There is considerable truth in the ironic remark
made by Senator Norris yesterday that marines are
needed as much in Chicago they are in Nicaragua
Chicago is certainly going the pace and if re-
ports are to be believed the pace likely to be faster
than ever during the next few weeks with primary
campaign in sight
Our marines in Nicaragua to supervise the
election IN that country yet doubted if there
VIII be one-haf the violence crookedness and fraud in
the Nicaraguan election that is certain to take place
when Chicago citizens go to the polls. Apparently
voting in Chicago is difficult task if one wishes to
vote according to his DESIRES He must vote as he
is told, or deal with the gangsters.
The gangsters in turn take their orders from the
higher ups and these latter to it that their
ders are carried out Bombs knives, pistols machine
guns, in fact every conceivable weapon is used
to obtain the desires of crooked politicians.
Tammany in its worst days was a mild lamb COM
pared to the present Chicago political machine. Vote
laying and stuffed ballot boxes fade into the back
ground petty infractons of the law when one is
faced with murder in wholesale quantities.
Chicago needs something, perhaps it is the
