DENFEN HAS BEEN 1 STEADY CLIMBER
Has Worked His Way Up From
 Bottom

! Chicago. April II UP)-Charles s. Deneen. who climbed a long and devious route from the obscurity of a Chicago law office. through the offices of states attorney, assembly, man. governor and United States senator has returned to his native bailwick and scored one of the most notable victories in the history of Chicago politics.
 ! Friends of Senator Deneen today were giving him the credit for rout- ing the political organization of Mayor Big Bill' Thompson and the States Attorney Robert E. Grove. administration for the last six years. Deneen's victory here drew atten- tion and comment throughout the country. Although not candidate himself he organized and directed the republican faction which won victory at the polls over the group including Grove. Gov. Len Small and Col. Frank Smith, who was re- fused admittance to the United States senate because he accepted large campaign donations from Sam uel Insull, the public utilities mag nate.
 1 Deenen is 65 years old X native 1llinoisan he was educated in the middlewest and began practice of law in Chicago in 1886. It was six years before he appeared in state politics as a representative in the state assembly.
 Good Lawyer.
 His ability as a corporation lawyer gained him appointment as attorney { for the sanitary district of Chicago in 1895. A year later he was elected states attorney of Cook county and , in 1905 began the first of his eight years service as governor of Illinois. Throughout his campaign and ad- ministration as governor. Deneen's adherence to principles of clean politics was unchallenged. He kept himself in the background and his conduct never was spectacular.
 Deneen won the republican guber- material nomination again in 1912 but was defeated by Edward F. Dunne, democrat. He retired to private practice in Chicago and withdrew from all participation in state politics.
 Then in 1924 he emerged after lc years of relative inactivity in poli- tics. His goal was the senatorial nomination over the candidacy of Senator Mediii Mccormick. Deneen's victory was surprising If not wholly unexpected. Before Deneen took of- flee, Senator Mccormick died and the senator elect was appointed to serve out the remainder of the term.
 Deneen's friendship with Frank c. Lowden. who followed him as gover- nor, was the basis of powerful state organization. Between Lowden and William Hale Thompson there existed an enmity which had been carried on from the republican na- tional convention in Chicago in 1920 when Thompson bolted the state delegation and turned 21 of Illinois votes from Lowden.

 PAONESSA MAYOR

The democratic council cam didates in tho fourth ward trailed behind Paonessa and lost by a small vote. although the ward registered in favor of the head of the ticket.
 The republican wards proved a disappointment to the ticket, the third district giving Bartlett less of a lead than 1t gave Gardner c. Weld two years ago. The first ward showed several hundred votes less in the republican column than the party leaders had expected.
 By reason of the fact that they were nominated by the republicans and endorsed by the democrats, the following were automatically induct- ed into office: Roger Whitman and William F. Huber. first ward coun- cilmen: Walter l.. Fall. second ward alderman: Town Clerk A. l.. Thomp- son. Tax Collector Bcrnadotte Loom- is, Comptroller H. L. Curtis and Treasurer Curtis l.. Sheldon.
