CHICAGO. January 5.-This has
been a really joyful holiday seanson
for democrats of Chicago, and the hi
larity even extends throughout the
state. The two big republican fac
uons of Chicago have decided to en-
gage in a bitter factional struggle in
the primaries next April, and the bat
tie is expected to endanger the
chances of the republican candidates.
The contest will be for control of the
county offices.
The e-Harding- Barrett re-
publican group already has opened
county headquarters and is picking
out candidates. to run against friends
of Charles S. Deneen. The three
Deneen officials who will be up for
reelection are popular and in the
past have been good vote getters
whose terms expire are allied with
the Brundage-C ge-Crowe-Harding group,
and most of them were leaders In the
William Hale Thompson organization
four years ago. They are now bitter
opponents of Thompson and Gov.
Charles S. Deneen, who, starts to-
morrow on weeks stumping trip
down state, has headquarters in Chi
cago and is housing his county
friends for the moment It Is expected
that larger headquarters will be
opened. a complete Deneen county
slate named and the fight carried
into the state primary.
May Affect Presidency.
All of this might not be of general
interest were 1t not for the fact
that it involves the state contest, and
may affect the race for President
Leaders who have been trying to
bring about q peace agreement be-
tween the Deneen and Brundage
forces were actuated largely by a
desire to aid Senator Thurlow @.
Essington. the anti-small-Lundin
candidate for governor. They also
are backing Senator Medill McCor-
mick. The Small leaders hate Sem
ator Mccormick to such an. extent
that they are campaigning for De-
neen.
There is a fly in the ointment for
the democrats, though. They appear
to be facing a factional contest that
might offset the republican row.
State leaders are planning a conven-
tion to be held January 18 for the
purpose of tndorsing state slate.
The democrats consider their chances
so good this year that many aspi-
rants for ONCE do not take kindly
to the idea Of having convention
picked candidates.

Nothing like capitalization of DEM

their efforts to prevent his nomina-

him as the strongest republican can
