THOMPSON
MACHINE CLAIMED
PRIMARIES HELD IN ILL
NOIS YESTERDAY
Republican Fight Throughout
State Was Bitterest In Many
Years; Grow and Former Gov
\ ernor Deneen Headed Factions
IN Battle, and States Attor-
ney Won Out.
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch-J

Chicago, April 1.-THE political
faction of Mayor William H. Thomp-
son was given sharp competition in
the primary balloting yesterday des-
pite the fact that it had no Off
cial ticket in the field, for nine of
the republican candidates nominated
to the thirteen chief county officers
were opponents of the Thompson
organization which for several years
has been so powerful that often it
merely had to select a man to as
sure his nomination and election.
Following the recent judicial cleo
ton where every Thompson candi-
date was defeated, the primary re-
suits in Chicago were claimed by
the mayors opponents to be the
death knell of his machine" The
mayor himself and his political lieu
tenants were silent.
While the Thompson faction had
no organized ticket officially in the
field, it was no secret which candi-
dates were favored by the mayor.
OF the candidates so favored only
three were nominated.
Bitterest Fight In years
The republican fight was the bit
terest in many years here. On one
side were the followers of Robert
E. Grove, state attorney, who was
elected to that office on Thomp
son ticket and for years was a
lieutenant of the mayors but in
this fight Mr.. Grove bitterly oppos-
ed his former leader and allied
with Attorney General Brundage,
an old opponent of the Thompson
city forces and the Thompson
Small state forces.
The second faction of the repubH-
can party in the primaries was
headed by former Governor Charles
Deneen.
The results in the primaries here
show that the Grove Brundage
ticket carried the nominations for
county treasurer, sheriff, probate
Judge, criminal court clerk, asses
sor, sanitary district (2), the De-
neen group nominated the candi-
date for probate clerk anc one man
for the board of review, while men
backed the mayor were named for
county judge (uncontested,) county
clerk and one man for sanitary trus-
tee. The victor in the fight for the
county board was backed by the
three groups.

BITTER CLASH ON
TARIFF BILL SEEN
SENATORS PREPARING FOR
THE STRUGGLE
Chairman Fordney Declares
House Will Never Yield On
American Valuation Which
Will Be Accepted By Con-
ferees, Standing Seven To
Three.

Washington. d. C.. April IL
Fordney or the horse. ways and
means committee that the hous
never would yield on American
valuation, has revived discussion
of the tariff question at the capitol
with opponents and proponents es-
timaIng their possible strength
when the bill gets TO conference be-
tween the senate and hoHs.
Chairman Fordney is OF the
opinion that the conferees will ac-
cept American valuation but Sena-
tor Smoot of Utah, ranking repub-
lican on the senate finance com
mittee, does not subscribe to this
view. AS the situation now stanes
it would appear that the conferees
would be at least seven to three
against the American valuation.
Senators generally were studying
today the new tariff bill as report
ed yesterday to the senate in ,pre-
paration for the long days of con-
troversy that are ahead on the
senate floor. Several amendments
to rates in the bill already have
been offered from the republican
side, while democratic leaders are
preparing to make a general as
sault on the measure as well as
separate attacks on many of the
rates. Democrats on the finance
committee have been given ten
days in which to file their minority
report.
