THE ELECTION
FIGHT IN CHI.
RUthenberg Nominated
t For Mayor
By TOM KERNEY.

Especial to The DAILY WORK. R.)
CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Although the
usual noise and hustle of the mayor
atty campaign is well under way
here, the real vital issues are not be-
ing touched by the old capitalist cam
didates.
In the republican primaries there
are three aspirants to the mayoralty
nomination: Edward r. Litsinger of
the Deneen- Brundage group; William
Hale Thompson, eN-mayor, candidate
Of the Crowe-Galpin group, and John
Din Robertson, former health COM
missioner of Chicago, who is being
backed by the Lundm group and the
so-called Chicago Business Mems Re-
publican committee
Dever Has Denis.
While in the republican primary
there is a three-colnered fight, Mayor
Dever will have easy sleighing in the
democratic primary.
There are certain indications which
lead one to suspect that the Robert
son campaign Is "blind horse" to
split the Thompson forces in favor
of the Litsinger camp These indi-
cations are ca The main bulk of the
personal filth hurled from the Rob-
ertson camp lands on the head of
Robert +. Grove, State Attorney,
and his pet candidate, Thompson,
while Litsinger is hardly mentioned;
p Certain followers Of the Robert
son camp have deserted for Listing
er, and there is talk gong on OF more
assertions before the republican prim-
airy on Feb, p.
But What About the Workers?
The fact that the issues are barely
mentioned in the election, rallies
makes it hard to detect the class in
terests behind the smoke screen of
personal filth. However, there is one
thing that the workers can be sure
Of, and that neither the republican nor
democratic candidates if elected will
enact a single pro-labor measure in
the local demonstration.
Workers Party Enters.
The Workers (Communist) Party
here is raising the banner of indie
pendent working class politics in the
local elections. Although it has
placed its own mayoralty candidate
in the field, c. +. Ruthenberg, execu-
tive secretary of the Workers Com
munist) Party, it is willing at any
moment to withdraw him in favor of
a candidate chosen on a united labor
ticket and for a real labor program.
Meanwhile, the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party is busy securing signatures
on the petition for its own candidate.
Workers who wish to support work
ing class politics against the anti
labor politics of the two capitalist
parties are urged to stay away from
the primaries of the republican and
democratic parties, to sign the petit
ton for the Workers Party candi-
date, to raise the question of the
United Labor Ticket in workers or
CARNATIONS and to register on March
Is for the general election on April 5.

eager than Jessica. He remembered
the Bunny with the bee-stung lip, the
Pierette with the crescent of court

night he had seen her, there had been
no lack Of vivacity, and yet there
were so many Dummies and Jessicas.

Irene was happy in her position of
fiancee. She was more than happy
she was nearly always radiant. And so
confident, too. Nor was she in the
least exacting. Mark took her fish.

was always at least moderately sue

was an ideal companion, and yet
Mark was never quite comfortable.
He felt that he owed her endearments
and yet when he caressed her he felt
unnatural. She was sweet to careSs,
