CHICAGO ELECTION
BOARD REMOVED
Action Follows Reports of Alleged
Ward Irregularities-Early
Voting Heavy.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. November 2.-Sunshine
and keen political interest brought
out a heavy vote in Chicago IN the
first hour of balloting In the general
election today.
The three-cornered senatorial race
and competition for local Offices were
expected to bring out a large per-
centage OF the approximately 100000
registered votes. As a result Of re-
ported irregularities, County Judge
Jarecki relieved from duty the entire
election board in the seventh pre-
cinct of the twentieth ward, a West
Side ward, where frauds were un-
covered by recent special grand juries.
Morris Eller, Republican nominee
for one Of the three sanitary district
trustees. is party chief in the ward.

ITALY MAINTAINS ORDER.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
ROME, November 2.-Reports of
jubilation meetings Monday in prac-
tically every city, town and village
for Premier Mussolini's escape from
assa ssination shows surprisingly
little disturbance. In some towns eX-
cited Fascist bands attempted to fire
buildings which are regarded as
centers of the opposition, but usually
were prevented by the police and the
fire departments.
Secretary Turati of the Fascist
party, in an address to the militia, an
nounced that the death penalty now
proposed for any one attempting to
assassinate the Duce or members of
the royal family will be extended to
all persons assisting and encouraging
them.
Mussolini's personal organ, Popolo
di Roma, urges the F'aSciSts to remain
calm.
"Only the Duce," it says, has the
right to praise or blame. If we really
wish to serve the Duce and Italy, we
must maintain the utmost purity Of
life and repress personal passions"
All the remaining opposition news
papers in Eome-the Democratic
Monde and Risorgimento. and the
Republican Voce Republicana-have
been suspended. The same thing has
happened to the Liberal Stampa of
Turin.
The Pope's statement that Premier
Mussolini enjoys the special protec-
ton of God is widely echoed through
out Italy. 1t is pointed out that Carl
baldi enjoyed a similar reputation for
magic intangibility. His opponents
believed he caught bullets in his hand
and threw them back. Mussolini to-
day is regarded more than ever as a
man preserved to do great things.

Ter, in the contest against former Sem

The President not only departed
from his policy Of non-intervention
in the contests in the States publicly
to indorse Mr.. Butler, but also made
an overnight journey from Washing
ton to Northampton personally to cast
his ballot for the man who conducted
his campaign for the presidency two
years ago.
Charges of political corruption
brought into unusual prominence
the campaigns in half a dozen States
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Ore
gon. Washington and Arizona. The
inquiry by a special Senate commit
tee into conditions in the last-named
State was carried forward almost to
the time of the opening of the polls.
Because of a possible relation to
the presidential year 1928, campaigns
in New York, Maryland and Ohio held
more than their customary share of
the political spotlight. Gov. AL Smith,
whose long battle for the Democratic
presidential nomination in 1924, is
historic, again is putting his political
future to test in the Empire State. The
governor, however, did not alone hold
the center of interest in New Yorkk's
heated contest, as Senator Wadsworth
found himself in three-cornered race,
with his power in the Republican
State organization challenged because
of his stand on prohibition.
Atlee Pomerene seeks to regain IN

Up to noon it Is estimated that over
one-half Of the total registrattm IN
Baltimore of 198,077, Of whom TIA, ,4S7

been cast.
Clear weather is also bringing out
a heavy vote in the counties, accord
ing to reports reaching campaign
headquarters here, and the voting gen.
orally is far above normal.
Chief interest in the election centers
in the fight between Gov. Albert e.
Ritchie, who is seeking his third term,
and Addison f. Mullkin, his Republl-
can opponent, and the contest between
Senator O. E. Weller, Republican,
seeking reelection, and Representative
Millard E. Tydings, who is serving his
second term as Representative OF the
second congressional district.
Both Parties Confident.
Chairman of both parties are con-
fident Of success at the polls today
and gave out jubilant statements.
Galen l.. TAFT, chairman of the Re-
publican State central committee,
forecast that the campaign of reason,
truth and right would bring triumph
to the Republican camp" while How
ard Bruce, chairman Of the Demo
cratic campaign committee, said he
had never seen the Democratic pros
poets look better" and that he was
confident of the result.
Gov. Richie said that he was con-
fident of gaining a third term, as ''the
voters of Maryland were too intelli-
gent to be misled by the falsehoods
which had been put out by the Repub-
licans about Conowingo."
Addison E. Mullikin. the Repub-
lican gubernatorial candidate, is just
as optimistic as to his success, and
said: II am confident that a majority
of Marylanders has determined upon
a change in the administration, and
expect to be elected by substantial
ma iOrity."

closing in the city at 5 o'clock the
first official returns are not expected

Concerniay Reunions

This is the season for family re-

have learned that the newspaper is
the best medium through which to
give them publicity. We make no
charge for announcing such reunions
one time. Concerning the reporting
of reunions, we will ask that this be
done by someone attending. And
don't expect this paper to look up
such things-there are too many re-
unions for us TO do so. Reports of
reunions are published free. How
ever we will kindly ask of those re-
porting such, that they refrain from
trying to mention the names of all
present. Those from a distance
should be named. Again,-if reun-
ions are held of a Sunday, and you
want a report in the paper follow
ing, please do not delay in getting
copy to us until Wednesday. Get
it to us as soon as possible. If re-
ports reach us late, the chances are
they will be carried over until the
following week.
