CHICAGO, April 8 QN.S0 i.
Millions of Illinois voters tramped
to the polls today to decide the
most spectacular primary the
State has ever experienced--a
contest that has pitted q brainy,
resourceful woman against a
skilled politician of the old school.
BY nightfall they will have de-
termined whether Ruth Hanna
Mccormick is to be the Republi-
can nominee for the Senate, or
whether it is to be Senator
Charles s. Deneen, a two-time
governor, who has been q power
in Illinois affairs for more than
q quarter of q century.
i tS an engroSSing contest.
Mrs. acc Cormick Is the first Of
her sex to make q real bid for
the Senate. Moreover, she is the
daughter Of one famous Senator,
Mark Hanna, the widow Of an
other, Medill Mccormick, and she
is running against the man who
defeated her late husband. The
situation offers q vehicle for a
firSt-claSS drama.
Odds Favor Woman
The surface odds, betting, eli
matte and otherwise, favored the
woman as the trek to the polls
began at sunrise this morning.
The So-called wise money in the
Loop was being wagered eight
against five that she viii defeat
Deneen. And the betting is con-
siderable.
The weather was fair through
out the State, and that was sup
posed to be a happy omen for
Mrs. Mccormick. She cam
paigned throughout the States
102 counties, lambasting Senator
Deneen's record from stem to
stern, with particular emphasis
upon his vote for American
adherence to the league court.
Police Warned
Her supporters count upon her
coming up to the Cook county
line with an even break or bet
ter, and here in Cook county
(ChfcAgo) they are depending
upon a margin Of from $4,000
to 100000 votes.

The IS resolutions, summariz-
ing the conclusions of 306 bishops
of the Anglican church who were
in conference here for a month
under the leadership of the arcl1-
bishop of Canterbury, include q
stirring call to deal firmly with
divorce and birth control, to
preach against war in all its
forms for the safety of humanity
and the preservation of civiliza-
ton, and to allow greater
authority to women in the
church.
The resolution of birth control
aroused the SharpeSt controversy,
although it was finally adopted
by 1913 votes to 81 with AZ
absenteeS. It declared, primarily,
that in the case Of married per-
sons where there is clearly
felt moral obligation to limit or
avoid parenthood and where
there is a morally sound reason
for avoiding complete abstinence" !"
birth control is permissible pro
vided it is practiced in the ignt
of Christian principles"
Other resolutions included the
following:
The church recommends that
the marriage Of one whose part
ner in matrimony is still living
shall not be celebrated according
to church rites.
A broader field for women in
spiritual direction is acknowl-
edged necessary, and church dea-
conesses should be permitted to
''give spiritual counsel" and as

country to enter war if that
country refuses to submit the dis
