SOUND DEATH KNELL
OF THOMPSON RULE
Candidates Supported by Thompson
Machine in Chicago Defeated
at Primaries.


Chicago, Ill. - The present faction
of Mayor William Hale Thompson was
given sharp competition in the primary
balloting yesterday despite the fact
that it had no official ticket in the
field, for nine of the Republican can
didates nominated to the thirteen chief
county offices were opponents of the
Thompson organization which for sew
eral years has been so powerful that
often it merely had to select man to
assure his nomination and election.
Following the recent judicial cleo
ton where every Thompson candidate
was defeated, the primary results in
Chicago were claimed by the mayors
opponents to be the death knell Of his
machine" The mayor himself and
his lieutenants were silent.
While the Thompson faction had no
organized ticket officially in the field,
it was no secret which candidates were
favored by the mayor. Of the candi-
dates so favored, only three were nom
mated.
The Republican fight was the Bit
terest in many years here.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Chicago - Human exhibits to prove
that maintenance of way railroad en-
ployes cannot live properly on their
present pay today were brought be-
fore the United States Railroad Labor
Board hearing into the roads demands
for wage cuts when Frank P. Walsh,
union attorney, called to the witness
stand a number of employees and per-
sonally told the board their present
earnings kept them under fed, I'M
clothed and lacking some of the neces-
stiles of life.
Mrs. Joseph Saboni, wife of Mil
waukee section hand was the first
exhibit called. She told the board
that she had to borrow the old coat
she wore to make the trip here. At
the end of her story she turned to the
board members and said:
IT know that you won't cut my hus-
bands, pay when you know we can't
live on what he's getting now"
Mrs. Saboni said her husbands earn
ings last month were $40. Her month
~ expenses for bare necessities were
given as $40 for groceries, $50 for
meat. SIS for rent and $3.50 for milk.
Her ten year old boy was told by a
school nurse that he had consumption
and she took him out of school, but
the doctor said he was merely under
nourished, she testified.
"We fed him mostly on tea, bread
and syrup" she said. "but the doctor
said he had to have milk"

Chicago, Ill. - Late returns in yes
terday's state congressional primaries
rolled up increasing leads for Con-
gresham Yates and for Henry R.
Rathbone of Kenilworth for the Re-
publican nominations for congressman
at large, Mrs Winnifred Mason Huck,
was steadily losing in her race for the
nomination for the vacancy left by her
father, Congressman Mason, when he
died and at noon was trailing Stephen
Day of Evanston by more than 10000
on returns from 3,647 precincts out of
5,788 in the state.
The Democratic contests for con-
gressmen at large nominations were in
doubt this morning.
In the districts where chief interest
conferred the following results were
indicated from almost complete re-
turns:
Eleventh district - Frank R. Reed,
Aurora, is leading Congressman Ira
Copley on the face of 1O2 out of 1873
precincts for the Republican nomina-
ton. The vote stood: Reed, 1851;
Copley, 1919.
Sixteenth district = With 148 out of
215 precincts heard from Congressman
Ireland is trailing William E. Hull,
Peoria, for the Republican nomination.
The vote: Hull 1852; Ireland 11,007.
The local newspapers call attention
to these two races as reflecting senti-
ment of the wet and dry factions.
Eighteenth district = J. H. Lewman,
Danville, known as an anti-Small can
didate in the governors own district,
had rolled up nice lead over three
opponents who would wear the con-
gressional gown put aside by Uncle
Joe" Cannon.
Twentieth district Henry T.
Rainey, former congressman who was
defeated in 1920, came back and won
the nomination on the Democratic
ticket according to return from near
ly half the district. Congressman
Shaw, Republican, had no opposition.
In no case did sitting congressman
fail of nomination.

MORGAN'S HAT
in STATE RING
Announces Candidacy for
Republican Nomination
for Governor.
TO SUPPORT CHOICE
(By Associated Press Leased Wire

by Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Madison-Atty.-Gen. w. j. Morgan
today announced his candidacy for gov
ernor at the September primaries. In
his statement Mr.. Morgan says: 81
believe in and favor the primary sys-
tenn of nomination because it keeps a
government close to the people and |
would oppose any plan that would take
the choice of officers out of direct con-
troll of the people"
Mr.. Morgan claims, however, that
there is weakness in the primary
system in that it permits the election
of minority candidates. He believes
that the Committee of Forty Four:
has solved this difficulty by its plan of
holding convention and that thereby
unity among those opposed to the
forces of radicalism can be obtained
Morgan says further that he will abide
by the decision of the Committee Of
Forty -Four, saying:
81 intend to submit my candidacy at
the September primaries unless before
that time it becomes apparent that
some other candidate representing the
principles and policies for which l
stand can command a more united sup
port. Who the stronger candidate is,
should be determined by the conven-
tion called by the Committee of Forty
Four. If I am not endorsed by the
Republican nomination for governor by
that gathering, | will not be a candi-
date for any political Office, but l in
tend to Fundamentally support such
candidate"

