurality, 325,756
State Treasurer-Miller (Rep), 510,-
443; Ryan Oem.), 228,252. Miller's
plurality, 282,291.
Attorney-generai- Brundage (Rep.),
531, 1856; Burns (Dem J. 210,56S. Brun-
dage's plurality, 32O,76S.
The total Chicago vote was a record
breaker Out of a total registration
of 100000 in Chicago and Cicero 1885,
626 votes were cast. The number of
men voting was 522, ,767 and women
312,859.
The final figures show the remark
able run made by James Hamilton
Lewis for governor. The general
opinion of the political experts is that
Lewis would have swept Chicago in
any ordinary election and was de-
feated simply because of the unusual
landslide for Harding and Coolidge.

possibility that Frank S. Righeimer's
election Nov. may go for naught.
Mr.. Olson's brief, filed at Spring
field, it is said, is based solely on the
law in the case, his principal conten-
ton being that Judge FOel should
have thrown out in their entirety the
votes of 289 Chicago precincts.
Lawyers say that decision by the
Supreme court sustaining Mr.. Olson's
contention would seat him as judge
and mean that there was no vacancy
in the County court to which Mr.. Rig
heimer could have been elected.
Tt is understood that Mr.. Righeime1
and his friends in their conferences al
West Baden have decided to fight the
Olson appeal with all their might.
There was suggestion that Gov
Lowden, from whom Mr.. Righeimel
must obtain a commission, may de
eide to hold it up pending decision
| by the Supreme court. 1t was denied
| however, that Mr.. O1son's friends hat

Hubbard Woods, Glen Ellyn and so on
ad infinitum.
These provinces pay exchange rates
to the Chicago Telephone Company, in
addition to which they pay Toll.
Now 95 per cent of the calls sent
or received in the above named prov
inces and others not named are to or
from Chicago
And the toll bills mount up as
everybody who has experienced them
knows
Everything in the provinces is
charged for-and such charges.
For instance, a party in Oak Park
desired to talk to Garfield 1888. By
mistake the party calling gave the
wrong exchange and was given Ked-
zie 1888. The party at Kedzie 1888
promptly answered and told the party
calling that they had the wrong ex-
change. Only a minutes time con-
sumed.
Then the right exchange-Garfield
S2S3-was called for and the right
number, strange to say, came to the
phone at the first tap of the bell.
The Oak Park party received the
following toll bill on October 1:
Kedzie 1888, toll SIS cents, war tax
10 cents.
Garfield 1888, toll 10 cents.
This is plain, truthful sample of the
kind of toll expenses Chicago people
in the provinces pay to the Chicago
Telephone Company.
All tolls for telephone within twen-
ty miles of the Chicago City Hall
should be abolished.
There are progressive and intelli-
gent men at the head of the Chicago
Telephone Company and they can
easily see that the abolition of tolls
will popularize their service and great
ly increase their receipts.

surer will be elected for two year
terms as in the past. The new statute
changing the terms of city clerk and
city treasurer to four years, which was
indorsed by referendum Nov. 2, does
not go into effect until the election of
the city clerk and city treasurer in
April, 1923.
The talk is that the city hall lead
ers will put up a candidate with a
German name for city treasurer and
that they may select Aid. John P Gar
ner as their choice for city clerk. Aid.
Gamers term as councilman from the
33rd ward expires next spring and he
was defeated at the September pri-
mary as the city hall candidate for
recorder of deeds against Recorder
Joseph F. Haas, the only anti-Thomp-
son man to be nominated.
Some democrats talk of seeking de-
feat by nominating City Clerk Igoe
for city treasurer.
Candidates for city clerk and city
treasurer will run on party tickets.
They will be nominated at party pri-
maries the last Tuesday in February.
Nonpartisan candidates for aldermen
also will be elected on that day in all
wards where any one candidate sue
ceeds in polling a majority of the votes
cast. These aldermanic candidates
will run upon a separate ballot.
The republicans, democrats and So
piq1ictc will hn ontit1pd RI hold por+v
primaries to select their nominees for
city clerk and city treasurer next

Forty thousand of them live in the
province of Oak Park, which is only

majority of the residents of Hyde Park

Conditions in the Loop streets de-

The congestion is now so great that
it is almost impossible to walk, let
alone ride about except at a snail's
pace.
The city should take measures to
establish and maintain adequate park

North, West and South sides.
Then all street traffic within the
Loop should be prohibited between

Million Chicago Business and Profess
New Chicago Telephone Directory
Victims of Tolls in Nearby Villages Not Listed at
Residences at All and Are Indignant

The new Chicago Telephone d.
rectory just issued for the October
period has aroused widespread indig-
nation.
Chicago business and professional
men who reside in a hundred nearby
suburbs are wrathy over the fact that
their residence phones are not listed
in the main directory.
A person wanting to call a Chicago
business man at his suburban resi-
dence after business hours will be
unable to do so unless he knows his
home telephone number, for he will
not find Ii in the city directory.
The phone company in wedding out
the thousands of names of suburban
residents from the Chicago directory
has hit body blow at some of it's
best patrons.
IL is true that the telephone COM
pany has furnished to each of these
patrons a suburban directory" which
kindly informs the customers of their
own suburban numbers.
But people who are not on the
the company are not furnished with
this information.
A stupider arrangement could not
be invented or inaugurated.
Business and professional men re-
siding in the suburbs can not be
reached by non-suburban subscribers
through the columns of the once use
full Chicago Telephone book.
The amount of trouble annoyance
and unnecessary expense entailed by
this stupid act would be hard to esti-
mate

Permission to consolidate all the
Bell telephone interests in Illinois in
to one company, to be known as the
Illinois Bell Telephone company, was
requested in petition filed with the
public utilities commission.
Under the petition the Chicago Tele-
phone company would purchase the
property of the Central Union Tele-
phone company-the state Bell con-
cern-for $15,500,000, B. E. Sunny,
president of the Chicago concern, tes-
titled before the commission.
THE purpose of the petition is to
place the entire service of the Bell
company in the state in the control of
one management, in the interest of
more uniform practices, increased eff
cheney, and economy" a statement is
sued by the local telephone company
says.
mo changes in rates for telephone
service, or local management, are in
volved in the transaction. If the pur-
chase IS approved the transfer of the
property will take place at an early
date"
The Chicago company at present op-
crates in eight counties adjacent to
Chicago. The Central Union supplies
service to Rockford. Rock Island, Mo-
line, Peoria, Springfield, Decatur and
other cities and towns that have no IN
dependent companies.
I'VE are selling out our holdings in
three states-Illinois, Indiana, and
Ohio" Edgar s. Bloom, president of
the Central Union, told the commits
sion.
'This is being done to liquidate our
affairs and to pay the debt of $40 0,000,-
600 which we owe TO the American
Telephone and Telegraph company.
I'VE plan to sell our Indiana prop
erty for $7,500.000 and our Ohio prop
