 Corruption

CHICAGO, Feb. 27. - Confronted with the four-fold task of selecting party candidates for mayor. city clerk, city treasurer, and nominations for the Congressional vatancy in the Second District created by the death of Representative James l.. Mann, Chicago voters went to the polls to- day to give the city an entire new administration. The election of fifty aldermen under the new district plan, and the selection of fifteen municipal park commissioners are among the duties of the electorate The outstanding feature of today's primary is the absence of the name of Mayor William Hale Thompson, for eight years the city's chief eX- ecutive, charges of corruption against whose administration have recently stirred the city. Mayor Thompson has retired with the announcement that he is content to let time prove whether or not his administration was for the good of Chicago. The Republicans have agreed to name Arthur c.