ToDAY's QUESTION:

Which team do you think will win
the National League pennant?
Mrs. Ernest F. Marlatt, sos West
street, housewife don't know which
team in the National League will win
the pennant, but I hope the. Simmons
team will win the pennant in the Mid
west league. With such an array of
experienced talent on the managerial
end of the team, they can't help but
win.
J. F. Knapp, 900 Willow street, scout
master-I think the Giants are ready
to repeat again this year. When a
team wins championship and comes
back next season on good tires and
with even better and stronger equip
ment, it means that the fans can ex-
pect real stuff from them.
H. Cohn, 430 remont avenue, stu.
dent-I'd like to see the Chicago Cubs
come back and show some real speed.
| think they have it in them, if they'll
only take advantage Of it.
G.. NJ, 467 Market street, salesman
st. Louis Cardinals are due for the
pennant this year, I believe They
never had a better team, and they
never had a better chance to cop.
John Lynch, Chicago, cartoonist- If
Brooklyn doesn't win the National
League flag, Pittsburgh will. And if
Pittsburgh doesn't some other team
will, and all we can do is to wait until
it's done. I think the Philadelphia
team has as much chance today as
any one.

Collapse of Defense a Surprise.
The collapse of the defense in the

bribery the props had been knocked
out from under the defense of the Ke-
nosha members of the so-called whisky
ring. 1t is known that attorneys for
these men had advised them that their
best bet was to throw themselves on
the mercy of the court after plea of
guilty. The pleading by these men

MiIwaukee.-A flat denial that he
ever had conspired to bride Bert P.
Herzog was made today by Arthur
Birk, Kenosha lake captain and
former salocmkeeper, when he took
the stand in his own behalf in fed
eral court Birk said he never had
taken any money to be used to
bride Herzog and that he did not
know a fund had been raised for
that purpose. He said that when
Harry Feuer, Chicago, from whom
he admitted buying whiskey, came
to collect $500, Feuer said he
wanted the money as the final pay
ment on Birks whiskey. Birk tes-
tilted that Feuer when he arranged
with him in his saloon to sell the
whiskey, they were alone. The APP
parent object of bringing out this
testimony was to show that while
Birk had bought whiskcy, he had
not been guilty of conspiracy. Blrk
said the only dealing that he had
had with his co-defendant at the
time the carload of whiskey was
unIoaded in Kenosha, was driving
the car which transported them
from the saloon of Charles Erler,
a co-defendant, to the railroad yard
where the whiskey car was. What
was considered point for the de-
Tense. so far as the charge of con-
spring to bride Herzog is con-
cerned, was testimony today by
Joseph Custer, a co-defendant, that
apparently the $500 note which
Birk gave Feuer was in payment
for the whiskey and not for the
bribing of Herzog.

The firm of White and White, one OF
the three remaining contestants for
the job of architect of the new court
house and Jail, was under fire this
morning at special meeting of the
county board, which promised to be
altogether a warm session.
The criticism Of White and White
charged them with bringing into the
new contest the same old plans for
which the county board had once paid
$4,000 and rejected. The firm now
offered to sell the same plans and be
architects for the job for per cent
of the building cost, or about $4,000,
offering to make the alterations in the
plan that would suit the requirements
of the board, and allow the $4,000 off
on the fee.
It was pointed out in the discussion
that followed that White and White
had really submitted no new plan and
that there was merely their verbal
word Of what they would do and no
concrete plans to show the board.

George Chitcherin, head of the Rus
sian delegation has asked Signor
Schanzer, as chairman of the principal
sub-commission for exact interprcta-
ton of several points in the plan for
the restoration of Russia handed to
him yesterday.
M, Ch.tcherin desires specially an
explanation of that part of the report
dealing with the guarantees to be ex-
tended to foreigners in Russia. re.
marking that in other European eoun-
tries, foreigners are treated like citi,
zens of the countries in which they
reside.
Only eleven copies of the report
which was prepared by the allied ex-
perts at their meeting in London have
been made for the members of the sub
commission examining it.
The Russian experts are carefully
digesting the recommendations of the
London experts but the document is
so long and so involved that the Rus
SLAMS may ask for more time to con-
slider it. They think it will be diff
cult to have ready reply in detail for
the next meeting of the sub-commis-
sion, which has been arranged for Fri
day
