Chicago, Feb. 2S.-The power
full political machine built up in
Chicago under the guidance of
Mayor VIM. Hale Thompson was
finally shattered at Tuesdays mu-

Edward r. Litsinger, candidate

ed by Arthur c.. Leuder' who
was supported by the Senator

Although Mayor Thompson

among the various states, a
large portion of his old organiza
ton was behind Litsinger, Lun-
din, who was Thompson''s politi-
cal manager, was reported to
have directed Litsinger's cam
paign from behind the scenes.
The aldermen who had stayed
with Thompson through the
rough politica! voyage of the last
four years were defeated at the
primary. The democrats scored
big gains, electing twenty four
out of the thirty aldermen CIV
ing encouragement TO the support
ers of Judge VIM. Dever, Demo-
