Senator Charles 8. Deneen, who backed John A. Swanson, state's attorney, on the Republican ballot last year, has mapped a campaign to mingle federal and county guns in the attack on Chicago’s anti- crime battlefront.

The double offensive will center on violation of prohibition laws, admittedly a contributing cause to the city's criminal record. Liquor properties valued at $3,700,000 were seized in Chicago during 1928. Politico-criminal alliances as well as all other loopholes in Chicago’s network of law .and or- der will be serutinized.
