Thomuson's Defeat,

Defeat Of Mayor Thompson's judicial
ticket in Chicago is his first reverse
since he gained the municipal leader
ship in 1915. He has been combined
against by the reform and patriotic
elements on several occasions, but
each time he has had the strength to
win. He had built up a remarkably
strong machine, stronger than that of
Carter Harrison in the old days. This
campaign, it was believed, was design
ed by the mayor to extend his power
to the higher courts. The fear of his
success led to a coalition that, accord
ing to the latest reports, swept the
city by pluralities of from 10000 to
10000. The anti-organization combina-
ton also defeated a proposal for a
nine-million-dollar bond issue for the
erection Of q new Jail. Fear Of big
graft in the construction undoubtedly
caused It's defeat.
Thompson is. Of course. not beaten
yet on his own fighting ground. He
may regain his power in the next
mayoralty campaign, If he chooses to
make the fight. But this victory by a
coalition, in which the women played
a large part, they voting for the first
time in judicial contest, may show
Chicago that the mayor is not unbeat-
able and so greatly weaken his pres
tige even with the gang" All
"bosses" meet their Waterloos eventu-
ally. They rarely die in office or in
power. Thompson is not likely to be
An exception to this rule.
