more than, passing interest in the

ly populated in the city. 1t is locat-
ed on the North Side and Joins the

At the primaries held few weeks
ago Mr.. Boutell was high man in
large field of candidates and the bat

was found that Francis led his oppon-
ent by vote of nearly two to one,
carrying 48 of the so precincts in the
Ward.
