 In its fundamentals. the eam- paign between the Deneen group and the Small -Thompson-Cr Grove re- publicans has been throw the ras- calls out" on the one hand, and a most positive denial of rascality on the other. Neither side has hesitat- ed to use sharp language against the other: the Deneeners tearing at the administration of the state's at torney's affairs under Grove, with Grove and Thompson returning the fire by picturing crime conditions in Chicago when Senator Deneen him. self was states attorney.
 The Deneen candidate for gover- nor is Louis l.. Emmerson. now sec retary of state. He has charged that Gov. Small taxed Chicago heav-
 fly to build roads downstate. He has campaigned on a promise of economy Of state operation and q square deal for the city of Chicago.

 There was much preparation today to forestall and to deal quickly with election day violence or fraud. Ex- cept in their elaborateness, however, these separations were not new. for a Chicago election invariably is a strenuous experience.

 Federal agencies which became embroiled in the Chicago situation through the bombing of Senator De- neen's home and the subsequent shooting of a Thompson ward work CT by a prohibition agent, have been marking time There was no indt- cation that they would take any ac- tive part in tomorrow's voting, ex- cent to see that the voters rights are protected.
