 Curious Crowds There.
 Long before the court room doors were open, crowds of men. women and children were milling around the doors of the court house. A police detail under the direction of Lieu tenant James Mulville prevented girls and women from entering un- less they were connected with the case in an official manner.
 When Sullivan took the stand the court room was lined to the doors, the crowds closing up every avail able inch of space.

 fident democrats claimed a majority of 300,000 or more. regardless of weather. Some predicted a hals million majority.
 The figures were reckoned as ma- jorities, as the election board ruled all minor candidates out of the race on petition technicalities, leaving the field open for finish fight between Cermak and Thompson. Big Bill campaigned up to the last minute, sending his talkie shows, mounted on trucks, into outlying wards until far into the night, or as long as crowds would gather. Each side utilized the radio to catch vot- CTS who remained at their firesides.
 Thompsonism" was the issue. Cermak's followers interpreted it as synonymous with waste, extrava- gance, and gang rule." Thompson called 1t progress
 Cermak condensed his platform to these four questions and one declaration:
 Shall City Taxes continue to rise :? Shall gangs continue to rule?
 Shall Chicago's unsavory repu- tation continue?
 Shall waste and extravaganza in city government be continued? Thompsonism must be de- stroyed."
 One last newspaper advertisement displayed the platform in large type, flanked with editorial excerpts from 51 papers in all parts of the coun- try criticising Chicago. Thompson dealt generously in personalities in fighting Cermak He said Cermak was immune from prosecution and had accum- ulated $6.000,00O while head of the county board. The mayor claimed among other things in his rotogra- vure dodger to have reduced the price of milk, to have built mon- ster school and park system, and to have made a subway possible.
 Extra precautions were taken to prevent violence. All available po- lice, augmented by flying squadrons from the election commission and the states attorneys office. reported early for 12 hour shift on duty.
 Besides mayor, city treasurer, county clerk. a municipal judge and 21 aldermen were to be elected before the polls closed at 4 D. m.

 The London paper called to ask Alcock how many people would be killed in the mayoralty election and if he thought Big Bill'' Thompson would win.
 Alcock replied that nobody would get hurt and asked if Thompson could depend upon having the mor- al support of King George.

Germany Looks
 to United States
tcontinued from Page D

tContlnued from Page ID turned to their homes by the next spring.
 The U. s. troops were the first to evacuate the Rhineland and America was the first to lift her part of the food blockade of Germany-the starvation blockade as it was termed here.
 Americas food relief work made perhaps the deepest impression of all on the entire nation. White flour, sugar, bacon and beans may not ap- pear as eloquent terms in political debate. but they spoke a language of friendship to nation which had slowly been starving for two years.
 The first chocolate to be seen in Berlin for three years appeared shortly after the A. F. F. began liquidating its stores. It was sold on every street corner and was far more in demand than wursts and bread American relief work, packages from relatives in the U. S., and food de- pots where regular rations were is- sued, have not been forgotten.
 Part of Germany's hopes from friendship from America are natural ly financial. Based perhaps on the memory of relief immediately after the war, and on the U. s. leadership in facilitating loans and making stabilization possible. Germans gen- erally hope that somehow America will take the lead in lifting some of her present overwhelming burdens Even extremists, condemning the Young plan, use terms as a group catchword against all reparations, not against America alone. That Am- erica may take the lead in reducing war debts continues to be a fond hope. And that she. in some way, will lead the world to a new eco homie arrangement from which Ger many would profit is also a hope strongly cherished.
