CHICAGO, April 2 I.N.SO.-A
record-Smashing plurality in ex-

as ballots were cast in the cleo
ton to choose a mayor, city clerk
and city treasurer.
Mr.. Kelly, the Democratic in.
cumbent, was opposed by Emil c..
Wetten, Republican, and Newton
jenkins, third party candidate.
Democratic chieftains predicted
a vote for Mr.. Kelly of 100000
or more.
Unlike many stormy mayoralty
campaigns of Chicago's history
the prediction jockeying has
shown little Semblance of a con-
test. Mr.. Kelly's election appar-
emily was assured, neutral observ-
erS agreed.
More than one million ballots
were expected to be cast in spite
of the quiet campaigning. Predic-
tons of snow and near-freezing
weather threatened to reduce the

Dog Racing Defeated
One of the most controversial
measures, a bill to legalize dog
racing in the State, was defeated
in the House early today.
The measure had precipitated
a hectic fight on the floor with
Kent R. Mullikin Cd Of Prince
Georges county, majority floor
leader, opposing the measure and
delegates from Baltimore fighting
for its enactment.
The measure to create a fourth
judgeship in Montgomery and
Frederick counties was passed by
the Senate last night by a vote of
% to S despite the effort Of
Senator Harry LIE Gore to defeat It..
The Senator referred to what he
called mysterious methods" used
to effect passage of the bill.
Prescott Accused
In the House the bill precipi-
tated a fight led by Delegate
Joseph A. Cantrel, FusioniSt Of
Montgomery county, who accused
the Senator of Montgomery
county, Stedman Prescott, Of hav-
ing sold his votes for administra-
ton measures for the next ap-
pointment to the judgeShip.
Mr.. Cantrel was aided in his
fight by members from Frederick
county but was opposed by three
Democratic members of tn e
Montgomery delegation.
Mr.. Cantrel later won his fight
to defeat two measures offered by
Senator Prescott which would have
allowed the governor to appoint
the liquor board and the super
visor of county school buildings.
These bills were defeated in the
House.

RELIEF FIGHT
Administration Moves to Put
ByrneS in Charge of Huge
Work-ReIief Measure
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

An undercover Administration
move to strip Senator Carter
Glass CD of Virginia Of author
ity over emergency appropriation
bills came to the surface today in
the bitter congressional row over
President Roosevelt's 4,880-million-
dollar work-relief bill.
House and Senate confereeS on
the bill today remained deadlocked
on the labor issue after a two
hour session.
AS chairman of the powerful
Senate Appropriation Committee,
Senator Glass has charge Of
emergency appropriation bills in
the Senate. The Administration
would sidetrack him and turn con-
troll of such bills over to Senator
James F. Byrnes CD of South
Carolina. a personal friend Of Mr..
Roosevelt.
Fireworks Likely
The shot that brought this
maneuvering into the open came
from Senator Robinson, the floor
leader, who complained that the
Senate confereeS - headed by
Senator Glass "unfriendly"
to the Presidents bill. He said
the time might come when he
would ask the Senate to select
friends of the bill" to handle 1t
in conference. This would mean
the substitution of Senator Byrnes
for Senator Glass as commander
of Administration forces.
# the Administration carries
out this threat, it would provoke
the worst intraparty warfare in
the history of the Senate. The
fireworks would surpass anything
ever staged by the Republicans in
former years, when the regulars
read a small insurgent group
out Of the party.
Host of Friends
Glass, while boasting a few enc
mics, has a host of friends in
the senate. At the same time, he
would be supported by Senate ira
dition. which gives committee
chalrmen the right to be in
charge of any bill coming from
their committee, regardless OF
the. personal views.
There were some rumors Sena-
tor Glass would resign as Sen
ate conferee on the relief bill to
placate the Administration. His
closest friends denied this and
said he would fight for his prin-
ciples to the bitter end. Other Sen
ate conferees were reported in a
similar mood.

Will Withdraw Tariff Cuts
From Nations Discriminate
ing Against America

President Roosevelt today pro-

ury with a big stick to WELD
over foreign nations which dis
criminate against Yankee traders
in the world markets.
The big stick was in the form
Of authority to withdraw the
benefits of tariff reductions the
State Department may make in
foreign trade agreements from
those nations which discriminate
against American trade.
This move marked adoption Of
{. n1omentous new tariff policy by
the Administration, whereby the
United States will follow the prac.
tice of discriminating against
those nations which discriminate
against this country. 1t will be
the first time since 1913 the
United States has had more than
one schedule of tariff rates for
foreign nations.
Four Nations Warned
All nations not considered guilty
of discrimination will receive
automatically any tariff reduction
concessions this Government may
make in any trade agreement
with a single nation. Those ma
tions guilty of discrimination will
be given a period of grace to re.
move the discrimination If they
fail to do so the Treasury Depart
ment will be directed to withdraw
from them the benefits of the tar.
if reductions granted other ma
tons by this Government.
If the United States is engaged
in trade negotiations with the dis
eliminating nation, the period Of
grace will be extended to six
months. Otherwise, it may be cut
to as short as 80 days.
AS his first act under this
policy, the President, in a letter
to Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau, directed, in effect,
that the Treasury wave the big
stick Immediately. in warning
to Germany, Italy, Denmark
and Portugal.
Others on Probation
These four nations are con.
Sidered to be practicing rank dis.
elimination against American
goods.
