voters decide the political future Of
Big Bill Thompson.
Entrance Of Dunno, on the side
of Thompson's Democratic oppo-
nent, Anton J. Cermak, made the
list of politicians and former poll
ticians taking part in the campaign
complete.
So great has become the public
interest in this race to decide who
shall be mayor of Chicago during
the 1888 worlds fair that every man
who ever controlled so much as a
precinct has announced for one of
the candidates.
Dunno urged Cermak's election in
a public statement, claiming Ger
mak's public record was better than
Thompson's and blaming the mayor
for outrageous expenditures which
have resulted in high taxes"
Both Thompson and Cermak
made numerous speeches again to-
day as their bands doomed through
the loop and ward meetings were
held in every section of the city.

who has held the post without re-
appointment since Oct. 1, 1929.
Reports are current that the move
is backed by the Republican state
committee and has met with favor
from persons as close to Governor
Harry G. Leslie as his secretary. L.
O. Chasey
Chasey told The Times today that
Carey's application for the position
has been filed officially"
Carey's claim to knowledge re-
garding the position derives from
the fact that he was chief Of the
Indianapolis fire prevention bureau
under the regime of former Mayor
John L. Duvall. He long has be-
a henchman of George V. Boss
Coffin. The two were reared to-
gether in Noble county.
Admitting the effort being made
for him, Carey stated that it is
not political" and if he obtains
the appointment it will be without
strings"
