THombsonS Political
Machine Near Dissolution

Defeated in the June judicial elections
in Chicago. baked in its program to domi-
nate the state of Illinois, through its con
troll of the governor and legislature and
now faced with a rebelli0us city council,
the supposedly invincible political Chicago
City Hall machine, of which Mayor VIII
liam Hale Thompson is the titular head,
now seems well along the path toward dis
solution, says a Chicago dispatch to the
New York Times.
\ year ago. during the Republican ma
tional convention, the Thompson organ
izatiOn was at the height of its power. 1t
claimed credit for the defeat of Governor
Frank o. Lowden for the Republican
nomination for president and was Offering
Mayor Thompson tentatively as the "logl-
CAL candidate from Illinois in 1924,
Gaining control of the state as well as
city patronage by the nomination and
election of Len Small as governor, Mayor
Thompson and Fred Lundin, believed by
many to be the real head of the Thompson
organization. are now facing possible po-
litical extinction. They have lost much
political power and prestige within the
tpaSt six months.
The Lundin-ThOmpsOn organization by
a primary plurality of less than 10000
too late for an investigation of alleged
frauds in ChicagO dominated Small for
governor last september, anu lie CdtIlet'
the state by n large plurality along with
President Harding and the rest of the
Republican ticket. Governor Small went
into Office in January with unquestioned
control of both the senate and the house,
organized both branches and put cut an
administration program of legislation gen
orally understood to have been inspired
by Mayor Thompson and Mr.. Lundin.
In June, despite othee: of both state and
city ngfrouaUp tbi Sss$fSaOpram
dated in both house1he Small-Thomp-
son-Aundin combination lost practical "
every friendly senator, and insurgents in
the house took away everything but the
administrations control of the speaker
ship.
The revolt at the state capitol at
Sprinfeld dated from the judicial cleo
tions in Chicago, when the Thompson can
didates for judges of the circuit and supe-
rior courts were defeated by pluralities
averaging more than 100000. During the
campaign, it was charged openly that the

Thompson candidates had been hand
picked by the machine The defeat was
so complete that no attempt at an explain
alton was ever made by either the mayor
or Mr.. Lundin.
The effect of this defeat entirely mex
pected by the rest Of the state, was instan-
taneous. The legislature at once de-
feated the se-called Thompson-Lundin
''fve-cent fare bill, designed to provide
Mayor Thompson with a somewhat time
worn campaign issue.
The Legislature then defeated the gov
ernor's public utilities commission bill,
upon which he had largely based his cam
paign and which pretended to grant home
rule to the cities of the state. 1t then
defeated the administration bill exempt
ing more than 1000 state positions from
civil service protection and the admins
trations tax commission bill, which would
have permitted the governor to have APP
pointed state tax commission of three
members.
a revolt followed in the Chicago city
council. which had been subservient to
Mayor Thompson for the past five or six
years. The council cut the budget and
| threw out many temporary employees, -
who, it was said. had been placed on the
! payroll as a reward for political services.
| 1t called a halt on-large payments to

one year for their services. Some of these

the city more than S3.000.00O which has
! been paid to them.
/ The attorney general of the state has
started grand jury proceedings to inquire
! into Governor Smalrs alleged failure
while state treasurer, to turn over to the
state all interest on public money.
| Mayor Thompsons firm of office lasts
until Dee. 81. 1923, so there will be no

jar is de rigueur) The king oftenfeomcs
for the premiere Of a new picture. Us
ually the film is well-worn French or
American product, which has been
broken so often and pieced together
so quantity that following the story be
comes an acrobatic feat. The Siamese
follow it eagerly, unmndful of strange
gaps ia the plot. But Charlie Chaplin
may Gambol in vain if the king is in

backs on the screen to look at royalty
