Mayor Will Be Candidate for Reelection
Next Spring. His Followers Said to
Be Aggressive and Eager

Mayor Thompson will be a candi-
date for reelection next spring.
~&
The Eagle predicted this a week ago
and on Saturday last the formal an
nouncement was made at big Repub
lican demonstration at Riverview
Park.
Samuel A. Ettelson, corporation
counsel and state senator, made the
nominating speech for the mayor,
which was enthusiastically received
by the city hall contingent. Candi-
dates for county Offices belonging to
the Deneen and Grove -Brundage fac
tions, who lined the platform two
deep, were not notably jubilant at this
stage of Senator Ettelson's address.
Mayor Thompson, who occupied
seat down in the crowd, received
placidly the cheers that came when
the corporation counsel said:
Chicago is the greatest city in the
world at this moment and the man
who is largely responsible for it's
greatness is our mayor, William Hale
Thompson. Mayor Thompson will be
renominated and reelected mayor
next spring upon his platform of peo-
pies ownership and the 3 cent street
car fare. He stands today, in my
judgment, the most courageous man
in the United States of America, and
/ make no exceptions for any individ-
ual, public or private"
Politics have taken hold this week

1922 is now in full blast

The Republicans have established
headquarters in the Congress Hotel
to manage the western Republican
contests for the election of United
States senators and members of the
house of representatives including
within the territory all of the states
west of Pittsburgh. The Republican
national committee and the congress
sional campaign committee, of which
Senator Medill Mccormick is the
chairman, will operate together from
rooms at the Congress hotel, used by
the Lowden forces along "Presiden-
tial Row" during the national conven-
ton of 1920.

The -Brundage people are
likely to get it in the neck from the
Twenty-ninth district Thompson men
The Thompson crowd are very strong
in this district which comprises the
old 21st and 22nd wards. The 22nd
ward was the only ward in the city
carried by the Thompson judicial
ticket in June, 1921, when the Thomp
son crowd fought the Coalition slate
for judges. Some Twenty-second
Ward Thompson men can make the
ballot talk so it is reported. If Judge
Righeimer is so anxious to obtain in
formation about affairs there he might
call a gentleman named jaeger who
is alleged to have done some grea
work that day.
