tirly different from that conveyed
by the Mccormick -Brundge forces
wednesday morning.
City Hall leaders yesterday, after
going over the final figures, put
forth the claim that they had won
greater victory than they did two
years ago.
Governor Small, before leaving
for Kankakee last night, stated that
fo the ten state senaors nominated
in the down-state districts not more
than three would abe under the COM
plete control of the Mccormick
Brundage people, assuming all
should be elected in November.
Cleau.Uo Here.
In the big fight for control in
Cook county the Thompson forces
pointed out that they had won
sweeping victory, nd late returns
from down-state, they said, indicated
that control of the new state com
mittee may yet be in doubt. But in
Chicago they cleaned up with land
slide votes.
With no county ticket in the field
and ENDORSEMENTS of only four or five
candidates picked out of the generl
list, and within sixty days after the
Grove Barrett detection and the
iaim that the Thampsan orpaniza-
tion was on the rocks the City Hall
Tuesday swept to victory by land
slide votes the men they particular
| ly stood for
Berger Loman, the much-decorat-
ed war hero, to whom Mayor
Thompson personally gave a check
for $4,000 for his campaign expen-
ses, and who was attacked in the
closing days by the Mccormick
Brundage spellbinders as City
Hall entry, won over both the
Grove and Deneen candidate for
the nomination for county clerk by
an unprecedented vote.
Get Big majorities
This was one of the big features
of the contest.
The two members of Governor
smalPs cabnt who had the support
of the City Hall-charles J. Peters
for sanitary district trustee and
George B. Arnold for state central
committeeman in the Sixth Con-
gressional Disrict-rolled up record
breaking majorities against the
combined Brundage- Nc Cormick- De-
neen-Crowe forces.
Peters is state grain inspector and
Arnold is director of labor in the
Governors cabinet.
The Peters candidacy was the one
outstanding place on the Republican
ticket, aside from the fight for state
central committeeman, around which
the Thompson and the Mccormick
Brundage forces had a straight out
and clear cut fight.
Alderman Wallace, who was de-
feated for the omination by Peters
by at least 10000 plurality, was the
particular entry of Attorney General
Brundage, tn hall leaders point out.
Represented Brundage
He comes from Brundage's home
ward, and in the city council has
personally represented the Brundage
Mccormick faction. in his assaults on
the city administration and the may
or.
If there was any one single fight
on the county ticket, the hall people
said, where the entire issue was
Brundage and Thompson, aside from
the legislative and committee bat
ties, it was this Wallace-Peters con-
test. And here the Brundsge forces
were showed under.
The victory of Arnold over Farlin
II. Ball in the Sixth District for state
committeeman was even more mark
ed than the Peters victory, the city
senate. In 1000 he was elected
presidenl on the IiederaIist ticket

BIG CITY HALL VICTORY
LATE VOTE SHOWS

nail leaders asserted.
In the closing days of the cam
paign the Mccormick -Brundage De-
neen- Grove forces combined against
Arnold and in support of Ball, who
was considered the strongest man
in the district to pit against the
Thompson man.
Ball is Looser
Ball was defeated by Arnold, ac-
eording to city hall figures, by at
least 5000 plurality.
While the hall spokesmen were not
commenting on the sheriff PROPOSE
ton, the figures in the Second Ward
seem to bear out the charge made
by Deneen at the close of the battle
that some of the city hall ward lead
ers were marking their ballots for
Hoffman, and not Laudenheimer.
The Second Ward returns shows
that Hoffman ran like racehorse
in that section of the city and by
practically the same vote that went
to other candidates who were known
TO have the good will of the hall
leadership.
But it was on the legislative bat
tie and the state committee, the
Thompson spokesman said last night
they showed under the combined
opposition.
Seven Are Won
The Mccormick Brundge people
particularly emphasized the tight for
state committeeman in the Chicago
districts, and sent out special bulle-
tins asking that the "enraged voters
kick the Thompson men into the
lake"
The Thompson forces made fight
! in nine districts-the nine districts
in which Mccormick Brundge fsrces
made their principal fight. The
Thompson people won seven of the
nine candidates, as follows:
First District-Francis p. Brady
| Second District--Edwin S. Davis.
Third District-James Rea.
Fourth Districts. G. Graham
Sixth District-Geo. BIB. Arnold.
Seventh District-Jno. p Garner
Eighth District-Gernard Brobow-
ski.
Y In eleeting these candidtes some
of the strongest Mccormick Brund-
age men in Chicago were showed
under Davis, president of the
Board of Education, defeated Geo.
, w. Reinecke, consistent anti-City
kHall leader.
Arnold in the Sixth defeated one
of the best known and highly es-
teemed men in the district when he
showed under Farlin Ball
