"Thompsonismo in Balance

Chicago today is electins a mayor.
| The people are to decide whether they
will continue Mayor Big Bill" Thomp-
son in Office for another four years or
not. That is the main issue. Anton
Cermak, the Democratic nominee, is
the weapon of the Thompson opposition
as much as he is the Democratic candi-
Cate for mayor. A Cermak victory,
after all, will be no more, in fact will
be much less. than Thompson defeat.
Better government organizations have
struggled for years to break the hold on
the city government Of Chicago which
has besn maintained by Mayor William
Hale Thompson. He has three times
been elected mayor, In 1918 Thompson
was fist chosen chi-f e,5e-utive IF the
city. IN 1919. when his var record had
| got him iGto hit wGtr, Thompson was
St.n abe to Be reelected by q 900
votes, -Four years later, when it was
obvious that he could not win, Thomp-
son was not candidate He staged a
comeback in 1927. however, and won
from his Democratic opponent, Mayor
Dever, by $4,000 in a total vote of
100000.
Thompson and his City Hall gang

when the voters, disguised with condi-
tons in Chicago. turned down his can
didate for STATES attorney and defeated

indication OF what might be expected
from Chicago when it was sufficiently
aroused. This year Thompson won the
Republican nomination for mayor simply
because the opposition split and put sew
eral candidates in fine field. His nomi-
nation was accomplished by a minority
vote Of the total cast in the primary.
The Thompson opposition, however,
did not make the mistake of placing in
nomination an Independent candidate
after the primary. This was a bitter
blow for Thompson's aspirations. The
opposition confidently expects to turn
Big Bill" out by an, overwhelming
vote today. 1t looks very much as
though Thompson had overTeached
himself at last by his tactics He turned
against FIRST one Republican group and
then another in his efforts to get
even" with those who have attacked his
administration of city affairs. He went
so far as tc support the Democratic
nominee for Senator James Hamilton
Lewis, in the last senatorial campaign
because of his hatred of Mrs. Ruth
Hanna Mccormick and her hackers.
Any appeal of his to be regular" in
consequence, has fallen on particularly
deaf ears in the present campaign.
In this campaign Thompson has un-
dertaken to stir up racial antagonism

Ccrmak, on the other hand, has confined
his attacks to the Thompson admins
tration of the citys affairs and has
pledged cleanup if he is elected

which today even showed traces Of
snow. But 1t is comforted by the re-
Election that this moisture is beneficial
to a greater number than the throng
who have come to the Capital for sight
seeing and enjoyment
Perhaps many of those who are here
now for the holidays had experience
with the drought of last year, which
afflicted wide section of this country.
Perhaps they know the suffering that
was caused by the almost total stoppage
If the rain for months, the lack of water
for the stock and for human beings, the
parching of the soil, the failure Of the
crops, the acute distress that ensued in
the lack of food. And they may know
that this condition persisted until the
Winter came, and that even throughout
January in this section the skies were
niggard of rain, and the year 1881
started with a succession of weeks when
no moisture was had, in any form.
There have been sad hours during
these weeks, when it seemed as If the
experience of 1880 was to be repeated in
1881. When the rains began a short
time ago there was some relief of
mind, which increased as the precipita-
ton continued. Day by day the official
figures of the rainfall since January
we're compared anxiously with the aver
age of thirty-three years. Little by little
the deficiency was lessened. March was
practically normal in the amount of
rain April started with promise and
now the wet month" is running true to
form and this present storm is bring
ing the record closer to the average
for third of century Including the
rain of yesterday and this morning the
deficiency Since J nuary is 3.75 inches
and there is hope that by the end
of the month the years total to date
viii have caught up to the long-term
figure.
This means much to the region round
about. 1t means springs and wells
allow instead of empty, soil saturated in
stead Of dry as stone, paintings possible
instead of impossible. This rain, SO
unpleasant to the Capitals guests,
means that the specter of drought is
for the present laid, and millions of
hearts, Oppressed by the possibility Of
repetition of last years sufferings and
losses, are gladdened with hope

Q. Please give some facts about the
tung oil industry.-N. D.

into the United States by the Depart
ment of Agriculture in 1905. In groves
OF the Southeastern States there are as
| many as 5000 acres of tung trees. The
commercial production Of the oil, how
ever, has thus far been confined to the
north-central part of Florida. Chinese
