Both have besen at one time affiliated with Thompson's organization, but both have been out- 3poken opponents in recent years. Although this similarity of argument runs through their campaigns, the personalities of the two men are greatly different and there is much bitterness in the two camps because the anti- administration vote is being split. Lyle is as spectacular a campaigner as he is a spectacular judge. His stage properties are the deadly weapons of the gangster and as he talks he holds up a machine gun and demonstrates how 1t is put together. He tells what gangsters use that type of weapon, how many shots it fires and how accurate is its aim. The audience shudders. Albert Organizes Women. Lyle is thin and of medium height, but he gives the impression of enormous ienergy.

Three former candidates, who failed to beat Thompson, are among his backers. The young alderman is short, heavy- set and has a beaming ruddy complex- fon. He speaks rapidly, telling of the reforms he thinks necessary to giv: the city a good government, Although he has the solid support of the Democratic organization, Anton J.
